Privacy standard
Privacy should be visible, deliberate, and proportionate.
This policy explains what the ValaisOS public website processes during its quiet pre-reveal phase and how you can control optional technologies.
What this policy covers
This policy applies to the public website at valaisos.com, its early-access form, and communications initiated through that form. It does not yet cover a ValaisOS product account or private preview environment; those services will receive additional terms before they open.
Information we receive
The public site does not ask you to create an account. If you request early access, we receive your name and work email plus any firm, role, or note you choose to provide. We use that information to respond and consider participation in private previews. Product-update messages are sent only when you select the separate optional checkbox.
We do not sell personal information, use it for cross-context behavioral advertising, or promise admission to a preview or beta.
Cookies and local storage
The site uses no advertising cookies and loads no third-party analytics. It uses browser local storage for two necessary preferences:
- Theme preference remembers whether you selected the light or dark presentation.
- Privacy preference remembers whether you accepted or declined optional analytics.
If you accept optional analytics, the site sends a small set of first-party events—such as a page view, form start, successful request, or theme change—to our same-origin Azure API. We retain aggregate counts only; the application does not store an analytics identifier, IP address, browser fingerprint, or event-level visitor history. Declining prevents these measurement requests. If the purpose or technology changes, we will update this policy, change the consent version, and ask again.
You can revisit your choice at any time using . You can also clear the site’s local storage through your browser.
Hosting and operational records
The site, form API, intake records, aggregate counters, and internal submission notifications are operated with Microsoft Azure services. Like most hosting services, Azure may process limited operational information needed to deliver and secure the site, such as IP address, request time, requested path, browser information, and security events. The form application does not add those details to the intake record.
Retention and your choices
Early-access requests are generally deleted within 24 months of the last relevant interaction unless a shorter period is requested or a longer period is required for a legitimate legal or operational reason. Pseudonymous abuse-prevention keys are kept only as needed to enforce short submission limits, and aggregate measurement counts are kept for up to 13 months. You may ask us to correct or delete information you sent, or to stop product-update communications.

For privacy questions or requests, email hello@valaisos.com. We may update this policy as the public site and private previews evolve; material changes will be identified by a new effective date or version.
