Usage data. We log API requests including timestamps, the URL parameter passed, response status codes, and your API key identifier. We do not log the content of the favicons we retrieve on your behalf.

Billing information. Payment processing is handled by Stripe. We do not store your card number or payment details on our servers. We receive a customer ID and subscription status from Stripe.

Technical data. Standard web server logs including IP address, browser type, referring URL, and pages visited. This information is used for security and to diagnose technical issues.
