Stagely. Waitlist Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Stagely ("we," "us," or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website stagely.dev (the "Site") and specifically when you sign up for the waitlist for our upcoming tool to manage preview developer environments based on GitHub PRs (the "Service").

This policy applies solely to the information collected through the waitlist sign-up process on our Site. Once the Service is launched, a more comprehensive Privacy Policy covering the use of the Service itself will be provided.

Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not provide us with your information for the waitlist.

2. Information We Collect for the Waitlist

We may collect information about you in a variety of ways when you interact with our waitlist sign-up form. The information we may collect on the Site for this purpose includes:

Personal Data You Provide to Us:

• When you sign up for our waitlist, you voluntarily provide us with personally identifiable information, such as your email address, and optionally, your name and organization/company name.

Data Collected Automatically (Related to Waitlist Form Security):

• Cloudflare Turnstile: To protect our waitlist form from spam and abuse, we use Cloudflare Turnstile. This service may process your IP address and other device/browser information as part of its security analysis. This data is processed by Cloudflare in accordance with its privacy policy. We do not directly store this specific Turnstile interaction data, but it is essential for the security and functionality of our waitlist form.
• Server Logs (via Cloudflare Workers/Pages): Like most websites, our hosting provider (Cloudflare) may automatically collect information your browser sends whenever you visit our Site. This log data may include information such as your computer's Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, browser version, the pages of our Site that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, and other statistics. This is primarily for security, monitoring, and operational purposes related to the Site hosting the waitlist.

We do not use any other analytics or tracking cookies on the waitlist sign-up page at this time. If this changes, this policy will be updated.

3. How We Use Your Waitlist Information

Having accurate information about you permits us to manage your inclusion in our waitlist and communicate with you about the upcoming Stagely Service. Specifically, we may use information collected about you via the waitlist sign-up to:

• Manage our waitlist and keep you informed about your status or our progress.
• Send you updates, pre-launch information, and other communications related to the Stagely Service for which you joined the waitlist (you can opt-out at any time).
• Notify our internal team (e.g., via Slack) about new waitlist sign-ups for administrative and planning purposes.
• Protect our Site and waitlist form from spam and abuse (via Cloudflare Turnstile).
• Monitor basic usage trends of the waitlist page to improve the sign-up experience and plan for future service capacity.
• Respond to any direct inquiries you may send us regarding the waitlist or Stagely.
• Comply with legal obligations.

4. Legal Basis for Processing Your Waitlist Information (GDPR)

If you are from the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information for the waitlist as described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.

• Consent: We rely on your consent to process your personal information (email, name, organization) for the purpose of sending you updates about Stagely and managing your position on our waitlist. You provide this consent when you submit your details to join the waitlist. You can withdraw your consent at any time.
• Legitimate Interests: We process certain data (like IP addresses via Turnstile for security, or internal notifications about sign-ups) based on our legitimate interests, provided such interests are not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. Our legitimate interests include protecting our Site and waitlist from abuse, administering our waitlist efficiently, and planning our product launch.
• Legal Obligations: In some cases, we may have a legal obligation to collect or process personal information from you.

5. Disclosure of Your Waitlist Information

We do not sell your personal information collected for the waitlist. We may share information we have collected about you in certain situations related to managing the waitlist. Your information may be disclosed as follows:

• By Law or to Protect Rights: If we believe the release of information about you is necessary to respond to legal process, to investigate or remedy potential violations of our policies, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of others, we may share your information as permitted or required by any applicable law, rule, or regulation.
• Third-Party Service Providers (for Waitlist Operations): We may share your information with third parties that perform services for us or on our behalf related to the waitlist, including:
  • Cloudflare, Inc.: For website hosting (Cloudflare Pages), CAPTCHA services (Cloudflare Turnstile), and serverless functions (Cloudflare Workers) that process waitlist submissions. Their processing is governed by Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
  • Slack Technologies, LLC (Salesforce): To send notifications to our internal Slack channel about new waitlist sign-ups. Their processing is governed by Slack's/Salesforce's Privacy Policy.
• With Your Consent: We may disclose your personal information for any other purpose with your explicit consent.

6. Data Retention for Waitlist Information

We will only keep your personal information collected for the waitlist for as long as it is necessary for the purposes set out in this privacy policy. This includes managing the waitlist, providing you with updates about Stagely leading up to its launch, and for a reasonable period after launch to ensure you have been informed. After this period, or if you request removal, your data will be deleted unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information from the waitlist, we will either delete or anonymize it, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

If you wish to have your information removed from our waitlist sooner, please contact us using the details below.

7. Data Security for Waitlist Information

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information submitted to the waitlist. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure this information, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other type of misuse.

Our Site is hosted on Cloudflare Pages, and our waitlist submission form uses Cloudflare Workers and Cloudflare Turnstile, which incorporate security measures. However, we cannot guarantee complete security of your waitlist data.

8. International Data Transfers of Waitlist Information

Your information collected for the waitlist, including personal data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside of these regions, including the United States, where our service providers (like Cloudflare, Slack) may operate. We will take appropriate safeguards to ensure that your personal data remains protected in accordance with this privacy policy and applicable data protection laws, such as by relying on Standard Contractual Clauses or Adequacy Decisions where applicable for these transfers.

Cloudflare provides information on its data processing and international transfers in its privacy policy and related documentation.

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, or other regions with similar data protection laws, you have certain data protection rights concerning your personal information provided for the waitlist.
