Privacy Policy

Last updated 3 November 2026

Scops runs on your servers and sends us none of your database data. We only hold what we need to sell, deliver and support your license.

1. Who we are

Scops (“we”) is the controller of the personal data described here. Write to support@scops.dev about anything in this notice.

2. What we collect

• Contact form: your name, work email, company, topic and message.
• Purchases: Paddle collects your payment details as Merchant of Record. We receive your name, email, company, country, tax ID if you give one, and what you bought. We never see your card details.
• License activation: the purchase code, the Server ID, the licensed-to name, the time of the request and its IP address.
• Email: the messages we exchange with you, including purchase codes and renewal notices.
• Website visits: Cloudflare Web Analytics records the page you open, the site you came from, your country, browser, operating system, device type and how fast the page loaded. It sets no cookies, and we see only totals, not individual visitors. Google Analytics records the pages you open, the site or campaign that brought you, your approximate location, your browser, operating system and device, and how you move through the site. It tells visits apart with a cookie holding a random ID; Google Signals and ad personalisation are turned off.
• Installer downloads: the time, the installer's name, your country and city and the owner of your network as derived from your IP address, your browser and operating system, the page that led to the download, the website that sent you to scops.dev on that visit (for example a search engine, or none when you typed the address) and the first page you opened, the website of your first visit if it was another one, and a one-way hash of your IP address and browser so we can count unique downloads. We do not store the IP address itself.

Scops itself runs on your servers. It does not send us your database data or usage telemetry.

3. Why we use it

• To answer your questions (our legitimate interest, or steps before a contract).
• To deliver and manage your licenses and support (performance of a contract).
• To keep tax and accounting records (legal obligation).
• To protect the activation service from abuse (our legitimate interest).
• To see how the website is used, how fast it loads and how often Scops is downloaded (our legitimate interest).

4. Who receives it

Paddle, as our reseller and Merchant of Record, under the Paddle Privacy Notice. Cloudflare, our hosting and website statistics provider, Google, which provides Google Analytics, under the Google Privacy Policy, and our email delivery provider, who process data only on our instructions. Professional advisers and authorities where the law requires. We do not sell your data.

5. International transfers

Our providers may process data outside your country. Where data protection law requires it, we rely on adequacy decisions or standard contractual clauses.

6. How long we keep it

• Contact messages: 2 years after our last exchange.
• Purchase and license records: for the license period, then as long as tax and accounting law requires (up to 10 years).
• Activation request logs with IP addresses: 90 days.
• Website visit statistics: 6 months at Cloudflare, 2 months at Google Analytics.
• Download records: 2 years.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you can ask to access, correct, delete, restrict or export your data, and object to its use. Write to us at support@scops.dev. You can also complain to your data protection authority.

8. Cookies

This website uses Google Analytics cookies (_ga and _ga_*) only to count and tell apart visits; they hold a random ID, last up to 2 years and are not used for advertising. The website also keeps, in your browser's local storage for up to 90 days, the name of the website that first sent you here and the first page you opened, and, in its session storage until the tab is closed, the same for the current visit, so that a download can be counted to it. It is sent to us only when you download the installer. You can block them in your browser or with Google's opt-out add-on. When you open checkout, Paddle may set cookies needed for payment and fraud prevention.

9. Security

We use HTTPS, limit who can reach the data, and keep license signing keys encrypted.

10. Changes

We may update this notice. The date at the top shows the current version.
