Privacy policy

In short

2. Hosting

This website is hosted by Vercel Inc., 440 N Barranca Ave #4133, Covina, CA 91723, USA. When you visit the site, Vercel processes technically necessary data (e.g. IP address, time, page requested, browser type) in server logs to deliver the site and protect it against abuse.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in providing the website securely and reliably (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). We have a data processing agreement with Vercel. Vercel is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework; the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses also apply.

3. Waitlist and newsletter

When you sign up, we store:

Double opt-in: After signing up, we send you an email with a confirmation link. You’re only on the waitlist once you open it. Unconfirmed sign-ups are deleted automatically after 30 days.

Content: We email you about Arc Mode – for example when the app launches or there’s news. No advertising for others.

The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw it at any time with effect for the future – via the unsubscribe link in every email or by emailing the address above. We then delete your data unless we are legally required to keep it.

Abuse protection: To stop anyone from signing up other people’s addresses in bulk, we store an encrypted value (hash) of your IP address at sign-up – not the IP itself – and delete it after 24 hours at the latest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

You must be at least 16 to sign up.

4. Service providers

We use the following processors for the waitlist, each under a data processing agreement:

Where data is transferred to the USA, this is based on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.

5. Your rights

You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and objection (Art. 21). You can withdraw your consent at any time (Art. 7(3)). Just send us an email.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR).
