Privacy Policy
Pastel ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data when you visit heypastel.com or use the Pastel platform.
1. Who We Are
Pastel is an AI-driven B2B sales intelligence platform that monitors real-time intent signals across social networks to help businesses identify and engage high-intent leads.
Contact: [email protected]
Website: heypastel.com
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information you provide directly
When you join our waitlist or sign up for early access, we collect your email address. This is the only personal information you are asked to provide on our website.
2.2 Information collected automatically
When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain usage data through third-party analytics tools, including:
- Your IP address and approximate location (country/city)
- Company or organization associated with your IP (B2B identification)
- Browser type, device type, and operating system
- Pages visited, time spent, and referral source
- Scroll depth and engagement signals
This data is collected via Reb2b, a B2B visitor identification service, to help us understand who is visiting our site.
2.3 Information from the Pastel platform (customers)
If you are a Pastel customer, the platform processes publicly available social media content (posts, comments, discussions) from networks including LinkedIn, Twitter/X, Reddit, and others to identify high-intent signals relevant to your business. Pastel does not store the full content of these public posts — it processes intent signals in real time to surface relevant leads.
3. How We Use Your Information
- Email address— To send you updates about Pastel, notify you when early access opens, and communicate product news. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in any email.
- Usage data— To understand how visitors interact with our website, improve our product, and identify potential customers who may benefit from Pastel.
- Demo booking data— When you book a demo, you interact with a third-party scheduling service (zcal). Their own privacy policy governs the data you provide there.
4. Third-Party Services
We share your information only with the following trusted service providers, who process data strictly on our behalf:
Supabase
Database hosting. Your email address is stored securely in a Supabase-managed PostgreSQL database.
Resend
Email delivery. We use Resend to send transactional emails (e.g. your waitlist confirmation) and marketing updates to our audience.
Reb2b
B2B website analytics. Reb2b identifies companies visiting our site by matching IP addresses to business records. No individually identifiable personal data is shared.
zcal
Demo scheduling. When you book a demo, you are redirected to zcal.co, which independently handles your booking data.
We do not sell your personal data to any third parties.
5. Cookies and Tracking
Our website does not use first-party tracking cookies. However, the third-party scripts we load (Reb2b) may set cookies or use similar technologies to identify returning visitors and track sessions. You can control cookie behavior through your browser settings.
By using our website, you consent to the use of these analytics technologies as described above.
6. Data Retention
We retain your email address in our waitlist database for as long as Pastel is operational or until you request deletion. Email marketing contacts are retained in Resend until you unsubscribe or request removal.
Analytics data collected via Reb2b is governed by their own retention policies.
7. Your Rights (GDPR)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):
- Access — Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Rectification — Request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Erasure — Request that we delete your personal data ("right to be forgotten").
- Restriction — Request that we limit how we process your data.
- Portability — Request your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Objection — Object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing.
- Withdraw consent — Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time.
To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days.
8. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
We process your data under the following legal bases:
- Consent — When you submit your email address to join our waitlist, you consent to receive communications from us.
- Legitimate interests — We use analytics to improve our website and understand our audience, which is in our legitimate business interest and does not override your rights.
9. Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encrypted transmission (HTTPS), access controls, and secure third-party infrastructure. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We are working toward SOC 2 certification and follow GDPR guidelines to ensure your data is handled responsibly.
10. International Transfers
Your data may be processed in countries outside the EEA (including the United States) by our service providers (Supabase, Resend, Reb2b). Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure your data receives adequate protection.
11. Children's Privacy
Pastel is a B2B platform intended for business professionals. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of 16. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such data, please contact us immediately.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. We will post the updated policy on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. For material changes, we will notify waitlist subscribers by email.
