1. What we collect

When you join the waitlist, we collect the information you submit:

  • Your name
  • Your email address
  • Your self-selected skill level

We also receive limited technical and usage information from site analytics, such as page visits and general interaction data.

2. How we use it

We use this information to:

  • Manage the Barista Journal waitlist
  • Send launch updates, onboarding invites, and occasional product emails
  • Understand interest levels and improve the website and launch process

Data submitted on this site is processed using third-party services that help operate the waitlist:

  • Supabase to store waitlist signups
  • Loops to manage email contact records and outbound waitlist emails
  • Vercel Analytics to understand website traffic and performance

These providers process data on behalf of Barista Journal under their own privacy and security terms.

4. Legal basis and consent

If you submit the waitlist form, you are providing your information voluntarily so we can contact you about Barista Journal. In many jurisdictions, publishing a privacy notice is expected when collecting personal information such as names and email addresses.

Waitlist information is kept for as long as it is reasonably needed to manage the product launch, communicate updates, and maintain records of signups, unless you ask for deletion earlier.
