Send-to-me

Privacy policy

This is the privacy policy for Send-to-me as run at stm.smkd.uk.

Summary

What we collect, and why

When you sign in, we record:

When you send a link or note through Send-to-me, we receive the content in process memory for as long as it takes to forward it to Postmark. The content is not written to disk, not stored in our database, and not written to logs. Once the send completes (or fails), the content is gone from our side.

We do not collect:

Where your content goes

The path from you to your inbox is multi-hop:

  1. You to us. Over HTTPS to stm.smkd.uk. The content lives only in our process memory during the request.
  2. Us to Postmark. Over HTTPS to Postmark's API. We hand over the content for delivery.
  3. Postmark to your email provider. Standard email delivery (SMTP).
  4. Your email provider to your inbox. As stored email, subject to that provider's retention.

Every system in this list sees your content during delivery. None of them can be removed without removing email itself.

What Postmark sees and retains

Postmark sees the content of each message during delivery, briefly. They retain delivery metadata (timestamps, recipient address, delivery status, bounce records) indefinitely. We have no mechanism to remove that metadata.

We configure Postmark's Retention Add-on to its minimum (7-day retention) with content suppression in the Activity feed where available, so message bodies are not retained long-term in Postmark's systems.

What your email provider sees and retains

Your email provider stores everything you send to yourself as ordinary email, with whatever retention and privacy properties that provider applies. Your relationship with them is outside the scope of this service.

Your rights

If you are in the UK or EU, you have rights under UK GDPR and EU GDPR including access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the address below.

In practice, the data we hold is small: your email address and any active sessions. Erasure is therefore straightforward.

Children

Send-to-me is not directed at children and is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
