Who we are

Typefolio is a personal cloud font library with sync for web and desktop. These pages are published by Typefolio, operated from the United Kingdom. Questions: hello@typefolio.app.

The product app lives at app.typefolio.app. The marketing site lives at typefolio.app. Desktop and companion apps talk to the product app.

What we collect

Account: name, email, password hash or Google sign-in identifiers, and optional passkeys. We send verification, password reset, and transactional mail to that address.

Library: font files you upload (.ttf, .otf, .woff, .woff2), filenames, family metadata, collections, favourites, and share links you create.

Devices: device names and sync activity so we can show which machines are connected and enforce plan limits.

Billing: Polar (our merchant of record) processes cards and tax. We store Polar customer and subscription identifiers, plan status, and usage events we send to Polar for metering — not your full card number.

Technical: IP address, user agent, and similar logs from hosting (Vercel) as needed to run and secure the service.

Why we use it

To provide the service: authenticate you, store your library, sync and install fonts on devices you connect, and bill the plan you choose.

To communicate about the account: email verification, security, receipts via Polar, and service notices. We do not sell your personal data.

Lawful bases under UK GDPR are contract (providing Typefolio), legitimate interests (security, product reliability), and legal obligation (tax records Polar keeps as merchant of record).

Processors

Vercel hosts the sites and serverless APIs. Neon stores application data in Postgres. Object storage (Vercel Blob) holds font files and desktop installers. Resend sends email. Polar handles checkout, VAT/GST where applicable, invoices, and the customer portal. Google only if you choose Google sign-in.

Retention and your rights

We keep account and library data while the account exists. You can delete your account in the product app; we then cancel Polar billing where we can, delete libraries and files we store, and remove profile rows we control. Backups and processor logs may lag for a short period.

You may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or portability, and you may complain to the ICO in the UK. Email hello@typefolio.app.

Fonts stay yours. We do not claim ownership of typefaces you upload. We only process them to provide sync and install.

Children and international transfers

Typefolio is not directed at children under 16. Processors may store data in the US or EU. We rely on their standard contractual clauses or equivalent safeguards.
