What we do with your email

We ask you for exactly one thing on the claim page besides a name: an email address.

I know what typing your email into a website feels like by now. You brace a little. Somewhere in your head a folder is already filling up with everything that usually follows — the welcome series, the re-engagement nudges, the “big news” that never quite is.

So here is exactly what we do with yours. The answer is small, and the smallness is the point.

The one email you’ll get

When the room opens, we send you a note saying so. Your handle is live, your founding number is on it, come in whenever you like.

That is the entire sending schedule. One email, on a day we don’t yet know ourselves.

So why ask for an address at all? Because the room doesn’t have a date, and your inbox is the only place that news can reliably find you. When the claim page shipped, I gave the email’s job one sentence: one note when the room opens, then silence. This post is the long version of that sentence — written down mostly so you can hold me to it.

What we won’t do with it

Everything else an email address usually gets used for, we skip. No drip campaign easing you toward anything. No “we miss you” if you haven’t been around for a while. No weekly digest you never asked for. No “someone you know just claimed a handle.” No surveys, no “quick favor.”

And the address itself goes nowhere. We don’t sell it. We don’t share it. There is no partner, no sponsor, no “carefully selected third parties” waiting behind a paragraph of small print.

That’s not the short version of the list. That’s the list.

Leaving is one click

The exit is real, too. One click and your address is gone — no “are you sure,” no exit interview, no seven-day processing period while we think it over. Gone is gone.

The only thing you’d lose is the note itself. If the room opens after you’ve stepped out, you’ll find out the way anyone else does — by looking in. Your call, genuinely.

Why so little

Because an inbox is borrowed attention. You didn’t invite us to move in — you lent us one moment of it, for one specific piece of news. Most apps treat that loan like a standing invitation they get to renew on your behalf. We’d rather borrow the way you’d borrow from a friend you want to keep: use it for the thing you said, hand it back, done.

And honestly, writing to you more often wouldn’t help us anyway. majjha only works if showing up is something you chose — a record only means something when nobody had to drag you back to build it. Someone who opens the app because a notification guilted them into it isn’t reading the world. They’re managing their inbox.

So that’s the deal, whole and short: you lend us your address once, and we use it once. The quietest thing we’re building is your inbox.

If that trade sounds fair — a name and a number now, one note later, silence in between — the claim page below asks for exactly what I said it would.
