Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how SmokiesApp (“SmokiesApp,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit our website or join our waitlist. By using this site, you agree to the practices described here.

Information we collect

We only collect the information you choose to give us. When you join the visitor waitlist or the business partner waitlist, that includes:

• Email address — required, so we can notify you when SmokiesApp launches.
• Phone number — optional, used only if you want a launch-day text message.
• Signup source — which page you signed up from (for example, the homepage or the business page), so we understand interest.

We may also collect standard technical information such as your browser and device type and the pages you view, through basic server logs.

Cookies and analytics

We use a product-analytics service (PostHog) to understand how visitors use the site — for example, which pages are viewed and which messaging resonates. This uses cookies or similar local storage and collects usage data such as the pages you visit, an approximate location derived from your IP address, and your device and browser type. We use this in aggregate to improve the site; we do not use it to build advertising profiles, and we do not sell it.

You can limit this through your browser settings (for example, by blocking cookies) or privacy features such as “Do Not Track.”

How we use your information

We use the information you provide to:

• Notify you when SmokiesApp becomes available in the app stores;
• Send occasional updates about the launch and early access;
• Respond to inquiries from prospective business partners;
• Improve our website and understand which messaging resonates.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not send marketing texts unless you provided a phone number for that purpose.

How we share information

We share your information only with service providers that help us operate the site and communicate with you (for example, hosting and email or messaging providers), and only as needed to provide those services. We may also disclose information where required by law.

Data retention

We keep waitlist information until SmokiesApp launches and for a reasonable period afterward to send launch communications, or until you ask us to remove it.

Your choices

You can ask us to access, correct, or delete the information we hold about you, and you can opt out of further communications at any time. To make a request, contact us using the details below.

Children’s privacy

Our website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above.
