Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 16, 2026
Redrive is made and operated by Ilan Berlinbluv, an independent software developer based in Israel. This policy covers the redrive.dev website, the Redrive software, and the licensing service behind paid subscriptions. Reach us any time at [email protected].
The short version
- Redrive never sees your broker data. Not queue names, not message contents, not connection credentials. The software runs on your machines and talks only to your brokers; none of that traffic touches us.
- The website sets no cookies. Traffic is counted with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is cookieless and does not track you.
- A free install sends us nothing beyond an optional update check.
- A licensed install sends the minimum needed to validate the license, listed in full below.
- Usage statistics are a separate opt-in, anonymous and off by default.
- We send transactional email only, never marketing without consent.
The website
redrive.dev is a static site hosted on Cloudflare Pages. It sets no cookies. We count traffic with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is built to measure without tracking: no cookies, no fingerprinting, no cross-site tracking. What we see is aggregate, page views and referrers and countries, never an individual visitor. Cloudflare, as the hosting provider, also processes request metadata such as IP addresses to serve and protect the site. Cloudflare's own practices are described in the Cloudflare privacy policy.
Downloads and the update check
Release binaries are served from Cloudflare-hosted storage; downloading one is an ordinary web request with no account and no identifiers. A running install periodically fetches a small static version file to check whether a newer release exists. That request carries no identifiers and creates no record of your install. Setting REDRIVE_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1 turns it off entirely.
When you buy a subscription
Orders are processed by Paddle.com as merchant of record. Paddle collects your payment details and billing information; we never see your card number. Paddle's handling of that data is described in the Paddle privacy policy, and for the payment transaction itself Paddle is the data controller; requests about payment data go to Paddle.
From Paddle we receive what we need to create and manage your license: your name, email address, country, and the subscription's state. We use that to deliver your license key, run the license page, and keep your subscription working. Nothing else. We process this data because it's necessary to perform our contract with you (delivering, validating, and supporting your license) and to meet legal obligations like tax record-keeping.
What a licensed install sends
Paid features are validated against our licensing service. A licensed install transmits, in full: the license key (once, at activation), a randomly generated instance ID and token (not a hardware fingerprint; a coin flip, not a serial number), the app version, the operating system, and an install label that defaults to the machine name and can be edited to anything. After activation, a daily heartbeat carries the token and version so the license page can show which installs are alive.
That list is exhaustive. No broker data, no queue names, no message contents, no credentials, and no usage statistics unless you turn them on, as described next. Free installs send nothing beyond the update check described above.
Usage statistics, if you turn them on
Redrive can send anonymous usage statistics: counts of which features get used, so we can tell what earns its place in the tool. This is off by default, for free and paid installs alike, and nothing is sent unless you switch it on. What it sends never includes broker data, queue names, message contents, credentials, or anything that identifies you; the exact list is shown in the app next to the setting. Switching it off stops it immediately.
We send transactional email only: your license key after purchase, and sign-in links for the license page. There is no newsletter attached to buying Redrive, and we will never add you to one without asking separately.
Where data lives, and for how long
We store licensing data in a managed database on Cloudflare-hosted infrastructure, which may process it in data centers outside your country under the safeguards in our providers' data processing agreements. We keep billing and license records while your subscription is active and afterwards for as long as tax and bookkeeping law requires (seven years in Israel). We prune deactivated and long-silent installs. License-page sign-in links expire within minutes, and we don't retain them.
Your rights
You can ask us to access, correct, export, or delete the personal data we hold about you by writing to [email protected]. Deleting the data behind an active subscription ends the subscription, since we cannot license an install we know nothing about. We delete promptly and refund the unused part of the period. Depending on where you live you may also have the right to complain to a data-protection authority.
Children
Redrive is a professional developer tool, not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 16.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy; the date above always reflects the current version. If a change is material (collecting something new, sharing with someone new), we announce it on this page before it takes effect.
