Plain-language summary of what Restock Bell stores and why. Last updated: October 2026.

For shoppers

What we collect: when you ask to be told that a product is back, we store your email address, the product you picked, the store, the time, the consent text you agreed to, and a one-way scrambled (hashed) version of your IP address to prevent abuse.
Why: only to send you the one email you asked for: a confirmation email, then a single "it's back" email when the store restocks that product. We never send marketing, never sell your address and never share it with other stores.
Who sends it: the email is sent on behalf of the store you signed up with, and replies go to that store.
How it's stored: your email address is encrypted. It is deleted as soon as your restock email is sent, if you unsubscribe, or after 180 days, whichever comes first.
What we keep after that: a hashed (non-reversible) version of your address so we don't email you again if you unsubscribed, plus a record that you consented. Stores can see a partly hidden version of your address (like j***@gmail.com) while you're waiting; they can't export it.
Unsubscribe: every email has an unsubscribe link that works with one click.

What we access in Square: your Square Online site list and code snippet (to add the button), your item catalog and inventory counts (to know when something is back), and your business name and email.
What we store: your Square access tokens (encrypted), store settings, a copy of item names and stock status, waitlist sign-ups and anonymous counts of sold-out page views.
Payments: paid plans are billed by Stripe. We don't see or store your card number.
When you disconnect: we remove the button, revoke our Square access and delete your store's data (waitlists, product data, history, settings). We keep only a minimal account record and billing records we're required to keep.
If you revoke access from your Square Dashboard instead, we delete your data the same way.

We use a hosting provider, an email delivery provider and Stripe for billing. They process data only to provide those services to us.

Questions or deletion requests: [contact email address]. Postal address: Restock Bell, [postal address required before launch]
