Privacy notice

This notice covers the Honu pages at honu.afixt.com and the email list you can join from them. It explains what we collect, why, who else handles it, and what you can ask us to do with it.

It does not cover the Honu product itself. The product will have its own terms and privacy notice when it is ready.

AFixt, LLC is responsible for this information (the “controller”, in data protection terms). For anything about your data, email privacy@afixt.com.

When you sign up for updates, we collect:

• Your email address, so we can send you updates about Honu.
• Why you're interested, if you choose to tell us. This is optional. It helps us decide what to build and what to write about.

Mailchimp, which runs the list for us, also records the date, time and IP address of your signup and of your confirmation. That record shows you asked to join.

Mailchimp can record whether you open our emails and which links you click. We use that to find out which updates are useful. We don't use it to profile you, and we don't combine it with information from anywhere else.

We only send you updates because you asked for them. Under the GDPR and UK GDPR, our legal basis is your consent. You can withdraw it at any time.

When you submit the form, your browser goes to a Mailchimp page. Mailchimp may ask you to confirm you're not a bot. That check uses Google reCAPTCHA, which Google provides and which runs on Mailchimp's page, not on these pages. Mailchimp then sends you an email with a confirmation link.

You're only added to the list once you click that link. If you don't, we won't send you anything.

To keep automated signups out, the form has a hidden field that people never see and that bots tend to fill in, and it checks in your browser that the form wasn't submitted within moments of the page loading. Neither check uses a third-party service or stores anything about you.

We don't sell your information. We don't share it with anyone for their own marketing.

These service providers handle it on our behalf:

• Mailchimp (Intuit Inc.) stores the list and sends our emails.
• DigitalOcean hosts these pages. Like most web hosts, its servers log requests, including your IP address and browser type. It uses them to deliver the pages and keep them secure.
• Cloudflare delivers these pages and protects them from attacks. To do that, it processes each request, including your IP address and browser type.

These providers are based in the United States, so your information may be handled there. If you're in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, it's protected when it leaves by the safeguards in each provider's data processing terms, such as Standard Contractual Clauses.

These pages set no cookies, run no analytics and load nothing from other websites. Everything they collect is described on this page.

Links from these pages to afixt.com carry campaign tags in the link address (for example utm_source=honu). The tags say which Honu link was followed. They contain nothing about you, and these pages record nothing when you follow them.

Mailchimp's signup and confirmation pages are run by Mailchimp and may set their own cookies, as may Google's reCAPTCHA check on the signup page.

We keep your email address and your answer for as long as you're on the list.

Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link. When you unsubscribe, Mailchimp keeps your address marked as unsubscribed, so we don't email you again by mistake. If you want it deleted completely, email privacy@afixt.com and we'll permanently delete it.

You can ask us to:

• show you the information we hold about you
• correct it
• delete it
• stop using it, or limit how we use it
• give it to you in a portable format

Email privacy@afixt.com. We'll reply within one month.

If you're in the EEA or the UK, you can also complain to your data protection authority. In the UK, that's the Information Commissioner's Office. We'd appreciate the chance to sort it out first.

If you're in California, you have similar rights under the CCPA, and we won't treat you differently for using them. We don't sell or share personal information as the CCPA defines those terms.

These pages and the email list are for professionals. They aren't intended for anyone under 16, and we don't knowingly collect information from children.

If we change how we handle your information, we'll update this page and the date at the top. If the change is significant, we'll tell people on the list by email before it takes effect.
