Privacy policy

SpotValue is operated by Astrum Forge Studios Pty Ltd (ABN 69 701 688 128), based in Western Australia. In this policy, 'we' and 'us' mean that company. For privacy questions or requests, contact [email protected].

This policy covers the public website and waitlist. There are currently no customer accounts or payments on this site. We will update this policy before introducing those features.

Waitlist: your email address, its waitlist status (pending, invited, or declined), and records associated with signup and email delivery. We use these to confirm your place, invite you when access opens, manage the waitlist, and prevent abuse. You can browse without joining; an email address is needed to receive an invitation.

Enquiries: your email address and anything you choose to include when you contact us. We use this to respond and keep a record of the enquiry. Please do not send identity documents, financial account details, or other sensitive information unless we specifically need it to handle a request.

Website requests: our hosting provider processes technical information, which can include your IP address, browser information, requested pages, and request times, to deliver and protect the site.

Cloudflare Pages hosts this website. The waitlist form sends your email address directly to Clerk, the sign-in provider for the SpotValue platform, which keeps the waitlist and sends the waitlist emails. If you accept an invitation, your account is also held by Clerk. Our email provider also processes messages you send us. These providers handle information needed to deliver their services.

Cloudflare and Clerk are based in the United States and use service providers in other countries. Your information may be processed outside Australia, including in the United States. Their published details are available in Cloudflare's privacy policy, Clerk's privacy policy, and Clerk's subprocessor list.

We do not sell your personal information. We share it as needed to operate these services, respond to your requests, or meet a legal obligation. This policy does not replace our responsibility for information we handle.

The website saves your light or dark appearance choice in your browser's local storage under 'sv_theme'. This preference stays on your device and is not sent to us. You can remove it by clearing site data in your browser.

The site code does not include advertising trackers or website analytics scripts, and the waitlist form sets no cookies. Hosting, sign-in, and email providers still process technical and delivery data as described above, including Clerk's automated bot protection when the form is submitted. Clerk's hosted waitlist and sign-in pages, and the pages you visit after accepting an invitation, may use their own cookies or similar technologies.

The waitlist sends two emails: a confirmation when you join and an invitation when access opens. Both identify SpotValue as the sender. We do not send marketing emails or newsletters to the waitlist; any future newsletter will ask for its own consent.

To leave the waitlist, email [email protected]. We will remove your entry within five working days. You can separately request deletion of any other records.

Information is held electronically in the services used to operate the site, waitlist, and email correspondence. We aim to keep it only as long as needed for the purposes above or to meet legal obligations, then delete or de-identify it. Provider backup copies may remain until their normal deletion cycle.

We take reasonable steps to protect information against unauthorised access, loss, and misuse. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.

Email [email protected] to request access to or correction of your information, request deletion, or raise a privacy concern. Tell us what you need and, where relevant, the email address used to join the waitlist. We may ask for information to confirm the request relates to you, limited to what is needed for that check.

We aim to respond within 30 days. If we need more time, or cannot fulfil a request, we will explain why and what options are available. Deletion may be limited where a record must be retained by law.

If a concern remains unresolved, the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner can explain whether it can consider your complaint and how to make one. Your rights under any applicable privacy law are not limited by this policy.

We will publish changes here with a new date. Where a change materially affects how we handle information already collected, we will provide an appropriate notice and obtain any consent required by law before using it for a new purpose.
