1. Who We Are
AppVolume is a project by brute4. We’re building a lightweight per-application volume controller for macOS and are currently inviting users to join our waitlist for early access.
2. Information We Collect
When you join our waitlist, we collect only your email address. We do not ask for names, passwords, or payment details.
3. How We Use Your Information
- Notify you when AppVolume launches or enters beta access.
- Send occasional updates about development progress and product news.
- Manage the waitlist and track interest (in aggregate).
We do not sell or rent your email address to anyone.
4. How We Store and Protect Your Data
At this early stage, your email address is collected and stored securely via ProtonMail, which provides end-to-end encryption and zero-access storage.
If we move to a dedicated email provider (e.g., Mailchimp or ConvertKit), this policy will be updated accordingly.
5. Retention and Deletion
We retain your email until you unsubscribe or we discontinue the waitlist. If you unsubscribe or request deletion, we remove your email from our records.
6. Your Rights
- Access, correct, or delete your personal data.
- Withdraw consent (unsubscribe) at any time.
- Lodge a complaint under GDPR or CCPA, as applicable.
