Privacy notice
RateMyWrist is running a small test round before it launches. Three things happen on the site today: the Founders waitlist, the wrist shots members send in for the round, and signing in to score them. This notice covers all three. Last updated 8 November 2026.
What we store
When you join the waitlist we keep three things:
- your email address, in lower case
- where you came from, when the link you used carried a tag such as "reddit"
- the time you ticked the consent box, and the time your sign-up was saved
When you send us a wrist shot for the round, by email, we keep:
- the photo, with its metadata removed first: the time it was taken and any location your phone stored with it are stripped before it goes anywhere near the site
- the watch's name and the caption you give it, if any
- which account it belongs to, so you are never asked to score your own shot and your Founder number can follow it
The photo is shown on the site under the watch's name, without your name or your email address. Your email stays in our mailbox until the round is over, then it is deleted.
When you sign in, Google's Firebase Authentication checks who you are and we keep:
- your account id and the email address on it
- the tag from the link you first arrived on, if it carried one
- when you first signed in and when you last did
- the scores you give, one per shot, and any shot you report
That's all. We don't store your name, your IP address or anything about your device. To slow down bots, the server counts sign-up attempts per connection for ten minutes, in memory only, and never writes them down.
Why
To run the round: to show your shot to other members for scoring and theirs to you, and to keep the scores honest at one per person per shot. To email you when your round opens, and later to invite you to the launch. The tag tells us which of the places we shared the site in brought people who went on to take part. Nothing else: no newsletters, and your address is never passed to anyone.
Where
In Google Cloud's Belgian region (europe-west1), photos included. Google processes it on our behalf under its Cloud terms.
How long
Your waitlist sign-up: until the Founders round has finished and you have been invited, or until you ask to be removed, whichever comes first. Your shots: for as long as they are on the site. Your account and your scores: for as long as you have an account. Ask, and any of it goes.
How to be removed
Email hello@ratemywrist.com from the address you signed up or signed in with, and say whether it's your sign-up, a shot or your whole account. We'll delete it within seven days and confirm when it's done.
Cookies and analytics
No analytics and no tracking. The site sets no cookies of its own. Google's Firebase Authentication handles sign-in and keeps your session in your browser; nothing from Google loads until you tap a score, or, once you have signed in, when you come back. That will change when the full site launches; this notice will be updated first.
