We may share personal data in the following circumstances:
We may share data with trusted third-party vendors who provide services such as:
Hosting and infrastructure
Payment processing
Analytics and monitoring
Professional and legal services
These vendors are contractually required to protect personal data and to use it only for the purposes specified by us.
We use Brevo as our email service provider. By submitting your email address or subscribing to our newsletter/waitlist, you acknowledge that the information you provide will be transferred to Brevo for processing in accordance with their Privacy Policy.
If you choose to connect Spectacl.org with third-party services, we may share data as necessary to enable those integrations. Data shared is limited to what is required to provide the requested functionality.
Spectacl uses Google's favicon service (www.google.com/s2/favicons) to display company logos and favicons in the interface. When a logo is shown for a domain (e.g. a competitor or cited source), your browser makes a request directly to Google's servers to retrieve that image.
This means Google may receive the domain name being looked up and standard browser metadata (IP address, user agent) as part of that request. Spectacl does not share any personally identifiable information with Google through this mechanism — only the domain name of the company being displayed.
Domain-to-logo mappings are cached in Spectacl's database for up to 30 days to minimise the number of requests made to Google's service.
If you have questions about Google's data practices, please refer to Google's Privacy Policy.
We may disclose personal data if required to do so by law, regulation, court order, or governmental request, or where disclosure is necessary to enforce our terms or protect our rights, users, or others.
Spectacl’s servers may be located in the European Union or other jurisdictions. We may also use third-party hosting and infrastructure providers located in different countries.
By using Spectacl.org, you acknowledge and agree that your personal data may be transferred to and stored in countries outside your country of residence. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards to protect your data in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
We assess vendors for suitability, including their data protection and security practices. We ensure that legally binding agreements are in place to protect personal data to standards consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
Where we rely on your consent to Process personal data, you may withdraw that consent at any time.
Please note that withdrawing consent may affect our ability to provide certain services. For example, if you withdraw consent for payment processing data, we may be unable to provide paid services.
You have the right to:
Request access to your personal data
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
Request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal limitations

Where a workspace is canceled or closed, associated data may be permanently purged after a grace period. Spectacl is not liable for data loss following purging or legally mandated deletion.
Spectacl.org may contain links to third-party websites or services. We do not control these third parties and are not responsible for their privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you access.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Significant changes will be communicated via the website or by email where appropriate. Continued use of Spectacl.org after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.
