This privacy policy explains how we, AlphaMint, use the personal data we collect from you when you use our website, https://alphamint.io. We take the protection of your personal data very seriously and treat your data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations, particularly the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and this privacy policy.

1. Data Controller

The data controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

The data controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data.

2. What data do we collect and how?

When you visit our beta signup page, you directly provide us with the data we collect. We collect and process data when you:

  • Voluntarily provide your email address in the signup form to join our beta waiting list.
  • Use or view our website, which may involve the use of cookies (see Section 6).

The only personal data we actively collect from you for the beta list is your email address.

3. Purpose and Legal Basis for Data Processing

We collect and use your email address for the sole purpose of sending you updates regarding the development and launch of our app and to notify you when the beta is available. The legal basis for processing your email address for this purpose is your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You provide this consent by actively entering your email address and submitting the form.

4. Data Storage and Security

AlphaMint securely stores your data using a reputable third-party email service provider. We take all reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data from loss, unauthorized access, or misuse.

If this service provider is located outside the European Union (e.g., in the USA), data transfer is secured through legally recognized mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as approved by the European Commission, ensuring a level of data protection compliant with GDPR.

We will keep your email address only for as long as it is necessary for the stated purpose. You can withdraw your consent and request deletion at any time. Once the app is launched and the beta update list is no longer needed, we'll permanently delete your data.
