Privacy Policy
The short version
- We collect your email address and, if you choose to give it, your first name, so we can keep you updated about the MIYO Mouse.
- We also record basic, non-identifying details about your signup: which link you came from, whether you used a phone or a computer, and when you signed up.
- We do not sell your information, share it for advertising, or use advertising cookies or tracking pixels.
- You can unsubscribe at any time from any email, and you can ask us to see, correct, or delete your information by emailing modularfounder@gmail.com.
1. Who we are
This website and the MIYO Mouse waitlist are operated by Modular Technologies LLC, a California limited liability company (“Modular,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). Modular is the company developing the MIYO Mouse, a modular computer mouse. For purposes of applicable privacy laws, Modular is the business (or “controller”) responsible for the personal information described in this policy.
2. What this policy covers
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect personal information when you visit this website, join the MIYO Mouse waitlist, or receive emails from us (together, the “Services”). It does not cover third-party websites or services you reach through links on our site, such as social media platforms, which have their own privacy policies.
By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read this policy. If you do not agree with it, please do not submit your information.
3. Information we collect
Information you give us
When you join the waitlist, we collect:
- Email address (required), so we can confirm your signup and send you updates.
- First name (optional), so we can address you personally.
If you email us, we also receive your message, your email address, and anything else you choose to include.
Information collected automatically
When you submit the signup form, we record a small amount of information about the signup itself:
- Referral source: a short label showing which link brought you to the page (for example, the Instagram link or a printed QR code), or the name of the referring website if your browser provides it.
- Device type: whether you signed up on a phone, tablet, or computer, determined from your browser.
- Date and time of your signup.
We use this information only in aggregate, for example to understand which channels people find us through.
Information processed by our service providers
Like nearly every website, our hosting, database, font, and email providers automatically receive certain technical information when your browser or email app connects to them, such as your IP address, browser type, and the date and time of the request. They use it to deliver and secure their services, and it may appear in their standard server logs. We do not combine this information with your waitlist entry or use it to build a profile of you.
Categories of personal information
Using the categories defined in California law, in the past 12 months we have collected:
| Category | Examples | Source | Collected |
|---|---|---|---|
| Identifiers | Email address, first name, IP address (processed by service providers) | You; your browser | Yes |
| Internet or other electronic network activity | Referral source, device type, signup time | Your browser | Yes |
| Commercial information | Products of interest | N/A | No |
| Precise geolocation | GPS location | N/A | No |
| Sensitive personal information | Government ID, financial account, health data | N/A | No |
We do not ask for, and ask that you do not send us, any sensitive personal information.
4. Cookies, tracking, and Do Not Track
Our waitlist page does not set cookies and does not use analytics, advertising, or social media tracking tools such as tracking pixels. We do not track you across other websites or over time.
Our pages load fonts from Google Fonts. When your browser requests these fonts, Google receives your IP address and browser information. Google's use of that information is described in the Google Privacy Policy.
Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control. Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” or Global Privacy Control signal. Because we do not engage in cross-site tracking, targeted advertising, or the sale or sharing of personal information, there is nothing for these signals to switch off on our site. If we ever change our practices, we will honor Global Privacy Control as a valid request to opt out of sale and sharing, as California law requires.
Our confirmation and update emails do not contain tracking pixels. Like most email, images in them are loaded from our web server when you open the message, which means our hosting provider receives the standard technical information described above.
5. How we use your information
We use the information we collect to:
- Add you to the MIYO Mouse waitlist and send you a confirmation email.
- Send you updates about the MIYO Mouse, such as development news, early access, and launch announcements.
- Respond to your questions and requests.
- Understand, in aggregate, how people find us, so we can improve our outreach.
- Detect and prevent spam, fraudulent signups, and abuse of the Services.
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our rights.
We do not use your information for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects, and we do not use it to train artificial intelligence models.
6. Legal bases for processing
If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another region that requires a legal basis for processing, we rely on:
- Consent for sending you waitlist updates by email. You can withdraw consent at any time by unsubscribing.
- Legitimate interests for understanding how people find us and for keeping the Services secure, where those interests are not overridden by your rights.
- Legal obligation where we must keep or disclose information to comply with the law.
7. How we share your information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We have not done so in the past 12 months.
We share personal information only with the service providers that help us run the Services. They are permitted to use it only to perform services for us:
| Provider | Purpose | Information involved |
|---|---|---|
| Vercel Inc. | Website hosting | Technical information such as IP address and browser type |
| Supabase Inc. | Secure database that stores the waitlist | Email address, first name, referral source, device type, signup time |
| Resend (Plus Five Five, Inc.) | Sending confirmation and update emails | Email address, first name, email content |
| Google LLC | Web fonts | Technical information such as IP address and browser type |
If we start using a different provider, such as an email newsletter service for launch updates, we will share only the information that provider needs and will update this policy.
