Privacy policy.
Porter is a text-message ordering agent for kitchens. Right now we're only collecting WhatsApp numbers for early access. This page explains what we keep, why, and what you can ask us to do with it.
Who we are
Porter is run by [COMPANY NAME], registered in England and Wales, company number [NUMBER], [REGISTERED ADDRESS]. We're the controller of the information below. Questions go to hello@weve.dev.
What we collect
- Your WhatsApp number, when you ask for early access, and when you signed up.
- The invite code you came in with, if any.
- Your WhatsApp messages to us, for example your reply to our first message. We use an AI model (Anthropic) to read whether that reply is a yes or a no.
- Basic technical data our hosting provider records when you load the page, such as your IP address. We use it to keep the site running and to stop abuse of the sign-up form, for which we keep a scrambled (hashed) form of it.
Why we use it
- To message you on WhatsApp about early access and, if you say yes, to put you in a WhatsApp group with one of our founders to get you set up. We do this because you asked for it.
- To keep the sign-up form working and free of spam. This is in our legitimate interest.
We don't sell your number, and we don't share it with suppliers or other kitchens.
Messages and opting out
Reply NO or STOP and we'll stop messaging you. You can also email us and we'll take you off the list.
Who handles it for us
We use a small number of service providers, who only process your details on our instructions:
- Fly.io, to host this site.
- Neon, to store the early access list.
- WhatsApp (Meta), to send and receive messages.
- Anthropic, to read your reply to our first message.
Some of these providers may process data outside the UK. When they do, they use safeguards that UK data protection law approves, such as the UK International Data Transfer Addendum.
How long we keep it
We keep your details until Porter launches and you've been offered access, or until you opt out, whichever comes first. If you become a customer, a separate policy will cover how Porter handles your ordering. If you don't, we delete your details within 12 months of launch.
Your rights
You can ask us for a copy of what we hold about you, and ask us to correct it, delete it or stop using it. Email hello@weve.dev and we'll reply within a month.
If you're not happy with how we've handled your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
