Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 23, 2026
The short version
If you join the waitlist, we store your email address. If you write to us, we store your message. With your consent we run privacy-friendly analytics.
Data controller
JVA Management BV, Koolmijnlaan 405 bus 1, 3550 Heusden-Zolder, Belgium (KBO 0803.252.842), trading as VÆN ("we", "our", "us"), is the data controller for personal data processed through this website. For any privacy question or request, contact privacy@vaen.cc.
What we collect, and why
Waitlist
Your email address, signup date, language preference, the list and page you signed up on, your own referral code and, if you used someone's invite link, their code; we also count how many people joined through your link. Legal basis: consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). We use it to tell you when the app opens and when a drop lands. Nothing else. Withdraw anytime via the unsubscribe link in every email or at vaen.cc/unsubscribe.
Contact form
Your name, email address and message, so we can reply. Legal basis: legitimate interest in answering you (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Analytics and error monitoring
In your browser, only after you consent via the cookie banner: anonymous, cookieless page and performance analytics (Plausible, Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights) and client-side error reports and performance measurements (Sentry). No cross-site tracking, no advertising profiles. Legal basis: consent. Separately, we log server-side technical errors (Sentry) to keep the site working, on the basis of legitimate interest; these carry no marketing data.
Where your data lives
We use a small set of processors to run this site: Notion (waitlist storage), Resend (email delivery), Google Workspace (our mailbox), Vercel (hosting), Upstash (abuse and rate limiting, no personal profiles, and a temporary queue for waitlist signups that Notion fails to save), Plausible (analytics, EU), Vercel Analytics + Speed Insights (cookieless analytics) and Sentry (error monitoring). Where a processor operates outside the EEA, transfers rest on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.
How long we keep it
Waitlist data: until you unsubscribe or ask us to erase it. Contact messages: as long as needed to handle your question. Consent choices: 12 months, then we ask again.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you can request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and you can object to processing or withdraw consent at any time. Email privacy@vaen.cc and we handle it within 30 days. You can also complain to the Belgian Data Protection Authority (gegevensbeschermingsautoriteit.be).
