Cookie & Data-Processing Notice
Part one lists every cookie, browser-storage item, and third-party connection Newel uses. Part two is our Data Processing Addendum — the controller/processor terms that govern the personal information of your clients, leads, and other third parties. The short version: one sign-in cookie, no ad trackers, no third-party analytics, and we never sell your data.

Scope of This Notice
Newel has two parts and they behave differently:
- The public website (this marketing site, including the home, pricing, and legal pages). It sets no cookies at all and uses only a few small browser-storage preferences described in section 4.
- The application (the Newel workspace you sign in to). It sets one strictly necessary sign-in cookie and uses browser storage to run your workspace, as described in sections 3 and 5.
Everything in Part One is first-party and functional. Nothing here profiles you across other websites.
What "Cookies and Storage" Means
A cookie is a small piece of text a website asks your browser to keep and send back on future visits. localStorage and sessionStorage are related browser features that keep data on your device only — unlike cookies, they are never automatically sent over the network. A service-worker cache stores copies of the app's own files so it can open quickly and work offline. Newel uses all three, for function only.
Cookies We Set
Newel sets exactly one cookie, and only after you sign in to the application:
| Purpose | Type | Lifetime | Protections |
|---|---|---|---|
| Keeps you signed in. It holds a signed session token that proves to our server you are you. | Essential | 12 hours, or until you sign out | HttpOnly · Secure · SameSite=Lax · first-party only |
That is the complete list. The public website sets no cookies, and we set no analytics, advertising, or social-media cookies anywhere.
Storage on the Public Website
The marketing site keeps a few preferences in your browser's localStorage so it doesn't nag you twice. These never leave your device:
| Purpose | Type | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| Remembers that you answered the cookie banner so it doesn't reappear. | Essential | Until you clear browser data |
| Remembers that you dismissed the newsletter prompt. | Essential | Until you clear browser data |
| If you sign up for updates, remembers the email you entered so the form doesn't re-prompt. | Functional | Until you clear browser data |
| If you arrived through a promo or referral link, holds that code so it can be applied if you sign up. Cleared after sign-up. | Functional | Until sign-up or cleared |
Storage Inside the Application
The Newel workspace is built to keep as much as possible on your own device. When you use the app, your browser's localStorage holds your working data and preferences. None of this is advertising — it is your workspace. By category:
| Category | What it holds | Lifetime |
|---|---|---|
| Sign-in & security | Your remembered username (if you choose "remember me"), the signed-in profile for the current tab (erased when the tab closes), and the record that you accepted the Terms of Service. | Session or until cleared |
| Workspace data | Your CRM records: contacts, listings, tasks, lists, campaigns, content history, and activity. For cloud accounts this is a local working copy of data also stored (encrypted in transit, access-controlled) on our servers. | Until you delete it in-app or clear browser data |
| Preferences & appearance | Theme, layout, notification preferences, pinned items, and which tutorials you've completed. | Until cleared |
| Profile & branding | Your display name, phone, profile photo, brokerage name/logo, and commission-split settings used to brand your marketing materials. | Until cleared |
| Integrations you enable | Configuration for optional connections you set up yourself (calendar, automation webhooks, website sync). Created only if you turn the feature on. | Until you disconnect the integration or clear data |
localStorage and sessionStorage are never sent automatically to us or anyone else — the app reads them locally and only transmits data to our own server when a feature you use requires it (for example, saving your CRM to your cloud account).
Offline Cache (Installable App)
Newel can be installed to your device as an app. To make that work, a service worker keeps cached copies of the app's own files (the page shell, icons, and assets) in your browser's cache storage. This cache contains application code, not your personal data. Sign-in requests and your CRM data are explicitly never cached. Uninstalling the app or clearing site data removes the cache completely.
Third Parties That May Run in Your Browser
A small number of outside services can load in your browser while you use Newel. When any third-party resource loads, that provider necessarily receives your IP address and basic request details, and may set cookies on its own domain under its own policy. We chose each one for function, not tracking:
| Provider | Where it appears | Why we use it | Cookies? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare Turnstile | Sign-in and sign-up forms | Verifies you are human and blocks automated attacks on accounts — without the puzzles of a traditional CAPTCHA. | May set its own functional cookies inside its widget. Cloudflare privacy policy |
| Google sign-in / Calendar | Only if you connect Google Calendar in Settings | Lets you link your Google Calendar (read-only) to see events inside Newel. Loads only after you click connect. | Google sets cookies on its own domains during sign-in. Google privacy policy |
| Google Fonts | All pages | Loads the typefaces this site uses. | No cookies; Google receives the font request (IP address). Google privacy policy |
| Cloudflare (CDN) | Application only | Serves one open-source code library used for ZIP file handling in your exports. | Static file delivery; no tracking cookies. Cloudflare privacy policy |
| Stripe | Checkout and billing pages, hosted on stripe.com | Processes subscription payments. Card details go directly to Stripe — Newel never sees or stores them. | Stripe sets fraud-prevention and session cookies on its own pages. Stripe privacy policy |
| Listing photo hosts | Application only | Property photos in your workspace load from the sites that host them (your brokerage website, MLS/IDX content networks, stock-photo providers). Loading an image shares your IP address with that host, like viewing any web image. | Image delivery only; we embed no tracking scripts from these hosts. |
Maps: "View on map" buttons open Google Maps in a new tab — nothing from Google Maps is embedded in Newel itself, so no Maps cookies are set on our pages.
