GDPR

How the EU and UK GDPR apply to Candor UI, and how to use your rights. This is a statement of how Candor works, not legal advice. Last updated 8 November 2026.

Who is responsible

Methodic LLC (Loudoun County, Virginia, United States) is the controller of the personal data it holds about buyers and about people who use the registry, as set out in Data processing. Contact: info@themethodic.com. We are not established in the EU or the UK.

What we hold, and why

• Buyers: name, email and what you bought. To give you a licence, support you and keep the licence honest. We receive it from Polar, which sells the licence.
• Registry and site visitors: IP address, item and time. Held by our host, Vercel, in its server logs, to run and secure the service.
• Your licence key. Checked with Polar when you install or update a paid item, or run candor-ui verify, list --installed, key or doctor. We don't store or log it.

We use this data for those purposes only. We don't sell it, share it for anyone else's marketing, or use it for profiling or automated decisions about you. The site has no analytics and no advertising; it sets one cookie, methodic-theme, only when you pick light or dark, and the theme builder keeps your work in your own browser. See Privacy.

What we don't hold

Candor UI's components run in your application and send nothing to us, so we don't receive your users' personal data and we aren't your processor. If you build a product with Candor, GDPR obligations for your users' data are yours, and nothing in the kit changes them.

Who else handles it

• Polar, the seller of record, handles payment, tax and refunds and keeps its own records, under its privacy policy and its Data Processing Addendum. Its sub-processors are listed on its site.
• Vercel hosts the site, the registry and the docs MCP server.

We are in the United States, so using the registry from the EU or the UK sends your request there. Polar and Vercel describe how they handle transfers in their own terms; we don't restate theirs.

Your rights

You can ask us to tell you what we hold about you, correct it, delete it, restrict or stop our use of it, or give you a copy of it in a usable format. Email info@themethodic.com from the address you bought with, and say what you want. What Polar holds for payment, tax and refund purposes is Polar's to keep, and you can ask Polar about it directly.

If you think we have handled your data wrongly, you can complain to your data protection authority, and we would like the chance to put it right first.
