Companies that handle your data for us

These are the only outside services our code sends personal information to:

  • Cloudflare hosts the site, runs our server code, and stores our database and uploaded files. It also routes email sent to our addresses.
  • Clerk runs sign-in and holds your account’s email, name and sign-in method.
  • Stripe handles card payments, saved cards for price locks, and Pro membership billing. Your card number goes straight to Stripe; we never see or store it.
  • Resend delivers our emails, so it receives your email address and the message.
  • Anthropic generates the chat assistant’s replies, so it receives what you type into the chat.

Our price feeds (gold-api.com, Swissquote and Monument Metals) are called from our server and receive no information about you. Fonts are served from our own site, not Google.

Cookies and browser storage

We use no advertising or analytics cookies, so there’s nothing optional to accept or decline. What we do use is needed for the site to work:

  • Clerk sets sign-in cookies while you’re signed in.
  • Cloudflare may set security cookies that tell people from bots.
  • Stripe sets fraud-prevention cookies, only once you open card checkout.
  • Your browser stores your cart, sell cart, the last prices you saw and whether you paused the price ticker. That data stays on your device.

When we share it

Only with the companies above, doing work for us, and when the law requires it, such as the reporting and record-keeping rules that apply to precious metals dealers. We don’t sell or rent personal information, and we don’t share it for advertising.

How long we keep it

We keep order and sell-request records, including ID images, for as long as dealer record-keeping and tax rules require. We keep contact messages and marketing records until you ask us to delete them, except that we keep the fact that you unsubscribed, so we never email you again by mistake.

Your choices

  • Marketing: every marketing email has an unsubscribe link that works immediately. For texts, reply STOP.
  • See, correct or delete your data: contact us or email [email protected]. We’ll answer within 30 days. We may have to keep records the law requires.
  • Pro membership: cancel on your account page.

Age

Element 79/47 is only for adults. You must be 18 or older to create an account, buy, sell or contact us. We don’t knowingly collect information from anyone under 18, and we delete it if we find we have.
