PRE-LAUNCH DOCUMENT

Privacy notice

Last updated August 14, 2026

Founder review required

This is a clear pre-launch structure, not final legal advice. Bracketed fields need founder and counsel input before commercial launch.

1. Scope and current status

This notice describes the SideFact pre-launch website and waitlist. The iPhone application is still in development. Its final audio-processing, data-retention, and service-provider details will be documented and reviewed before public release.

2. Information the website collects

If you join the waitlist, we collect your email address plus practical attribution such as the landing path, referral code, campaign parameters, and which product emphasis you viewed. We record Founding 200 eligibility, founder number and offer version where applicable. After signup, you may optionally tell us whether Live Facts, Conversation Insight, or both most interest you and whether you want to be considered for a TestFlight beta. We also record limited anonymous events—such as page views, CTA clicks, demo views, FAQ opens, and funnel completions—to understand whether the product is clearly explained.

We do not fingerprint visitors, sell browsing profiles, or request microphone access on this website.

3. Why the information is used

Waitlist information is used to preserve founder-offer eligibility, manage early-access and beta interest, select potential TestFlight participants, send relevant product and launch updates, measure campaign and referral performance, and improve how SideFact is presented. A “yes” beta preference does not guarantee selection. The appropriate legal bases and jurisdiction-specific disclosures require founder/counsel confirmation.

4. Cookies and local storage

The website uses a small first-party visitor identifier for aggregate conversion measurement, referral attribution, and a secure administrator session cookie. Campaign attribution may also be retained in local storage. No third-party advertising or surveillance SDK is installed.

5. Conversation and audio data

SideFact listening occurs only during sessions a user deliberately starts. The product is designed to minimize unnecessary conversation and audio retention. The exact production pipeline may involve cloud processing; final categories, service providers, storage locations, retention periods, and deletion controls are [to be confirmed before app launch].

6. Sharing and service providers

Website data is stored on SideFact-controlled hosting. Any infrastructure, email delivery, analytics, or app-processing vendors and associated international-transfer terms are [to be listed after founder review]. Personal information is not sold as part of this pre-launch website.

7. Retention and security

Waitlist records are retained while early-access communication remains relevant or until deletion is requested, subject to a final retention schedule [to be set]. Access is restricted to an authenticated administrator, the database is outside the public web root, and backups use restricted filesystem permissions. No system is perfectly secure.

8. Your choices and rights

Launch emails will include an unsubscribe mechanism. Requests to access, correct, or delete waitlist data will be handled through [founder-provided privacy contact required]. Specific rights depend on where you live.

9. Children

Intended user age and any jurisdiction-specific parental-consent process are [to be confirmed before commercial launch]. The current waitlist is not intentionally directed to children.

10. Contact and changes

Privacy contact: [founder-provided email required]. This notice will change as the product and its final technical architecture are confirmed. Material updates will receive a new effective date.
