Privacy

The waitlist keeps as little as it can, for one purpose: getting you an invite.

What we store

Your email address, and if you give them, your role and a link to your work. The referral code you joined with, your own referral code, and when you joined and were invited. To keep referrals fair we also store a one-way, keyed hash of your IP address, never the address itself.

Why

Only to run the invite list: to decide who to invite, to send your invite, and to count referrals. We don’t sell it, share it, or use it for marketing.

When you activate palate

The palate CLI sends your invite code and an anonymous machine ID once, and occasionally re-checks. We store that pair with first and last seen times, so a code works on up to three machines. Nothing about your projects, references or taste ever leaves your machine.

Who handles it

The list lives in a Postgres database at Neon, the site runs on Cloudflare, and invite emails go through Resend.

How long

Until palate leaves private preview, then we delete waitlist entries that never became invites. You can ask us to delete yours at any time.

Deleting your data

Reply to any email from us, or write to Garvit through garvit.me, from the address you signed up with. We delete your entry and its activations, usually within a few days.
