Privacy policy

Last updated [DATE] · Covers this website and the beta list

The short version

  • We collect your email and your answers to two short questions.
  • We use them only to run the Coowise beta.
  • We don't sell your data, and we don't use advertising cookies.
  • Unsubscribe any time. Ask us to delete your details any time.

How we use it

  • To email you when your beta spot is ready, and with news about the beta and the launch.
  • To count sign-ups by kind of work, so we know who wants Coowise most.

We only email you about the Coowise beta. Every email has an unsubscribe link.

Who we share it with

Only companies that help us run the site and send email, and only so they can do that job for us:

  • [EMAIL SERVICE], which sends our emails
  • [HOSTING PROVIDER], which hosts this website
  • [ANALYTICS TOOL], which counts visits without cookies

We don't sell your data. We don't share it for advertising. We would only hand it over if the law makes us, and we'd tell you if the law allows.

How long we keep it

We keep your sign-up until the beta ends and Coowise launches, plus [MONTHS] months. If you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it, we delete it within 30 days. Your data is stored in the United States.

Your choices and rights

  • Stop emails: use the unsubscribe link in any email.
  • See, correct or delete your details: email us at [CONTACT EMAIL]. We reply within [REPLY DAYS] days.
  • California residents: you have the right to know, correct and delete the personal information we hold about you, and we won't treat you differently for asking. We don't sell or share personal information.

This website and the beta are for adults in the US. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

Cookies

This website doesn't use advertising or tracking cookies. Our visit counter works without cookies, so there's no cookie banner.

The Coowise app

This policy covers only this website and the beta list. The Coowise app will have its own privacy policy before you use it. It will explain how we handle bank data (read-only, through Plaid), your location for mileage, and your receipts.

Changes

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. If a change affects how we use your email, we'll email you first.
