Product-stage note

WhiskerMatch is in early pilot onboarding. There is no form database and no server-side submission storage. Data practices will mature as the platform grows.

This privacy policy is not legal advice. If you need counsel specific to your situation, consult a qualified attorney.

Who we are

WhiskerMatch is operated by Veldarium Technology Systems LLC, a US-based company founded by Christopher Azar-Brandes. For any privacy question, reach us at founders@veldarium.com.

How intake works — email-first

During the early pilot period, all inquiries, pilot requests, and waitlist sign-ups are handled through direct email. When you click a contact or request-access link, your own mail client opens with a pre-addressed draft to founders@veldarium.com. Nothing is transmitted to or stored by this site until you press send from your own mail client. There is no form database, no server-side submission storage, and no third-party form processor.

What we collect

  • Category

    Direct email correspondence

    Examples

    Name, email address, organization, role, and the content of any message you choose to send.

    Purpose

    To respond to your inquiry and route you to the right onboarding path. Information is only collected when you choose to email us.

  • Category

    Hosting access logs

    Examples

    IP address, request path, response status code, and timestamp.

    Purpose

    Our host (Vercel) may retain standard short-lived server access logs for reliability, abuse prevention, and debugging. We do not configure additional logging beyond hosting defaults.

Analytics are NOT currently active. The analytics shim in this codebase is a no-op and sends no data to any third party.

What we do not do

  • No data resale. We don't sell your information. We don't rent your information. We don't quietly feed it into an advertising graph.
  • No ad targeting. We do not use your data to target ads, and we do not share it with ad platforms.
  • No third-party model training. We do not use your correspondence to train third-party AI models.
  • No form database. There is no backend database storing your submissions. The site has no API routes that receive or persist form data. Email you send goes to a normal email inbox, nothing more.
  • No default opt-in marketing. We don't use manipulative email tactics, dark patterns, or default-opt-in marketing lists.

How we use what you share

  • Respond to inquiries. We read every message and reply directly from a real email address.
  • Route requests. We direct shelter, adopter, reviewer, and partner inquiries to the right onboarding path.
  • Improve early product decisions. We look at non-identifying patterns — for example, shelters frequently asking about a particular integration — to shape the product.
  • Reliability and abuse prevention. Hosting access logs help our infrastructure provider keep the site available and secure.

Infrastructure we use

  • Vercel — website hosting and edge delivery. Standard hosting access logs may be retained per Vercel's own policies.
  • Standard email (founders@veldarium.com) — email you send goes to the founders' normal email inbox. No third-party form processor or CRM is involved.

We do not use a form-submission database, a CRM, or any third-party service that receives and stores site visitor data at this stage.

Your choices

  • You can ask us to delete correspondence you've sent at any time by writing to founders@veldarium.com.
  • You can ask to see what we have about you, and ask us to correct it if it's wrong.
  • If you're in a region with specific privacy rights (GDPR, CCPA), those rights apply and we'll honor them.

Children

WhiskerMatch isn't directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has sent information, let us know and we'll delete it.

Changes

If we make material changes to this policy, we'll update this page and note the effective date.

Product-stage boundary

This policy governs the website and onboarding surface only. When the WhiskerMatch platform opens for product use, a separate product privacy addendum will apply. We will notify pilot partners before any change in governing documents.
