We collect your email address when you request to join the internetusername.com waitlist. We use it to send a confirmation link and contact confirmed subscribers about the launch.

Cloudflare Workers handles requests, D1 stores registrations and confirmation records, and Cloudflare Email Service sends confirmation emails. Stored registration data includes your delivery email address, normalized identity, registration number, request timestamps, and confirmation status. We store hashes of confirmation links and keyed hashes of their six-digit codes, along with limited attempt counters to prevent guessing. The code and link confirm the same request, expire after 15 minutes, and can be used only once through either method. Expired code records and daily attempt counters are removed by hourly cleanup.

To limit abuse, we temporarily store a daily hash derived from your IP address and request counters. Expired counters and tokens are removed as signup requests are processed. Cloudflare also processes network information needed to operate these services.

Registration numbers are identifiers, not promised queue positions. We don’t display a public member directory. Access to your waitlist page requires signing in through a link sent to your saved email address. Referral attribution is stored when a new signup is created, and credit requires email confirmation. We use cookies to remember referral attribution and your authenticated session. Sessions are stored server-side and expire after seven days or when you log out. We do not use advertising trackers.

We set a random browser identifier in a secure, HTTP-only cookie for up to 90 days, renewing that period at most once daily when you return while preserving the identifier. It identifies a browser profile, not a person, and is not based on device information or fingerprinting. Clearing cookies or using a different profile creates a new identifier. People sharing a profile share this identifier. It cannot sign you in by itself. An email link opened in the browser that requested it can confirm automatically; other browsers require the confirmation button. Browser bindings on email links expire within 15 minutes.

We store the domain searches you submit, their timestamps, and the browser identifier for up to 30 days, plus the hourly cleanup interval. We do not attach search records to your user account, store keystrokes, or collect device fingerprints, raw user-agent strings, or IP addresses in these records. Browser records expire with the 90-day cookie and are removed by hourly cleanup. These records are reserved for future browser-based features; no personal search history is exposed.

If you did not request a confirmation email, you can ignore it. Your email will not be confirmed without using the link.
