Privacy notice
Last updated 17 August 2026
Draft pending legal review. This notice accurately describes what the site does today, written from the code that does it. It has not yet been reviewed by a lawyer and must be before sign-up opens to the public.
This notice covers noirdeck.dev, the website. It does not describe the noirdeck software itself, which runs entirely on your own machine and sends us nothing.
What we collect
Only what you type into the sign-up form:
- Your name and email address, so we can send your key.
- Your company, if you choose to give it. This field is optional and stays empty if you leave it empty.
- Whether you asked for release emails, and the date and time you asked.
We do not collect your IP address, your browser, your location, or anything about how you use the site. There is no analytics on this website and no advertising. We set no cookies.
Why we hold it
To send you a verification code and your licence key, and, only if you ticked the box, to email you when there is a new release. We rely on your consent. We will not email you about anything else, and we do not sell, rent or share your details with anyone.
Where it is stored
- Cloudflare hosts this site and the database holding sign-ups. The database is provisioned in Cloudflare's Oceania region.
- Amazon Web Services (SES) delivers the email, from the Asia Pacific (Sydney) region.
Both are processors acting on our instructions. Email necessarily travels across networks we do not control in order to reach you.
How long we keep it
Until you ask us to delete it, or until we no longer have a reason to hold it. Verification codes are different: they are stored only as a one-way hash, expire after fifteen minutes, and are destroyed the moment they are used.
Your rights
Under the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020, and under the UK and EU GDPR where those apply to you, you can ask us to:
- tell you what we hold about you, and give you a copy;
- correct anything that is wrong;
- delete it;
- stop emailing you, which you can also do from any message we send.
Email hello@noirdeck.dev and we will action it. You do not have to give a reason. If you are unhappy with how we handle a request you can complain to the New Zealand Office of the Privacy Commissioner, or to your local supervisory authority in the UK or EU.
Security
The site is served over HTTPS. Credentials for sending email are held as encrypted secrets and are not in our source code. Access to the sign-up database is limited to the people who operate the service.
Changes
If we change this notice we will update the date at the top. If a change materially affects how we use your information, we will email you before it takes effect.
