Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

The Services are operated by Alton Platform Inc. For privacy-related requests, contact us using the details in Section 12.

2. Information we collect

We may collect the following categories of information:

• Information you provide. For example, when you join a waitlist or contact us: name, email address, preferred contact method, usernames or profile links, content categories, social platforms you select, and any other fields you submit through our forms or communications.
• Account and authentication data. If we offer accounts or magic-link sign-in, we process identifiers and session data as described when those features are enabled.
• Technical and usage data. Such as IP address, device and browser type, general location derived from IP, pages viewed, referring URLs, and timestamps. We may use cookies or similar technologies as described in Section 6.
• Information from third parties. We may receive data from analytics providers, hosting infrastructure, email delivery services, or social platforms when you interact with our official channels.

3. How we use information

We use information to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the Services;
• Review and manage waitlist or early-access applications and communicate with you about status, onboarding, and related programs (including partner or referral initiatives where applicable);
• Send transactional or service messages (e.g., confirmations, security notices);
• Analyze usage trends, measure campaign performance, and protect against fraud, abuse, or security incidents;
• Comply with law, enforce our terms, and defend our legal rights.

Where required by applicable law, we rely on appropriate legal bases such as performance of a contract, legitimate interests (balanced against your rights), or consent.

4. How we share information

We may share information with:

• Service providers who assist us (e.g., hosting, analytics, email, customer support tools), subject to confidentiality and processing terms;
• Professional advisors (e.g., lawyers, auditors) where necessary;
• Authorities or third parties when required by law or to protect rights, safety, or security.

We do not sell your personal information as “sale” is defined under applicable U.S. state privacy laws. We may use analytics or advertising technologies that involve sharing device or usage data with partners; you may control cookies through your browser where available.

5. International transfers

We may process information in the United States and other countries where we or our providers operate. Those countries may have different data protection rules than your country. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) for transfers from the EEA, UK, or Switzerland.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

We and our partners may use cookies, local storage, pixels, and similar technologies for essential functionality, preferences, analytics, and marketing (where enabled). You can adjust browser settings to block or delete cookies; some features may not work correctly if you do.

7. Retention

We retain information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes in this Policy, unless a longer period is required by law. Waitlist and communication records may be retained to manage access programs and demonstrate consent or compliance.

8. Security

We implement technical and organizational measures designed to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your rights and choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information; to object to or restrict certain processing; to withdraw consent where processing is consent-based; and to opt out of certain sales/sharing or targeted advertising (as defined by local law).

To exercise applicable rights, contact us as set out below. You may appeal certain decisions as required by law. You may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your jurisdiction.

10. Children

The Services are not directed to children under 16 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have done so, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete the information.

11. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version and revise the “Last updated” date. Material changes may be communicated through the Services or by email where appropriate.

12. Contact
