TELLSPrivacy policy
Last updated
The short version
- We only collect your email address, to send you one invite when the TELLS iPhone beta opens.
- The invite comes from Apple's TestFlight. We don't send newsletters.
- We don't sell your address, and we don't share it with anyone for their own marketing.
- This website uses no cookies, no analytics and no tracking.
- Ask us to delete your address at any time.
1. Who is responsible for your data
The data controller is , , who develops TELLS.
Contact for anything about your data:
2. What we collect
| Data | Where it comes from |
|---|---|
| Your email address | You type it into the waitlist form. |
| When you signed up, and which version of this policy you saw | Saved together with your address, so we can show you asked to join (proof of consent). |
We don't store your IP address or browser details with your sign-up. We don't build a profile of you, and we don't ask for your name, age or anything else.
3. Why we use it, and on what legal basis
- To invite you to the TELLS beta when it opens. Legal basis: your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)), which you give by submitting the waitlist form, whose only purpose is this invite.
- To show that consent if we're ever asked. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in showing we follow the law (Art. 6(1)(f)).
You can withdraw consent at any time by contacting us, and we'll delete your address.
4. Who processes it for us
We don't sell your data or give it to anyone for their own purposes. These providers handle it for us:
- Apple (Apple Distribution International Ltd., Cork, Ireland, for the EU) sends the beta invite through TestFlight. To invite you we add your email address in Apple's App Store Connect, and Apple emails you the invite. Apple's privacy policy covers TestFlight.
- Cloudflare, Inc. (USA) hosts this website and stores the waitlist in a database kept in the EU, under Cloudflare's data processing agreement. Like any web host, its servers briefly handle technical data such as your IP address and browser type when you load a page, to deliver the page and protect it from attacks.
5. Transfers outside the EU/EEA
Our providers may use sub-processors outside the EU/EEA, for example in the United States. Where that happens, it is covered by the safeguards the GDPR requires: the European Commission's adequacy decision for the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and/or the Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.
6. How long we keep it
- Until we've sent the beta invites, or until you ask us to delete it, whichever comes first.
- We delete the whole waitlist no later than 12 months after it was collected, or sooner if the project ends.
7. Your rights
Under the GDPR you can:
- see the data we hold about you, and get a copy of it;
- have it corrected or deleted;
- restrict or object to how we use it;
- take it with you in a common format (data portability);
- withdraw your consent at any time.
Email and we'll answer within one month. You also have the right to complain to a data protection authority. In Finland that is the Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman (tietosuoja.fi).
8. Cookies and tracking
This website sets no cookies and uses no analytics, ad pixels or third-party fonts. Nothing is stored on your device.
9. Age
The waitlist is for people aged 13 or over. If you're younger, please don't sign up. If we learn we've collected an address from someone under 13, we delete it.
10. Automated decisions
We make no automated decisions or profiling based on your waitlist data.
11. Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. We won't use your address for anything new without asking you first.
