Privacy Policy

Last updated: 25 April 2026

1. Who we are

SendDeck is operated by Riverforge Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales (Companies House number 16827982), whose registered office is at 3rd Floor, 86–90 Paul Street, London, EC2A 4NE.

Riverforge Ltd is the data controller for all personal data collected through this website (senddeck.io) and the SendDeck application (app.senddeck.io).

For any privacy-related enquiries, please contact us at [email protected].

2. What data we collect and why

We collect data in two contexts: (a) data you give us when you create an account, and (b) data automatically collected when someone views a document shared through SendDeck.

2a. Registered users (account holders)

Data Purpose Legal basis

2b. Document viewers (anonymous visitors to public portfolio links)

When someone visits a document shared via a SendDeck link (e.g. senddeck.io/p/abc123), we automatically collect the following data in order to provide the document owner with engagement analytics:

Data Purpose Legal basis
Hashed IP address (one-way hash; we cannot reverse it to your IP) Counting unique visitors; fraud and abuse prevention Legitimate interests
User agent string (browser and device type) Reporting device type (desktop / mobile / tablet) to the document owner Legitimate interests
Referrer URL Showing the document owner where traffic came from Legitimate interests
Slide engagement events (which slides were viewed, time spent per slide, scroll depth) Core analytics service — telling the document owner how their document is being read Legitimate interests
Visitor token (a random identifier stored in a browser cookie, valid for 12 months) Identifying returning visitors so the document owner is not notified of the same visitor multiple times Legitimate interests
Session token (a random identifier stored in a browser cookie, valid for 2 hours) Maintaining the analytics session for a single document-viewing session Strictly necessary for the service

Important note on viewer data: We do not collect your name or email address when you view a document. We cannot identify you as a specific individual from the data above unless the document owner has shared your identity with us separately (for example, by telling us they sent the link to you).

2c. Marketing website visitors

On the SendDeck marketing website (senddeck.io), we use the following third-party analytics and advertising tools. These tools may set their own cookies and collect your IP address and browsing behaviour. We use them to understand how visitors find and use our website and to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.

These tools are only active on the marketing website and the logged-in application. They are not loaded on document viewer pages (senddeck.io/p/…). The legal basis for their use is your consent, collected via our cookie consent mechanism when you first visit the marketing site. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time by clicking "Cookie settings" in the footer.

2d. Contact form

If you submit our contact form, we collect your name, email address, company name (optional), and your message. We use this solely to respond to your enquiry. Legal basis: legitimate interests.
