Privacy notice

Version 1 · Last updated [publish date]

This notice covers the two forms on this website: early access and “Share your story.” It doesn’t cover the Saga app, which is still in development. What you add to Saga will live on your iPhone and in your iCloud, and only you will decide who sees it. This website doesn’t hold it.

Who’s responsible

[Controller: legal name, postal address, contact email] (“Saga,” “we”) decides how this data is used and answers for it.

What we collect, and why

Early access. Your email address, the date you signed up, where on the page you signed up (the header, the closing section, or the updates box in “Share your story”), and the choices you made in the form. We use your email only for what you chose: to tell you when Saga is ready, to send occasional updates, or to invite you to an interview or an early version.

Share your story. Your answers to the questions, anything you write in the free-text field, and, only if you leave it, your email. We read the answers to understand what people need and to shape Saga. If you leave your email, we may contact you about the research options you chose, such as an interview or an early version. If you tick the updates box, we also send you Saga updates.

Please don’t include sensitive details about yourself or others, such as health, religion, or the private lives of relatives.

We don’t store your IP address. We use no analytics, no ad trackers, and no third-party cookies.

Legal basis [legal review]

  • Telling you when Saga is ready: your request. Pressing “Get early access” is how you ask for it, and the launch notice is what you get. You can unsubscribe at any time.
  • Updates and research contact: your consent, given only if you tick them. You can withdraw it at any time.
  • Reading and keeping your story answers: our legitimate interest in understanding people’s needs and improving Saga. You can object at any time: ask us and we’ll delete your answers.

Who handles it for us

  • Cloudflare hosts the website and receives the forms. Like any web host, it sees your IP address to deliver the page and protect the site; we don’t keep it.
  • Supabase stores the form data, in [region].
  • An email service, [provider], sends updates, in [region].

They process the data only on our instructions. We never sell your data, share it for advertising, or use it to profile you.

How long we keep it

  • Early-access email, if you chose only “Tell me when Saga is ready”: deleted once we’ve told you, within [30 days] of that email, or sooner if you unsubscribe.
  • Early-access email, if you also chose updates or research contact: until 12 months after Saga launches, or until you unsubscribe, whichever comes first.
  • The signup date, where you signed up and your choices are deleted with the email.
  • Story answers: 24 months from when you send them, then deleted.
  • Email left with your story: deleted when research contact ends: when you ask, when the research you chose is over, or at 24 months at the latest. If you ticked the updates box, your email moves to the updates list and follows the early-access rule.

Your rights

You can ask us to show you the data we hold about you, correct it, delete it, or stop using it. You can withdraw consent at any time and unsubscribe from any email we send [unsubscribe method: a one-click link, once the email service is chosen]. We reply within [one month legal review].

To do any of this, email [contact email]. If you’re not happy with our answer, you can complain to your data protection authority, such as [supervisory authority].

Changes

If this notice changes, we’ll update the version and date above. If a change affects how we use your email, we’ll tell you first.

Share your story

Every family has a story. We’d love to hear yours.

Maybe you’ve wanted to preserve your own memories for your children or grandchildren. Maybe existing tools feel too complicated, or family history has never felt quite personal enough.

Tell us what matters to you. Your experience can help shape Saga.

1. What brings you to Saga?

Choose the option that feels closest to your experience.

2. What’s been difficult about preserving family history?

Choose any that apply.

In your own words, tell us what you’d like to be able to do, or what has frustrated you about existing tools.

4. Would you be willing to help us shape Saga?

Stay in touch

If you’d like us to follow up about your answers, leave your email.

Privacy and consent

We read your answers to understand people’s needs and improve Saga. Please don’t include sensitive personal information about yourself or other people.

If you choose to leave your email, Saga may contact you about the research options you selected. You can decline any invitation, and your participation is always optional.
