Short, because Waterline collects little.
This is a plain-language draft, not reviewed by a lawyer. It describes what the software actually does, which is the part I can be accurate about. It should be reviewed before the first paying customer, and this notice removed when it has been.
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Your email | To sign you in and to reach you about your account. Never sold, never shared, never added to a list you did not ask for. |
| Your model | Cash, people, grants, commitments. Stored so you can come back to it. Visible only to people you have invited to that company. |
| Payment details | Held by Stripe. Card numbers never reach Waterline. |
| QuickBooks tokens | Only if you connect it. Held server-side in a vault, never in your browser, read-only. |
| Anonymous usage counts | How many companies, how many lines — never figures, never names. Each company's owner can turn this off. |
Your data is not sold, not shared with advertisers, and not used to train models. Support does not read your model without asking you first.
Export any company's model as JSON from Company settings, any time. Deleting your account removes you and every company you own; companies where you are only a member are not touched. Write to hello@waterline.app with any question this does not answer.
