Privacy Policy

CartBuild is building a tool that helps makers launch their own online store alongside Etsy. Right now this site is a waitlist. This page explains what we collect when you join, and why.
What we collect
- Your email address, when you join the waitlist.
- Optional answers you choose to give after joining: your shop link, rough order volume, your main reason for wanting a store, and whether a founding price would work for you.
- How you found us: the referring website, campaign tags in the link you clicked (UTM parameters), and the referral code if a friend shared the page.
- Basic technical data: your country (from Cloudflare), your browser's user-agent, and a one-way hash of your IP address that we use only to block spam. We don't store your IP address itself.
Why we collect it
- To email you about early access and launch, plus occasional short build updates.
- To understand whether CartBuild is worth building, and for which sellers.
- To prevent spam and abuse of the signup form.
Our legal basis is your consent when you join. You can withdraw it at any time.
Who processes it
We don't sell or rent your data. It's stored with Cloudflare, which hosts this site and its database and provides bot protection (Turnstile) and cookieless visit statistics (Web Analytics). If we use an email service to send launch emails, it will receive your email address only for that purpose.
Cookies
This site doesn't set advertising or tracking cookies. Cloudflare may set strictly necessary cookies for security and bot protection.
How long we keep it
We keep waitlist data until launch and for up to 12 months afterwards. If you don't become a customer, we delete it after that.
Your rights
You can ask us to see, correct or delete your data, or to stop emailing you, at any time. Every email we send has an unsubscribe link. To make a request, email [email protected]. If you're in the EU or UK, you can also complain to your local data protection authority.
