Privacy Policy
How Berth handles your data.
Last updated: 1 May 2026. Plain-English summary first; legal detail after.
Plain-English summary
- We only collect your email on the waitlist — nothing else.
- We use it to email you once when Berth launches.
- We will never sell or share your email.
- You can delete your data at any time via the link in any email from us, or by emailing hello@berth.money.
1. Who we are
Berth ("we", "us") is a personal project pre-launch. The data controller is the founder, contactable at hello@berth.money. Once Berth is operated as a registered business entity, this policy will be updated with the legal entity name and address.
2. What we collect
From the waitlist signup form:
- Email address
- Timestamp of signup and consent
- Source identifier (which page you came from)
- Anti-abuse verification token (Cloudflare Turnstile) — used once and discarded; no IP address is stored long-term
We do not collect your name, address, phone, financial details, or behavioural tracking data. We do not use cookies.
If you become a paying customer post-launch, we will additionally collect the data you submit via the quiz (work shape, currencies, country of residence, etc.) to generate your personalized Notion workspace. That separate processing is disclosed at point of purchase.
3. Why we collect it (lawful basis)
We process your email under your explicit consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)), given by ticking the consent checkbox at signup.
The only purpose is to email you when Berth launches. We will not share your email with third parties, sell it, or use it for unrelated marketing.
4. How long we keep it
Until you ask us to delete it, or until 24 months after launch, whichever comes first. After 24 months without launch (i.e. the project is abandoned), we will proactively delete all waitlist records.
5. Sub-processors
We use these third parties to operate Berth. Each is independently GDPR-compliant under their own published commitments:
- Cloudflare (Ireland HQ for EU services) — hosting (Workers + Pages), DNS, anti-abuse (Turnstile), database (D1, Eastern Europe region).
- Resend (United States) — sending the launch announcement email and unsubscribe-confirmation email.
- Stripe (Ireland for EU users) — payment processing, post-launch only.
- Notion (United States) — generating your workspace, post-purchase only.
- Anthropic (United States) — generating your personalized plan from quiz answers, post-purchase only.
6. Your rights under GDPR
You have the right to:
- Access — request a copy of the data we hold on you
- Rectification — correct inaccurate data
- Erasure ("right to be forgotten") — request deletion at any time
- Restriction — limit how we use your data
- Portability — receive your data in machine-readable form
- Objection — opt out of any further processing
- Withdraw consent — at any time, with no consequence to you
- Lodge a complaint with the Hungarian National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (NAIH, naih.hu) or your local supervisory authority
To exercise any of these, click the unsubscribe link in any email from us, or email hello@berth.money. We respond within 30 days as required by GDPR.
7. Cookies & local storage
We do not use cookies. We use localStorage (browser-side only, never sent to our server) to remember your email if the signup network call fails, so we don't lose your intent. You can clear it at any time via your browser.
8. International transfers
Resend, Notion, Anthropic, and some Stripe processing involves transferring data to the United States. These transfers rely on EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and each processor's published GDPR commitments.
9. Security
Your email is stored in Cloudflare D1 (encrypted at rest), accessed only via signed Worker requests. We do not log or retain IP addresses long-term. API tokens used by the Worker are stored as Cloudflare Worker Secrets (encrypted, not visible in logs).
10. Changes
If this policy changes materially, we will email all waitlist members and update the date at the top of this page.
