Privacy policy

What we collect

Only what you type into a form on this site. Open a store: your name, phone number, store name, city or area, what you sell, and your email if you give it. Tell me when it opens: your phone number or your email, and your city or area. Become a partner: the organisation, the contact person, the phone number, the type of organisation, and the city or area and email if you give them. With each entry we keep the language of the page, the time you agreed to be contacted, and the version of the consent text you agreed to. Nothing else is collected about you: no visit statistics, no tracking, no advertising.

Why we collect it

To contact you about the launch of Digital Village, as you agreed when you sent the form: to tell you when it opens, or to follow up on your store or your partner request. We rely on your consent, and you can withdraw it at any time by asking for removal (below). Your details are not sold, not shared for advertising, and not used for anything else.

Who sees it

Only the Digital Village team reads these lists. They are stored with two providers that run this site for us and handle the data only on our instructions: Vercel, which hosts the site, and Neon, which hosts its database, on servers in Frankfurt, Germany. We do not give your details to anyone else unless the law requires it.

How long we keep it

The lists are kept until they are loaded into the Digital Village site itself at launch, so that we can invite you there. The database of this coming soon site is then deleted. If you ask for removal before then, your entry is deleted straight away.

To limit repeated submissions, a keyed hash of your IP address, not the address itself, is kept for one hour and deleted within a day after that.

Our database provider keeps a short restore history for recovery, so a deleted entry can remain in it for up to 7 days before it is gone for good.

Cookies

The public pages of this site set no cookies. The only cookie is a strictly necessary session cookie on the export page that only the Digital Village team uses, which visitors do not see.

How to ask for removal

To see, correct or remove your details, write to privacy@digitalvillagelb.com or send a message to our Instagram page, and give the phone number or the email you used. We answer within 30 days. On removal we delete every entry with that phone number or email from all three lists.

Your rights and changes to this policy

Digital Village, based in Lebanon, is responsible for the data collected on this site. You can ask at any time to see the details we hold about you, to correct them, to remove them, or to stop being contacted. If you think we have not handled your request properly, you can complain to the competent authority in Lebanon. If this policy changes, the new version is published on this page.
