Privacy Policy

Effective: November 8, 2026

At CIAO, we respect your privacy. This notice explains how we handle personal data when you join the waiting list for our Italian-learning app on ciaoitalian.app.

Operator information: CIAO is currently a pre-launch project. The website operator must publish their legal name and contact information before collecting public signups. For data requests, contact privacy@ciaoitalian.app (mailbox to be activated before launch).

1. Data we collect

When you join the waiting list we collect your email address, submission date/time, form location, chosen site language, landing page URL, and campaign attribution parameters (UTM source, medium, campaign, content and term) when present. Our hosting and security providers may also process technical information such as IP addresses in their own systems.

2. Purpose and legal basis

We use your email to manage the CIAO waiting list, send information about the launch and early access, and understand which channels generate interest in CIAO. For the launch emails, we rely on your affirmative consent, which you can withdraw at any time. We do not sell your email address.

3. Storage and recipients

Waiting-list submissions are stored in Google Sheets. Google provides storage and related infrastructure; Cloudflare provides website hosting and security. We may use an email delivery provider at launch, and this policy will be updated before doing so. These providers may process information in countries other than your own under their applicable safeguards.

4. Retention

We keep waitlist data only as long as reasonably necessary for launch communications and waitlist administration. We review the list after launch and delete entries no longer needed. You may request deletion at any time.

5. Your choices and rights

You can ask us to access, correct or delete your information, withdraw consent, and exercise any other rights available under applicable law. Write to privacy@ciaoitalian.app. We will stop launch-related emails if you withdraw consent.

6. Cookies, analytics and security

This website uses Google Tag Manager (GTM) to manage analytics and marketing tags. The GTM container loads on page visits, while third-party tools configured through it may process device information and set cookies. Consent controls will be configured before enabling optional analytics or advertising tags where legally required. Cloudflare and Google-hosted web fonts are also used.

7. Changes

We may update this notice as CIAO develops. The latest version will always be available on this page.
