LintelShort version: Lintel stores your announcements, settings and plan/trial record in private app collections in your Wix site. The app's API runs on Cloudflare Workers and may process those records briefly in memory while serving requests; it does not use a separate app-owned persistent database. We do not collect names, emails or accounts from site visitors. Paid plans are checked out through Wix. When you open pricing for an installed site, a signed Wix app-instance token and your selected plan are briefly processed by our Vercel-hosted website service so it can confirm the site's plan and request a Wix checkout link. That service does not store your announcements, settings, payment details or access tokens.
Who we are
Lintel is built and operated by Folner ("we", "us"). The dashboard is presented inside Wix, and app records are stored in private Wix Data collections on your site. Lintel's server-side app routes run on Cloudflare Workers; requests may include your Wix app context and the content needed to run the dashboard or bar. The public pricing page and checkout-link service run on Vercel and handle only the signed Wix app-instance token, selected plan and checkout information described below. Cloudflare and Vercel may process network and operational metadata to run and secure their services; their provider-side processing and retention follow their service terms and settings. The app adds no third-party advertising trackers. Wix handles app billing and checkout. The providers' handling of their services is described in the Wix Privacy Policy, Cloudflare Privacy Policy and Vercel Privacy Notice.
Data stored in your site
When you use the dashboard, Lintel saves the following in your site's Wix Data, in collections owned by the app:
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Your announcements: text, emoji, badge, button label and link, schedule, repeats, countdown, pages, devices, order and split test labels | To show the right message on your site at the right time |
| Bar settings: position, size, theme, colors, fonts, motion and close button behavior | To draw the bar the way you designed it |
| One plan and trial record for your site: when your 3-day free trial started, your last confirmed plan and, if bought, your Lifetime purchase date | To give you the features you are entitled to |
These collections are private to your site. Visitors cannot read them directly. Your browser may keep an unsaved announcement draft in local storage for up to 7 days, scoped to your Wix site; the dashboard removes an expired draft when it checks for recovery. The dashboard also caches recent announcements and settings in local storage for up to 4 hours and a plan snapshot for up to 15 minutes, scoped to your Wix site and dashboard account. If local storage is unavailable for these snapshots, the dashboard uses session storage instead. Expired entries are removed the next time the dashboard checks its cache. This lets the dashboard show recent information while it refreshes from Wix. These browser copies stay in your browser and are not sent to Folner. The collections themselves are stored in your Wix site. The live bar receives only a filtered public payload: the published announcements and settings it needs for the page being viewed, never drafts, future messages or your notes.
Visitor data
- Lintel does not ask visitors for, or collect, names, email addresses, accounts, payment details or any other information that identifies them.
- Browser storage and consent: Lintel follows the functional and analytics choices in Wix's visitor consent policy. If Wix's consent policy is unavailable, both choices are treated as denied. Functional consent controls the local copy of the last bar content (keys starting
wix-infobar-cache) and saved dismissals (wix-infobar-dismissed); analytics consent controls the random visitor number used to keep a visitor on the same message version in a split test (wix-infobar-vid) and generic button-click reporting. The random number is kept in the visitor's browser while a split test is running and is refreshed after 30 days the next time the widget runs. A cached copy of the last bar content is kept for up to 24 hours. A saved dismissal is kept for the duration chosen in the app (1 to 365 days). Expired cache and dismissal entries are removed the next time the widget reads them, so a key may remain longer if the site is not visited again. Denying or withdrawing a consent category clears Lintel's related browser-storage keys. These browser values are not sent to Folner. - Button clicks: when analytics consent is granted, Lintel reports a generic click event to Wix Analytics. The event does not include announcement text, message IDs, split-test variants or button destinations. Wix and analytics tools connected by the site owner may process events according to their settings.
- Lintel sets no cookies of its own and uses no advertising or tracking pixels.
Dashboard usage
When you open the Lintel dashboard, the app sends Wix an app-usage event named APP_DASHBOARD_LOADED. After a successful announcement save, it sends an event named PRIMARY_ACTION_PERFORMED. The event payload contains only the event name; Lintel does not add announcement content, visitor identifiers, or site/user details as event properties. Wix processes the event through its app analytics service and may associate it with app or account context for reporting.
Plan and billing
Paid plans are sold and billed by Wix. For the custom pricing page, Wix sends a signed app-instance token. Our server sends that token to Wix for validation, uses the confirmed instance to read the current plan, and asks Wix for a checkout URL for the selected offer. The short-lived Wix access token is used only server-side and is not persisted by our code. Wix processes the payment; Folner does not receive or store card details.
What we never do
- Sell, rent or share your data or your visitors' data.
- Use your data for advertising or to train AI models.
- Send announcement content or bar settings to the external pricing service.
- Access your data except when you ask us to help with a support request.
Retention and deletion
- Your announcements and settings are kept for as long as the app is installed, so your work is never lost. You can delete any announcement at any time, and export everything to a file first.
- When the 3-day trial or a paid plan ends without an active paid plan, nothing is deleted. Lintel stops showing the bar and pauses changes, and everything is kept for when you choose Pro or Lifetime.
- When you uninstall Lintel, the bar stops showing on your site. To request removal of any remaining Lintel data from your site, email privacy@folner.com.
- Visitors can clear what the bar keeps in their browser at any time by clearing site data in their browser.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, including under the GDPR, UK GDPR, the CCPA and India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, you may ask to access, correct, export or erase data. Your announcements live in your own site, so you can view, export or delete them from your Wix dashboard at any time. For other privacy requests, email privacy@folner.com.
Security
Lintel's server-side app routes run on Cloudflare Workers and use Wix's APIs to validate app context and read or change the app's private Wix Data collections. The app may hold a short-lived in-memory cache while serving requests; it has no separate app-owned persistent database. Wix states that its platform encrypts Wix user data in transit and at rest. The custom pricing page and checkout-link service run on Vercel and handle the Wix-signed instance token, selected plan, current-plan response and Wix checkout URL needed for billing. They validate the token with Wix before acting; our code does not persist the signed instance token, access tokens, payment details or site content in a separate database. Wix, Cloudflare and Vercel communicate with the service over HTTPS. Lintel does not add application-level encryption to dashboard snapshots, unsaved drafts or visitor browser storage. These local copies are scoped and short-lived as described above and rely on the browser and device's own protections. The app's collections can only be read or changed through its privileged routes, and bar content is checked and escaped before it reaches a visitor.
