Pre-launch waitlist notice

V-ENT is currently in pre-launch. The only data we collect from this site today is what you submit on the waitlist form: your email (required), and optionally your display name, username, favorite game, and country. We store this in an encrypted database, use it to contact you when we open registration, and bind your username to your email so you can claim the same identity at launch. You can request deletion at any time at info@v-ent.co. The full policy below describes the broader V-ENT Platform that ships at launch.
