1. Overview
This Privacy Policy explains what personal data SendChief, a service operated by WILB LLC ("WILB LLC", "SendChief", "we", "us"), collects, why, how we use it, who we share it with, and the rights you have under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and similar laws.
SendChief provides managed email infrastructure — dedicated VPS provisioning, mail server installation, DNS automation, and mailbox management. This policy covers both the marketing website at sendchief.com and the dashboard application where subscribers manage their infrastructure.
2. Data Controller
WILB LLC, doing business as SendChief, is the data controller for personal data collected through the website and the dashboard for account management, billing, and operating the Service.
WILB LLC — 30 N Gould St, STE R, Sheridan, WY 82801, United States
For the mail content that passes through or is stored on your SendChief mail server, you are the data controller and SendChief acts as a data processor on your behalf. A Data Processing Agreement (DPA) consistent with Article 28 GDPR is available on request at support@sendchief.com.
3. What We Collect
Account data
- Name, email address, and authentication credentials (passwords are hashed with industry-standard algorithms).
- Workspace name, workspace membership, and role assignments.
Billing data
- Billing email, company name, billing address, VAT/tax ID where applicable.
- Payment information (card data is handled directly by Stripe; SendChief does not store raw card numbers).
- Invoice and payment history.
Infrastructure metadata
- Domains you register or add to SendChief, servers you provision, mailboxes you create, IP addresses assigned to your servers, DNS records managed on your behalf.
Usage and diagnostic data
- Dashboard usage events (feature usage, errors, provisioning status) captured via PostHog in anonymous mode — no identifying cookies are set by PostHog on the marketing website.
- Server-level logs required for operating the Service (authentication, provisioning steps, error traces).
Mail content
- Messages sent and received through your SendChief mail server are stored on your dedicated VPS. SendChief personnel do not read message content in the normal course of operating the Service. Access is only performed when strictly necessary for support (with your consent) or to comply with legal obligations.

We process personal data under the following GDPR lawful bases:
- Contract (Art. 6(1)(b)) — Processing necessary to provide the Service: account creation, billing, provisioning, operating the mail server.

- Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)) — Tax records, responding to lawful requests from authorities.
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) — Marketing communications where required (newsletter subscriptions, etc.).
