PRIVACY
POLICY.
The short version: we use your email to tell you when SideSprout launches, we set analytics and advertising cookies only with your OK, and we never sell your email address.
WHO WE ARE.
SideSprout is an app for tracking and valuing collections, run by Nerds & Coffee LLC, a Nevada company. This policy covers sidesprout.com while the app is in development. When the app launches, this policy will be updated to cover it.
Questions or requests: gabriel@sidesprout.com.
WHAT WE COLLECT.
Your email address, if you join the launch list. That's the only thing the signup form asks for.
How the site is used, through Google Analytics: pages viewed, how you got here, your device and browser type, and your approximate location from your IP address. Analytics cookies are set only if you allow them (details below).
Server logs: our host, Netlify, records basic request details such as IP address and browser type to run and secure the site.
Your cookie choice: our consent tool, CookieYes, stores your choice in a cookie so we don't ask again on every page.
HOW WE USE IT.
We use your email address only to send one email when SideSprout launches. We don't use it for anything else, and we don't sell it.
We use analytics to see how many people visit and which pages work. If you allow advertising cookies, we may use them to measure and improve our ads.
COOKIES AND YOUR CHOICES.
When you first visit, a banner asks which cookies you allow. Only necessary cookies are on until you choose. You can change your choice at any time in , which is also linked in the footer.
We use Google Consent Mode. If you decline analytics or advertising cookies, Google's tags set no cookies, but they can still send Google basic signals without cookie identifiers (such as that a page loaded and your consent choice), which Google uses to estimate visits in aggregate.
Advertising tools from platforms such as Google, Meta and others load only after you allow advertising cookies. Under some US state laws, using advertising cookies can count as "sharing" or "targeted advertising". You can opt out at any time by turning advertising cookies off in cookie settings.
WHO ELSE HANDLES IT.
We use a few service providers to run the site, and they process data on our behalf: Netlify (hosting and the signup form), Google (Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, and the email account that receives signup notifications) and CookieYes (the cookie banner). Advertising platforms receive data only if you allow advertising cookies.
We may also share information if the law requires it, or with a buyer if SideSprout is ever sold, under this policy.
HOW LONG WE KEEP IT.
We keep your email address until we send the launch email, and for as long as the launch list exists after that, unless you ask us to delete it sooner. Analytics data is kept for a limited period set in our Google Analytics account.
YOUR RIGHTS.
You can ask to see, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to be removed from the launch list, by emailing gabriel@sidesprout.com. Depending on where you live, you may have more rights, such as objecting to processing or complaining to your local data protection authority. We won't treat you differently for using them.
WHERE IT'S STORED.
SideSprout is based in the United States, and the services we use store data in the United States and other countries. If you visit from outside the US, your information is transferred to and processed there.
CHILDREN.
This site isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information. If you think a child has joined the launch list, email us and we'll delete it.
CHANGES.
If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top of this page. If a change affects how we use your email address, we'll tell you before it applies.
