The Volt waitlist stores one email address per person and nothing else that identifies them. This site measures its visits with Google Analytics, loaded through Google Tag Manager. Everything below is the whole of it.

What does the waitlist store?

Five things, and nothing else:

  • The email address you type.
  • The time you typed it.
  • The page that sent you here — the HTTP referrer.
  • Your browser's user-agent string.
  • The language of the page you signed up on, so the release email reaches you in it.

If you answer the question that follows, it also stores which features you ticked and anything you wrote in the box. If you ask for a file format on the formats page, it stores the name you searched for.

What does it not store?

Your IP address is not kept by us. The server hashes it for 300 seconds so that one machine cannot sign up two hundred times, and that hash is then thrown away. The waitlist is not sold, shared, or sent to a mailing-list provider.

Does this site measure visits?

Yes. The pages load Google Tag Manager, which loads Google Analytics. Google Analytics records which pages are visited, how you arrived, and the kind of device and browser you use, and it sets cookies — _ga and _ga_JLPMN0XGJ5 — to tell one visit from the next.

  • The measurement is configured to recognise an email address typed into a form on the page, and to send it to Google in hashed form.
  • Google signals is on, so Google may associate visits with signed-in Google accounts and use them for advertising audiences.
  • One cookie of the site's own, volt_lang, is set only when you use the EN/DE switch, and remembers the language you chose for a year. Without it, the page follows your browser's language.
  • Google processes this data under its own privacy policy.
  • The site works fully without it: block the scripts with a content blocker, or refuse cookies in your browser, and nothing here stops working.

What is the address used for?

To email you when a new version is out, and to decide what to build next. Nothing else. The list is not sold, shared, or sent to a mailing-list provider.

How long is it kept?

Until you ask for it to go. Deletion requests are acted on within 7 days. The rate-limit hash lives for 300 seconds and is then gone.

How do I have it deleted?

Write to hello@volt-editor.com from the address you signed up with and it is removed the same week. You do not have to give a reason. You can also ask for a copy of everything stored against your address.

Who holds the data?

MarketVision AG, Switzerland. The list lives on the same server that serves this page. Questions: hello@volt-editor.com.

Does the application itself collect anything?

Your files stay on your Mac unless you send them somewhere yourself — to a server you open, or to people you share a file with through iCloud Drive. The application itself sends two small things to MarketVision. Once at launch and once a day, a count of use: a random number that stands for this copy and nothing else, the version and build, and the Mac's system version, region and language — no name, no account, no file and nothing you typed. It is on unless you turn it off in Settings ▸ Account, and turned off nothing is sent. And, under a separate random number, which edition this copy is and until when. And once a day it asks volt-editor.com whether there is a newer version: the request carries nothing about you or your Mac — no number, no version, no system — and choosing Check only when I ask in Settings ▸ General stops it. An account is optional: with one, your saved searches, language modes and snippets reach your other Macs, and Delete Account… in Settings ▸ Account removes them and it.
