Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 2026 (draft)
This page explains what personal data RYCO collects, why, and what choices you have. If anything is unclear, email us at martin@ryco.pt.
What we collect, and why
We collect different data for different purposes:
- To create and run your account: your first name, last name, email address, and how you signed up (email or Google). We use this to let you log in, show your name back to you, and save your calculator results to your account.
- To run the calculator: the answers you give in the calculator form (age, income, nationality, family situation, and similar). If you're logged in and choose to save your results, we store your answers and the routes the calculator showed you. One answer — whether you have a criminal conviction — is used only in your browser to compute a yes/no/unclear result and is never sent to or stored in our database, only the computed result is.
- To send you marketing updates — only if you opt in: your email, used to send occasional emails about RYCO's launch and updates.
Marketing is separate, and optional
Using RYCO — creating an account, running the calculator, saving results — never requires agreeing to receive marketing emails. That's a completely separate choice, made with its own checkbox at signup, left unticked unless you tick it yourself. Our legal basis for sending marketing emails is your consent — nothing else. You can turn it on or off at any time from your account settings, and we record the exact time you gave or withdrew consent, not just the current yes/no.
Who processes your data
We use a small number of trusted service providers:
- Supabase hosts our database and handles login, in an EU region. Your account details, calculator answers you save, and marketing consent all live here.
- Tally (tally.so) hosts our waitlist form and stores waitlist submissions on our behalf, within the EU.
- Google, only if you choose “Continue with Google” — in that case Google shares your name and email with us to create your account, under Google's own privacy terms for that sign-in.
- Vercel hosts this website (the pages you're browsing right now).
We don't sell or rent your data to anyone.
How long we keep your data
- Your account (name, email, consent) is kept for as long as your account exists.
- A saved calculator result is flagged after 24 months of not being opened — see your account to review or delete saved results at any time.
- Waitlist submissions are kept while the waitlist is open and for a limited period after.
- Deleting your account removes your profile and every saved result immediately and permanently.
Your rights
You can, at any time:
- Access the data we hold about you — download it from your account page, or ask us by email.
- Correct inaccurate data — from your account page, or by email.
- Delete your account and all your data — from your account page (immediate and permanent), or by email.
- Take your data elsewhere (portability) — export a copy in a standard format from your account page.
- Withdraw marketing consent at any time from your account page, with no effect on your account or calculator access.
To exercise any of these by email instead, write to martin@ryco.pt from the address on your account. We'll action requests promptly.
Changes to this policy
As RYCO develops, this policy will change too. We'll update this page when it does.
