Privacy Policy

Zinq is currently in pre-launch phase, building first in Rotterdam.

We believe in keeping things simple and honest. This policy explains how we handle your data when you sign up for the Zinq waitlist. No legal jargon, just straight talk about your privacy.

Who is responsible for your data?

The data controller is Zinq, operated by Ivan Kharitonenko, based in Maastricht, Netherlands. If you have any questions, you can reach us directly at privacy@zinq.app.

What we collect and why

When you join our waitlist, we only collect the information we absolutely need:

• Your email address
• Your city preference (e.g., Rotterdam)

Purpose: We use this solely to manage the waitlist and notify you when Zinq launches in your city. That's it.

Legal basis: Your consent. By submitting the waitlist form, you give us permission to use this data for these specific purposes.

Where your data lives (Third-party processors)

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third-party advertisers or data brokers. The external services we use are:

• Supabase, Inc. (US) — Our secure database provider that stores waitlist submissions. Covered by their standard Data Processing Agreement (DPA).
• Cloudflare, Inc. (US) — We use Cloudflare Turnstile, an invisible bot-protection service, to secure our signup forms. Turnstile operates silently in the background with no visible challenge to users. When you submit the form, Cloudflare may process your IP address and browser signals to verify that you are a human. No personal data is stored by Cloudflare beyond what is strictly necessary for this verification. For more details, see the Cloudflare Privacy Policy and the Turnstile Privacy Addendum.

Cookies and Tracking

We do not use tracking pixels, marketing analytics, or cross-site tracking. The only cookies or local browser storage used on this site are:

• Session and local storage used to remember your waitlist position and referral code within your browser. This data never leaves your device.
• Cloudflare Turnstile may set cookies or use browser signals as part of its invisible bot-protection mechanism. These are strictly necessary for security and are not used for advertising or tracking.

How long we keep your data

We won't hold onto your information forever. Your data will be deleted when you ask us to remove it, or exactly 12 months after our official launch—whichever comes first.

Your rights

Under the GDPR, you are in full control of your personal data. You have the right to:

• Access the data we have on you
• Rectify (fix) any incorrect data
• Erase your data (right to be forgotten)
• Restrict or object to how we process your data
• Portability (get a copy of your data)
• Withdraw your consent at any time

To exercise any of these rights, just email us at privacy@zinq.app and we'll handle it promptly.

If you feel we aren't respecting your privacy, you also have the right to complain to the Dutch Data Protection Authority: Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.

Yes, that’s everything. We’re a small team building something we actually want to use. We have no interest in your data beyond getting Zinq in your hands.
