Privacy
Last updated November 10, 2026
Short version: we store only what you type into the waitlist form, use it only to plan the founding network and contact you about it, never sell or share it, and delete it whenever you ask at [email protected].
Who we are
HETRA is a research initiative led by Lucien Luscien, exploring a household-owned computing network. Contact: [email protected].
What we collect
- Your email address.
- Anything optional you choose to add: what you want to do (earn, use compute, both, follow the research), GPU model, graphics card memory, number of PCs, country, state or the first three digits of your ZIP code, internet type and speed.
- Your personal invite code, and the invite code or group link you arrived on, if any, so we can see what brought people in.
- If you leave country or state blank, we fill them in from your approximate location (state level), looked up on our own server.
- If you run the speed test or the page recognizes your graphics card, those results are only kept if you submit the form.
- The date you joined and that you gave consent.
We do not ask for your name, street address or payment details. We do not store your IP address. It is used briefly, in memory, to limit repeated sign-ups and to look up your approximate area (rounded to about 30 miles) in a location database kept on our own server; it is never sent to another company. For the public network map we keep only a count of visits per area, never a record of who visited. We also keep simple site totals (visits per hour, country, phone or computer, and the link people arrived on). We use no cookies, advertising trackers or third-party analytics.
Why we collect it
To understand where the first homes and buyers are, what hardware and internet connections people have, and to email you about the founding network. We ask for your consent on the form, and you can withdraw it at any time.
Sharing
We never sell, rent or share your information for marketing. It is stored privately by HETRA. Cloudflare carries traffic to this website. When the page loads, fonts are fetched from Google Fonts, the map library from cdnjs and map images from NASA, and those providers see the request as any website visit would.
How long we keep it
Until you ask us to delete it, or until the founding waitlist program ends, whichever comes first.
Your choices
Email [email protected] from the address you signed up with to see, correct or delete your information, or to stop hearing from us. We act on deletion requests promptly.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will update the date above, and we will email you before using your information in any new way.
