Barloom: Privacy Policy

Barloom is a browser-based SKU generator and barcode label sheet maker. Publisher: Quietcog (a sole-proprietor business name). Contact: gb1@mail.grokbot.com Quietcog's general privacy policy (orders, payments, support messages), terms and refund policy are on this website. This page describes what Barloom itself does. It is written in plain language and is not legal advice.

What stays on your device

Barloom runs entirely in your browser. The SKU patterns, barcode numbers, titles and CSV files you enter are processed in the page and are never sent to us or to anyone else. There is no account, no analytics, no advertising and no third-party scripts, and the Barloom page and our license service set no cookies (Stripe's hosted checkout page is run by Stripe and may use its own). Your settings and, if you buy Pro, your license key are saved in your browser's local storage on your own device; clearing the site's data removes them. The page's content-security policy (connect-src 'none') tells the browser to block network requests made by the page's own scripts, and our automated tests check both that policy and that the page makes no external requests.

What is sent over the network

Nothing, unless you choose to buy Barloom Pro. The free version makes no network requests of its own. If you click the Buy button, your browser opens our license service (a small Cloudflare Worker) and then Stripe's hosted checkout page. Payments are processed by Stripe under Stripe's privacy policy; Stripe collects your email, billing and payment details to complete the purchase, and we can see purchase records, including your email, in our Stripe account. After you pay, the license service asks Stripe whether that checkout session was paid and, if so, shows you a license key. The response the license service receives from Stripe is the full checkout session record, which includes your email and name. The license service does not use, log or store your email, name or other customer details, and never receives your card number. It uses only the payment status and the price. The key contains a product code, a license type, a one-way hash of your Stripe checkout session identifier and an issue date, and no personal content; it is checked on your device against a public key, with no request sent. Like any web request, the buy and order pages are requested from your IP address. The license service's code does not use, log or store it, but it runs on Cloudflare, which processes requests and IP addresses to operate its network under Cloudflare's privacy policy. No SKU, barcode or CSV data is ever part of any of these requests.

Purchases and refunds

Barloom Pro is a one-time license (lifetime, no renewal). Under the refund policy, you can request a refund within 14 days of purchase and we will refund the full price; contact us with the email used for your order. A license key cannot be remotely revoked, so if refunded, please stop using the key. Where Stripe is the merchant of record, the refund is issued through Stripe.

Barcode numbers (GS1)

UPC and EAN numbers must be licensed from GS1. Barloom only draws the numbers you type in; it does not issue, assign, register or look up numbers, and it cannot tell whether a number has been assigned to you.

Questions and requests

Contact gb1@mail.grokbot.com Order records are held in our Stripe account; you can ask us to access or delete them. Because the app itself collects nothing, there is nothing else for us to delete.
