Data and privacy

We take privacy seriously and collect only what's necessary to run the service. Here's a summary of how we handle your data. For full details, see our Privacy Policy.

What data we store

  • Your account information: name, email address, business name, and address.
  • Your business logo, if uploaded.
  • Customer records you create: names, email addresses, billing addresses, and notes.
  • Invoice data: line items, amounts, dates, statuses, and payment link view counts.
  • Your Stripe API key and webhook secret (encrypted at rest — see below).

How your Stripe keys are protected

Your Stripe API key and webhook signing secret are encrypted using AES-256-GCM before being stored in our database. We never store them in plain text. The keys are only decrypted in memory at the moment they're needed to process a payment — and are never logged or transmitted elsewhere.

No tracking or analytics

We don't use cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics tools on the marketing site or in the application. We don't sell your data or share it with advertisers. The only client-side data we store is your session token in local storage, which is cleared when you sign out.

Payment link views

When a customer opens an invoice payment link, we record that the link was viewed (a view count and timestamp). We do not record IP addresses, device information, or any identifying information about who opened the link.

Third-party services

We use a small number of trusted third-party services to run Parsley Pay:

  • Stripe — for processing subscription and invoice payments.
  • Mailgun (EU infrastructure) — for sending transactional emails including magic links, invoice delivery, and payment notifications.
  • Gotenberg — a self-hosted PDF generation service. Invoice data is processed internally and not shared externally.

Deleting your data

If you'd like your account and all associated data deleted, email us at support@parsleypay.com. We'll process the request promptly. If you cancel your subscription, your data is retained for 30 days and then permanently deleted.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law, you have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal data we hold about you. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@parsleypay.com.
