What makes Column8 different from other agencies?

We're a single, senior team that handles strategy, design, and engineering end-to-end. No hand-offs to junior devs, no outsourcing to subcontractors. You get one accountable team from day one to launch and beyond.

What technologies do you work with?

Our core stack includes React, Next.js, React Native, Expo, Node.js, Python, and cloud platforms like Google Cloud, AWS, and Firebase. We pick the right tools for each project — not the other way around.

How long does a typical project take?

Most MVPs ship in 6–10 weeks. Larger platforms typically take 3–5 months. We scope aggressively and ship in phases so you see real progress every sprint, not just status updates.

Do you work with early-stage startups?

Yes — startups are a big part of what we do. We've helped teams go from napkin sketch to funded product. We understand runway pressure and prioritize the features that actually move the needle.

What does your pricing look like?

We offer flexible engagement models: fixed-scope projects, monthly retainers, or dedicated team arrangements. No long-term lock-ins. We'll recommend the structure that fits your stage and budget during our first call.

Can you work with our existing codebase?

Absolutely. We regularly take over, audit, and improve existing projects. We'll start with a technical assessment to understand what's there, what needs fixing, and the fastest path forward.

How do you handle communication and updates?

You'll have a dedicated Slack channel, weekly syncs, and access to our project board in real time. No disappearing acts — we believe radical transparency builds better products and better partnerships.

Do you offer ongoing support after launch?

Yes. Most of our clients stay with us post-launch for iteration, monitoring, and scaling. We offer lightweight maintenance plans as well as full continued development partnerships.

4. Legal Bases (EEA/UK Visitors)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, we process your personal data under the following legal bases:

Legitimate interests — to operate and improve our business, respond to inquiries, and secure our services.

6. How We Share Information

We do not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

Service providers that help us operate our business and the Site (for example, hosting providers such as Vercel, analytics providers, and email or CRM tools).
Professional advisors such as lawyers or accountants, where reasonably necessary.
Legal and safety when required by law, regulation, or legal process, or to protect our rights, property, or safety and that of others.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to comply with legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When information is no longer needed, we will delete or de-identify it where feasible.

8. International Data Transfers

Column8 is based in the United States and the Site is operated from the United States. If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States or other jurisdictions that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home country. Where required, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place, such as relying on Standard Contractual Clauses or other lawful transfer mechanisms under applicable data-protection laws.

9. Children's Privacy

The Site is intended for use by business and professional contacts and is not directed to children under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child, we will take reasonable steps to delete it. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the details below.

10. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to:

Access the personal data we hold about you.
Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
Request deletion of your data, subject to legal exceptions.
Object to or restrict certain types of processing.
Withdraw consent where processing is based on your consent.
Request a copy of certain personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, where applicable law provides this right.

To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before responding and will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law (for example, generally within 30 days for EEA/UK requests and 45 days for certain U.S. state privacy requests, with the possibility of extension where permitted).

If you are located in the EEA or UK, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe our processing of your personal information infringes applicable law.

If you are a California resident, you may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended), such as the right to know certain details about our collection and use of personal information, the right to request deletion and correction, and the right to non-discriminatory treatment for exercising these rights. Because we do not sell or share your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, the related opt-out rights are not applicable to our current practices.

11. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to help protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Third-Party Links

The Site may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
