Crate Room

Privacy

Last updated 13 November 2026

This page explains what happens to your data on crateroom.app and when you join the Crate Room waitlist. We collect as little as we can, and we never sell it or use it for advertising.

Who is responsible

The data controller is Magdalena Sikora, Poland. You can reach us about anything on this page at hello@crateroom.app.

The waitlist

When you leave your email in a “Get early access” form, we store that address so we can tell you when Crate Room launches and, now and then, how it's coming along. Before you're added, we send you an email asking you to confirm, and you're only on the list once you do.

Along with your email, our email provider records when you signed up and confirmed, and whether our emails were opened or links in them clicked. We use this only to keep the list working and to see that our emails arrive.

The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw it at any time with the “Unsubscribe” link at the bottom of every email, or by writing to us, and your address is then removed from the list.

We keep your email until you unsubscribe or until we stop sending news about Crate Room. Addresses that were never confirmed are deleted within 90 days.

Visiting the website

The website sets no cookies and loads no trackers, ads or social media plugins. The fonts are hosted on our own site, so your browser doesn't contact Google or anyone else to show them.

The site is hosted by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes your IP address and basic request details to deliver the pages and to protect the site from attacks. If we look at visitor numbers, we use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which counts visits without cookies and without identifying you. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in running a secure, working website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Writing to us

If you email hello@crateroom.app, we use your message and address only to reply. Mail to this address is forwarded by Cloudflare to a Google (Gmail) inbox, where it is stored for as long as the conversation needs it.

Who helps us

We use a few trusted services that process data on our behalf, under data processing agreements:

Some of these companies are based in the United States. Transfers there are covered by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework where the company is certified, and otherwise by the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

Your rights

You can ask us to show you the data we hold about you, correct it, delete it, limit how we use it, or send it to you in a portable format, and you can object to processing based on our legitimate interest. Write to hello@crateroom.app and we'll answer within a month.

If you think we handle your data unlawfully, you can complain to the Polish data protection authority, the President of the Personal Data Protection Office (Prezes Urzędu Ochrony Danych Osobowych, ul. Stawki 2, 00-193 Warszawa, uodo.gov.pl), or to the authority in your own country.

The Crate Room app

This page covers the website and the waitlist. The app itself keeps your library on your Mac, and before it goes on sale we'll extend this page to explain everything it does online, such as licence activation and update checks.

Changes

If we change how we handle your data, we'll update this page and the date at the top, and tell people on the waitlist about any important change by email.
