Privacy

Last updated: 28 September 2026

What we collect

• Tester applications: what you write in the form (name or handle, email, links to your work, genres, DAW, computer, your answers). The form runs on Tally.
• Emails: messages you send to our @octogvng.com and @lockdin.info addresses, and the emails we send you. Email runs on Cloudflare and Resend.
• Beta: your licence key, an anonymous ID of the computer where you activate it, and the feedback you give us.
• Website: standard technical logs of our hosting provider, and our own visit counter without cookies; analytics and advertising cookies only if you allow them (see Cookies). Fonts are loaded from Google Fonts.
• Sentry (EU, Germany): error reports from our cloud engine, so we can fix crashes. Only the error and where it happened: never your MIDI, your key or your IP.

Cookies and website statistics

These pages use the same counter and cookie banner as the rest of octo-labs.net. In short:

• Always on, no cookies: our own visit counter (on our server at Cloudflare) counts pages, clicks on buttons and links, scroll depth, time on page and forms started or sent (never what you type), with where you came from (previous site, utm_* of the link, whether it came from an ad click), screen size group, language, country, browser and system family. Your IP address is never stored; unique visitors are counted with a one-way code that is kept until midnight UTC. Daily totals only.
• Analytics, only if you allow it: a random ID in your browser to see the path of your visits (kept 90 days), and Google Analytics when the banner names it.
• Marketing, only if you allow it: the Meta Pixel when the banner names it, to measure our ads.

Why

To choose testers, run the beta, answer you and tell you about LOCKDIN if you agreed to it. We never sell your data.

Newsletter

If you tick "Keep me posted", we email you LOCKDIN news and the launch. Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link. We keep your email and the record of your consent until you unsubscribe, then only the proof that you unsubscribed.

How long

Tester applications: until the end of the beta plus 12 months, then deleted (if you joined the newsletter, your email stays on that list until you unsubscribe). Emails: as long as needed to handle your request. You can ask us to delete your data at any time.

Your rights

You can ask to see, correct, export or delete your data, or object to its use, by writing to hello@octogvng.com. You can also complain to your data protection authority (in Italy: the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali).

Where

Some of our providers are based in the United States. Where data leaves the EU, it is protected by the providers' standard contractual clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
