What we collect

When you sign in with GitHub we receive your GitHub user ID, login, avatar URL, and email. Private repository access is granted through the sellcodebase GitHub App, limited to repositories you select for the app. We store the installation ID and repository metadata needed to review your submissions. Estimate previews do not save the repo URL, estimate, score, language breakdown, or a submission record with SellCodebase. We store those details only when you choose to submit a repo for review. We also store payout details you provide (PayPal email, Wise handle, or bank info). Product analytics redact repo query parameters and repo-appraisal paths before sending page-view data. Submission, cancellation, and payout events can include repository URLs you submit and operational metadata like visibility, size, estimated lines, payout estimates, submission status, and coarse failure reasons.

What we do with your code

When you submit a repository, we download a snapshot of the referenced commit, run cloc to count qualifying lines, and store the result alongside the encrypted snapshot for review. Cancelled and rejected snapshots are deleted from active storage at the moment of cancellation or rejection — only the submission record (with no code) remains in your dashboard. Snapshots from paid submissions are retained under the license described in the terms. You can request deletion of any other stored snapshot by emailing hello@sellcodebase.com.

What we share

We do not sell your personal information. We share data with processors strictly to operate the Service: Neon (database), Cloudflare R2 (encrypted archive storage), Vercel (hosting and analytics), Resend (transactional email), and our payout providers when you elect to be paid.

Security

GitHub App installation tokens are short-lived and generated only when we need to estimate or process a selected repository. Submitted code snapshots are encrypted before upload to object storage, with per-snapshot data keys. We never publish your code under your name without consent.

Your rights

You can request export or deletion of your account data at any time by emailing hello@sellcodebase.com. Snapshots from paid submissions are excluded from deletion under the license you grant.

Cookies

We use first-party cookies for authentication and Vercel Web Analytics for traffic and product-event measurement. We do not run advertising trackers.
