How we use your email
This is the privacy notice for Positive’s waitlist. It asks for as little as it can; here is what happens to your answers, in plain words.
Last updated 10 November 2026.
Who runs Positive
Positive is an independent project by Alexis Chatelain, who decides how this data is used (the data controller). Write to hello@positivegarden.app about anything on this page.
What we collect
- Your email address.
- Which phone you use: Android, iPhone or both, if you answer.
- Whether you have used a gratitude or journaling app, if you answer.
- Whether you are happy to chat for 20 minutes, if you tick the box.
- That you agreed to be emailed, and when you joined.
- A scrambled copy of a random code your browser gets when you join, so that only you can add your answers to the two optional questions afterwards.
- Which of two versions of this page you saw (we are testing two ways of describing Positive), and the campaign tags of the link you followed, such as an ad, or “organic” when there are none.
We don’t ask for your name, age or gender, or anything about how you feel.
Why
- To email you once Positive is ready to try, and only then.
- If you ticked the box, to invite you to a 20-minute chat by video or text. Notes from a chat are kept without your name, and nothing is recorded unless you say yes.
- To count which version of the page brought more people. We only look at totals.
We rely on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). You can withdraw it at any time, as easily as you gave it.
Where it is kept
Sign-ups are stored in a database run for us by Cloudflare (Cloudflare D1), kept in the European Union. Cloudflare also hosts this page and, like any web host, handles your IP address to deliver it; we don’t store it. Cloudflare works on our instructions only. We never sell your details, share them with advertisers, or use them for anything else.
No cookies, no trackers
This page sets no cookies and has no Meta pixel, ad tracker or analytics script. To know how many people saw each version, it adds one to a daily total for that version and link source, with no identifier and nothing that could tell us who you are. Your browser remembers which version it showed you (one letter, kept in its local storage) so the page doesn’t change when you come back; that letter never leaves your browser.
How long
We keep your details until six months after Positive launches, then delete them. You can ask us to delete them sooner at any time.
Leaving the list, and your rights
Every email we send tells you how to unsubscribe. You can also write to hello@positivegarden.app to see what we hold about you, correct it, or have it deleted; we’ll do it within 30 days and tell you when it’s done. You can complain to the CNIL or to your own data protection authority.
Who it’s for
The waitlist is for people aged 16 and over. Positive is a wellbeing app, not a medical app.
Changes
If this notice changes, the new version will be on this page with a new date.
