Nonhuman InterestPrivacy
Last updated: November 11, 2026
This page says what personal information we collect, why, how long we keep it and who else handles it. We have tried to keep it short and plain. If anything is unclear, email us and we will explain.
Where things stand today. Nonhuman Interest is getting ready to launch. We have not set a date. Until then, the only information this site asks you for is an email address, if you join the waitlist, and whether you want to hear when paid membership opens. Parts 2 to 4 of "What we collect and why" below cover what any website handles when you visit it or write to its owner.
Who we are
Nonhuman Interest is run by Kumar Parichay Singampalle, trading as Nonhuman Interest, a sole trader in the United Kingdom. In data-protection law he is the "controller". That means he decides how your information is used and is responsible for that use.
- Address: 124 City Road, London, EC1V 2NX, United Kingdom
- Email: support@nonhumaninterest.com
- Information Commission's Office (ICO) registration reference: ZC272942
We do not have a data protection officer. We are not required to have one.
In short
- We collect as little as we can.
- We do not sell your information. We never have and we do not plan to.
- We do not show ads. We do not use advertising trackers or tracking cookies.
- This site runs no analytics script and no visit counter today.
- We do not build a profile of you.
- You do not have to give us any information. Without an email address we cannot add you to the waitlist or send you emails.
- You can ask us to show you, correct or delete your information at any time. Email support@nonhumaninterest.com.
What we collect and why
Each table below covers one thing we do. "Lawful basis" is the legal reason that allows us to use the information.
1. The waitlist and the daily email
You give us your email address so that we can tell you when Nonhuman Interest opens and, from launch, send you the free daily email. You can unsubscribe at any time.
The form also has a second box, which you do not have to tick: "Paid membership is coming soon. Tell me when it opens." If you tick it, we keep a record of that choice with your sign-up, so that we can email you when paid membership opens. It is not a purchase and it commits you to nothing. It is kept, confirmed and deleted together with your sign-up, as set out below.
We first send you one email with a confirmation link. If you have not clicked it and you sign up again a day or more after that email, we send it one more time. You are only added when you click that link. This is called double opt-in.
| What | Your email address. A record of your consent: the date and time you signed up, the wording you agreed to (and, if you ticked it, the membership box), the page you signed up from, a scrambled (hashed) form of your IP address, and the date and time you clicked the confirmation link. Whether our emails reach you: if one bounces for good, or you mark one as spam, we record that and stop emailing you. |
|---|---|
| Why | To tell you when we open and to send you the free daily email. To be able to show that you agreed to receive them. |
| Lawful basis | Your consent, for sending the emails. Our legitimate interests, for keeping the proof that you consented. |
| How long | Until you unsubscribe. If you never click the confirmation link, we delete your address and its consent record 30 days after we send you the first confirmation email. If we could not send you that email, we delete both 30 days after our first try, or 30 days after you signed up if we never tried. One exception: an address that was already on our "do not email" list (explained below) goes back on that list. We keep the consent record for 2 years after you unsubscribe, in case we need to show that you agreed. |
| Who receives it | Cloudflare (stores our database). Resend (sends the emails). |
Limiting sign-ups. Each time the waitlist form is sent and passes the bot check, we record the time and a scrambled (hashed) form of the IP address it came from. We make this record even if no new sign-up is stored. Once an IP address reaches the hourly limit, we stop recording. We use this record only to limit how many times the form can be sent from one IP address in an hour. That makes it hard for anyone to flood the form, or to use it to send our confirmation email to many people who did not ask for it. We delete each record within 48 hours. Lawful basis: our legitimate interests in keeping the form secure.
Unsubscribing. Every email we send, except the confirmation email, has an unsubscribe link. Using it takes you off the list at once. You can also email us to unsubscribe. We remove you by hand within 2 working days.
The "do not email" list. When you unsubscribe, we keep a record of your email address on a short list of addresses we must not email. This may sound odd, but without it we could add you again by mistake. We use this list for nothing else. Lawful basis: our legitimate interests, and our legal duty to respect your choice. We keep your address on this list until you sign up again or ask us to remove it.
Signing up again. If an address on the "do not email" list is entered in the waitlist form again, with the consent box ticked, we treat that as a new sign-up. We send a confirmation email to that address, and at most one more, as for any sign-up. We send nothing else unless a confirmation link is clicked. If no link is clicked within 30 days of the first confirmation email, the address goes back on the "do not email" list.
