Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2, 2026
own.audio is a private, DRM-free audio library for families, currently in development. Right now, the only personal information this site collects is what you give us if you join the pre-launch waitlist: your name and email address. This policy explains what that means.
Who's responsible for your data
own.audio is operated by Kornel Maráz. For anything to do with your data — questions, requests, or complaints — email [email protected].
What we collect
When you register for the waitlist, we collect the name and email address you enter. We also automatically process your IP address at the moment you submit the form, solely through Cloudflare Turnstile, to verify you're not a bot. We don't ask for anything else, and the site has no accounts, no payments, and no product to use yet.
Why we collect it, and on what basis
We use your name and email only to email you when own.audio launches, and to determine whether you're one of the first 100 registrants who qualify for the $5 launch credit. We process this data on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) — you actively opt in by checking the consent box before submitting the form, and you can withdraw that consent at any time by asking us to delete your data.
How long we keep it
We keep your registration until own.audio launches and for up to 12 months afterward, or until you ask us to delete it — whichever comes first. If own.audio doesn't launch, or these plans change materially, we'll delete waitlist data we no longer have a reason to hold.
Who has access
Nobody but us. We do not sell, rent, forward, or share your name or email with any third party, and we don't use it for anything beyond the purpose above — no marketing lists, no analytics profiles, no advertising. The only parties involved in handling this data are infrastructure we run on, acting strictly as processors on our instructions:
- Cloudflare — hosts the database your registration is stored in (Cloudflare D1, in the EU region) and this website.
- Cloudflare Turnstile — verifies you're not a bot when you submit the form; see Cloudflare's Turnstile privacy notice.
- Our own mail server — sends the confirmation email; it isn't operated by a third party.
Where it's stored
Your registration is stored in Cloudflare D1 in the EU region. We haven't transferred any waitlist data outside the EU/EEA.
Cookies and tracking
This site doesn't use cookies, analytics, or advertising trackers of any kind — which is also why it has no cookie banner. Cloudflare Turnstile may set a short-lived technical cookie solely to complete the bot check when you submit the waitlist form; it isn't used to track you.
Your rights
Under GDPR, you can ask us to: give you a copy of the data we hold on you (access), correct it (rectification), delete it (erasure), limit how we use it (restriction), object to our use of it, or receive it in a portable format. You can also withdraw your consent at any time, which stops future emails and triggers deletion. To exercise any of these, email [email protected] — we'll respond within a reasonable time. If you're not satisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.
Security
Your data is stored on Cloudflare's infrastructure, encrypted at rest. Access to the underlying database is restricted to the account holder operating own.audio.
Children
own.audio's waitlist isn't directed at children, and we don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has registered without appropriate consent, contact us and we'll remove the registration.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes, we'll update it here with a new "last updated" date. Once own.audio itself launches, this policy will be expanded to cover the product, not just the waitlist.
