Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:
- Contact information, such as your name and email address.

- Device and usage information, such as IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages viewed, referring pages, and approximate location derived from your IP address.

We collect information directly from you, automatically through our website and service providers, and from business partners when permitted by law.
2. How we use personal information
We may use personal information to operate and improve our website; manage the waitlist; send product news and marketing communications you requested; respond to wholesale, partnership, press, investor, and general inquiries; maintain security and prevent fraud; comply with legal obligations; and protect our rights and the rights of others.
3. How we disclose personal information
We may disclose personal information to service providers that help us host the website, manage customer relationships and email, analyze performance, provide security, and operate our business. We may also disclose information in connection with a financing, merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar transaction; when required by law; or when necessary to protect rights, safety, and security.
We do not sell personal information for money. If our practices change in a way that is treated as a "sale," "sharing," or targeted advertising under an applicable U.S. state privacy law, we will provide the notices and choices required by that law.
4. Cookies and similar technologies
Our website and its service providers may use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the site to function, remember preferences, measure traffic, and understand how visitors use the site. Your browser may let you block or delete cookies, although parts of the site may not work properly as a result.
5. Email communications
If you join the waitlist, we may send you launch news, product updates, and other marketing emails. You can unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any marketing email. We may still send non-marketing messages when necessary to respond to you or administer our relationship.
6. Retention and security
We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including to meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
7. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live and subject to applicable law, you may have the right to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or a copy of certain personal information; to opt out of certain uses or disclosures; and to appeal our decision about a request. You may also have the right not to receive discriminatory treatment for exercising a privacy right.
