Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

after-view ("we", "us", "our") operates this website and provides a done-for-you short-form content distribution system for founders. We are the data controller for the personal data you provide through this site. For any privacy matter, contact us at lucian@after-view.com.

2. What personal data we collect

• Lead form data: when you request 3 free content ideas or contact us through the form, we collect your name, email address, any profile or company link you choose to share, and the page you submitted from.
• Analytics data: when you accept analytics cookies, we record anonymised usage events such as page views, blog post reads, and form submissions, so we can understand which content is useful and improve the site.
• Communications: any information you share when you reply to our emails or message us on social platforms.
• Testimonial data: if you agree to share your results, we may publish your name, role, company, and a short description of your experience. We only do this with your explicit consent, and you can ask us to remove it at any time.

3. Why we process it and our legal basis

We process your personal data only where we have a valid legal basis under Article 6 of the GDPR:

• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): for analytics cookies, marketing outreach after you request content ideas, and publishing testimonials. You can withdraw consent at any time.
• Contract preparation (Art. 6(1)(b)): to respond to your inquiry and take steps toward a potential service agreement.
• Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)): to reply to your messages, maintain the security of the site, and keep records of past inquiries.

4. How long we keep your data

Lead form submissions are kept for up to 24 months so we can follow up and answer your request. If you become a client, your data is kept for the duration of our engagement and for up to 7 years afterward for accounting and tax compliance. Analytics data is retained in aggregate form for up to 26 months. You can ask us to delete your data earlier at any time.

5. Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with trusted processors that help us run the site and deliver the service, such as our hosting platform, email provider, and analytics tool. Every processor is bound by a written contract requiring GDPR-level protection. We only disclose your data to authorities where legally required.

6. International data transfers

Some of our processors operate outside the EU/EEA. Where this happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, to ensure your data receives a level of protection equivalent to EU law.

7. Your rights under the GDPR

Under the GDPR and the UK Data Protection Act, you have the following rights:

• Access: request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Rectification: ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
• Erasure ("right to be forgotten"): ask us to delete your data.
• Restriction: ask us to limit processing in certain circumstances.
• Data portability: receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
• Objection: object to processing based on legitimate interest or for marketing.
• Withdraw consent: withdraw your consent for analytics or testimonials at any time.
• Right not to be subject to automated decision-making: we do not use automated decisions with legal or significant effects.

To exercise any right, email us at lucian@after-view.com. We respond within one month, as required by law.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including encrypted transmission (HTTPS) and access controls. No system is perfectly secure, but we take our responsibility seriously and notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours if a data breach poses a risk to your rights.

9. Children

Our service is intended for founders and professionals aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has sent us data, contact us and we will delete it.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices or the law. The "last updated" date at the top of this page always reflects the most recent version.

11. Contact and complaints

For any privacy question or request, contact us at lucian@after-view.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority, such as the relevant authority in your EU member state.
