Privacy notice
For the Needed waitlist on needed.ca. Last updated 15 November 2026.
Who we are
Needed is operated by Adverb Limited (Needed), 4 Ash Street, Christchurch 8011, New Zealand. Questions or requests: privacy@needed.co.nz.
What we collect
- Your name, email address, and whether you need a pro or want jobs.
- Your country, province or region, and postal code if you give it.
- The trades you choose, and for pros, a business name and mobile number if you give them.
- How you found us (campaign tags in the link and any referral code), and the site you signed up on.
- Your marketing consent: the exact wording you agreed to and when.
Why we use it
To email you when Needed launches in your area, to send occasional updates you agreed to, and to plan where and which trades to launch first. When we launch, we may use your details to help match customers and pros in your area. We don't sell your information.
Who handles it
Your details are stored with Supabase (database hosting in Tokyo, Japan) and pass through Vercel (website hosting). Cloudflare Turnstile checks that sign-ups come from people, not bots. We use Google Analytics and Meta Pixel to measure visits and sign-ups. These providers may process data outside your country, including in the United States and Japan, under their own safeguards.
How long we keep it
Until Needed launches in your area and you create an account, or for up to 24 months after you join if we haven't launched there yet. If you unsubscribe, we stop emailing you straight away.
Your choices
Every email has an unsubscribe link. You can ask to see, correct or delete your details at any time by emailing privacy@needed.co.nz. If you're in Canada and aren't happy with our answer, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
