Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 29, 2026 · Applies to Stripe Money Detective and gothebot.com

The short version: the CSV file you analyze stays on your own computer. The only personal data involved in a purchase is what is needed to process the order and deliver a license key.

1. Data processed inside the application

Stripe Money Detective runs locally on your Mac. The CSV file you choose is parsed and analyzed on your machine, and the investigation report is generated and stored locally.

• Your exported Stripe data is not uploaded to any server.
• The application does not ask for Stripe API keys, passwords, or other Stripe credentials.
• We do not operate a database of your financial data.

2. Data processed when you buy

Purchases are handled by a third-party payment provider. That provider collects the payment information required to complete the transaction. We do not receive or store your card details.

To issue and deliver a license, we process the email address and the order reference associated with the purchase. The license key itself contains the email address and order reference, and is sent to the email address used at checkout.

3. License storage

Once activated, the license key is stored locally on your Mac so the complete investigation results remain unlocked in the application.

4. Email delivery

The license key is delivered by email through an email delivery service. That service processes the recipient address and message content for the purpose of sending the license email.

5. This website

gothebot.com is a static website. As of the “last updated” date above, it does not set cookies for analytics and does not load third-party analytics or tracking scripts. It loads the Google AdSense site-association script on the homepage and guide pages (see section 6); that script may set advertising cookies. No ad units or Auto ads are enabled, so no ad creatives are displayed.

6. Advertising and Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense on gothebot.com. The AdSense site-association script is currently loaded on the homepage and guide pages. This script may set advertising cookies. No ad units or Auto ads are enabled, so no ad creatives are displayed yet. The disclosures below describe how advertising will work once ad units are turned on.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings, or by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices to opt out of personalized ads from participating third-party vendors.

For more information about how Google uses information from sites that show its ads, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and Google's Advertising privacy & security page.

Consent in the EEA, United Kingdom and Switzerland. For visitors in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, we will use Google's certified consent management platform (CMP) provided in AdSense Privacy & messaging. This asks for consent before storing advertising cookies or using personal data for ad personalisation, where required by the EU ePrivacy Directive and GDPR.

Separation from the desktop app. The advertising described in this section applies only to this website. Stripe Money Detective (the macOS app) does not serve ads and does not load any advertising code; it analyzes your Stripe CSV locally on your Mac and does not upload it anywhere (see section 1).

7. What we do not do

• We do not sell or share the order data described above.
• We do not use your Stripe data for advertising or profiling.
• We do not access your Stripe account.

8. Retention

Order and license records are kept for as long as needed to support the license you purchased and to handle support and refund requests.

9. Your requests

To ask what data is associated with your purchase, or to request a correction or deletion, use the contact page.

10. Changes

This policy may be updated as the product and purchasing setup change. The “last updated” date above reflects the current version.

11. Not affiliated with Stripe

Stripe is a trademark of Stripe, Inc. GoTheBot and Stripe Money Detective are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Stripe, Inc.
