Privacy Policy

Last updated: 5 August 2026

Who we are

This website (starverb-audio.com) and the StarVerb Audio plugins are operated by Sir Emanuels, an individual developer based in Italy, acting as data controller. For anything related to your data, write to starverbaudio.support@gmail.com.

The short version

This site does not use cookies, does not carry advertising and does not profile you. Fonts and images are served directly by the site, not by third parties. We do count page views and plugin downloads, through a privacy-focused service that works without cookies — described below. Beyond that, we collect as little as technically possible.

Hosting logs

The site is hosted by Netlify, Inc. (USA). Like any web host, Netlify automatically processes technical data of visitors — IP address, browser user agent, requested pages, timestamps — in server logs, for security and operation of the service. See the Netlify Privacy Policy for details. We do not use these logs to identify visitors.

Visitor statistics

To know which pages are read and how many people download a plugin, this site uses Umami, a privacy-focused analytics service operated by Umami Software, Inc. Umamidoes not use cookies and stores nothing on your device, which is why this site shows no cookie banner. It records the page you viewed, the site you arrived from, and general technical data — browser, operating system, device type, screen size and country. To avoid counting the same person twice in one day, it derives a temporary identifier from your IP address and browser; that identifier changes every day and your IP address itself is not stored. The statistics we see are aggregate counts and cannot be traced back to you as an individual. We use them only to understand which plugins people are interested in, never to target advertising. See the Umami Privacy Policy for details.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in measuring how the site is used. If you would prefer not to be counted at all, any tracker-blocking extension, or your browser's “Do Not Track” setting, will stop the measurement — nothing on the site depends on it.

Downloads

Our plugins are currently free and are delivered through Gumroad, Inc. To send you the download link, Gumroad collects your email address and the technical data of the download, and processes it under the Gumroad Privacy Policy. We can see, in our Gumroad dashboard, the email addresses of people who downloaded a plugin, and we use them only to deliver the product and to answer support requests — not to send marketing unless you explicitly subscribe. If we start selling plugins in the future, Gumroad will act as merchant of record and this section will be updated accordingly.

Update check inside the plugins

When you open its interface, a plugin contacts this website at most once a day to read a small file containing the latest published version number, so it can tell you when an update is available. The request carries no personal data, no licence key, no identifier and no information about how you use the plugin or your projects. Like any web request it does expose your IP address and the connection data your system sends by default, which Netlify records in the hosting logs described above; we do not use those logs to identify or profile you, and nothing is shared with third parties. The result is cached locally on your computer. If you are offline, the check fails silently and the plugin works normally. The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in letting you know about fixes and new versions of software you already installed.

Email contact

If you write to us, we use your email address and the content of your message only to reply and provide support. Messages are kept only as long as needed for that purpose.

Your rights (GDPR)

If you are in the European Economic Area, you have the right to access, rectify, delete, restrict or object to the processing of your personal data, the right to data portability, and the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority (in Italy, the Garante per la Protezione dei Dati Personali). To exercise any of these rights, contact starverbaudio.support@gmail.com.

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be published on this page with an updated date.
