Privacy Policy

How Portstack handles waitlist details, feedback, vendor listing submissions, and browser-stored prototype data.

Last updated

2026-05-02

This is a working privacy policy for the current prototype. It should be reviewed before launch, especially if analytics, email tooling, authentication, or a production database are added.

What Portstack may collect

Portstack may collect information you choose to submit, such as your name, email address, organization, role, product feedback, correction notes, vendor listing details, and source URLs.

The current prototype also uses browser localStorage for shortlists, waitlist confirmation state, feedback drafts, and internal admin prototype state. This data is stored in your browser unless and until a backend submission path is added.

  • Contact details you enter into forms.
  • Feedback, corrections, and vendor listing information you submit.
  • Browser-stored shortlist and prototype form data.
  • Basic technical information that hosting providers may process to deliver the site.

How Portstack uses information

Portstack uses submitted information to manage early access, improve product coverage, review corrections, understand buyer needs, and contact you when follow-up is useful.

Portstack should not sell buyer contact details or turn buyer communications into a hidden vendor lead channel without a clear product and policy change.

Sharing

Portstack may share information with service providers that help operate the site, process forms, send email, or host data. Those providers should only use the information to provide their services.

Portstack may publish non-confidential vendor and product information in the directory. Do not submit confidential information through general feedback or listing forms.

Retention and rights

Portstack should keep personal information only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected, unless a longer retention period is required for legitimate operational or legal reasons.

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or object to certain processing of personal information. Use the feedback page to make a privacy request until a dedicated privacy contact is published.

International use

Portstack is relevant to ports and maritime software vendors in multiple regions. If production systems process personal information across borders, Portstack should document the relevant hosting region, subprocessors, and transfer safeguards.
