Privacy Policy

Last updated 4 October 2026. This policy covers the Worthken website, operated by ByteKen (“we”). The Worthken app will have its own, more detailed policy before launch.

The short version

• The website has no sign-up form or database. If you email us for early access, we receive that email and nothing else.
• We don’t use advertising cookies or trackers. Our analytics are cookieless and aggregate.
• We never sell or share your data for advertising.
• You can ask us to see, correct or delete your data at any time.

What we collect and why

• Emails you send us: when you use an “Email us for early access” button, your own email app sends us a message containing your email address and anything you write, such as the countries you picked. Purpose: to reply and invite you to Worthken. Legal basis (GDPR): your consent and our legitimate interest in answering you.
• Website analytics: Vercel Web Analytics and Speed Insights record aggregate page views, performance and button clicks without cookies and without identifying you.
• On your device only: your theme choice and anything you type into the net worth calculator are stored in your browser’s local storage and never sent to us.

Cookies

The website sets no cookies for tracking or advertising, so there is no cookie banner. Strictly necessary browser storage is described above.

Who processes your data

• Vercel Inc.: website hosting and cookieless analytics.
• Our email provider, which stores the emails you send us.

These providers act on our instructions under data processing agreements. Data may be processed in the United States; where required, transfers rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards.

How long we keep it

Early-access emails are kept until you join Worthken or ask us to delete them, and in any case no longer than 12 months after public launch. Aggregate analytics are kept for up to 24 months.

Your rights

Wherever you live, you can ask to access, correct, export or delete your data, and to withdraw consent or opt out of emails (every email has an unsubscribe link). Specifically:

• EU/UK (GDPR, UK GDPR): rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection, and the right to complain to your supervisory authority.
• India (DPDP Act, 2023): rights to information, correction and erasure, grievance redressal and to nominate another person. Contact our grievance officer below.
• California and other US states (CCPA/CPRA and similar): rights to know, delete and correct. We do not sell or share personal information, and we don’t use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics.

We respond within 30 days (sooner where the law requires) and won’t treat you differently for exercising your rights.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. Access is limited to the people who need it. See our Trust Center for more.

Children

Early access is for adults (18+). We don’t knowingly collect data from children.
