Who we are
windscene.co is run by WindScene LLC, which is building the windscene app. "We" on this page means WindScene LLC. This policy covers this website; the app has its own.
What we keep
If you request early access, we store three things:
- the email address you enter,
- the date and time it arrived,
- which form on the page it came from.
That is the whole record. We don't attach your IP address, browser or device to it. If you write to us instead, we keep the email you send.
If a publication asks to be followed by Editorial through the windscene app's form, we keep what that form sends: the publication's name and website, a contact email address, and an optional note. We use it to reply, and delete it when it has been dealt with.
What we use it for
To send you the first build and to tell you when windscene opens. We don't sell the list, share it for marketing, or use it for advertising.
What we don't do
The site sets no cookies and runs no analytics or ad trackers. It stores nothing in your browser, with one exception you start yourself: if you tap play on an Editorial page and sign in to Apple Music, Apple's player keeps that sign-in in your browser's storage for windscene.co. We never receive it.
Who else sees your visit
- Cloudflare hosts the site and the early-access list. Like any host, it handles your IP address and request details to serve and protect the site, and it keeps short-lived logs of requests to the sign-up form.
- Google Fonts serves the site's typefaces, so your browser fetches them from Google, which sees your IP address.
- Apple streams a track's 30-second preview when you tap its cover, so your browser fetches that audio from Apple. Nothing is requested from Apple until you tap. The cover art itself is served from windscene.co.
- Apple's web player loads when you tap play on an Editorial page, and not before. Your browser fetches it from Apple, which sees your IP address, and you sign in on Apple's own page. Playing a song needs an active Apple Music subscription.
- The pictures on Editorial pages come from where they live: our own photographs from windscene.co, cover art from Apple's image servers, and an external publication's picture from the publication's own site. Your browser fetches those directly, so the host sees your IP address.
Each of them handles that data under its own privacy policy.
How long we keep it
Until you ask us to remove it, or until we stop running the early-access list, whichever comes first.
Your choices
Write to hello@windscene.co to see what we hold about you, correct it, or have it deleted. We'll do it and confirm.
Children
The site isn't meant for children under 13, and we don't knowingly keep their addresses. If you think a child has signed up, tell us and we'll delete it.
Changes
If this page changes, the date at the top changes with it. If the change affects what we do with an address you've already left, we'll email you first.
