Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 2026

This policy covers apotheora.ai, apotheora.com, apotheora.io, apotheocene.ai, apotheocene.com, and apotheocene.io ("our sites"), operated by the founders of this project ("we", "us"). We will update this with a company name once incorporated.

Apotheora and Apotheocene are operated by the same founders and share a single waitlist. Signing up on either site means your email may be used to send you updates about both projects.

What we collect

When you join our waitlist, we collect:

Your email address
The URL you signed up from, including any UTM tracking parameters in the link (e.g. ?utm_source=reddit) — this tells us which platform or campaign brought you to our site
A timestamp of when you signed up

We do not collect your name. We do not use cookies. We do not use any third-party advertising or tracking tools.

Why we collect it

To notify you when we launch and to send you occasional updates about Apotheora and Apotheocene. Every email we send will include an unsubscribe link. You can also unsubscribe at any time by emailing us.

Lawful basis (UK & EU GDPR): Consent — you voluntarily submitted your email address for this purpose. You may withdraw consent at any time by emailing us.

Where your data is stored

Your email and signup details are stored in Google Sheets (Google LLC), protected by Google's security infrastructure. Google is a certified participant in the EU–US Data Privacy Framework.

Our sites are hosted on Cloudflare Pages. Cloudflare processes network traffic transiently for security and performance purposes (DDoS protection, rate limiting). We do not store or log IP addresses in our own systems.

Who has access

Only the two founders of this project. We do not sell, rent, or share your data with any third party, except as described above (Google for storage, Cloudflare for hosting).

Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which collects anonymous, aggregated traffic data (page views, referrers, broad geographic regions). It uses no cookies and collects no personal data about individual visitors.

How long we keep your data

We retain your email until one of the following:

You ask us to delete it
We launch and begin sending updates, at which point you will be automatically included — every email contains an unsubscribe link if you no longer wish to hear from us
We decide not to proceed with the project — in which case all collected data is deleted

Your rights

Under UK GDPR and EU GDPR, you have the right to:

Access — ask what data we hold about you
Rectification — ask us to correct your email address
Erasure — ask us to delete your data entirely
Portability — receive your data in a portable format
Restriction — ask us to pause processing of your data
Object — object to receiving marketing communications at any time; we will stop immediately
Withdraw consent — at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing

To exercise any of these rights, email legal@apotheora.ai. We will respond within 30 days.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or by calling 0303 123 1113.

Changes to this policy

If we update this policy, we will revise the date at the top of this page. For material changes, we will notify waitlist subscribers by email.
