Privacy
One address.
Nothing else.
The only thing this site asks you for is an email address, and the only reason it asks is to tell you when the workspace opens. This page says what happens to it, who else can see it, and how to get it back out. It is short because there is not much to describe.
What we hold
Four columns.
The launch list is one table in one database. This is all of it, and the schema that makes it is in src/lib/db.ts if you would rather not take our word.
| Column | What it holds |
|---|---|
| The address you typed, lowercased so one person cannot become two rows. | |
| source | Which form you used: the top, middle or foot of the home page, or one of the product pages. |
| created_at | The moment you submitted it. |
| id | A number, so the row can be pointed at. |
What is deliberately not in there: your IP address, your request headers, and any fingerprint of your browser or device. The rate limit that stops one machine submitting a thousand times holds addresses in memory for sixty seconds and writes none of them down. That was a decision about the shape of the table, not an oversight we are describing kindly.
Submit the same address twice and you stay one row, so you cannot end up with two copies of the same email on launch day.
Why we hold it
To send you one email.
You gave us an address so we could tell you when SwarmUp opens. That is consent, and it is the only ground we rely on. There is no legitimate-interest argument sitting underneath it as a backstop: withdraw, and there is nothing left holding the address.
One message, when the workspace opens. No sequence behind it, no newsletter, no drip. We do not sell the list, rent it, share it or hand it to a partner, and it does not sit in a third party's dashboard: it is a table on our own database, which is the only version of that promise we can actually keep.
Who else touches it
Two companies.
Nobody is given the list. These two are the infrastructure it runs on, which is a different thing, but they can technically reach it and so they are named.
| Company | What they touch, and why |
|---|---|
| Railway | Runs this website and the database the list lives in. They host it; they have no use of their own for it. |
| Analytics, and only once you have allowed it. Google is in the United States, so allowing analytics means data about your visit is handled there. It never includes your email address. |
How long we keep it
Until you ask us not to.
Your address stays on the list until you tell us to remove it. Mail hello@swarmup.ai and it is deleted, same day where we can, and we do not ask why.
The straight version, because a privacy page that hedges here is worth nothing: we have not set an expiry date. The list exists to send one message, and once that message has gone the tidiest thing would be to delete the table. We have not committed to a date for doing it. So the commitment we will make is the one above — ask, and you are gone — rather than a retention period we have not decided on and would be inventing to fill the gap.
What you can make us do
All of this, for free.
If you are in the UK or the EU, these are rights you have in law. We do not intend to check where you are before honouring them, so treat them as things anyone on this list can ask for.
- Ask what we hold about you, and get a copy of it.
- Correct it if it is wrong.
- Have it deleted.
- Have it sent to you, or somewhere else, in a form a machine can read.
- Withdraw your consent, which for the launch list is the same as asking for deletion.
- Object to what we are doing with it, or ask us to stop while a question is open.
- Complain about us to your data protection authority, without coming to us first.
None of them needs a reason and none of them costs anything. One email does all of them.
Asking
One address for all of it.
SwarmUp decides what happens to the data described on this page, which makes us the controller for it. Questions, deletions, complaints, and anything this page did not answer:
If we change what we collect, this page changes on the same day and the date below moves with it. We will not quietly widen what the list is for.
