Privacy Policy

Last updated 26 October 2026

In short: your creative files never leave your computer. We only handle the personal data needed to sell and support paid plans, and that is mostly held by our reseller, Paddle. We do not use advertising or analytics trackers.

1. Who is responsible

Gatecheck is made and operated by Muhammad Talal Asad Khan, a sole proprietor, of House 14, Street 81, G13/1, Islamabad, Pakistan, who is the data controller for the personal data described here. Paddle.com, our reseller and Merchant of Record, is a separate controller for the data it collects when you buy. Contact us at support@getgatecheck.com with any privacy question or request.

2. Your files

Gatecheck checks images, video and HTML5 files entirely inside your web browser. Files you drop or choose are not uploaded to our servers, and we have no access to their contents. When you close or reload the tab, they are gone.

3. Data we process

Purchase and billing data. When you subscribe, Paddle collects your name, email address, billing country or address and payment details. We receive your email address, billing country, subscription status and payment history from Paddle. We never receive your full card number.

License key. Your license key contains an internal Paddle customer and subscription reference. It is stored in your browser so your plan stays unlocked, and is sent to our server to check that your subscription is active.

Settings. Your delivery plan, custom specs, naming template, client and campaign names, and the agency name and logo you add to reports are stored in your browser's local storage. They are not sent to us.

Support emails. If you email us, we keep the correspondence to answer you and handle your request.

Technical data. Our hosting provider, Cloudflare, processes technical information such as IP addresses to deliver and secure the website.

4. Why we use it and our legal basis

We do not sell your personal data and we do not use it for advertising.

5. Service providers

Pages load only from getgatecheck.com, including fonts, except the checkout page, which loads Paddle's checkout from paddle.com. Some providers process data outside the UK and Pakistan, using safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or equivalent standard contractual clauses.

6. Cookies and local storage

We do not use advertising or analytics cookies. The site stores your settings and license key in your browser's local storage so the tool works as expected. Paddle may set its own cookies on its checkout and billing pages to process payments and prevent fraud.

7. How long we keep data

Billing records are kept for as long as required for tax and accounting purposes, generally six years after the end of the financial year they relate to. Support emails are kept for up to two years after your last contact. Data stored in your browser stays there until you clear it or choose Remove from this browser in your plan.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or export your personal data, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. To make a request, email support@getgatecheck.com. If you are unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk or to your local data protection authority.

9. Changes

We will update this policy if our practices change. The date at the top shows when it was last updated.
