Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 8, 2025

At The8thArchive, trust is everything — it’s how we started, how we work, and how we protect the people who support us. We don’t take data lightly. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, why we collect it, and what we’ll never do with it.

1. What We Collect

  • Basic info: Your name, email, shipping address
  • Order details: Purchase history, product preferences, payment method (non-sensitive)
  • Device & usage data: IP address, browser type, operating system, and site interaction (via analytics)
  • Cookies: Used to improve your experience and keep your cart saved

We only collect what’s necessary to give you the best experience and never more than that.

2. How We Use Your Data

  • To process and ship your orders accurately
  • To communicate order status, payment confirmations, and delivery updates
  • To provide support when you reach out to us
  • To improve site layout, product presentation, and performance via usage trends
  • To send occasional updates (if you’ve opted in)

3. What We Don’t Do

  • We don’t sell, rent, or trade your data to anyone. Ever.
  • We don’t store full credit card or banking information on our systems.
  • We don’t send you spam. Every message has purpose — or you won’t get it.

4. Cookies & Tracking

Cookies help our site function smoothly and remember you. We use them for:

  • Keeping your cart intact if you leave and come back
  • Remembering preferences (dark/light, device behavior, etc.)
  • Tracking anonymous user behavior so we know what pages hit and what flopped

Cookies are optional — you can disable them anytime through your browser settings.

5. Third-Party Services

We may use trusted third-party tools to process orders or analytics (e.g. Stripe, Google Analytics, Instagram Checkout). These providers may access limited data only to perform tasks on our behalf, and they are contractually obligated not to misuse or disclose it.

We don’t allow third-party advertising or tracking pixels on our site. Your activity stays with us.

6. Your Rights

You have full control over your data. At any time, you may:

  • Request a copy of your personal data
  • Correct or update any of your information
  • Withdraw consent or opt-out of updates
  • Request deletion of your account or personal data

To exercise these rights, email us at the8tharchive.my@gmail.com or DM us on @the8tharchive. We’ll respond within 5 business days.

7. Data Security

We use industry-standard methods (encryption, firewalls, access control) to keep your data secure. However, no system is 100% invincible. If we ever experience a data breach, we’ll notify affected users immediately and take action to contain it.

We also keep access to personal info limited to only those who need it (in this case — just us).

8. Retention

We keep your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill orders, comply with legal requirements, or resolve disputes. If you request deletion, we will securely erase your data unless retention is required by law.

9. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may evolve as our tools and processes grow. If we make any major changes, we’ll update this page with the latest version and date, and announce it on our social channels.

10. Contact
