Privacy Policy
What personal data the Nightclerk website collects, why, who sees it, and what you can do about it. The short version: your email address if you join the waitlist, and the technical data any website needs to load.

Who we are
The Nightclerk website is operated by an individual based in Pennsylvania, United States. We decide how the personal data described here is used, which makes us its controller. For anything about your data, write to [email protected].
This policy covers the website and its waitlist. It does not cover the Nightclerk product, which is not available yet and will have its own policy.
What we collect
- Your email address, if you join the waitlist. You give it to us yourself.
- Technical data that is processed automatically when you load a page or join the waitlist: your IP address, browser and device type, the pages requested and the time. This is what lets the site be delivered and kept secure.
- A check that you are not a script, when you use the waitlist form. We use Cloudflare Turnstile, which runs in the background without showing anything. It processes technical signals such as your IP address, your browser's user agent and details of the connection, to tell people from automated traffic. Cloudflare says it uses these signals to detect and block bots and to improve Turnstile, not to identify or profile you. How it handles that data is described in its Turnstile Privacy Addendum.
- Visit statistics from Cloudflare Web Analytics, a privacy-focused analytics tool that sets no cookies and does not identify you. It reports the pages viewed, the site you came from, your country, and your browser and device type, as totals.
- Messages you send us, if you email us, along with your address.
The site has no accounts and takes no payments. It does not use advertising or tracking cookies, and we do not buy data about you from anyone.
How we use it, and on what basis
- Waitlist email address: to tell you when access to Nightclerk opens and to send you product updates while you wait. We rely on your consent, which you give by joining and can withdraw at any time.
- Technical data and visit statistics: to deliver the site, keep it secure, fix problems and understand which pages are useful. We rely on our legitimate interest in running a working, safe website.
- Messages: to reply to you. We rely on our legitimate interest in answering people who contact us.
Transfers to other countries
We are based in the United States, and the companies above process data in the United States and in other countries. If you are outside the United States, your data will be transferred to and processed there. Where the law requires it, those transfers rely on recognised safeguards, such as the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses offered by our providers.
How long we keep it
- Waitlist email address: until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. We then remove it from our database.
- Technical data and visit statistics: Cloudflare keeps what it collects according to its own retention schedule. Our own server keeps request logs only as long as needed to keep the service secure.
- Messages: for as long as we need them to deal with your request.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you can ask us to:
- tell you what data we hold about you and give you a copy;
- correct it or delete it;
- stop or limit how we use it;
- send it to you or to someone else in a portable format.
You can withdraw your consent to our emails at any time, either with the unsubscribe link in any email or by writing to [email protected]. We answer requests within the time the law allows, usually one month. We may ask you to confirm that the address is yours first, and we will never treat you differently for making a request.
If you are in the EEA or the UK and think we have handled your data wrongly, you can complain to your local data protection authority. If you are in California or another US state with a privacy law, you have the right to know, correct and delete your personal information, and to know that we do not sell it or share it for advertising.
Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect personal data, including encrypted connections to the site. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot promise absolute security.
Children
The site is meant for people running a business and is not intended for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you think a child has given us their details, write to us and we will delete them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the product develops. The date at the top shows the latest version. If a change affects how we use data we already hold, we will tell people on the waitlist by email before it takes effect.
