Your information.
dende is in a pre-launch beta. This page covers the dende website: the beta waitlist and the sponsorship form. It doesn’t cover the dende hosting product, which isn’t open yet.

At a glance
- We only ask for what we need: your email and the role you choose to join the waitlist. A sponsor request also includes your company and message if you add them.
- We use it to send beta invitations and reply to sponsors. Nothing else.
- We don’t sell or share your information with advertisers or data brokers.
- Google Analytics counts visits and button clicks. It never receives your email or message.
- You can ask us to delete your information at any time.
What we collect
| When | What we store | Why |
|---|---|---|
| You join the beta | Your email address, the role you picked (deploy backends, contribute compute, or both), when you signed up, and whether you’ve been invited yet. | To run the waitlist and email you when your access is ready. |
| You request a sponsorship | Your work email, plus your company or team and your message if you fill them in (both optional), and when you sent it. | To review your request and reply by email. |
| You submit either form | Your IP address and the time of the request. These are deleted automatically after 10 minutes. | To block spam and repeated submissions (more than 8 in 10 minutes). |
| You visit the site | Usage data collected by Google Analytics (see below). | To understand which parts of the page help people decide. |
If you sign up again with the same email, we update your existing record, so you won’t be listed twice. Please don’t put passwords, payment details or other sensitive information in the sponsorship message.
Analytics and cookies
The site uses Google Analytics to count page visits and a few actions: clicks on “Join the beta” buttons (and where on the page they were), completed beta signups with the role chosen, and sent sponsorship requests.
Google Analytics sets cookies and receives standard browser information, such as your device type, browser, approximate location from your IP address, and the pages you view. We never send it your email address, company, or message.
To opt out, you can use a content blocker, block cookies for this site, or install Google’s Analytics opt-out add-on. The waitlist works the same either way.
The site itself doesn’t set any other cookies.
Who handles it for us
- Vercel hosts the website and runs the form handler.
- MongoDB Atlas stores waitlist and sponsorship records.
- Google Analytics provides visit statistics.
These services process data on our behalf under their own terms and may store it outside your country.
How long we keep it
We keep waitlist and sponsorship records while the beta runs and invitations are going out, or until you ask us to delete them. Rate-limit records are deleted automatically after 10 minutes.
Your choices
You can ask us to show you, correct, or delete the information we hold about you, or to take you off the waitlist. Contact us using the details below.
