Privacy policy

Last updated: October 19, 2026. This page covers the Linchpin waitlist. Linchpin is not open yet; right now we only collect email addresses from people who ask to be told when it opens.

What we collect

The email address you type into the waitlist form, and the date you signed up. Our form provider may also record basic technical data, such as your IP address and browser, to prevent spam.

How we use it

To email you when Linchpin opens, and possibly one short question about what you would want from it. Nothing else. No newsletter unless you separately ask for one.

What we do not do

We do not sell, rent, or trade your email address. We do not share it with advertisers. We do not add you to anyone else's list.

Who handles it

Your address is stored in Cloudflare Workers KV, and our site is hosted on Cloudflare. Cloudflare processes it only to run those services. If we run a small ad test, the ad platform may see that you visited the page, under its own privacy policy.

How long we keep it

Until Linchpin opens and we have sent the launch email, or until you ask us to delete it, whichever comes first. If we decide not to launch, we will delete the list.

Your choices

You can unsubscribe from any email we send, or ask us to see, correct, or delete your address by emailing hello@thelinchpin.app. We will act on deletion requests within 30 days.

Children

The waitlist is for adults 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

Health information

The waitlist does not ask for any health information. The sample text on the main page runs only in your browser; nothing you type there is sent to us.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update the date above. If a change affects how we use your address, we will email you first.
