Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 25, 2026

VaultLint is a pre-launch product. This site is a landing page, so the amount of personal data involved is deliberately small. This policy explains exactly what happens, in plain language.

Who is responsible

VaultLint is the controller of the personal data described here. For any privacy question or request, email hi@vaultlint.com. We answer privacy requests within 30 days.

Analytics — only if you agree

We use Matomo, a self-hosted analytics tool, to understand which pages people find useful. It runs on our own server at analytics.gazolin-production.com. We do not use Google Analytics, advertising pixels, or any cross-site tracking.

Matomo is not loaded until you press Accept on the consent banner. If you decline or simply ignore the banner, the analytics script is never added to the page and no request is made to the analytics server at all — there is nothing to opt out of afterwards.

If you do consent, Matomo records:

  • the pages you visit and the order you visit them in;
  • the referring site or campaign that brought you here;
  • approximate location derived from your IP address (country / region level);
  • browser, operating system, device type, and screen size;
  • clicks on outbound links.

Matomo stores first-party cookies whose names start with _pk_ in order to recognise a returning visit. These are not shared with anyone and are not used for advertising.

Legal basis (GDPR): your consent, Article 6(1)(a). You can withdraw it at any time — see below.

Waitlist email

If you submit your email address to the waitlist, we use it for one purpose: to tell you when early access opens. We do not send marketing newsletters, and we never sell, rent, or share the list with third parties.

The form sends your address to our own subscription service at go.vaultlint.com, together with a label identifying which form on the page you used. Your IP address is used there only to rate-limit submissions and is not stored alongside your subscription.

We use double opt-in: your address is recorded as pending and we email you a confirmation link. If you never click it, you stay unconfirmed and hear nothing further from us. Every email includes a one-click unsubscribe link, and you can ask us to delete your address at any time.

Legal basis (GDPR): your consent, Article 6(1)(a), confirmed by clicking the link in the confirmation email.

Data stored in your own browser

One value is written to your browser's local storage. It stays on your device and is never transmitted to us:

  • vaultlint_consent — whether you accepted or declined analytics, so we don't ask again on every page.

Clearing your browser's site data removes it, and the consent banner will reappear.

Fonts served by Google

This site loads the Inter and JetBrains Mono typefaces from Google Fonts. Because the font files are fetched from Google's servers, your IP address and browser user-agent are transmitted to Google when the page loads. This happens before any consent, as it is part of rendering the page.

If you would rather this did not happen, we can serve the fonts from our own domain instead — email us and we will prioritise it. Google's handling of this data is described in the Google Privacy Policy.

Server logs

Our hosting provider keeps standard web server logs (IP address, timestamp, requested URL, user-agent) for security and troubleshooting. These are kept for a short period and are not combined with analytics data or used to build a profile of you.

Legal basis (GDPR): legitimate interest in keeping the site secure and available, Article 6(1)(f).

How long we keep things

  • Analytics data: up to 14 months, then deleted or aggregated.
  • Waitlist email: until you unsubscribe or ask us to remove it, or until the waitlist is closed and everyone has been contacted. Addresses that are never confirmed are deleted.
  • Server logs: typically 30 days.

Who we share data with

Nobody, for advertising or commercial purposes. The only parties that process data on our behalf are our hosting provider, our own Matomo analytics server, and our own subscription service that handles waitlist confirmation emails. We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.

Your rights in the EU and UK

Under the GDPR and UK GDPR you have the right to access your data, correct it, delete it, restrict or object to its processing, receive a copy in a portable format, and withdraw consent at any time without affecting processing that already happened.

To withdraw analytics consent, click Cookie settings in the footer and choose Decline — this clears the Matomo cookies and stops the tracker. For anything else, email hi@vaultlint.com.

If you believe we have handled your data improperly, you may lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority.

Your rights in the United States

If you live in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, or another state with a comprehensive privacy law, you have the right to know what personal information we have collected, to request its deletion, to correct it, and to opt out of sale or targeted advertising.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not use it for targeted advertising, so there is nothing to opt out of in that sense. Analytics on this site is opt-in for everyone regardless of where you live, which is stricter than US law requires. To exercise any other right, email hi@vaultlint.com. We will not discriminate against you for making a request.

International transfers

Our analytics server and hosting may be located outside your country. Where data leaves the EEA or UK, we rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision.

Children

This site is aimed at professional software developers. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has given us data, email us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

If we change how we handle personal data — for example when the product launches and accounts exist — we will update this page and change the date at the top. Material changes that affect analytics will reset your consent, so you will be asked again.
