How we handle your data when you join the waitlist.
This notice explains what personal data we collect when you join the Adsonomy waitlist, why we collect it, how long we keep it, who processes it, and what rights you have under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We have kept it short and in plain English. If anything is unclear, write to us.
1. Who is responsible for your data
Controller: Adsonomy, operated by Dutch Bohemian Ventures, the Netherlands.
Contact: hello@adsonomy.com
We have not appointed a data protection officer, because the scale of this processing does not require one. All privacy questions and requests go to the address above.
2. Why we collect your data
We use the data you give us for one purpose: to run the waitlist and to communicate with you about the launch of Adsonomy. In practice that means:
- sending you one email to confirm your address (double opt-in);
- telling you when Adsonomy launches and when onboarding for founding customers opens;
- contacting you to arrange a setup call if you are onboarded as a founding customer;
- keeping a simple picture of who is on the list (shop or service, platform, budget band) so we can onboard people in a sensible order and prepare the right integrations.
We do not send a newsletter, we do not sell or rent your data, and we do not use it for advertising to you on other platforms.
3. Legal basis
We process your data on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You give that consent by ticking the box on the waitlist form and confirming your email address.
You can withdraw your consent at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any email we send you, or by writing to hello@adsonomy.com. Withdrawal takes effect immediately and does not affect the lawfulness of processing that took place before you withdrew.
4. What data we collect
| Data | Where it comes from | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Email address | You, via the form | To confirm your place and send launch communication |
| Shop or website URL | You, via the form | To understand what you sell and prepare the right integration |
| Business type (products, services, both, agency) | You, via the form | To plan onboarding |
| Platform (for example Shopify or WordPress) | You, via the form | To prioritise integrations |
| Expected monthly ad budget band | You, via the form | To plan onboarding capacity |
| Hashed IP address | Collected automatically when you submit | To prevent abuse of the form. We store a one-way hash, not the address itself |
| Timestamps (sign-up, confirmation, withdrawal) | Collected automatically | To prove consent and to onboard people in the order they confirmed |
Only the email address is strictly required. The other fields help us onboard you well, but you can leave the optional ones empty. We do not collect any special categories of personal data, and the waitlist is not intended for people under 18.
5. How long we keep it
We keep your waitlist data until launch communication ends or until you withdraw your consent, whichever comes first. In any case we delete it no later than 24 months after you signed up. If you become a customer, the data moves to your customer account and is covered by the customer privacy notice and agreement you receive at that time.
If you sign up but never confirm your email address, we delete your data within 30 days.
6. Who processes your data on our behalf
We use a small number of service providers (processors) that act only on our instructions:
- Hosting: DigitalOcean, data centre in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The waitlist database lives there.
- Email delivery: an email service provider used to send the confirmation and launch emails. We choose a provider that processes data in the EU or under a valid transfer mechanism.
Each processor is bound by a data processing agreement. We do not share your data with anyone else, unless the law requires us to.
Your data is stored in the European Union. If a processor ever transfers data outside the EU or EEA, we make sure the transfer is covered by the European Commission's standard contractual clauses or another safeguard recognised under the GDPR.
7. Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to:
- Access: ask what data we hold about you and receive a copy.
- Rectification: ask us to correct data that is wrong or incomplete.
- Erasure: ask us to delete your data. Withdrawing consent triggers deletion.
- Portability: receive the data you gave us in a common machine-readable format, such as CSV.
- Restriction and objection: ask us to limit how we use your data while a question is being resolved.
- Withdraw consent: at any time, as described in section 3.
To exercise any of these rights, email hello@adsonomy.com. We answer within one month. We may ask you to confirm that the request comes from the email address on the list.
If you think we have handled your data wrongly, you can complain to the Dutch supervisory authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens (autoriteitpersoonsgegevens.nl), or to the supervisory authority in the EU country where you live. We would appreciate the chance to resolve the issue first.
8. Cookies
adsonomy.com does not use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies. The site sets only cookies that are strictly necessary for it to work, such as a session cookie that protects the waitlist form against forged submissions. These do not require your consent and are deleted when you close your browser. Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts; that request transfers your IP address to Google to deliver the font files and is not used by us to identify you.
9. Security
Data is transmitted over HTTPS and stored on servers in Amsterdam with access limited to the people who need it to run the waitlist. IP addresses are hashed before storage. We review access periodically and remove data when it is no longer needed.
10. Changes to this notice
If we change how we process waitlist data, we update this page and change the date at the top. If a change materially affects you, we tell you by email before it takes effect.
