Privacy Policy
The short version. We collect your email address, and your city if you choose to share it, so we can tell you when Sushi Saved launches.
We never sell your information, never share it for advertising, and don't use tracking cookies. You can ask us to delete your information at any time by emailing hello@sushisaved.com.
1. Who we are
Sushi Saved ("we," "us," "our") runs the website sushisaved.com and is building the Sushi Saved app. We are based in Georgia, United States. For the purposes of the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Sushi Saved is the controller of the personal information described in this policy.
Questions about privacy can be sent to hello@sushisaved.com.
This policy covers our website and waitlist. When the Sushi Saved app launches, we will update this policy, or publish a separate one, to explain what the app collects before you use it.
2. What we collect
Information you give us
- Email address, when you join the waitlist.
- City, only if you choose to enter it.
- Anything you write to us, if you email us.
Information collected automatically
- Technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device type, the pages you visit, and the time of your visit. Our hosting provider records this in standard server logs to deliver the site, keep it secure, and count visits.
- We also record which signup form you used (top or bottom of the page) so we know what's working.
What we don't collect
We don't collect payment information, precise location, contacts, or sensitive information such as health, financial, or government identification data. We don't use advertising cookies, tracking pixels, or third-party analytics on this website.
3. How we use it
| Purpose | Information used | Legal basis (GDPR) |
|---|---|---|
| Tell you when Sushi Saved launches and share occasional updates about it | Email address | Your consent |
| Plan which cities to launch in first | City, if provided | Your consent |
| Answer your messages | Email address and your message | Legitimate interests (responding to you) |
| Run the website, prevent spam and abuse, and keep it secure | Technical information | Legitimate interests (a working, secure site) |
| Meet legal obligations | Any of the above, as required | Legal obligation |
We will not use your information for any purpose you would not reasonably expect without telling you first and, where required, asking for your consent.
4. Emails from us
If you join the waitlist, we'll email you about the launch of Sushi Saved. Every marketing email will include a way to unsubscribe, and you can also unsubscribe by emailing us. We'll honor unsubscribe requests promptly and within 10 business days at most.
5. Who we share it with
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We share information only with service providers who help us run Sushi Saved, and only as needed for them to provide their service to us:
| Provider | What they do | Information involved |
|---|---|---|
| Netlify, Inc. (United States) | Hosts the website and stores waitlist signups | Email, city, technical information |
| Zoho Corporation (United States data center) | Provides our email inbox | Signup notifications and emails you send us |
| Google LLC (Google Fonts) | Supplies the fonts shown on the site | Your IP address and browser information, when your browser downloads the fonts |
If we start using an email-sending service for launch announcements, we'll add it here before we use it. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect the rights and safety of our users or others, or as part of a merger, acquisition, or sale of our business, in which case this policy will continue to apply to your information.
6. Cookies
Our website does not set cookies for tracking or advertising. Our hosting provider may use strictly necessary technical measures to deliver and protect the site. If we ever add cookies that aren't strictly necessary, we'll update this policy and, where required, ask for your consent first.
We treat Global Privacy Control (GPC) browser signals as a valid request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, though we don't sell or share it in the first place.
7. How long we keep it
- Waitlist information is kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it, or until we close the waitlist. If Sushi Saved does not launch, we will delete waitlist information within 24 months of collecting it.
- Emails you send us are kept as long as needed to help you, then deleted within 24 months unless we need them for legal reasons.
- Server logs are kept by our hosting provider for a limited period under its own retention policy.
8. Your rights
Wherever you live, you can ask us to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you and receive a copy
- Correct information that is wrong
- Delete your information
- Withdraw your consent or unsubscribe at any time, without affecting anything done before
- Object to or restrict how we use your information
- Receive your information in a portable format
To make a request, email hello@sushisaved.com from the address you signed up with. We may need to confirm your identity first. We'll respond within 30 days, or sooner if the law where you live requires it. We won't charge you, and we won't treat you differently for using your rights.
If you are in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland
You have the rights above under the GDPR and UK GDPR, and you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. We'd appreciate the chance to address your concern first.
If you are in California or another U.S. state with a privacy law
Residents of California and states such as Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, Oregon, and others have the right to know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose; to access, correct, and delete it; and to opt out of its sale, sharing for targeted advertising, or profiling. We do not sell or share personal information, use it for targeted advertising, or use it for profiling. In the past 12 months, we have collected identifiers (email address), general location (city, if provided), and internet activity information (server logs), from the sources and for the purposes described above. You may use an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf. If we deny your request, you may appeal by replying to our response, and we'll explain our decision.
If you are in Canada, Brazil, Australia, or elsewhere
You have the rights provided by your local law, such as Canada's PIPEDA, Brazil's LGPD, and Australia's Privacy Act, including rights to access and correct your information and to complain to your local privacy regulator. Contact us and we'll help.
9. International transfers
Sushi Saved is based in the United States, and our service providers store information in the United States. If you're outside the U.S., your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed there. Where the law requires, we rely on appropriate safeguards for these transfers, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or our providers' participation in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
10. Security
We protect your information with encrypted connections (HTTPS), reputable service providers, restricted account access, and two-factor authentication on our accounts. No method of storing or sending information is completely secure, but we work to protect it and will notify you and the appropriate authorities of a breach where the law requires.
11. Children
Sushi Saved is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, or under 16 in the European Economic Area and United Kingdom. If you believe a child has given us their information, contact us and we'll delete it.
12. Changes to this policy
We'll update this policy as Sushi Saved grows, including before the app launches. We'll change the "Last updated" date at the top, and if the changes are significant, we'll let waitlist members know by email before they take effect.
