Sight Tape Gen ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website www.sighttape.nz. This page explains what information we collect when you use our site and how we use it.
Information We Collect
We do not require you to create an account or provide personal information to use the sight tape generator. The bow specs and arrow speed values you enter are processed locally in your browser and are not sent to or stored on our servers.
We automatically collect limited usage data through third-party analytics and advertising services, including:

Local Storage
Sight Tape Gen uses your browser's localStorage to save certain data on your device, including:
- Saved bow setups (up to 8 configurations)
- Paid feature unlock status (e.g., long-range tape access)
This data never leaves your device and is not accessible by us. It is deleted if you clear your browser's site data. We are unable to recover this data if it is lost.

Certain paid features are processed through Stripe, a third-party payment processor. When you make a purchase, you are redirected to Stripe's secure checkout. We do not receive or store your payment card details. Stripe may collect and process personal information (including name, email, and payment details) according to its own Privacy Policy. After a successful payment, a timestamped unlock token is stored in your browser's localStorage to activate the paid feature.
