Third-party services
Cookies and sessions
WaxTracker uses a session cookie (waxtracker_session) to keep you logged in, a secure HTTP-only JWT that expires after 30 days. We also use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use the app. No personal data from your Discogs collection is shared with Google Analytics.
Data retention
Your data is kept for as long as you have an account. Price snapshot history is retained indefinitely, since it is the core value of the app. If you disconnect your Discogs account or ask us to delete your data, we will remove your account and all associated collection data within 30 days.
Your rights (GDPR)
If you are in the EU, you have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, email us at waxtracker@proton.me. We will respond within 30 days.
You may also lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority. In the Netherlands, this is the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.
Changes to this policy
If we make material changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. Continued use of WaxTracker after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
