What we collect

• Email address — when you submit a product, claim a listing, subscribe to the newsletter, request investor access or ask about sponsorship.
• Submission data — the product URL and the copy you or we drafted from the public page.
• A vote signature — a one-way hash of your network address and browser string, used to stop the same person voting twice. We do not store the address or the browser string themselves and the hash cannot be reversed.
• An audit record — for writes: which action ran, against which listing, and when. This is what makes rate limits and abuse investigation possible.

We run no cross-site tracking, no advertising pixels and no third-party cookies. If we ever add page-level aggregate analytics, this page will say so first.

Why we collect it

Contract, for anything you asked us to do — sending a verification link, holding a queue slot, replying about sponsorship. Legitimate interest, for abuse prevention and for keeping the index accurate. Consent, for the newsletter, which is double opt-in.

How votes are counted

A vote is stored as a listing identifier plus the hashed signature described above. There is no account behind it, so we cannot tell you what you voted for and neither can anyone else.

Email

Transactional email — verification links, queue confirmations, launch-day notices — goes to the address you gave for that purpose. Marketing email means the weekly newsletter and nothing else. Every message we send carries a one-click unsubscribe header as well as a link, and unsubscribing is immediate.

If we contact the owner of an unclaimed listing, it is a single message about that listing with at most one follow-up, and it always includes a removal link.

Who else sees it

Our hosting provider, our database provider, our email provider and our error-monitoring provider process data on our behalf under contract. We do not sell data, we do not share contact details with investors or sponsors, and we do not run advertising networks on the site.

Your rights

Ask us for a copy of what we hold, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it: email [email protected] and we will act within 30 days, and usually within two working days. Deleting your email address also removes you from the newsletter and from any pending submissions.

Unverified submissions are deleted automatically after 72 hours. Newsletter addresses are kept until you unsubscribe. Audit records are kept for twelve months.
