What we collect when you sign up

• Name and email address. From your Google profile if you sign in with Google, or from the signup form if you register with email and password.
• IP address and approximate location. Recorded once, at signup, from the connection you register over. The location is city-level at best — never a precise position — and is used for security and abuse prevention: spotting fraudulent signups and keeping the free tier usable for everyone.

How location is derived

The lookup happens on sieve's own servers against a local copy of a public geolocation database — your IP address is not sent to any third-party lookup service.

Where it lives, and for how long

Signup details are stored with your account record and used only for the purposes above — we don't sell them or use them for advertising. When you delete your account, your login is removed and your name, email, IP address, and location are deleted from the account record.
