Privacy Policy — Excellent

This Privacy Policy explains how Excellent Software, LLC (“Excellent,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and shares information when you visit excellent.so (the “Site”).

The short version

The only personal information we ask for is your email address, if you join the waitlist.
We use analytics cookies only after you accept them in our cookie banner. Decline and nothing non-essential loads.
We don’t sell your personal information.
The Excellent product is local-first — data you create in the product stays on your own machine and is not sent to us. This policy covers the marketing Site only.

Information we collect

Information you give us

When you join the waitlist, we collect the email address you submit. We also receive anything you choose to send us, for example if you email us.

Information collected automatically

If you consent to analytics cookies, our analytics providers collect standard usage data such as pages viewed, referring URLs, approximate location (from IP), device and browser type, and interactions like a waitlist signup. We also use a privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics tool (Vercel Analytics) that does not use cookies or track you across sites.

Cookies & analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies to understand how the Site is used. Non-essential cookies (Google Analytics 4, the Meta Pixel, and/or Google Tag Manager) load only after you accept them in our consent banner. You can withdraw or change your choice at any time using the Cookie preferences link in the footer, or by clearing this Site’s data in your browser. Declining leaves only essential, cookieless measurement in place.

How we use information

To contact you about the waitlist, early access, and product launch.
To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Site.
To measure traffic and understand what’s useful (with your consent).
To comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with:

Service providers who process data on our behalf — for example Supabase (stores waitlist emails), and Google, Meta, and Vercel (analytics) where you have consented.
Legal and safety — if required by law, or to protect our rights, users, or the public.
Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this policy.

Data retention

We keep your waitlist email until you ask us to remove it or it is no longer needed for the purpose it was collected. Analytics data is retained according to each provider’s defaults.

Your rights & choices

You can ask us to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to unsubscribe from the waitlist, by emailing hello@excellent.so.

California residents. Under the CCPA/CPRA you have rights to know, delete, and correct your personal information, and to opt out of its sale or sharing. We do not sell or share personal information as those terms are defined by California law. To exercise your rights, contact us at the email above; we will not discriminate against you for doing so.

EEA/UK residents. Where applicable, you have rights to access, rectify, erase, restrict, and port your data, and to object to processing. Our lawful bases are your consent (analytics) and our legitimate interests / steps taken at your request (operating the Site and waitlist).

Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Children’s privacy

The Site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Third-party links

The Site may link to third-party sites we don’t control. Their privacy practices are their own; please review their policies.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We’ll revise the “Last updated” date above, and material changes will be reflected here.
