Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 23, 2026

This policy explains what we collect when you request access to QuantForge, why, and the control you have over it. It covers the waitlist and marketing site only — not the QuantForge application itself, which is covered by its own terms.

Who we are What we collect What we don't How we use it Referrals Who we share with Cookies Your rights Retention Contact

01Who we are

QuantForge (“we”, “us”) is operated by quantforgeapp.com. This site collects a small amount of information so we can send you a private-preview invite and run a referral program. We are the data controller for that information. If you are in the EEA or UK, terms like “controller”, “consent”, and “legitimate interest” below are used in their GDPR / UK-GDPR sense.

02What we collect

Data	Why
Email address	To send your verification code, your invite, and occasional preview updates. This is the only thing you must give us.
Name	Optional; used to address our emails to you. Leave it blank and we simply won't use a name.
Verification status	A 6-digit code confirms the address is really yours — this is what makes a referral “verified” and blocks fake signups.
Referral attribution	If you arrived through someone's referral link or a link we shared, we record that so credit goes to the right person and we learn which channels work.
Referral points & place in line	When you joined and your referral points, so we can show your place in line and prioritise invites.
Request metadata	Basic technical information about your request, such as your IP address and the time. Used only to keep the list secure and free of fraud and abuse. Not used to profile or track you across the web.
Aggregate analytics	Privacy-friendly, cookieless page analytics (counts, referrers, which channel converted). No cross-site tracking, no advertising networks, no fingerprinting.

03What we deliberately don't collect

No brokerage credentials. Joining the waitlist never touches a brokerage, and this site never asks for brokerage credentials.
No harvesting your friends. Referrals are link-based. When you share your link we do not upload, store, or email your contacts. A referred person's email is captured only if they choose to sign up themselves.
No selling or renting data, and no sharing with advertisers — ever.

04How we use it & our legal basis

Send your invite and preview updates — on the basis of your consent (given when you submit your email). You can withdraw it anytime via the one-click unsubscribe in every email.
Run the referral program — to operate the service you asked to join.
Prevent fraud and abuse — on the basis of our legitimate interest in keeping the list real and the system secure.
Understand which channels work — using aggregate, privacy-friendly analytics that don't identify you individually.

05The referral program

If you share your referral link, please tell people plainly that you get a perk if they join (our share tools pre-fill that disclosure for you). We record a referral as verified only after the referred person confirms their own email. Referral points have no cash value and exist to prioritise invites; we may disqualify signups or referrals that appear fraudulent.

06Who processes data for us

We use trusted service providers to host this site and to send our emails. They process your information only on our behalf and only to provide those services, under confidentiality and data-protection obligations. We do not sell your information.

Your information may be processed in the United States. For EEA/UK visitors, transfers rely on appropriate safeguards. We may also disclose information if required by law.

07Cookies & local storage

We keep this light. Your browser's local storage remembers your own waitlist state (so you don't re-enter your email on return). Our bot-check may set what it needs to work. Our analytics are cookieless. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

08Your choices & rights

Unsubscribe anytime — one click in any email, honoured promptly.
Access, correct, or delete your data — email us and we'll action it. Deleting removes you from the list and from our referral records.
EEA/UK residents also have the rights to object, restrict, and port data, and to complain to your local data-protection authority.
California residents: we do not sell or “share” personal information as those terms are defined under the CCPA/CPRA.

Exercise any of these by writing to hello@quantforgeapp.com.

09Retention & children

We keep your waitlist data until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it, or until the private-access program ends and we no longer need it — whichever comes first. QuantForge is not directed to anyone under 18, and we don't knowingly collect data from minors.

10Changes & contact

If we materially change this policy we'll update the date above and, for significant changes, tell waitlist members by email. Questions or requests: hello@quantforgeapp.com.
