This site sets no cookies and runs no analytics. The fonts are ours and the images are ours, and no page here phones anywhere to watch you read it. There is no consent banner because there is no tracking to consent to. You can confirm that in your browser's developer tools, and we'd rather you did.

What this site collects

Nothing, until you decide to join the waitlist. If you do, the form sends your email address, and which page you were on when you typed it. That is the entire request body — you can watch it leave in your browser's network tab.

There is one hidden field in that form, and it is not a tracker: it's an empty box that a human never sees and an automated script fills in anyway. If it comes back with anything in it we quietly drop the signup. It is never sent anywhere, and for a real person it is always empty.

The one thing on this site that isn't ours

The signup form is checked by Cloudflare Turnstile, which is the only third-party code this site ever loads. It exists to tell a person from a bot without a puzzle to solve, and it loads on the pages that carry the signup form — usually you'll never see it do anything.

Right now it doesn't load at all. Signups aren't open yet, so the form is switched off, and until it's on there is no third-party code running on this site whatsoever. Both halves of that are checkable in your browser's network tab, which is why they're written down separately.

We chose it because it is the version of this that doesn't track you: it sets no advertising cookie, it doesn't profile you across other websites, and Cloudflare states it does not use the data to build a profile of you. It does necessarily see your IP address and something about your browser, because that is how it tells a person from a script. That is a real third party seeing something real, and it belongs on this page rather than in a footnote.

We don't keep it ourselves. The address goes to Resend, the company that sends our email, and the list lives there — we hold no copy of it in our own database. Resend records your address, whether you've confirmed it, and whether you've unsubscribed, which is the whole of what a mailing list is.

What we use it for

One a day, by email. A note when it opens and when the price goes live. Nothing else. That's the line under the form, and it's also the whole scope of use. No newsletters you didn't ask for, no surveys, no "we thought you might also like."

What we never do with it

Sell it, rent it, or trade it — to anyone, at any size of company.
Share it with anyone who wants it for their own purposes. Resend is the one company that touches it, they send only what we ask them to send, and they may not use it for anything else.
Enrich it. We don't look up who you are from your address or append data from anywhere.
Use it to train anything.

Unsubscribing

Every email has an unsubscribe link, and it works in one click — no login, no survey, no "are you sure." Unsubscribing removes your address; it doesn't move you to a quieter list. Nobody attaches a note about why you left.

One honest detail: unsubscribing keeps your address on a suppression list at Resend. That sounds backwards and isn't — it is how they know never to email you again. Ask us to delete it outright and we will, and then nothing stops a future form from mailing you afresh.

Seeing it, correcting it, deleting it

Email hello@getvellumapp.com and a person will handle it — there's no request form and no verification maze, because the only thing there is to hold about you is an email address, and a record of when you gave it. You have these rights whichever privacy law applies to you. We're not going to make you cite one.

The app is the bigger subject

This page covers the website you're reading. What happens inside Vellum itself — to the photos, the recordings, the things your kid said — is a larger promise with its own page: what happens to the archive. It covers ads (none), deletion (we never delete a word you wrote unless you ask us to), and the export that works without us.

This page was last checked against what the site actually does on August 17, 2026. If the site changes, this page and this date change with it.
