Overview
PortModels currently operates a public informational site, a blog, investor information pages, and an early-access signup flow. This Privacy Policy explains what information we receive through those experiences and how we handle it.
Information We Collect
The information we collect depends on how you interact with the site. It may include:
- Contact details you provide directly, such as your email address and optional name when joining the waitlist or contacting us.
- Submission details you choose to share, such as whether you identify as a builder or user and how you heard about PortModels.
- Basic technical metadata generated by standard web requests, such as IP address, request time, browser information, and page requests.
- Correspondence content when you email us directly.
How We Use Information
We use the information we collect for legitimate operating purposes, including to:
- Manage waitlist signups and early-access requests.
- Respond to questions, investor outreach, and support inquiries.
- Send product, launch, and access-related updates to people who requested them.
- Monitor abuse, prevent fraud, and keep the site functioning reliably.
- Understand broad usage patterns so we can improve site content and onboarding.
Legal Bases and Consent
Where applicable, we process information because you asked us to contact you, because the processing is necessary to operate and secure the site, or because you gave consent by submitting your information for updates or follow-up.
Sharing of Information
We do not sell personal information submitted through this site. We may share information only in limited situations, such as:
- With infrastructure or service providers that help us host, secure, or operate the site.
- When disclosure is required by law, regulation, legal process, or a good-faith safety obligation.
- As part of a business transition such as a merger, financing, acquisition, or asset transfer, subject to applicable confidentiality obligations.
Retention
We keep submitted information only for as long as reasonably necessary for waitlist management, communication, legal compliance, security, and internal recordkeeping. When information is no longer needed, we may delete it or de-identify it.
Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect the information we receive. No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your Choices
You can request updates to or deletion of information you submitted to us, subject to legal and operational limitations. You may also opt out of non-essential email updates by contacting us.
Children's Privacy
This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the public site.
International Use
If you access the site from outside the country where our infrastructure or team operates, your information may be transferred to and processed in other jurisdictions where privacy laws may differ from those in your location.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the last updated date in the page header. Material changes will apply when posted unless a different effective date is stated.
