The short version
- This website uses no cookies and no advertising trackers.
- We count visits with GoatCounter, which doesn't identify you or store your IP address.
- If you join the launch waitlist, we keep your email, language and phone type only to tell you when YKItie launches.
- We never sell or share your data for marketing. You can ask us to delete it at any time.
1. Who we are
This website (ykitie.com) is run by Prisikar Development, Syvansalmenkatu 1A, Espoo, Finland. We are the data controller for the personal data described here.

2. What we collect and why
a) Launch waitlist
When you fill in the "Notify me at launch" form, we collect:
- your email address
- the language you want to learn (Finnish or Swedish)
- your phone type (iPhone or Android)
- which button on the page you used to open the form
- the fact that you ticked the consent box, and when you submitted the form
Purpose: to email you when YKItie is available in the App Store and Google Play, and to understand how many people want each language and platform.
Legal basis: your consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)). You can withdraw it at any time by using the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting us. Withdrawing consent doesn't affect anything we did before you withdrew it.
b) Visitor statistics
We use GoatCounter to count page views and clicks on buttons, such as the Download and language buttons. GoatCounter doesn't use cookies, doesn't store IP addresses, and doesn't build profiles of individual visitors. It records the page, the referring website, a rough location (country), and your browser, operating system and screen size, and shows these to us only as totals.
Legal basis: our legitimate interest (GDPR Article 6(1)(f)) in understanding how many people visit the site and which features interest them, done in a way that doesn't identify you.
c) Technical data when you load the site
Like every website, loading this page means your browser sends your IP address and browser details to the servers that deliver it. This site is hosted on GitHub Pages, and its fonts are loaded from Google Fonts. These providers may log this technical data for security and to run their services. We don't receive or use these logs.
3. Who processes your data
We use these service providers. Each processes data only to provide its service to us.
| Provider | What for | Data |
|---|---|---|
| Formspree, Inc. (USA) | Receives and stores waitlist sign-ups | Waitlist form contents |
| GoatCounter | Visitor statistics | Anonymous visit counts |
| GitHub, Inc. (USA) | Website hosting | Technical request data |
| Google LLC (USA) | Web fonts | Technical request data |
Where data is transferred outside the EU/EEA, for example to the USA, the transfer relies on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework where the provider is certified, or on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.
4. How long we keep it
- Waitlist data: until we've sent the launch announcement, and no longer than 12 months after launch, or until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it, whichever comes first.
- Visitor statistics: kept as anonymous totals, which can't be linked back to you.
5. Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to:
- access the personal data we hold about you
- have inaccurate data corrected
- have your data deleted
- restrict or object to how we process it
- receive your data in a portable format (data portability)
- withdraw your consent at any time
To use any of these rights, email [PRIVACY CONTACT EMAIL]. We'll reply within one month.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Finnish supervisory authority, the Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman (Tietosuojavaltuutetun toimisto), or with the authority in your own EU country.
6. Cookies
This website doesn't set any cookies. It saves one setting in your browser's local storage, the language you last previewed (Finnish or Swedish), so the page remembers it on your next visit. This never leaves your device, and you can clear it in your browser settings at any time.
7. The YKItie app
This policy covers this website only. The YKItie mobile app will have its own privacy policy, available before you download it.
8. Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date at the top of this page. If a change affects how we use waitlist data, we'll tell you by email before it takes effect.
