Privacy

This page explains what happens when you join our launch list: what we collect, why, and how to stop hearing from us. If anything here is unclear, get in touch — see Contact, below.

What we collect

When you join the launch list, we store your email address, which page or section you signed up from (for example the homepage or the Packs page), the edition you signed up for (Blurred Lines or Blurted Lines), and the date and time. We do not ask for your name or any other personal detail on this form.

We also keep a one-way, salted cryptographic hash of the network address used to submit the form — never the address itself — for a few minutes, only to stop the form being spammed by automated scripts. It cannot be used to identify you.

Why we collect it

To send you updates about Blurred Lines while it is in development, roughly once a month; the occasional extra, such as print-and-play cards or a new card to try; and notice when the Kickstarter campaign launches. Every email carries an unsubscribe link. We do not use your email address for anything else, and we do not sell or share it beyond what's described under "Who processes it", below.

Lawful basis and consent

[LAWFUL BASIS AND CONSENT WORDING — TO BE CONFIRMED WITH COUNSEL. The form is opt-in: nobody is added without submitting their own email address. The exact lawful basis under UK/EU GDPR, and the consent language shown at sign-up if one is needed, still needs confirming.]

How to unsubscribe

Every email we send carries an unsubscribe link. You can also write to us at any time (see Contact, below) and we will remove your address.

How long we keep it

[RETENTION PERIOD — TO BE CONFIRMED. For example: until the Kickstarter campaign ends, or until you unsubscribe, whichever comes first.]

Who processes it

Your information is stored on our own server. We also use Kit, a third-party email service, to send the launch notification — your email address, sign-up source and edition are shared with Kit for that purpose only.

International transfers

[INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS WORDING — TO BE CONFIRMED WITH COUNSEL, including where Kit processes and stores data, and what safeguard applies if that is outside the UK/EU.]

Your rights

If you're in the UK or the EU, you generally have rights over information we hold about you, including to access it, correct it, have it deleted, and object to how it's used, as well as the right to complain to your data protection authority (the ICO, in the UK).

[FULL RIGHTS WORDING — TO BE CONFIRMED WITH COUNSEL: the exact scope of each right, any exceptions, and the process and timeline for exercising them.]

Under 16?

Blurted Lines, our kids edition, is made for ages 8–16. [CONFIRM CONSENT WORDING WITH COUNSEL]

The Get Involved forms

If you send us something through the Get Involved page — a card idea, an introduction, an offer to help — we store what that form asks for: your name and email address, the answers you gave, and which language you used. Nothing else. We do not store your IP address with it, and the page sets no cookies.

We use it only to reply to you and to act on what you sent. Volunteering never adds you to our email list: that is a separate sign-up with its own consent, and you can do one without the other.

[HOW LONG WE KEEP IT — TO BE CONFIRMED WITH COUNSEL. The proposal in the plan is: delete names and email addresses from volunteer forms by December 31, 2027 unless the person is still helping, and keep card suggestions and their credits for as long as the card is in use.]
