Privacy Policy

This policy explains what the free invoice tool at alderinvoices.com (the "Service") collects, and why. The Service is run by Nivara Technologies Inc., doing business as Alder ("Alder", "we").

Building an invoice without an account

If you use the builder without connecting Stripe, your draft stays in your browser's local storage and is not sent to us. We count page views, builder opens and PDF downloads as daily totals only. Those counts carry no names, emails or other identifiers.

If you leave your email

After you download a PDF you can ask to hear about Alder's AI agents for chasing late payments. If you do, we store the email and business name you enter, where on the site you signed up, and when. Leaving your email is optional and isn't needed to use the tool.

When you connect Stripe

API and MCP invoice tools

When you use the draft, template or direct PDF tools, your invoice inputs are sent to Alder for processing. These public tools do not persist the invoice or PDF, email it, or collect payment. Builder links embed invoice details and should be treated as private. Your AI provider or client may retain tool inputs and outputs under its own policies. Direct PDF responses are marked no-store.

From your Stripe account we store:

• The Stripe account ID, business name, email, country and website.
• When you connected, when you last signed in, and whether you've disconnected.

We don't store your Stripe access token or any card or bank details. Signing in sets one cookie, ig_session. It is signed, lasts 30 days and is used only to keep you signed in. There are no advertising or third-party tracking cookies.

Invoices you publish

A published invoice is stored so its pay link works. That includes what you put on it: your business details and logo, your customer's name, email and addresses, line items, notes and due date. It also includes its payment history (amounts, dates, refunds and disputes). For your customers' data, you are in control and we act on your instructions: we use it only to show the invoice, take payment and keep the balance up to date. Anyone with a pay link can see that invoice, so share it only with the person you're billing.

When your customer pays, their card or bank details go straight to Stripe. We never see or store them. Stripe's privacy policy covers that part.

How Alder uses your information

• To run the Service: sign-in, pay links, balances, overdue status, and the API and MCP server.
• To understand who uses the tool. Alder also builds AI agents that chase unpaid invoices, and we may contact the email you leave with us, or the one on your Stripe account, about them. You can opt out at any time by replying or writing to founders@meetalder.com. If you click "Get help with unpaid invoices" or "Yes, chase my invoices", we will reach out.
• To prevent abuse, and to meet legal obligations.

We don't sell your data, and we don't contact your customers.

Who processes it

• Stripe: payments and account connection.
• Vercel: hosting. Request logs, including IP addresses, are kept for a short time.
• Supabase: the database, in the United States.
• Slack: internal notifications to the Alder team when a business connects, leaves its email or asks for help.
• Attio: Alder's CRM, where we keep the businesses that connect or leave their email.

Keeping and deleting data

We keep a signup email until you ask us to remove it or opt out. We keep your profile and invoices while you use the Service. You can delete unpaid invoices yourself on your dashboard. To delete everything, email founders@meetalder.com from your Stripe account's email address. We'll remove your profile and invoices within 30 days, except records we must keep by law. Disconnecting Stripe stops new payments but doesn't delete your data, so that reconnecting restores it.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete your personal data, and to object to marketing. Email founders@meetalder.com and we'll respond within 30 days. If you are a customer who received an invoice, contact the business that sent it. We'll help them with your request.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the date above. For significant changes, we'll also email connected users.
