Privacy

Stumpage, LLC runs Stumpage. This page is written to be read; if anything here is unclear, write to hello@stumpage.net and ask.

What Stumpage collects

Only what running the record needs:

• Your name and email address, given when you ask for access. The address is how you sign in and how Stumpage writes to you.
• A hash of your password, never the password itself. Nobody at Stumpage can read it, and it cannot be turned back into what you typed.
• Your sign-in sessions: which devices are signed in, and when. This is what enforces the two-device limit in the terms.
• A count of requests per day, per account. A number, not a list of what you looked at.
• Your alert watches: the DNR offices and species you asked to hear about, and the cadence.
• Your saved workspaces and buying territories: the names, public-record links, geographic selections and notes you choose to save. These are attached to your account and are not shared with other subscribers.
• Contributed sales, if you are a contributor: the sale figures you enter or send us, and the credential you gave us.

Card and bank details are entered directly in Stripe and are not stored by Stumpage. Stripe processes payments, annual renewals, receipts and billing management under its own privacy terms. Stumpage stores the customer and subscription identifiers, paid amount and access period, renewal status, and your agreement to recurring billing.

Why, and how long it is kept

Saved workspaces keep your research available when you return. Deleting a workspace removes its saved views and notes; closing your account removes all of your workspaces.

Your name, address, password hash, sign-in sessions, request counts and alert watches exist to run your account, and are kept for as long as the account is open.

Closing the account removes your name, your email address, your password and your alert watches, and ends every sign-in session. The sessions themselves stay as a dated record that they were ended. The per-day request counts stay too, as numbers on an account with no name attached to it; they say how much the record was read, never what was read.

Payment and billing-notification records, including the billing email address and provider receipt identifiers, are retained separately for payment history, accounting and resolving payment questions. Closing your account stops future subscription charges; it does not erase completed payment records held by Stumpage or Stripe.

Contributed sale records are retained after account closure under the licence described in the terms of service. They are no longer associated with your name. The credential from an application is kept while the account is open, as the basis for the decision.

Who sees it

The owner of Stumpage, LLC uses account and individual submission details to operate and review the service. Hosting and email providers process the information needed to provide those services. Stumpage does not sell or rent your information or use it for advertising. Google processes the limited analytics described below, unless you turn it off.

With a separate publication agreement for each sale, subscribers may see regional private-sale results, including a result based on one sale. The sale count and pricing basis are shown. Contributor names, property addresses and precise locations are not published. Broad geography does not guarantee anonymity: someone with outside knowledge may recognize a transaction. Earlier submissions stay out of these results unless the contributor explicitly opts in. The regional publication agreement is explained in the dictionary.

Individual sale summaries require an additional, explicit permission for that sale. Contributors see the exact Pro-facing preview before choosing to share its recorded payment, composition, native measurements and optional context. We record the agreeing contributor, time, agreement version and approved content revision. Detail sharing can be withdrawn independently of regional permission and contributor benefits. Visible corrections require a new preview and approval. Private notes and correction proposals are excluded from subscriber summaries.

Analytics

Stumpage uses Google Analytics to measure how the site is used: page visits, sign-ups, starting checkout, clicks on links that email Stumpage, and a small set of research actions such as saving a view. It is on unless you turn it off in Analytics preferences, in the footer or below. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, it starts off. Turning it off does not limit your access to anything.

Google uses first-party analytics cookies to recognize a returning browser. Google receives technical information such as your IP address and browser information when your browser connects to it.

Stumpage sends general page names and predefined action labels. It does not send your name, email, password, account identifiers, link tokens, search text, workspace names, contributed sale figures or parcel coordinates. Page addresses and titles sent for measurement exclude personal details and research filters. The first page of a visit can carry a link’s campaign tags, such as which email or post the link came from; tags that could hold personal details are dropped. Referrers are limited to recognized search-engine origins or the preceding general Stumpage page.

Advertising personalization, Google Signals and remarketing are disabled in this integration. Stumpage does not use analytics for advertising. Google describes its processing in its information for visitors to sites that use Google services.

Turning analytics off is saved on this browser for two years; turning it back on, for 180 days. Analytics cookies are configured to expire within 180 days without extending on every visit. Turning it off stops future collection and removes Stumpage analytics cookies; it does not automatically erase earlier reports held by Google. Google keeps detailed analytics data for 14 months. Contact Stumpage about earlier analytics data or a removal request.

Email

New contributed sales are queued for an operational email to the owner, including the contributor’s contact details and the saved sale lines. These details are never published as individual sales. The queued copy is removed after the mail provider accepts it, or if the sale is removed or the account closes before dispatch. A correction can arrive after the original submission was queued; the owner checks the current record during review. Copies already sent to the owner’s mailbox are handled separately when you request removal.

Stumpage sends mail through Postmark, which delivers the message and keeps a delivery record. The mail Stumpage sends is about your account: sign-in and password links, the quarterly letter and the digests you asked for, and answers to what you write in. There is no marketing list to leave.

Removing your data

You can close your account from your account page. If you cannot reach that page or need help closing the account, write to hello@stumpage.net. Closing it removes your name, your email address, your password and your alert watches, ends every sign-in session, and ends your access at once. Sales you contributed stay on the record without your name, under the licence in the terms.
