Privacy Policy
| May 27, 2026

Introduction

Catosphere LLC ("we", "our", or "us") operates the website and waitlist platform located at https://catosphere.io or https://catosphere.io (the "Site"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our Site, sign up for our waitlist, or subscribe to our blog.

1. Information We Collect

We only collect information that you voluntarily provide to us or that is generated automatically by your interaction with the Site.

1.1. Personal Data You Provide

Waitlist Sign-Up & Subscriptions: When you join our waitlist or subscribe to our blog updates, we collect your email address.
Survey Responses: When joining the waitlist, you may choose to complete a short, optional survay regarding your financial software interests, goals, and feedback. We collect the answers you provide to help shape our product development.
Referral Tracking: If you join our waitlist via a referral link, or share your own referral link with others, we track these connections to calculate any applicable offers such as referral bonuses, discounts, or other incentives. You will be enrolled in these offers retroactively even if none were applicable when you joined the waitlist.

1.2. Automatically Collected Data

Site Analytics (Cloudflare): We utilize Cloudflare Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our Site. This includes general, non-personally-identifiable data such as your browser type, operating system, general geographic location (country/city level) referral traffic sources, and the pages you view. This data is used exclusively to optimize performance, monitor security, and improve user experience.

2. How We Use Your Information

We user the information we collect strictly to manage our relationship with you and build a better platform. Specifically, we use your data to:

Manage, update, and maintain your position on our product waitlist.
Send you email notifications, product roadmap updates, and blog articles you have subscribed to.
Analyze user preferences via our optional entry surveys to guide our engineering and design choices.
Monitor site security, mitigate automated bot sign-ups, and ensure performance stability via Cloudflare.

We do not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal information with third parties for any purposes.

Your data is only processed using our internal infrastructure and core technology partners necessary to host and secure this Site.

Infrastructure & Analytics Partners: We use Cloudflare to route, secure, and analyze web traffic. Cloudflare processes data strictly in accordance with their privacy standards to protect our infrastructure from threats.
Legal Compliance: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or government regulation, or if we believe such action is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Catosphere LLC or our users.

4. Local Device Storage

We do not use tracking cookies, and we do not run third-party advertising pixels to track your behavior across the web.

To provide a seamless user experience, we use your browser's Local Storage (localStorage) strictly for basic interface functionality. For example, we may save your preferences, such as a selection you made in a dropdown menu or a combobox, directly on your own device. This ensures the Site remembers the configuration you left it in when you return. This data remains on your personal computer, is not used for tracking or profiling, and is never transmitted to our servers.

5. Children's Privacy

Our Site and future platform tools are designed for adults managing personal finance and investments. We do not intentionally verify or track user ages during waitlist sign-ups, nor do we knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected data from a child under 13, please contact us immediately, and we will delete that data from our servers.

6. Your Rights and Data Control

We believe you should have total control over your digital footprint. Depending on your location, you may have explicit rights under privacy laws (such as the CCPA or GDPR) to manage your data. We extend these rights to all users:

Opt-Out: You can unsubscribe from our blog or waitlist emails at any time by clicking the "Unsubscribe" link at the bottom of any email we send.
Data Erasure: You may request that we completely erase your email address, survey data, and waitlist history from our active records.
Access: You can request a summary of the personal information we hold about you.

To exercise any of these rights, simply click the "My Data" link at the bottom of any email we send.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our software ecosystem, regulatory requirements, or data practices. We will notify you of any material updates by email. All versions of this privacy policy are available on our website at /legalese/privacy-policy/.

For formal legal notices or contractual inquiries under these Terms, you may reach our legal team at [email protected].
