Northing

Privacy

Short version: the only personal data we hold is what you typed into the waitlist form, plus the connection details that arrive with it. We don't sell it, we don't share it, and it deletes itself.

Who is responsible for your data

Oran Dynamics is the data controller. Northing is a product of Oran Dynamics, a company established in Ireland, so this site is governed by the GDPR and the Irish Data Protection Acts. The Irish Data Protection Commission is the supervisory authority.

Contact for anything on this page, including deletion requests: [email protected].

What we collect, and when

There is exactly one place on this site that collects personal data: the pilot-batch waitlist form. If you submit it, we store

  • your email address — the reason the form exists;
  • the date and time you signed up;
  • your IP address and the two-letter country code our host derives from it;
  • your browser's user-agent string.

The last two exist to tell real signups from bot submissions and to know roughly where interest is coming from before we commit to shipping regions. We're naming them rather than burying them because an IP address is personal data and pretending otherwise would be the dishonest option.

Browsing the rest of the site collects nothing. There is no contact form, no account, no comments, and nothing to log in to.

Why we're allowed to hold it

Consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)). You give it by submitting the form, having been told at that point what is stored. It is a single-purpose list: one email when the pilot batch opens. Nothing else is sent to it, and it is never passed to anyone else, sold, or used for advertising.

You can withdraw consent at any time, and withdrawing it is as easy as giving it — one email to us, or one click on the unsubscribe link when we do write.

How long we keep it

Until the pilot batch ships, or 24 months from your signup — whichever comes first. The 24-month limit is enforced automatically: each record is written with an expiry, so it is removed by the storage layer whether or not anyone remembers to do it. When the pilot batch ships, the list is purged.

Where it is stored, and who else touches it

Signups are stored on Cloudflare's key-value storage, which also hosts this site. Cloudflare acts as our processor. We have not loaded the list into a mailing platform — when we do, before the first email is sent, that provider becomes a processor too and this page will say so by name.

Cloudflare operates globally, so data may be processed outside the EEA under the standard contractual clauses in their data processing agreement.

Cookies and analytics

This site sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device. We use PostHog to count page views and see how far people get through the page, configured so that it keeps its state in memory for the length of a single page view and writes no cookie or local storage — which is also why you are not being asked to dismiss a consent banner. It does not build a profile of you and does not follow you to other sites.

Our host keeps standard server request logs for security and abuse prevention. Those are Cloudflare's, retained on their schedule, and we do not use them for analytics.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you can ask us to:

  • tell you what we hold about you, and give you a copy;
  • correct it if it's wrong;
  • delete it;
  • stop using it, or restrict how we use it;
  • hand it to you in a portable format.

Email [email protected] from the address you signed up with, and we will action it and confirm within 30 days. There is no charge and you don't have to give a reason — "delete me" is a complete request.

If you think we've handled your data badly, you can complain to the Irish Data Protection Commission at dataprotection.ie.

Children

This is professional survey and guidance equipment. The site is not directed at children and we do not knowingly hold data about anyone under 16.

Changes to this page

If what we collect changes, this page changes first and the date at the top moves. Material changes to a list you're already on — a new purpose, a new processor — get an email, not a silent edit.
