Stripe, Inc. (Payment Processing)

GitHub Pages (Website Hosting)

We do not currently use third-party advertising networks, behavioral tracking pixels, or data brokers. If this changes, we will update this Privacy Policy before any such processors are activated.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our website uses minimal tracking technologies:

Essential Cookies

We may set session cookies required for the website to function correctly, such as preserving form state. These cookies are strictly necessary and cannot be opted out of while using the site.

Analytics

If analytics tools are activated on our website, they may set first-party cookies to measure page views, session duration, and referral sources. These analytics are used solely to improve the website experience and are not shared with advertising platforms. You may opt out by adjusting your browser's cookie settings or by using a browser extension such as uBlock Origin.

Third-Party Cookies

Stripe's payment widget may set third-party cookies for fraud prevention and session security during the checkout process. These cookies are governed by Stripe's privacy policy.

Do Not Track

We respect Do Not Track (DNT) browser signals. When DNT is enabled, we limit any non-essential tracking to the extent technically feasible.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to:

• Maintain your founding membership account and deliver lifetime access benefits
• Comply with legal, tax, and accounting obligations (typically 7 years for financial records)

Email addresses collected via the waitlist are retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion. Purchase records are retained in accordance with applicable financial recordkeeping requirements.

7. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights with respect to your personal information:

• Right to Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Right to Correction — request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data

• Right to Portability — request your data in a structured, machine-readable format
• Right to Opt Out of Marketing — unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time using the unsubscribe link in each email

Please note that deleting your personal data may affect our ability to deliver founding membership benefits, as your account information is necessary to authenticate your access.

8. Data Security

We implement commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

• HTTPS encryption for all data transmitted between your browser and our website
• Restricted access to personal data on a need-to-know basis
• Use of PCI-compliant payment processors (Stripe) — we never handle raw payment card data

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security. In the event of a data breach that affects your rights and freedoms, we will notify you as required by applicable law.
