niellmediaPrivacy Policy
Who is responsible
Niell Garces ("Niell Media", "we"), Philippines is responsible for your personal data. Privacy questions: niell@niellmedia.com.
What we keep, and why
| What | Why | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Your email address | To save your place on the waitlist and to email you about your spot and the launch | Consent (you press Join), steps before a contract |
| What you typed in the text box | To have it ready for your first try when niellmedia opens. It is optional, so leave the box empty if you prefer | Consent |
| Your place in line, your invite code, and how many friends joined with it | To order the list and move you up when friends join | Consent |
| The invite code you arrived with, and a short source tag from the link if it had one | To credit the friend who invited you and to see which links bring people | Legitimate interest |
| When you joined and which version of these pages you saw | Proof of your consent, which the law asks us to keep | Legal obligation |
We do not sell your data, share it for advertising, use it to train AI models, or track you across other websites. When you visit, our host sees your internet address, as every website host does. We use it for a moment to stop abuse (for example, one address joining hundreds of times), only to count recent visits in memory, and we never write it to the list.
Cookies and tracking
None. We set no cookies and run no analytics or advertising tools. Your browser remembers two small things on your own device so the page can show your invite link again: your invite code and a private key that lets you leave the list. They never leave your device unless you press a button on this page. See the Cookies page.
Who else sees your data
- Hosting and storage: Cloudflare. It runs the website and keeps the list in a database in our own account there. It is a United States company, so your data can be processed in the USA and elsewhere. Where the law asks for it, transfers are covered by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or standard contractual clauses. See Cloudflare's Privacy Policy.
- Email sender. When we email you about your spot, the message goes through our email provider, which sees your address for that purpose only.
Nobody else gets your data. If the list is ever moved to another provider, we will update this page first.
How long we keep it
Until you leave the list, or until 12 months after niellmedia opens to the public, whichever comes first. After that we delete the list, apart from the record of your consent, which stays for as long as the law asks.
Your rights
You can, at any time:
- Leave and delete everything we hold about you with one click on the Leave the list page. We remove your row for good.
- See, correct or export your data: email niell@niellmedia.com.
- Withdraw consent or object to emails: use the same link or email.
- Complain to your data protection authority (in the EU your local authority, in the UK the ICO, in the Philippines the National Privacy Commission).
If you live in California or another US state with a privacy law: we do not sell or share personal information, and you have the rights above. We answer within 30 days.
Security
Every page is sent over HTTPS. The list is kept on our server and is not public. Leave links use a long random key that cannot be guessed. If a breach could put you at risk, we tell you and the authorities as the law requires.
Children
niellmedia is for people 18 and older. We do not knowingly keep data about children. Tell us and we delete it.
Changes
If this policy changes in a way that matters, we tell you by email before it applies.
