Waitlist privacy

Last updated 8 November 2026. This covers the waitlist only. The app has its own privacy policy.

What we keep

• Your email address.
• A one-word note of where you found us, such as “instagram” or “direct”, if the link you used says so.

After you join, and only while that page stays open, it checks with Brevo whether you’ve tapped the confirmation link, so it can tell you you’re on the list. Nothing is saved on your device, and the check only works from the page you joined on.

If you answer the questions after confirming

The questions are optional, and you can skip any of them. Finishing them moves you up the list.

• Kept without your email: all of your answers. That covers your conversations, where you’re based, the languages you speak together, your ages, how long you’ve been together, and whether you’ve tried couples therapy. They’re stored on their own with only the month, so they can’t be linked back to you. We use them to decide what Hodge should focus on first.
• Kept with your email: only that you finished the questions, so we can move you up. If you also say you’d both try an early version, we keep that, and who has an iPhone, so we can invite you to test.
• If you tell us you’re under 18, we won’t move you up, because Hodge is for adults.

What we do with it

• One email to confirm it’s really you.
• One email when it’s your turn to get in.
• Emails about testing, only if you said you’d both try an early version.

We never contact your partner, and joining doesn’t tell anyone.

We never sell it, share it for advertising, or add you to anything else.

Who handles it

• Brevo (in the EU) keeps the email list and sends the emails. Like most email services, it notes whether each email arrived, was opened, and had its link tapped.
• Vercel hosts this site.
• PostHog (in the US) counts visits and stores the answers kept without your email.

Counting visits

We count page views and taps on this site, so we can see what’s working, such as which parts get read and how many people join. PostHog never receives your email and doesn’t build a profile of you. If your browser asks sites not to track you, nothing is counted. The support page is never counted.

Cookies and this device

No cookies, and nothing is saved in your browser. Someone else using this phone or computer can’t tell from this site that you joined.

How long we keep it

Until you unsubscribe, or until the waitlist ends. If Hodge doesn’t launch, we delete the list.

Your choices

Every email has an unsubscribe link. To see what we hold or have it deleted, write to hello@hodge.love and we’ll reply within 30 days.

Who we are

Hodge is made by an independent developer based in Hong Kong.
