Privacy
Privacy first, by design.
SocialPoints is built around trust. That starts with handling your data carefully: collect less, explain more, and keep control in your hands.

What this policy covers
This policy explains how the SocialPoints “coming soon” website handles personal data. It covers the waitlist, referral mechanics, and basic site operations. As the product launches, we’ll expand this policy with in‑app privacy controls and clearer detail.
What we collect
Email address
Used to send a confirmation link (double opt‑in), invites, and important launch updates.
Confirmation status
Whether you confirmed your email and when; helps prevent abuse and accidental signups.
Referral data
A random referral code, whether someone joined via your link, and your confirmed referral count.
Waitlist position metadata
Signup order (e.g. “Founding Member #”) and an estimated position derived from time joined and confirmed referrals.
Basic event counts
Privacy‑safe analytics (e.g. page views / form submits / share clicks) without cookies, user IDs, or fingerprinting.
Local device storage (optional)
A small value stored in your browser to show a Founding Member badge on your device. This is not used for cross‑site tracking.
We don’t collect sensitive personal data on this site. We don’t build advertising profiles. We don’t sell your personal data.
How we use your information
- To operate the waitlist and verify signups (double opt‑in).
- To send invites and essential updates about launch and availability.
- To support referral links and calculate confirmed referral counts.
- To show an estimated waitlist position (informational and may change as the waitlist grows).
- To measure whether the site is working (aggregate counts only).
- To prevent abuse and protect the integrity of the waitlist.
Double opt‑in
We use double opt‑in so nobody can add other people to the waitlist without permission. You’re only added after you click the confirmation link sent to your email address.
Referral links
Referral links contain a random code (not personal information). If someone joins using your link, we record that referral and (once they confirm their email) your confirmed referral count may increase.
Referral links do not reveal your email address to other people. Anyone using your link must still confirm their own email address before they are added to the waitlist.
Legal basis (UK GDPR)
Where applicable, we process your email to provide the waitlist service you requested and to send relevant updates. We also rely on legitimate interests to keep the site secure and to understand site performance using minimal analytics.
Sharing and disclosures
We do not sell your personal data. We use trusted service providers to operate the site (for example, email delivery and hosting) and they only process data on our instructions.
We may disclose information if required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of users and the platform.
Where your data is stored
SocialPoints is being built in the UK, and the waitlist infrastructure is hosted in the EU using AWS cloud services. Waitlist data is stored securely using AWS services (such as DynamoDB for the waitlist database and SES for email delivery).
Retention
We keep waitlist emails for as long as needed to run the waitlist and send invites. If you ask us to delete your email, we’ll remove it from the waitlist. We may retain minimal records where required for security, abuse prevention, or legal obligations.
Your choices and rights
- Unsubscribe: launch emails will include an unsubscribe option where applicable.
- Deletion: you can request removal from the waitlist.
- Access/Correction: you can request a copy of what we hold and ask us to correct it.
To exercise these rights, contact us at invites@socialpoints.com.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the waitlist and the site. No system is perfectly secure, but we aim to minimise what we collect so there’s less to lose.
