Your email, handled with care.

Who we are

sugarlabs is responsible for the email addresses collected on sugarlabs.io. Questions or requests go to koray@sugarlabs.io.

What we keep

Your email address, when you signed up, and which version of the sign-up wording you agreed to. That’s all. There are no accounts, names or profiles.

To stop automated abuse, we also keep a scrambled, one-way code made from your IP address for up to 24 hours. It can’t be turned back into the address, and it’s never linked to your email.

Why, and on what basis

We use your email for one thing: to tell you when we launch. Our basis is your consent, given when you press “Notify me”. The short-lived abuse check relies on our legitimate interest in keeping the list free of spam.

Who helps us

Cloudflare hosts the site, stores the list in its database in the European Union, and runs the quick bot check (Turnstile) when you sign up. When we launch, our email provider sends the announcement. We don’t sell or share your email with anyone else.

The site uses no analytics, no advertising trackers and no cookies of its own.

How long we keep it

We delete your email within 30 days of sending the launch announcement. If we haven’t launched within 12 months of you signing up, we delete it anyway. Every launch email has a one-click unsubscribe link, which deletes your email straight away.

Your rights

You can ask to see your data, correct it, or have it deleted at any time, and you can withdraw consent whenever you like. Email us and we’ll act within a month. If you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.
