I'm surprised you trust or believe anyone who has a privacy policy or a promise not to spam. What, are you suing people who break these "promises"?
You don't have to sue someone for every papercut offense they give. However, overall, if that person deals a million papercuts with no legal cover then someone may win a class action suit against them, or the government (EU at least in cases of privacy) will intervene and shut them down.
It has nothing to do with suing or even being afraid to receive spam - Gmail takes pretty good care of that. It's actually the other point, I receive enough random emails from places I can't even remember checking out years ago, this isn't going to be another one.
OK I can promise you here that I will only use your email address to notify you when the product beta is launched. And it'll be interesting.
Still doesn't actually say what your service is supposed to be.
"Interesting" is not directly proportional to "Useful", especially not for anyone in particular. I'm not saying your service won't be either, I'm just saying that without more details, I don't feel compelled to be, at one point in the future, notified that this mysterious service I completely forgot about has finally launched its beta.
Give me something, anything, and I'll consider it. But "Hey, give me your email and I'll tell you when my random, indescribable app is available!" just doesn't cut it for me.

Is hiding an input element really more functional than just having an input field appear on the page? The simple fact that it required instruction to use: "Hint: click or drag on the page" (and rather ambiguous instruction too as there are 2 "pages") belies the functional simplification that it seems to present.
I wanted to suggest something in an interesting way. In the context of the product which I should not reveal yet, the interaction would make a lot of sense. I don't expect people to think this is the best email sign up mechanism. As long as it tickles the landing page has fulfilled it's purpose.
There's a clearly visible idea presented here; at least I see something about writing anywhere you like, just like on paper.
i assume the service is a social page annotation embeddable script they they allow others to embed. this is a kid of demo.
Nope. With "the way we express our ideas online" I was actually trying to mean writing and blogging. Should I reword?
Okay, only because you have a ligature.
Pass, thank you very much.
