The short version
Today, Kumuao is a marketing site with a waitlist. If you join, we collect your
email address so we can send you a beta invitation. We never sell or
rent your data, we don't run advertising trackers, and you can have your address deleted
at any time by emailing us. That's the whole story — the detail below just spells it out.
What we collect
Email address — when you submit the waitlist form.
A signup source tag — a short label (e.g. waitlist-section,
zh-footer-cta) that tells us which part of the site you signed up from, so we
can understand what's working. It contains no personal information.
Basic request metadata — your IP address and browser user-agent are
processed transiently to rate-limit abuse of the signup endpoint. We don't store these
alongside your email as a profile.
Aggregate, privacy-friendly analytics — anonymous page-view counts via
Vercel Web Analytics, which does not use cookies and does not track you across sites.
Why we collect it
Only to operate the waitlist: to send you a beta invitation and the occasional update
about Kumuao, to understand which channels bring people in, and to keep the signup form
from being abused. We do not use your data to build advertising profiles, and we do not
make automated decisions about you.
Who we share it with
We never sell or rent your personal data — ever, full stop. We share it
only with the service providers that make the waitlist run:
Resend (email delivery, United States) stores your address to send our
emails, and Vercel (hosting, United States) processes requests and
anonymous analytics. Both act on our instructions only. We may disclose data if required
by law, but we'll resist over-broad requests.
How long we keep it
We keep your email until you ask us to remove it or unsubscribe — there's a one-click
unsubscribe link in every email we send. Once you opt out, we delete your address from
our active lists. Transient request metadata used for rate-limiting expires automatically
within an hour.
Your rights
Wherever you live, you can ask us to access, correct, export, or delete
the data we hold about you, and to stop emailing you. If you're in the EU/UK (GDPR),
California (CCPA/CPRA), or China (PIPL), these rights are guaranteed by law and we honour
them for everyone regardless. Email
kumuao.ai@gmail.com
and we'll act within 30 days.
Children
Kumuao is built around child safety, but the product itself is for parents and
adults. The waitlist is not directed at children, and we don't knowingly collect
data from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has submitted their email, tell us and
we'll remove it.
Changes & contact
As Kumuao grows into a full product with accounts, we'll expand this policy and date the
change at the top. Material changes will be announced by email. Questions, requests, or
concerns: kumuao.ai@gmail.com.
