what we collect

• email address — only when you submit the launch signup form. used to email you when we launch and, occasionally, about related updates.
• analytics events — anonymous-by-default product analytics via PostHog: pageviews, clicks, basic device/browser metadata, and form submissions. used to understand what works on the site.
• server logs — our hosting provider (Vercel) may keep short-lived request logs (ip address, user agent) for security and abuse prevention.
