Privacy Policy

About this policy

Failoverly is an independent software project. This policy explains how we handle information on failoverly.app. It covers this website; the future macOS app and VPN service will have their own privacy information before launch.

Information we handle

When you visit, hosting infrastructure receives technical information such as your IP address, browser information, requested page, and request time. This information may be logged to deliver the website, keep it reliable, and protect against abuse.

If you email us, we use your email address and the information in your message to respond and handle your request.

When you join the waitlist, we use your email address to manage your signup and send you the Failoverly launch announcement. Kit provides the signup form and email service. You can unsubscribe using the link in our emails or contact us to request removal.

Cookies and tracking

We use Vercel Web Analytics to measure page views, referral sources, and aggregated statistics about visitors’ countries, devices, and browsers without analytics cookies. We remove query strings and URL fragments from the page URLs sent to Vercel and do not send email addresses or form contents to Vercel. See Vercel’s analytics privacy information.

The signup forms are included in our website’s HTML. We load Kit’s form script without cross-origin credentials, so that script download does not include cookies for Kit’s domain. Kit receives technical information such as your IP address and browser information when its resources load. Its form script also reports form visits, the referring page, and campaign parameters in the page URL (such as UTM tags) to help attribute signups, and uses browser local storage for a visitor identifier and signup status. Kit handles submitted signup information. Its hosted forms or security checks may use cookies to protect against automated abuse.

If you choose Allow in our advertising cookie controls, we load Meta Pixel to measure visits and advertising results. It sends a PageView event and, if you submit the waitlist form successfully, a Lead event. Lead means Kit accepted the submission, not that you confirmed your email subscription. We do not supply your email address or form contents to Meta Pixel.

Meta receives information such as the visited URL, referring page, IP address, browser and device information, and cookie identifiers. The Pixel may set or read advertising cookies, including _fbp and _fbc. Meta may associate this activity with other information it holds and use it under its Privacy Policy, including for advertising and measurement. Visited URLs and referring pages may include query parameters.

We make no requests to Meta before you allow advertising tracking. You can choose Reject and still use the website and join the waitlist. We save your choice in browser local storage; it expires after 180 days. Use Cookie settings in the footer to change it at any time. Rejecting after allowing stops further tracking on the current page and removes the first-party Meta cookies our website can access. It cannot erase data already sent to Meta or cookies on Meta’s domains. You can also clear cookies and local storage through your browser’s site-data settings. We keep Meta tracking off when your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal. Google Analytics and Google Ads are not configured on this website.

Sharing and retention

Service providers supporting our website and email may process information to provide those services, including in countries other than yours. Kit processes subscriber information on our behalf as described in its Data Processing Addendum. Its Privacy Policy describes its own services and interactions. We may also disclose information where required by law. With your advertising consent, information is shared with Meta as described above; Meta’s own use and retention are described in its Privacy Policy.

We retain information only as long as needed for the purposes described here or to meet legal obligations. Technical logs are subject to the hosting provider’s retention settings.

Your choices and contact

Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information, object to its use, or raise a complaint with a privacy regulator.

For questions or privacy requests, contact Failoverly at privacy@failoverly.app.