2. The bot check
The waitlist form on our home page uses Cloudflare Turnstile to tell real people from automated programs. The check runs only on the page with that form, and only while the waitlist is open for sign-ups. When the form is closed, the check does not run. It usually runs without asking you to do anything.
| What | Cloudflare says Turnstile collects your IP address, your browser type, a technical pattern in the way your browser connects, and which site the check came from. |
|---|---|
| Why | To stop automated programs from flooding our forms. Cloudflare also uses these signals to improve its bot detection, and it is responsible for that use itself. |
| Lawful basis | Our legitimate interests in keeping the site secure. It is strictly necessary to run the forms safely. |
| How long | We keep only the pass or fail result, and only while your form is being handled. Cloudflare does not publish a fixed period for the signals it holds. |
| Who receives it | Cloudflare. |
Cloudflare says Turnstile does not read what you type into our forms.
3. Server logs
Our site runs on Cloudflare's network. Like every website, each request for a page reaches a server that can see your IP address, the page requested, the time and your browser type.
On our home page and our Pricing page, our code also reads the two-letter country code that Cloudflare works out from your IP address and attaches to the request. It uses that code once, to choose whether prices open in pounds or US dollars. Our code does not save it. The request logs described in the table below may include it.
| What | IP address, the country it points to, page requested, date and time, browser type. |
|---|---|
| Why | To deliver the site, show prices in your currency, keep it secure, and find and fix faults. |
| Lawful basis | Our legitimate interests in running a secure, working site. |
| How long | Our own logs: 7 days. Cloudflare keeps its network logs for as long as its business and legal needs require; it does not publish a fixed period. |
| Who receives it | Cloudflare. |
4. When you email us
| What | Your email address, your name if you give it, and whatever you write. |
|---|---|
| Why | To answer you, to fix errors you report, and to deal with privacy requests and cancellations. |
| Lawful basis | Our legitimate interests in answering you. Our legal duty, where you are using a legal right. |
| How long | 2 years after the conversation ends. Longer if the law requires it. |
| Who receives it | Our email provider, which hosts the support@nonhumaninterest.com mailbox. |
Videos from YouTube
Our story pages show each daily Short from YouTube. Nothing loads from YouTube until you press "Watch the Short". When you press it, the video plays in YouTube's privacy-enhanced player (youtube-nocookie.com), and YouTube receives the information any website receives when your browser asks it for something, such as your IP address. YouTube's own privacy policy applies to that. If you would rather not, follow the link to YouTube instead, or do not press the button. Comments on our Shorts are made on YouTube, under YouTube's terms.
Who else handles your information
We use a small number of companies to run the site. They act on our instructions under a contract. They may not use your information for their own purposes, except where we say so on this page.
| Company | What it does for us | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare, Inc. | Runs the site, stores our database, bot check | United States, with servers worldwide |
| Resend (Plus Five Five, Inc.) | Sends our emails | Emails are sent from Ireland. Resend stores its records in the United States. |
Emails you send us are held by our email provider, which hosts our mailbox.
We may also share information if the law requires us to, for example under a court order.
Sending information outside the UK
Most of the companies above are in the United States. When your information goes there, UK law requires a safeguard. These are the safeguards each company says it uses:
- Cloudflare: its contract with us includes terms the UK regulator has approved for sending information abroad (the "UK Addendum"). Cloudflare also says it takes part in the Data Privacy Framework and its UK Extension (the "UK–US data bridge").
- Resend: its contract with us includes the UK Addendum. Resend also says it complies with the Data Privacy Framework and its UK Extension.
You can ask us for a copy of these safeguards.
Storage on your device
This is everything our site stores on, or reads from, your device.
| Item | What it is for | Can you turn it off? |
|---|---|---|
| Bot check (Cloudflare Turnstile) | Tells people from automated programs on the waitlist form. It reads technical details of your browser and may store a short-lived item while it runs. | No. It is strictly necessary to keep the form secure. It only runs on the page with the waitlist form, and only while the waitlist is open for sign-ups. |
| Your light or night choice | Remembers which look you picked with the button at the top of the page. Stored in your browser only. It is not sent to us. | Yes. It is only saved when you use the button, so if you never use it, nothing is stored. To remove it afterwards, clear this site's data in your browser settings. |
| Your currency choice | Remembers whether you picked pounds or US dollars on the price table. Stored in your browser only. It is not sent to us. | Yes. It is only saved when you use the switch, so if you never use it, nothing is stored. To remove it afterwards, clear this site's data in your browser settings. |
We set no advertising cookies and no third-party tracking cookies.
Children
Our site is written for adults and is not aimed at children. Members must be 18 or over. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you think a child has given us information, email us and we will delete it.
