Privacy Policy

Data controller

The controller of the data collected on this site and in the app is Denis Cadamuro, reachable at privacy [at] eteext [dot] com.

Data collected

Waitlist and newsletter. If you sign up through the form on this site, we collect your email address (provided voluntarily), the language of the site you use (so we can contact you in that language), and technical data proving your consent (date and time of sign-up, possibly IP address), recorded by our email provider.

App account. If you create an ETeext account, we collect your email address (used to sign in with a 6-digit code sent by email, or Google Sign-In) and account information needed to operate the service: your subscription status (trial, free, or PRO), trial and subscription dates, and account creation date.

Payments. If you subscribe to ETeext PRO, payment is handled by Paddle, our Merchant of Record. Paddle collects and processes your payment details (card or other payment method, billing address, country for tax purposes). We never see or store your card details. We only receive from Paddle the information needed to activate your subscription: a customer reference, a subscription reference, and its status and renewal dates.

AI features. The optional AI features use your own Google Gemini API key. That key is stored locally on your device only. It is never transmitted to or stored on our servers.

Your texts. The texts you type and style in ETeext are processed on your device. We do not collect, store, or read them.

No other personal data is requested or collected.

Purpose

• Waitlist email: to notify you when ETeext launches, and for nothing else.
• Account data: to operate your account, apply the correct plan (trial, free, PRO), and secure sign-in.
• Payment references: to activate, renew, or end your PRO subscription.

Legal basis

• Waitlist: your explicit consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you can withdraw at any time.
• Account and subscription data: performance of a contract (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR) — this data is necessary to provide the service you signed up for.

Recipients and processors

Your data is processed by providers acting as processors or independent controllers:

• Supabase (account database and authentication). Your account data is hosted in the European Union.
• Paddle (payments, as Merchant of Record). Paddle acts as the seller for your PRO subscription and processes your payment data under its own privacy policy, available at paddle.com. When you start a payment, Paddle also loads ProfitWell (sold under the name Paddle Retain), a subscription analytics service whose servers are located in the United States: your IP address and your browser’s technical details reach it as a result. This service is not loaded if you do not start a payment.
• Loops (email service, established in the United States: waitlist data is hosted and processed there. For individuals residing in the European Union, this storage constitutes a transfer outside the EU, under appropriate safeguards — Standard Contractual Clauses and the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework).
• Resend (email delivery service, established in the United States: when the contact form is used, the sender's name, email address and message are routed through Resend to reach us. For individuals residing in the European Union, this constitutes a transfer outside the EU, under appropriate safeguards — Standard Contractual Clauses).
• Cloudflare (website hosting, anti-spam protection of the form via Turnstile, and technical handling of the submission).
• Google (only if you choose Google Sign-In, or if you use the AI features with your own Gemini key, under Google's own terms).

Your data is never sold, transferred, or rented to third parties for commercial purposes.

Data retention

• Waitlist email: kept until the app launches (plus a short period to inform you), or until you withdraw your consent — whichever comes first.
• Account data: kept as long as your account exists. If you delete your account, your data is deleted, subject to legal retention obligations (e.g. billing records kept by Paddle).

Your rights

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights: access, rectification, erasure, withdrawal of consent, objection, and portability of your data. To exercise them, use our contact form or write to privacy [at] eteext [dot] com. Every marketing email you receive also includes an immediate unsubscribe link.

Complaint

If you believe your rights are not being respected, you can lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority — in France, the CNIL (www.cnil.fr).

Cookies

This site does not use tracking or advertising cookies. Language detection relies on the preferences sent by your browser. The app stores technical preferences (such as language and your locally stored settings) on your device only.
