Privacy Policy

Last updated: 17 March 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Distillr ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you use distillr.co (the "Service").

1. Data Controller

The data controller is:
Pär Nilsson (enskild firma)
Email: hello@distillr.co

If you have questions about how we handle your personal data, please contact us at that address.

2. What Data We Collect

Account data

When you create an account we collect your email address. We use magic-link authentication — no password is stored.

Usage data

With your consent we collect anonymised analytics events (pages visited, features used, session duration) via PostHog. This helps us understand how the Service is used and improve it. If you decline analytics cookies no tracking events are recorded.

Content you provide

Content sources you add to the Service, any content extracted from those sources, and the text of chat messages you send are stored so that we can provide the Service to you. This content is processed by AI models operated by third-party providers (see Section 4).

Do not submit content containing confidential, proprietary, or sensitive information that you are not authorised to share with third-party processors. We are not responsible for any consequences resulting from such submissions.

Billing data

Payment information (card number, billing address) is handled entirely by our payment processor, Polar. We receive only a customer ID and subscription status. We never store full card details.

Error and performance data

We use Sentry to monitor application errors. Sentry may collect device information, browser type, and — where relevant to diagnosing an error — parts of the request that triggered it. This data is retained for 90 days in Sentry.

5. International Data Transfers

Some of our processors (OpenAI, Sentry, Polar, Inngest, Vercel) are based in the United States. Where personal data is transferred outside the EU/EEA we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission, or an adequacy decision, to ensure an adequate level of protection.

  • Rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate data.
  • Erasure — ask us to delete your personal data (subject to legal retention obligations).
  • Restriction — ask us to restrict processing in certain circumstances.
  • Data portability — receive your data in a machine-readable format.
  • Object — object to processing based on legitimate interests.
  • Withdraw consent — withdraw analytics consent at any time via the Cookie Preferences link in the footer. This does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

8. Supervisory Authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten, IMY) at imy.se.
