Privacy Policy

1. What we collect

Information you give us

• Waitlist signups: your email address, and your name if you choose to give it.
• Messages: anything you include when you email us, such as your name, email address and the content of your message.

Information collected automatically

• Device and usage information: your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you visit, how long you stay, and the website that referred you.
• Email activity: whether our emails are delivered and opened, and which links are clicked.
• Cookies and similar technologies, described in section 3.

We don’t ask for, and you shouldn’t send us, sensitive information such as account numbers, Social Security numbers or details of your investments.

2. How we use it

• To manage the waitlist and send you updates about Beligator, including launch news and early-access invitations.
• To reply to your messages.
• To understand how people use the site so we can improve it.
• To keep the site secure and prevent abuse or spam.
• To meet legal obligations.

If you’re in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we rely on your consent for marketing emails and non-essential cookies, and on our legitimate interest in running and securing the website for everything else.

3. Cookies and analytics

Cookies are small files stored by your browser. We use essential cookies to make the site work, and, where you allow it, analytics cookies to understand how visitors use the site. You can accept or decline non-essential cookies in our cookie banner, and you can block or delete cookies in your browser settings.

We don’t use cookies for advertising, and we don’t allow advertising networks to track you on our site.

4. Who we share it with

We share information only with service providers that help us run Beligator, and only so they can provide those services to us. They may not use it for their own purposes.

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights or the safety of others, or as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of our business, in which case this policy would continue to apply to your information.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

5. How long we keep it

• Waitlist emails: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete them, or until we decide not to launch Beligator.
• Messages to us: as long as needed to help you, then for a reasonable period for our records.
• Analytics and server logs: for the periods set in those services, usually 14 months or less.

6. Your choices and rights

• Stop emails: click “unsubscribe” at the bottom of any email we send.
• Cookies: change your choice in the cookie banner or your browser settings.
• Access, correct or delete: email us to see the information we hold about you, fix it, or have it deleted.

Depending on where you live, including California and other US states with privacy laws, the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, you may have additional rights. These can include the right to know what we collect, to receive a copy, to object to or restrict certain uses, and to withdraw consent at any time. We won’t treat you differently for using any of these rights.

To make a request, email us at the address below. We’ll respond within 30 days and may need to confirm your identity first. If you’re in the EEA or UK, you can also complain to your local data protection authority.

7. Security and where data is stored

We use reasonable safeguards, including encrypted connections (https) and access controls on our accounts. No method of storing or sending information online is completely secure, so we can’t guarantee absolute security.

Beligator is based in the United States, and our service providers store information in the US and other countries. By using the site, you understand your information may be processed outside your home country.

8. Children

Beligator is intended for adults 18 and older. We don’t knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has given us information, contact us and we’ll delete it.

9. Links to other websites

Our site may link to other websites, such as brokerages or news sources. Their privacy practices are their own, so please review their policies.

10. Changes to this policy

We’ll update this policy as Beligator grows, including before the app launches with accounts and subscriptions. We’ll change the effective date at the top, and if a change is significant, we’ll email waitlist members.
