Privacy policy
This policy covers the Margen website, getmargen.app, and its waitlist. The Margen app has its own policy.
Questions or requests: hello@getmargen.app.
What we collect
When you join the waitlist, we store:
- the email address you enter — for Boox owners this is the Google account signed in on the tablet, because we need it to add you to the Google Play closed test;
- the answers you give in the form: your Boox model, or the tablet you write on if it isn't a Boox (as you type it), where you'd like your notes to go, and what you mostly write;
- where your visit came from: the website that linked to us (its name only, not the full address), the campaign tag in the link if it had one, and the first page you opened on getmargen.app. Your browser keeps this only until you close the tab, and sends it with the form;
- when you signed up and when you last updated your answers.
That is all the form stores. We don't ask for your name, and we don't use advertising or tracking cookies.
Like any website, our hosting provider processes your IP address and browser details to serve the page, block abuse and check the form isn't submitted by a bot. We also count visits with Cloudflare Web Analytics, which sets no cookies and doesn't identify you.
To see how the page is used, we run Microsoft Clarity on it, set so it stores no cookies. It records clicks, scrolling and mouse movement, which we view as heatmaps and anonymous replays of a visit. What you type into the form is masked and never reaches Clarity, and each visit is kept separate, so Clarity can't tell whether you've been here before. Clarity keeps this data for up to 13 months (30 days for replays).
Why we use it
| Purpose | Data | Legal basis (GDPR) |
|---|---|---|
| Tell you when there's a place for you, and send a confirmation that you joined | Email, form answers | Your consent, art. 6(1)(a) |
| Add you to the Google Play closed test of the app, when you join it | Email, Boox model | Your consent, art. 6(1)(a) |
| Decide who to invite first and what to build (for example, which Boox models or other tablets to support) | Form answers | Your consent, art. 6(1)(a) |
| Keep the site running and protect the form from spam and abuse | IP address, browser details | Legitimate interest, art. 6(1)(f) |
| Count visits | Aggregate, cookieless page views | Legitimate interest, art. 6(1)(f) |
| Improve the page (heatmaps and replays) | Clicks, scrolling, mouse movement, browser and device details, IP address | Legitimate interest, art. 6(1)(f) |
We will not sell your data or share it with advertisers, and we will not email you about anything other than Margen.
Who processes it for us
- Cloudflare hosts the site and the waitlist database, runs the bot check (Turnstile) and provides the visit counts (Web Analytics).
- Resend sends our emails, from its EU (Ireland) region.
- Microsoft provides Clarity, the page heatmaps and replays.
All three are US companies and may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where they do, the transfer is covered by the EU–US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.
How long we keep it
We keep your waitlist entry until 12 months after Margen launches publicly, then delete it. If you leave the list sooner, we delete your entry straight away.
Your rights
You can ask us to show you, correct, export or delete your data, or to stop using it. You can withdraw your consent at any time; that doesn't affect anything we did before. To leave the waitlist, use the link in any email from us, or write to hello@getmargen.app. We answer within one month.
If you think we've handled your data wrongly, you can complain to a data protection authority, in Spain the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top. If a change affects how we use the data you've already given us, we'll email you first.
