This page covers one thing: the email address you leave on the waitlist. Mikronome does not run accounts, does not sell anything yet, and collects nothing else.
What we collect
- Your email address.
- Optionally, what you do, if you choose to tell us.
- The exact consent wording shown to you, and the time you confirmed, so that what you agreed to is a record rather than a memory.
- A one-way hash of your IP address, used only to limit abuse of the form. The address itself is never stored.
Why we collect it
To send you one email, when the instrument is available. That is the only purpose. Your address will not be used for anything else, will not be sold, and will not be shared.
Our lawful basis is your consent, given by ticking the box and confirmed by clicking the link in the email we send you.
Removing your address
Every email we send carries a removal link that works immediately and needs no login. You can also write toprivacy@mikronome.comand ask us to remove, correct or send you a copy of what we hold. We aim to respond within 30 days.
How long we keep it
- An address that is never confirmed is deleted after 48 hours.
- A confirmed address is kept until you remove it, or until the venture ends, whichever comes first.
Where it is stored
On Cloudflare infrastructure, and our email is sent through Resend. Both process data outside South Africa. By leaving your address you agree to that transfer.
Who we are
Mikronome is a student venture run by four Electrical and Information Engineering students at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, within the ELEN3018A course. It is not a registered company. Questions about this page go toprivacy@mikronome.com.
