PRIVACY POLICY - ABOUT 8 INCHES
(Global, GDPR-compliant, brand-appropriate, elegantly worded)
Last Updated: November 2025
At About 8 Inches (“we”, “our”, “us”), we respect your privacy as much as we enjoy your curiosity.
This Privacy Policy explains - clearly and honestly - how we collect, use, and protect your information when you join our mailing list or interact with our website.
By subscribing or providing your details, you agree to the practices described below.
1. What We Collect (and Only What We Need)
When you join the waitlist or sign up:
Email address
Name (optional)
That’s it.
No unnecessary information.
No hidden data collection.
No surprises.
We collect just enough to keep you in the loop and nothing more.
2. How Your Information Is Used (The Useful Part)
We use your information to:
send launch updates
share exclusive previews
invite you to testing opportunities and questionnaires
offer early access to releases
communicate with you about brand updates you’ve asked for
We use your data only to give you the content you signed up for.
Nothing else.
No sharing, selling, or trading it ever.
3. Legal Basis for Processing (Because the Law Matters Too)
Depending on where you live, your data is processed under:
Consent (you chose to subscribe)
Legitimate interest (sending you content you requested)
You may withdraw consent at any time — no drama, no explanation needed.
4. Where Your Data Lives (Securely)
Your information is stored using reputable third-party email platforms
(e.g., Mailchimp, ConvertKit, Squarespace, or similar services).
These platforms comply with international security standards
and are used solely to manage email communications from us to you.
We implement reasonable technical and organisational safeguards to protect your information.
5. International Transfers (In Case Your Data Travels)
Because our tools and service providers may operate worldwide, your data may be transferred outside your home country.
Where this happens, we ensure appropriate protections under:
UK GDPR
EU GDPR
Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs)
Equivalent international safeguards
Your data is protected wherever it goes.

you remain subscribed, or
it is necessary for the purposes described above
