No tracking. This page has no advertising, analytics, or tracking code, and it sets no cookies.
The waiting list. If you join, your email address and the time you joined are kept in the publisher’s list on Google Firebase, which runs this site. If the list cannot be reached, your email app opens with a message to the publisher instead. Your address is used only to tell you when the map opens, and you can ask to be taken off the list at any time. It is never sold or shared.
Reservations. Payment is made through GoDaddy's checkout, under GoDaddy's own privacy notice. The publisher receives your name, email, and payment record, and uses them only to send your sign-in and answer your questions.
Type. The type is served from this site itself, so no font service sees your visit.
