Privacy

What we collect

When you submit your rate, we collect: work category, specialization, experience level, region, rate type, rate amount, and email address. Email is used solely for duplicate prevention and is never displayed publicly.

How we use your data

Your submission is used to generate anonymized, aggregate benchmark statistics. Only aggregate data (medians, percentiles, distributions across groups) is ever displayed. Individual submissions are never shown, sold, shared with third parties, or used for any purpose other than generating benchmarks.

What we never do

• ✓We never sell individual submission data
• ✓We never share your email with third parties
• ✓We never display individual rate submissions publicly
• ✓We do not run third-party advertising or tracking pixels

API responses

Our API returns only aggregate benchmark data (percentiles, statistics, histograms). Personal information such as email addresses, referral codes, and submission source metadata is stripped from all API responses before they leave the server.

Infrastructure

IndieIndex is hosted on Vercel and uses Supabase (PostgreSQL) for data storage. Both services have their own privacy and security policies. We do not use third-party analytics services that track individual users.