Services That Never Run in Your Browser
Newel's backend uses several processors that operate server-to-server only. They set no cookies and run no code on your device; they are listed here for completeness because they handle data for features you use:
- Netlify — hosts the website and application.
- Supabase — our database, where cloud-account data is stored with row-level security.
- Anthropic — powers AI features (captions, descriptions, assistant). Content you submit to an AI feature is processed to generate the response.
- fal.ai (Seedance models) — powers AI image and walkthrough-video generation.
- Resend — delivers transactional and campaign email you send through Newel.
- Stripe — billing records and subscription state (in addition to its hosted checkout above).
Details on what each processor receives and your rights over that data are in the Privacy Policy and Part Two of this notice.
No Advertising or Tracking
- No advertising cookies, pixels, or tags — first- or third-party.
- No third-party analytics (no Google Analytics, no Meta Pixel, no session-recording tools).
- No cross-site behavioral tracking and no fingerprinting for advertising.
- We do not sell or share your personal information for advertising purposes.
Because we don't use non-essential tracking, declining "non-essential" in the cookie banner changes nothing about how the site works — there is nothing to decline. The banner exists so that if this ever changes, your choice is already recorded and will be honored.
Your Choices and How to Clear Data
In the app:
- Sign out — immediately invalidates and removes the session cookie.
- Settings → data controls — export or clear your workspace data from within Newel.
- Disconnect integrations — removing a connection (calendar, automation, etc.) deletes its stored configuration.
In your browser:
- Clear cookies and site data for this site to remove everything in sections 3–6 at once. Note this signs you out, and for local-only workspaces it permanently deletes data that exists only on your device.
- Browser settings can also block cookies entirely; the application requires the one essential cookie to keep you signed in, so blocking all cookies prevents sign-in.
Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control: Because Newel performs no cross-site tracking and sells no data, our behavior already matches what these signals request, whether or not your browser sends them.
Part Two — Data Processing Addendum. This section is part of and incorporated into our Terms of Service. It governs the personal information of your clients, leads, and other third parties ("Client Data") that you upload to or generate in the Service.
Roles of the Parties
This Data Processing Addendum is between you and Prime Edge LLC (operating as "Newel"). As to Client Data, you (or your brokerage) are the data controller and decide why and how that data is processed; Newel is the data processor and processes Client Data only to provide the Service and on your documented instructions (which include your configuration and use of the Service). This notice does not authorize California use; Newel is not offered for California brokerage operations, California properties, California-licensed activity, or users located in California. You are responsible for the lawfulness of the Client Data and for having a valid legal basis and any required consent to collect it and to upload it to the Service.
Your Obligations as Controller
- provide all notices to, and obtain all consents and legal bases from, your clients and contacts required to upload, store, message, and process their information (including under privacy, data-protection, TCPA, CAN-SPAM, and do-not-call laws);
- only upload Client Data you are authorized to use, and honor opt-out, deletion, and do-not-contact requests;
- not upload special-category or highly sensitive data (government IDs, full financial-account numbers, Social Security numbers, health data) except as strictly necessary for ordinary brokerage operations.
Our Obligations as Processor
- process Client Data only to provide, secure, maintain, and improve the Service and on your instructions, not for our own independent marketing;
- keep Client Data confidential and limit access to personnel and sub-processors who need it;
- maintain reasonable technical and organizational security measures (encryption in transit and at rest, hashed credentials, per-workspace data isolation, access controls, rate limiting);
- assist you, taking into account the nature of processing, in responding to data-subject requests and in meeting your security and breach-notification obligations.
Sub-Processors
You authorize us to engage sub-processors to deliver the Service, including hosting and serverless compute (Netlify), database and storage (Supabase), AI content providers (such as Anthropic and image/video model providers like fal.ai and the underlying ByteDance Seedance models), transactional email (Resend), and payments (Stripe). We require sub-processors to protect Client Data in a manner consistent with applicable law and this notice. We remain responsible for our processing obligations to the extent required by law, subject to the Terms of Service.
International Transfers
Where Client Data is transferred across borders, we will use a transfer mechanism recognized by applicable law where required, such as contractual safeguards or another legally recognized basis for transfer.
Security Incidents
We will notify you without undue delay after becoming aware of a confirmed personal-data breach affecting Client Data for which notice is required under applicable law, and we will provide information reasonably available to help you meet your own notification duties. Notice of or response to an incident is not an acknowledgment of fault or liability.
Data Subject Requests
If a client or contact asks to access, correct, delete, or restrict their data, you are responsible for handling the request as controller. We provide self-service tools to find, edit, export, and delete workspace data, and will reasonably assist where the tools are insufficient.
Return & Deletion
On termination, or on your request, you may export your Client Data using the in-app tools, and we will delete or anonymize remaining Client Data after a commercially reasonable period, except where retention is required by law.
Liability
This notice is subject to the limitation-of-liability, indemnification, and other provisions of the Terms of Service. To the extent of any conflict on the subject of Client-Data processing, Part Two of this notice controls.
Changes to This Notice
If we add a cookie, storage category, third-party connection, or sub-processor, we will update this page before the change takes effect, and material changes will be flagged in the app. We will never add advertising trackers silently.
