PRIVACY POLICY
Last updated: 3/01/2025

We believe privacy is cool (and more than just a legal hoop to jump through). Since we also have to comply with that little thing called the GDPR (hello there, EU visitors!), we’re laying out how we handle your data like the organized folks we strive to be.

1. Who We Are

We’re InchProjects.com, and we’re the data controller when it comes to handling your personal data collected through this Site. Any references to “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to the wonderful minds behind InchProjects.

2. The Data We Collect

  1. Information You Provide Voluntarily

    • Contact Data: If you sign up for our newsletter or send us a message, we collect your name, email address, and whatever personal tidbits you decide to share (including those secrets best left untold—keep that in mind!).

    • Account Data: If the Site allows user registration, we’ll collect the info you provide to create your account.

  2. Data We Collect Automatically

    • Cookies & Tracking: We use small data files called cookies that live in your browser. They help us figure out stuff like how many visitors come by, what pages get the most love, and how users move around the site.

    • Device & Usage Data: We might collect your IP address, browser type, the pages you visit, and other usage details whenever you interact with our Site.

We promise to only collect the minimal amount of data necessary, and we won’t start rummaging through your phone for cat memes or personal photos.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

  • Consent: By voluntarily sharing your info or agreeing to accept cookies, you’re giving us permission to process your data.

  • Contractual Necessity: We might need some of your data to perform a contract you’re entering with us (like if you buy something or use a specific service).

  • Legitimate Interests: Sometimes we need to process your data to keep the Site secure, maintain functionality, or enhance the user experience. We do our best to ensure this doesn’t override your rights.

4. How We Use Your Data

  • To Provide and Maintain Our Services: So the Site actually works and you can enjoy it in all its pixelated glory.

  • To Communicate With You: For newsletter updates, marketing messages (only if you’ve opted in), or responding to customer support inquiries.

  • To Improve the Site: We track usage analytics and see where we could stand to get better. (We’re always looking to level up.)

  • To Comply With Legal Obligations: If the local or European law requires it, or if we need to cooperate with authorities.

5. How We Share Your Data

  • Third-Party Service Providers: We might share your data with trusted partners who help us run the Site (e.g., hosting services, analytics providers, email platforms). They’re contractually obligated to keep your data safe and confidential.

  • Compliance & Protection: If legally required, or if we sense we need to protect ourselves, you, or others from harm or illegal activity, we may share data with law enforcement or relevant authorities.

  • Business Transactions: In the unlikely event of a merger, acquisition, or any sort of corporate shuffle, your data might be transferred to the new owners or merging parties. (But we promise to handle it with care.)

6. International Data Transfers

We’re based in South Carolina, USA, but the internet is global, so your data might be transferred to third-party servers in other countries. If you’re in the EU, we’ll ensure any transfer of data outside the EU meets GDPR requirements (like using those fancy Standard Contractual Clauses).

7. Data Retention

We only keep your personal data for as long as it’s needed to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy (or to comply with legal obligations). After that, we’ll either delete it or anonymize it so it can’t be traced back to you.

8. Your GDPR Rights

  • Access: You can ask us to confirm if we’re processing your data and get a copy of it.

  • Rectification: You can request to correct or update inaccurate or incomplete personal data.

  • Erasure (“Right to be Forgotten”): You can ask us to delete your data under certain circumstances.

  • Restriction of Processing: You can ask us to pause using your data, if you’re unsure about its accuracy or the legality of how we’re processing it.

  • Data Portability: You can request your data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format (our fellow geeks love this one).

  • Objection: You can object to our processing if it’s based on legitimate interests or direct marketing.

Send us a friendly email or use our contact form to exercise these rights. We’ll try to respond ASAP—usually within one month, as required by GDPR.

9. Security Measures

We use a combination of physical, technical, and administrative security measures to protect your info. But keep in mind: the internet is not a perfectly guarded fortress (cue ominous music), so while we do our best, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Children’s Privacy

Our Site is not intended for children under [13/16/18, depending on your policy] years of age. We don’t knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you think we’ve inadvertently collected such info, please let us know so we can delete it.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We might update this Privacy Policy occasionally to reflect changes in the law or our Site. We’ll post the revised version here, so keep an eye out for updates every now and then.
