What we collect, and what we do with it.

What we collect when you submit

• Your email address.
• The role and category you selected.
• Your years-of-experience bucket and your hourly rate.
• Whether you submitted in USD or PHP.
• The IP address and browser user-agent that made the request.
• Timestamps for when you submitted and when you confirmed the consent box.

Why we collect it

Your role, experience bucket, and rate are aggregated into the peer benchmarks shown to other freelancers. Aggregation requires at least five submissions before a role shows any statistic — we don’t reveal individual rates.

We send your benchmark report to your email address and store it so the unique link in the email keeps working if you come back later.

IP address and user-agent are used only for rate-limiting and abuse prevention. They are not shared or used to profile you.

Who processes your data

We use a small set of third-party providers to run the service. Each only sees the data it needs:

• Supabase — database where submissions and aggregated stats are stored.
• Resend — sends the report email to your inbox.
• Cloudflare Turnstile— verifies you’re not an automated bot when you submit.
• Vercel — hosts the site.

What we don’t do

• We don’t sell your data.
• We don’t share individual submissions with anyone.
• We don’t run ad-tracking or third-party analytics scripts.
• We don’t profile you across other sites.

Cookies

After you submit, we set one signed, HttpOnly cookie that proves your browser is the one that created a given report. It expires after 30 days and contains no personal data — only a signed reference to the report ID. This is what lets you re-open your report from the email link and trigger a resend.

How long we keep it

Submissions are retained indefinitely so the peer-aggregate benchmark keeps reflecting the market. If you want your individual row deleted, email us (see below) with the email address you used and we’ll remove it within 14 days. Aggregate statistics derived before deletion may persist, but they cannot be traced back to you.