We may also disclose information:
- To comply with the law, such as in response to a valid subpoena, court order, or other legal process.
- To protect rights and safety, including to investigate fraud or abuse or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Modular, our users, or others.
- In a business transaction, such as a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets. If that happens, your information may be transferred as part of the transaction, and this policy will continue to apply to it unless you are notified otherwise.
- With your consent, or at your direction.
8. Our emails and how to unsubscribe
After you join, we send a one-time confirmation email. After that, we will email you only about the MIYO Mouse and Modular, and not more often than is useful.
Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link. You can also unsubscribe by emailing modularfounder@gmail.com. We process unsubscribe requests promptly, and in any case within 10 business days. Unsubscribing removes you from future marketing emails; we may keep a record of your email address to make sure we honor your request.
9. How long we keep your information
We keep waitlist information for as long as the waitlist and the MIYO Mouse launch are active, and for up to 24 months after launch so we can send relevant follow-up updates, unless you ask us to delete it sooner. If you unsubscribe, we keep only what we need to honor that request. When information is no longer needed, we delete it or make it anonymous. Copies may remain in our providers' backups for a limited period before they are overwritten.
10. How we protect your information
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the small amount of information we hold. Information is encrypted in transit (HTTPS) and stored with providers that encrypt data at rest. Our signup form can only add entries; it cannot read the list. Access to the list is limited to Modular's founders.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If a security incident affects your personal information, we will notify you as required by law.
11. Your rights and choices
No matter where you live, you can ask us to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you.
- Correct information that is inaccurate.
- Delete your information and remove you from the waitlist.
- Stop marketing emails, by unsubscribing at any time.
We will not treat you differently for exercising any of these rights. See How to make a request below.
12. Additional information for California residents
This section supplements the rest of this policy and applies to California residents. It reflects the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (together, the “CCPA”), the California Online Privacy Protection Act (“CalOPPA”), and California's “Shine the Light” law. Some of these laws apply only to businesses that meet certain size thresholds. We extend these rights to California residents regardless.
Your California privacy rights
- Right to know: the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources, our purposes for collecting it, and the categories of third parties we disclose it to.
- Right to delete personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions.
- Right to correct inaccurate personal information.
- Right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information. We do not sell or share personal information, so there is nothing to opt out of today.
- Right to limit the use of sensitive personal information. We do not collect sensitive personal information.
- Right to non-discrimination for exercising any of these rights.
Disclosures for the past 12 months
The categories of personal information we collected, and their sources, are listed in Section 3. Our business purposes are listed in Section 5. We disclosed identifiers and internet activity information to the service providers listed in Section 7 for business purposes. We did not sell or share personal information, and we have no actual knowledge of selling or sharing the personal information of consumers under 16.
Shine the Light
California Civil Code Section 1798.83 lets California residents request information about personal information disclosed to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose personal information to third parties for their direct marketing purposes.
Reviewing and changing your information (CalOPPA)
You can review or change the information you submitted to the waitlist at any time by emailing us at the address in Section 18.
13. Residents of other U.S. states and outside the U.S.
Residents of states with comprehensive privacy laws, including Colorado, Connecticut, Virginia, Texas, Oregon, and others, may have rights similar to those described above, including the rights to access, correct, delete, and obtain a copy of their personal information, and to opt out of targeted advertising, sale, and certain profiling. We do not engage in targeted advertising, sale, or profiling. If we deny a request, you may appeal by replying to our decision with the subject line “Appeal,” and we will respond within the time the law requires.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you also have the rights to restrict or object to our processing, to data portability, to withdraw consent at any time, and to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
14. How to make a request
To exercise any of your rights, email modularfounder@gmail.com with the subject line “Privacy Request” and tell us what you would like us to do. You can also write to us at the mailing address in Section 18.
- Verification. To protect your information, we will verify your request by confirming it came from, or is confirmed by, the email address on the waitlist. We will not ask for more information than we need.
- Authorized agents. You may use an authorized agent to make a request for you. We may ask the agent for proof of your written permission and may ask you to confirm the request directly with us.
- Timing. We will confirm receipt within 10 business days and respond within 45 days. If we need more time, up to an additional 45 days, we will tell you why.
- Cost. Requests are free. We may decline or charge a reasonable fee for requests that are manifestly unfounded or excessive, as the law allows.
15. Children's privacy
The Services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has given us information, please contact us and we will delete it. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of anyone under 16.
16. Where your information is stored
Modular is based in the United States, and your information is stored and processed in the United States. If you access the Services from outside the U.S., your information will be transferred to the U.S., where data protection laws may differ from those in your country. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for these transfers, such as our providers' standard contractual clauses.
17. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as our Services change, for example when the MIYO Mouse launches and we begin taking orders. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top. If we make material changes, such as using your information in a significantly different way, we will notify you by email or with a notice on this site before the change takes effect.
