Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

During the pre-launch waitlist phase, we collect only the data strictly necessary to reserve your username and grant early access:

• Reserved Username (Handle): The public display name you choose to reserve.
• Email Address: Used solely to send your Wave 1 launch invite, account activation link, and essential waitlist updates.
• Discord Username & Verification Code (Optional): Used solely to link your waitlist spot with our Discord bot so you can claim your OG role.
• Referral Metadata: Basic referral tracking (?ref=) to credit community invites.
• Partner Verification Data (Optional): If you apply as an Official Representative, we collect the business name, public links, and contact handles you voluntarily submit.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your data exclusively to:

• Hold your reserved username until public launch.
• Verify your eligibility for early access and the Founding OG profile badge.
• Prevent spam, bot abuse, and duplicate registrations.
• Communicate critical launch announcements (zero third-party marketing spam).

3. Data Sharing & Security

• We Never Sell Your Data: We do not sell, rent, or trade your email address or personal details to third parties, advertisers, or sellers.
• Infrastructure: Waitlist records are stored securely using encrypted database infrastructure with restricted administrative access.

4. Cookies & Analytics

We use minimal, privacy-friendly local storage (localStorage) in your browser to remember your reservation state and verification code. We do not use invasive cross-site advertising trackers.

5. Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA)

Regardless of where you are located, you have the right to request access to, correction of, or permanent deletion of your waitlist entry and email address at any time. To remove your data, simply email us from the address you registered with.
