Privacy

Who is responsible
Raúl Alonso Pardo, as an individual, runs this waitlist for the Erasmates project. Contact for anything about your data: privacy@erasmates.eu.
What we collect
When you join the waitlist:
- your email address (required: it is how we tell you when the app opens);
- the city you are going to, its country if you picked it from the list, and the term you are going;
- the consent text you agreed to and when you agreed;
- your browser language and where you came from (the website that linked here, or a campaign tag in the link);
- a one-way, keyed hash of your IP address. We never store the address itself. The hash lets us stop one person from signing up hundreds of times.
The site uses no cookies, no analytics, no advertising and no third-party scripts, fonts or maps. Our hosts keep ordinary technical request logs (which include IP addresses) for a short period to run and protect the service.
Why, and on what legal basis
To email you once when the Erasmates app opens for your city, and to understand which cities have demand. The legal basis is your consent (GDPR Art. 6.1.a), which you give by ticking the box. The hashed IP and the technical logs rely on our legitimate interest in keeping the form free from abuse (Art. 6.1.f).
If you are asked to confirm your email, we send one message with a link. If you never click it, we treat your signup as unconfirmed and do not use it for anything beyond that.
How long
Until the launch emails are sent, or 12 months after you sign up at most, or until you ask us to delete it, whichever comes first. The IP hash is erased after 30 days. Signups older than 12 months are deleted automatically.
Who else sees it
- Vercel Inc. serves this website. Like any web host it sees the IP address of each visit in its technical logs. It acts as our processor.
- Railway Corporation runs the signup service and the database that holds your signup, in its EU West region (Amsterdam). It acts as our processor.
- Resend delivers the confirmation email when that step is switched on. It receives your email address and the message. It acts as our processor.
The companies above are US-based, so some access from outside the EU/EEA is possible; they rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework and/or Standard Contractual Clauses. We do not sell your data, share it with advertisers or use it to profile you. No automated decision about you is made.
Your rights
You can ask for access to your data, correction, deletion, restriction, a portable copy, object to its use, and withdraw your consent at any time (withdrawing does not affect what happened before). Write to privacy@erasmates.eu from the address you signed up with; we answer within one month. You can also complain to your data protection authority; in Spain that is the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos.
Age
This waitlist is for people aged 16 or over.
