Privacy policy

We would rather explain this in plain language than hide it in legal text. Right now this website does one thing: it collects an email address so we can tell you when DriveBudget is ready. That is all.

Who is responsible

DriveBudget is the controller for this processing. If you have any question about your data, write to support@drivebudget.app and a person will answer you.

What we collect

• Your email address, when you submit the waitlist form. There is nothing else on the form, so there is nothing else to collect.
• The date and time you signed up, and a note that the signup came from this landing page. We keep this so we can answer questions about when an address was added, and so we can spot someone abusing the form.

We use no cookies, no analytics, no advertising pixels and no session recording on this site. There is no consent banner because there is nothing to consent to beyond the form itself.

Our server keeps standard technical connection logs, which can include your IP address, for the purpose of delivering and securing the site. That is ordinary web hosting, and those logs are not linked to your waitlist entry.

Why we collect it, and on what basis

We use your email address for exactly one purpose: to let you know when DriveBudget launches or when early access opens. No newsletters, no unrelated offers, nothing you did not ask for.

The lawful basis is your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, given when you submit the form. You can withdraw it whenever you like, and withdrawing it is as easy as giving it.

How it is stored

Your address is stored on the server that runs this website, which is operated for us within the European Union. Only the people running DriveBudget can reach it.

We do not currently use an external newsletter or email marketing service. If we start using one, we will name it on this page before your address is passed to it.

Who we share it with

Nobody. We do not sell your data, rent it, trade it, or hand it to anyone for their marketing. The only parties involved are the hosting provider that runs the server and, in future, the email service we use to send the launch message, and both would act only on our instructions.

How long we keep it

Until DriveBudget launches and the notification email has gone out, or until you ask us to delete it, whichever comes first. If we ever decide not to launch, we delete the whole list.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to:

• ask what data we hold about you and get a copy (Art. 15)
• have anything inaccurate corrected (Art. 16)
• have your data deleted (Art. 17)
• have processing restricted (Art. 18)
• receive your data in a portable format (Art. 20)
• object to processing (Art. 21)
• withdraw your consent at any time, which does not affect processing that already happened

To use any of these, email support@drivebudget.app. We act on deletion requests promptly and confirm once it is done. You do not need to give us a reason.

You also have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority if you think we have handled your data badly.

Changes to this policy

If what we do with your data changes, this page changes with it and the date at the top is updated. If the change matters and we still hold your address, we will tell you directly rather than quietly editing the page.
