Privacy Policy

1. Overview & Core Principles

Learnlists ("we", "our", or "us") operates the website discovery platform at learnlists.com. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, store, and process data when you explore our design galleries, submit websites for consideration, or subscribe to our newsletter.

2. Information We Collect

We limit data collection to the minimum required to provide our curation service:

• Website Submissions: When you submit a project via our Submission Portal, we receive the public URL, website title, optional social link, submission rationale, and submission timestamp.
• Newsletter Subscriptions: If you opt-in to our weekly newsletter, we collect your email address solely to deliver weekly digests. You may unsubscribe anytime in one click.
• Contact Inquiries: Messages submitted through our Contact Page include your name, email, selected inquiry topic, and message contents.
• Aggregated Usage Metrics: Privacy-preserving server analytics (e.g. page view counts, referrer domain, non-identifying user agent) to monitor infrastructure health and prevent automated scraping.

3. How We Use Collected Data

Data is collected and processed under the following legal bases:

4. Local Storage & Client Preferences

We prioritize client-side privacy. Learnlists does not use invasive third-party cross-site cookies. We utilize browser localStorage solely for functional UI conveniences:

• Saving your bookmarked websites locally on your device.
• Recording form submission cooldown timers to prevent accidental double-submits.
• Remembering your preferred gallery view mode (grid vs. dense card layout).

You can clear these preferences at any time by clearing your browser's site data or storage.

5. Third-Party Services & Infrastructure

To ensure rapid global delivery, 99.99% uptime, and secure form processing, we work with trusted enterprise providers:

6. Your Rights (GDPR, UK-GDPR & CCPA)

Regardless of where you reside, we afford all visitors full data rights:

• Right of Access: Request a copy of personal information we maintain about you.
• Right to Erasure ("To Be Forgotten"): Request immediate deletion of your submitted contact information or newsletter email.
• Right to Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate website attribution, designer credits, or URLs.
• Right to Opt-Out: Instantly unsubscribe from newsletters via the one-click link in any email footer.

7. Security & Retention

We enforce HTTPS encryption for all browser traffic via TLS 1.3. We retain website submission metadata for the duration the website remains active in our public archive. If a featured website ceases operations or if the original creator requests removal, we archive or delete the record promptly.
