Version 3.0 • Last Updated: July 2026

Welcome to Stacklier. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when interacting with Stacklier's editorial content, software submission forms, partnership inquiries, newsletters, and other services.

01 Information We Collect

Information You Provide

Depending on how you interact with Stacklier, you may voluntarily provide information through our contact forms, newsletter subscriptions, software submission forms, guest post applications, partnership inquiries, advertising requests, or Priority Editorial Evaluation requests.

This information may include your name, business email address, company name, website, job title, product details, software documentation, demo credentials, portfolio links, and any other information you choose to submit.

Information Collected Automatically

When you visit Stacklier, certain technical information may be collected automatically, including your IP address, browser type, device information, operating system, referring website, pages viewed, session duration, and general usage statistics.

This information helps us improve website performance, understand visitor behavior, enhance user experience, and maintain website security.

02 How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to operate, maintain, and improve Stacklier and to provide relevant editorial and business services.

  • Respond to contact and support requests.
  • Review software submissions and editorial pitches.
  • Communicate regarding partnerships and advertising opportunities.
  • Conduct Priority Editorial Evaluations when requested.
  • Send newsletters and educational content to subscribers.
  • Improve our editorial content, research, and website functionality.
  • Detect spam, fraud, abuse, or security incidents.

03 Cookies & Analytics

Stacklier uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience, remember user preferences, measure website performance, understand visitor engagement, and support affiliate attribution where applicable.

We may also use trusted analytics providers to understand aggregate visitor behavior. These analytics help us improve our editorial content, navigation, and overall website experience. Information collected through cookies is generally used in aggregated or anonymized form whenever practical.

Cookie Choice

Most web browsers allow you to manage, block, or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of some features on the website.

04 Software Submission Privacy

Software companies may voluntarily submit products to Stacklier for editorial consideration through our Software Submission Guidelines, partnership inquiries, or product evaluation requests.

Information submitted may include product descriptions, pricing information, documentation, screenshots, demo accounts, onboarding material, feature lists, integrations, company details, and other supporting resources.

This information is used solely for editorial research, product evaluation, communication with your team, and determining whether the software is relevant for our readers.

Confidentiality

Stacklier does not sell confidential product information or documentation submitted for editorial evaluation. Materials are used only for legitimate editorial research and communication with the submitting company.

05 Priority Editorial Evaluation

Companies requesting a Priority Editorial Evaluation may provide temporary software access, product demonstrations, onboarding sessions, documentation, or other materials that assist our editorial team in conducting an independent evaluation.

Access credentials are used only by authorized members of the Stacklier editorial team for testing and research purposes.

Temporary accounts, credentials, or confidential product access are securely handled and removed when they are no longer required for editorial evaluation.

Editorial Independence

Purchasing a Priority Editorial Evaluation does not influence editorial decisions, review outcomes, rankings, recommendations, or publication decisions. These services compensate Stacklier only for the time required to conduct editorial research and product testing.

06 Advertising & Partnership Communications

If you contact Stacklier regarding advertising opportunities, sponsorships, partnerships, webinars, newsletter placements, or commercial collaborations, we collect only the information necessary to communicate with you and manage those discussions.

Partnership communications are maintained separately from our editorial decision-making process. Commercial discussions do not affect editorial reviews, software rankings, comparisons, recommendations, or independent research.

07 Third-Party Services

Stacklier may use trusted third-party service providers to operate the website and deliver our services efficiently. These providers may include website hosting services, email delivery platforms, analytics providers, payment processors, form providers, and affiliate platforms.

These third parties process information only to the extent necessary to provide their respective services and are subject to their own privacy policies and applicable legal obligations.

08 Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services, maintain editorial records, manage partnerships, fulfill legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and enforce our policies.

When information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to securely delete or anonymize it in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

09 Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and applicable privacy laws, you may have the right to access, correct, update, export, or request deletion of your personal information held by Stacklier.

You may also withdraw your consent for marketing communications, unsubscribe from newsletters, or request that we stop processing your information where legally applicable.

  • Request correction of inaccurate information.
  • Request deletion of your personal data.
  • Request a copy of the information we hold.
  • Withdraw consent for marketing communications.
  • Ask questions about how your information is processed.

10 Data Security

Stacklier implements reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to help protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

While we strive to use commercially reasonable security measures, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users submit information at their own discretion.

11 Children's Privacy

Stacklier is intended for business professionals, agencies, consultants, software companies, and service-based organizations. Our services are not directed toward children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
