Privacy
This page explains what happens to your details when you join the Dear Hume waitlist. It is short because we collect very little.
Who we are
Dear Hume is run by Dariana Dorin, a sole trader in the United Kingdom, who is the data controller. Contact: [email protected].
What we collect
- Your email address.
- Your invite code, who invited you (if anyone) and where you came from (for example "tiktok").
- When you joined and confirmed, and the exact sign-up wording you agreed to.
- A scrambled code made from your internet connection, which changes every day. It only lets us stop someone signing up hundreds of fake emails. It can't be turned back into your IP address.
We don't use cookies or ad trackers on this site.
Why, and on what basis
- To email you: the confirmation, a welcome note, a few notes in November, one door a day in December, your results and the optional paid reports, and news whenever Dear Hume makes something new (at any time, not only after December; never more than one news email a week). Basis: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time with the unsubscribe link in every email.
- To count your invites, tell you when a friend you invited joins, and give any referral reward. Basis: your consent (it's part of what you signed up for). Your friends never see your email address, and you never see theirs.
- To keep the list free of fake sign-ups. Basis: our legitimate interest in a working list.
Who else handles it
Only the services that run the waitlist for us, under contracts that stop them using your data for anything else:
- Cloudflare (hosts this website and stores the list, in Western Europe),
- Resend (sends the emails).
Some of them may process data outside the UK, including in the United States. Where they do, the transfer is covered by safeguards recognised under UK law, such as the UK Extension to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or the UK International Data Transfer Addendum. We never sell your details or share them with advertisers.
How long we keep it
Until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it. If you sign up but never confirm your email, we delete the entry after 30 days. If you unsubscribe, we keep only your email address on a "do not email" list so we don't contact you again.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct, export or delete your details, or object to how we use them, by emailing [email protected]. We reply within one month. If you're unhappy with how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office: ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint.
Age
The waitlist and the challenge are for people aged 18 and over.
Changes
Before the challenge starts we'll publish a fuller version covering your answers and your report, and we'll email you before it applies to you.
