This policy explains what information Zonely collects when you join our beta list, how we use it, and the rights you have over it. We keep it short and only collect what we need: your email address, plus basic analytics about how the site is used.
Zonely (“Zonely”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is a product currently in beta. Zonely is operated by POTERNA LTD, a company registered in England & Wales (company number 16852743), whose registered office is at 124 City Road, London EC1V 2NX, United Kingdom.
For anything about this policy or your data, contact us at [email protected]. We are the “data controller” for the information described here.
When you submit the form on our site, we collect:
We do not ask for your name, payment details, or any other personal information, and the site does not require you to create an account.
We use your information to:
Our legal basis for this is your consent (Article 6(1)(a) UK GDPR / EU GDPR), which you give by submitting your email to join the beta. You can withdraw your consent at any time — every email we send includes an unsubscribe link, or you can email us at [email protected]. Withdrawing consent does not affect anything we did before you withdrew it.
We do not sell or rent your information. We share it only with the service providers that help us run the site, who act as our “processors” and may store data in the United States:
| Provider | Purpose | Location |
|---|---|---|
| Formspree | Receives and stores your form submission (your email) | United States |
| DigitalOcean | Hosts the Zonely website | United States |
Because these providers process data in the United States, your information may be transferred outside the UK/EEA. Where that happens, the transfer is protected by appropriate safeguards — Standard Contractual Clauses and/or the EU–US / UK Data Privacy Framework, as applicable. You can ask us for more detail at any time.
We keep your email only as long as we need it for the purpose above. In practice that means until the Zonely beta ends and our launch communications are complete (and for up to 12 months afterwards), or until you ask us to delete it or unsubscribe — whichever comes first. If we decide not to proceed with Zonely, we delete the list.
Under UK and EU data protection law you have the right to:
To exercise any of these, email [email protected] and we’ll respond within one month. If you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled your data, you can complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint, or to your local data protection authority if you’re in the EU.
We use our own analytics, loaded from tracker.poterna.com, to understand how people find and use this site — for example which pages are viewed, the site or link that referred you, and general information about your browser, device, and approximate location (derived from your IP address). We use this in aggregate to measure interest in Zonely and improve the site; we don’t use it to personally identify you, and we don’t sell it.
This analytics is privacy-friendly: it does not use cookies, and it does not store or read any identifier on your device or track you across other websites. Because nothing is stored on or read from your device, it does not require a cookie banner. We rely on our legitimate interest in understanding and improving Zonely as the basis for this limited analytics, and you can object at any time by emailing us at [email protected].
Zonely is intended for adults and is not directed to children under 16. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has given us their email, contact us at [email protected] and we’ll delete it.
As Zonely moves from beta to a full product, we may update this policy. When we do, we’ll change the “last updated” date at the top, and for significant changes we’ll let you know by email.
