Privacy policy

The short version

Who we are

Verdict is a research tool for the crude oil market, currently in development and run by its founder in the United States. This policy covers the Verdict waitlist website (this site). “We” and “us” mean Verdict.

What we collect when you join

WhatWhy
Your email addressTo email you when Verdict opens.
What you trade (optional, if you pick one)To understand who is interested, so we build the right things.
Where the link came from (for example a tag like ?src=x in the link you clicked)To see which places people hear about us from.
Your country, worked out by our host from your connectionTo see roughly where interest comes from. We store the country only, not your IP address.
The date and time you joinedTo keep the list in order.

Your browser also keeps a small note on your own device that you’ve joined (in local storage), so the page doesn’t ask you twice. It isn’t sent to us and you can clear it in your browser settings.

What we don’t do

Services that help run this site

A few companies process data for us so the site can work. They act on our instructions and don’t get your email for their own marketing.

These providers may process data outside your country, including in the United States.

How long we keep it

We keep your details until we’ve sent the launch email. If you don’t become a Verdict user, we delete your details within 6 months after that. If you ask us to remove you earlier, we delete them as soon as we can, normally within 30 days.

Your choices

Depending on where you live (for example California, the UK or the EU), you may have extra rights under local law. Contact us and we’ll help.

Security

The waitlist is stored in a private database that only we can access. No system is perfectly secure, but we keep what we collect small and limit who can see it.

Children

Verdict is for adults. The waitlist isn’t meant for anyone under 18, and we delete details we learn came from someone under 18.

Changes

If we change this policy, we’ll update it here and change the date at the top. If a change affects how we use your email, we’ll tell you before it applies.
