Privacy policy
This policy explains what happens to the answers you give in the beta application form on frontspike.com. It covers that application only: the Frontspike app and its accounts are not covered here.
What we collect
- Your work email, required.
- What best describes you: brand or store owner, media buyer, agency, or other. Required.
- Your monthly ad spend, as a range, if you choose to give it.
- What you would like to track, in your own words, up to 300 characters, if you choose to give it.
With your answers, we record when you applied, how many times you sent the form, and our decision on your application: pending, accepted, declined or on hold. We keep one application per email: while it awaits review, sending the form again with the same email replaces your previous answers. We never ask for your stores.
What we do not collect
- This website sets no cookies and uses no analytics or advertising trackers. The form is sent without cookies.
- Our server reads your IP address, as passed on by Cloudflare, only to accept at most five applications per connection every ten minutes. It is held in the server's memory for that count and never stored.
Why we use it
We use your answers for one purpose: to choose beta testers and invite them in small groups. If your application is accepted, we send you an invitation link by email ourselves. The link lets you create your account in the Frontspike app.
Who can see it
- Our team. Only team members with access to our internal console read applications. Each decision on an application is recorded with who made it and when.
- OVHcloud hosts our servers and our database in France, and our encrypted backups, also in France.
- Cloudflare hosts this website and receives all traffic to the Frontspike app before our servers do. It therefore sees your IP address and what you send.
- Google Fonts serves the fonts of this website: your browser connects to Google's servers, which see your IP address.
We do not share your application with anyone else.
How long we keep it
Your application stays in our database until we delete it, which we do by hand when you ask. Once deleted, it may remain in our encrypted backups for up to eight weeks, until those backups expire and are erased.
Your rights
You can ask us to access your application, correct it, delete it, or stop using it. We delete an application by hand when you ask.
If you believe we have not respected your rights, you can lodge a complaint with the CNIL, the French data protection authority, at cnil.fr.
