Privacy Policy

Brand My Mac is run by Vincent, operating as Vynse (“I”, “me”), a sole trader based in France. Contact: contact@vynse.dev. I am the data controller for everything described here.

• Email address — to confirm your bid, tell you if someone outbids you, and contact you if you win. This is the only reason it is required.
• Brand name, logo file and website — they are what gets published on the lid and on this page if your bid is approved.
• Bid amount and time — the auction cannot work without them, and they are shown publicly.
• An identifier for your bids — a random value given to you once your first deposit clears, so a later bid on the same spot is recognised as yours and only the difference is charged. It is not an account and holds nothing about you.
• A payment reference — the identifiers Stripe returns for your deposit, so it can be refunded or set against your invoice. Card numbers never reach this site; they are entered on Stripe’s own page.

I do not ask for your name, address or phone number, and there is no account to create — paying the deposit is what identifies a bid.

Once a bid is approved, the brand name, logo, website and amount appear on the site — that is the point of the auction. Your email address is never published and is never shared with other bidders.

Bids awaiting approval are not shown to anyone but me.

This site sets no cookies. Visitor numbers come from DataFast in its cookieless mode: it records your IP address, your browser’s user-agent and the page you landed on, and turns them into a pseudonymous identifier that rotates roughly every 24 hours. There is no advertising network, no cross-site tracking, and no profile of you.

The site also keeps a few things in your own browser, which never reach a server:

• your bidding details, so you do not have to retype them to bid again;
• a flag noting your visit was already counted this session.

The page also shows a lifetime view count and how many people are browsing right now. Both are anonymous totals — no profile, no identifier, nothing tied to you.

• Supabase — hosts the database and the logo files.
• Resend — sends the bid and outbid emails.
• Stripe — takes and refunds deposits, and holds the card details this site never sees.
• Vercel — hosts the site and keeps standard server logs.
• DataFast — counts visits, without cookies.

I do not sell your data, and I do not use it for anything other than running this auction.

Bid records stay for as long as the sticker is on the lid, since they are the record of who bought what. If your bid is rejected or you ask me to delete it, it and the uploaded logo go within 30 days.

Records of money — deposits, refunds, invoices — are kept for as long as French accounting law requires, whatever you ask, because that obligation is not mine to waive.

Under the GDPR you can ask for a copy of your data, correct it, or have it deleted. Email contact@vynse.dev and I will handle it within a month. You may also complain to the CNIL if you are not satisfied.

If this policy changes in a way that affects you, I will email everyone holding a spot. The date at the top always shows the current version.
