Privacy policy

This policy explains what information PenDNA collects through pendna.in, why we collect it, and what you can do about it. We've kept it short and plain. If anything is unclear, contact us.

Who we are

PenDNA ("we", "us") runs the website pendna.in. PenDNA is based in India. You can reach us through our contact page.

What we collect

• Your email address, when you join the waitlist, along with which page you signed up from.
• Your name, email address and message, when you write to us through the contact form.
• Anonymous visit statistics. We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to count page views and see which pages are read most. It doesn't use cookies, doesn't follow you to other websites, and doesn't build a profile of you.
• Technical logs. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes your IP address and browser details to deliver the site and protect it from abuse.

What we don't do

We don't sell your information. We don't show ads, and we don't use advertising or tracking cookies.

How we use it

• To email you when early access opens, and with occasional updates about PenDNA's launch. Every email lets you unsubscribe.
• To reply to messages you send us.
• To understand how the site is used, so we can improve it.

Who processes it for us

• Formspree receives waitlist and contact form submissions and stores them for us.
• Cloudflare hosts the website and provides the visit statistics.

These services may store data outside India. They only process it to provide their service to us.

What's stored in your browser

When you join the waitlist, this website saves your email address in your browser's local storage, so it can show "You're on the list" when you come back. It stays on your device. You can remove it by clearing this site's data in your browser settings.

Handwriting samples

The waitlist doesn't collect any handwriting. When the PenDNA app launches, these rules will apply to your samples:

• Samples are written and photographed inside the app, so nobody can upload someone else's writing.
• They're used only to create and improve your own handwriting profile.
• They're never sold or shared, and never used to train anything else without asking you first.
• You can delete your samples and handwriting profile at any time.
• PenDNA never writes signatures.

We'll add full details to this policy before the app opens.

How long we keep it

We keep your waitlist email until PenDNA launches, and after that for as long as you stay subscribed to updates. Contact messages are kept for as long as we need them to answer you. You can ask us to delete either at any time.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct or delete the personal data we hold about you, or stop receiving emails from us, at any time. Send your request through the contact page and we'll act on it within 30 days. These rights apply under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and similar laws where you live.

Age

PenDNA is meant for people aged 18 and over. If you're under 18, please don't join the waitlist.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page. If a change is significant, we'll also email people on the waitlist.
