Right now Potluck is only a waitlist: you can reserve a username before the site opens. This page explains what we keep when you do that, why, and for how long. We keep as little as we can.
What we collect
| What | Why | How long |
|---|---|---|
| Your email address | To send the link that confirms your username, and to tell you when Potluck opens. | Until you ask us to delete it, or we close the waitlist. |
| The username you choose | So nobody else can take it. | The same as your email. |
| Where you came from, if the link had a tag (for example "tiktok") | To know which of our posts brought people here. | The same as your email. |
| When you reserved and confirmed the name | Unconfirmed names expire after 30 minutes. | An unconfirmed reservation is deleted after 30 minutes. |
| A scrambled (hashed) form of your IP address | To stop anyone trying more than 5 names an hour. | Deleted after one hour. |
We do not ask for your name, age, phone number or anything about your trading. We do not use advertising trackers or analytics cookies.
Who else handles it
- Cloudflare runs the site and its database, and its Turnstile check tells people apart from bots. Turnstile looks at signals from your browser to do that; Cloudflare's privacy policy covers it.
- Resend sends the confirmation email, so it receives your email address and the email's contents.
We do not sell your information or share it with anyone else, and we will not send you marketing from anyone else.
Your choices
- To delete your reservation and email, write to help@potluck.trading from the same address. We delete it within 30 days, and usually much sooner.
- To see what we hold about you, ask the same way.
- Every email we send about the launch will tell you how to stop hearing from us.
Age
You must be 13 or older to reserve a username. If you think a child under 13 has given us their email, tell us and we will delete it.
Changes
If we change what we collect, we will update this page and its date before the change happens. If the change is important, we will email the people on the waitlist.
