Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

HypeMyStream ("we", "us", "our") operates the website and related services. We are committed to protecting your personal data and respecting your privacy in accordance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), the Data Protection Act 2018, and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) where applicable.

If you have any questions about this policy or your data, contact us at: privacy@hypemystream.com

2. What data we collect

We collect the minimum data necessary to provide our services:

We do not collect your name, location, payment details, or any other personal information. We do not store your IP address in plain text — it is irreversibly hashed before storage.

3. How we use your data

Your email address is used solely to:

• Send you a notification when HypeMyStream launches
• Send occasional product updates (only if you have consented)

We will never:

• Sell, rent, or share your email with third parties
• Send unsolicited marketing or spam
• Use your data for profiling or automated decision-making

4. How we protect your data

We take the security of your data seriously and implement the following measures:

• Encryption in transit: All data is transmitted over HTTPS/TLS
• IP hashing: IP addresses are hashed using SHA-256 with a secret salt before storage — they cannot be reversed
• Prepared statements: All database queries use parameterised prepared statements to prevent SQL injection
• Rate limiting: Server-side rate limiting prevents abuse and spam
• Minimal data: We only store what is strictly necessary
• Access control: Database access is restricted to authorised personnel only

5. Data retention

We retain your email address until one of the following occurs:

• You unsubscribe or request deletion
• We send the launch notification and the mailing list is no longer needed
• 12 months have passed since collection without a product launch

Upon any of the above, your data will be permanently deleted from our systems within 30 days.

6. Your rights

Under GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Right of access: Request a copy of the data we hold about you
• Right to rectification: Request correction of inaccurate data
• Right to erasure: Request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten")
• Right to restrict processing: Request that we limit how we use your data
• Right to data portability: Receive your data in a machine-readable format
• Right to withdraw consent: Withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing
• Right to lodge a complaint: File a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) at ico.org.uk or your local supervisory authority

To exercise any of these rights, email us at privacy@hypemystream.com. We will respond within 30 days.

7. Cookies and tracking

This website does not use cookies, tracking pixels, analytics scripts, or any third-party tracking technologies. We do not track your browsing behaviour.

The only external resource loaded is Google Fonts, which is subject to Google's Privacy Policy.

8. Third-party services

We do not share your data with any third-party services. Your email is stored on our own servers and is not transmitted to external mailing list providers, analytics platforms, or advertising networks.

9. International transfers

Your data is stored on servers located within the United Kingdom. We do not transfer your personal data outside the UK or EEA. If this changes in the future, we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place (such as Standard Contractual Clauses) and update this policy accordingly.

10. Children's privacy

Our service is not directed at individuals under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe we have collected data from a child, please contact us and we will delete it immediately.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. If we make significant changes that affect how we use your data, we will notify you via email before the changes take effect.
