Privacy Notice
Who we are
The Horcrux website and waitlist are operated by Dropout Studio from Dhaka, Bangladesh. In this notice, “Horcrux”, “we”, and “us” refer to that operation.
Information we collect
If you join the waitlist, we keep the email address you submit. Cloudflare may also process standard request information, including your IP address and browser, device, and request metadata, to host and protect the site. Horcrux uses your source IP only in an expiring 15-minute rate-limit record and never writes it to the waitlist database. Resend processes your email address, message content, and delivery metadata to send the waitlist emails.
How we use information
We use your email address to confirm your waitlist signup and send one later launch-access email. We use limited request information to operate, secure, and prevent abuse of the site. We do not sell or rent your information, use it for a marketing drip, or use it for targeted advertising.
When you create a store, we record the applicable platform-policy revision, the accepting account, and the acceptance time to administer and enforce the Terms of Service.
Service providers and disclosure
Cloudflare hosts the website, database, and short-lived rate limit. Resend delivers our waitlist emails. They process information to provide those services under their own terms and privacy commitments. We may also disclose information when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect the site, our rights, or other people.
International processing
Cloudflare and Resend operate internationally. Your information may therefore be processed or stored outside Bangladesh, including in countries with different data-protection laws. We limit the information we send to what these providers need for hosting, security, and email delivery.
Retention
The rate-limit record expires after 15 minutes. We will delete waitlist email addresses no later than 30 days after launch access closes, unless you separately create a Horcrux account under the privacy terms that apply to that account. Our service providers may retain limited operational or security records under their own retention policies.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the limited information we keep. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.
Cookies and analytics
Horcrux does not currently use advertising or analytics cookies on this site. Cloudflare may use strictly necessary cookies when needed to provide security or site functionality.
Your choices
You may ask what waitlist information we hold about you, correct your email address, or request deletion by emailing horcrux@dropoutstudio.co. Deleting your waitlist record stops the later launch-access email. We may ask for enough information to verify that the request concerns your email address.
Changes to this notice
We may update this notice as the website or our handling of information changes. We will post the revised notice here and change the effective date above.
