Your Data Stays On Your Server
Self-hosted means no third-party data sharing. No platform tracking. Complete data sovereignty.
Why Privacy Matters for E-Commerce
Your customers trust you with their data. Here's how Spwig helps you keep that trust.
No Third-Party Data Sharing
Customer data — names, emails, addresses, purchase history — never leaves your server. No platform analytics on your customers.
Data Sovereignty
Store data in the jurisdiction of your choice. Run servers in the EU, Asia, or anywhere your regulations require.
No Platform Tracking
No tracking pixels, no third-party cookies, no platform analytics watching your customers. Your store, your analytics.
Full Audit Trail
Complete logs of all data access and changes, stored on your server, under your control.
Encryption at Rest
PostgreSQL database encryption protects stored data. SSL/TLS secures data in transit.
Customer Trust
Tell your customers exactly where their data lives and who has access. Transparency builds loyalty.
SaaS Platforms vs Self-Hosted Spwig
See how data handling differs between hosted platforms and self-hosted Spwig.
SaaS Platforms
- Customer data stored on their servers
- Platform analytics track your customers

Spwig (Self-Hosted)
- All data stays on your own server
- Zero third-party tracking or analytics
- Your privacy policy, your terms
- Full database access and standard exports
- Dedicated infrastructure — only your store
- Only you access your data
