Privacy

OWEM is not open yet, and this site asks you for nothing. There is no signup form, no mailing list, no account and no cookie banner, because there is nothing to consent to. This page explains the little that is measured anyway, in plain language and without hedging.

Who is responsible

OWEM is an independent project built and run by Paul Adu-Gyamfi, who is the data controller for everything described here. For any question or request, message me directly on LinkedIn. That is the fastest route to a real person, and it is monitored.

What is collected, and only this

Nothing you type, because there is nowhere to type. What remains is the unavoidable residue of putting a page on the internet:

Not collected: your email address, name, phone number, address, bank or card details, contacts, receipts, or location. No account exists, no list exists, and no profile of you is built or bought.

Legal basis

There is no consent to give, because no personal data is requested. For the aggregate counts and the host's server logs we rely on legitimate interest in running a website and knowing whether a page works. No cookie is set for either.

Who else can see it

Two companies process data on our behalf, each under their own agreement, and neither may use it for their own purposes:

• Vercel (hosting, US/EU) — serves the page and holds the server logs.
• Plausible (analytics, EU) — receives the aggregate, cookieless counts.

Transfers outside the UK/EEA are covered by Standard Contractual Clauses. Beyond these two, nothing goes anywhere. There is nothing here to sell, rent, swap or hand to an advertiser — and there is no future version of this page in which we start.

Cookies

This site sets no cookies at all — not advertising, not tracking, not analytics. That is why you were never shown a banner. Analytics is configured to be cookieless and to record no cross-site identifier.

How long it is kept

Server logs are retained by the host for roughly 30 days and then discarded. The aggregate counts contain no personal data and are kept as running totals. There is no record with your name on it to delete, because one was never created.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of anything held about you, have it corrected or deleted, or object to it being used. In practice there is almost nothing to act on: without an identifier we usually cannot connect any record to you, and we will say so plainly rather than invent one. Message me on LinkedIn and I will respond within 30 days, usually the same week. If you are in the UK and unhappy with the outcome, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office.

Security

The site is served over HTTPS only and stores nothing on our own servers. Because no contact, payment or identity data is held, a breach here would expose a page view count and a host's access log.

Children

OWEM is not intended for under-16s. Since the site collects no personal data, none is knowingly collected from children either.

Changes

When the app itself launches it will handle receipts, participants and amounts, and this policy will be replaced by a fuller one before that happens — not quietly afterwards. If a signup is ever added back, this page changes on the same day, and the date at the top always reflects the current version.
