Privacy

In effect from August 10, 2026

The short version: Earlyworks keeps your email address, your saved projects and your saved alerts, and nothing else about you. It runs no ad trackers, sells nothing to anyone, and you can have all of it deleted with one email.

What Earlyworks keeps

What Earlyworks never does

What stays on your device

The app remembers your theme, your chosen metro and your sign-in session in your browser's own storage. That data sits on your device, not on a server, and clearing your browser storage removes it.

Payments

When billing opens, cards are handled entirely by Stripe, the payment processor. Your card number goes to Stripe, never to Earlyworks. Earlyworks sees only whether a subscription is active.

Where it lives

Accounts and saved data are hosted with Supabase. The website and the founding list are hosted with Netlify. Both are established providers with their own security practices, and Earlyworks stores nothing about you anywhere else.

Deleting everything

Email info@earlyworks.ca from your account address and your account, saved projects, alerts and email preferences are deleted. Done by a human, usually within a couple of days.

One more thing about the projects themselves

Project records in Earlyworks come from public government sources and sometimes name individuals, because the city printed a name on the permit. That is the city's public record, shown as published, with a link to the original. Earlyworks adds nothing about individuals to it.
