Privacy Policy
1. Who we are
This policy covers buttsstudios.com, run by Butts Studios (“we”, “us”). This policy explains what information this site handles, why, who processes it for us, and the choices you have. Questions go to buttsstudios@gmail.com.
2. Information we handle
- Contact form. First name, last name, email, optional phone number and your message, if you submit the form on the Contact page. The form is being reconnected; until then, please email us directly.
- Emails you send us. Your address and whatever you write.
- Technical request data that every visit creates: IP address, browser and device type, the page requested and the time, processed by our host to deliver the site.
3. How we use it
- To reply to project enquiries and discuss work with you.
- To keep the site secure, prevent abuse and meet legal obligations.
4. Service providers
We rely on the following providers, each of which processes data on our behalf or receives it directly when you use their part of the service:
- Vercel Inc. (website hosting and delivery). Vercel receives standard request data such as your IP address, browser type and the page requested, and keeps short-lived request logs.
- cdnjs (Cloudflare, Inc.) and Amazon CloudFront (script libraries for the page layout). Your browser requests script files from these networks, which see your IP address and browser details.
- Google LLC, Gmail (email). Messages you send us are received and stored in our Google Workspace or Gmail mailbox.
5. Cookies and browser storage
This site sets no cookies of its own and uses no analytics or advertising cookies. The page layout scripts (Webflow, jQuery, fullPage.js) run in your browser and do not track you.
6. Retention
- Contact enquiries and emails: kept as long as needed to respond and for the duration of any project that follows, then deleted within 24 months of last contact.
- Hosting request logs are kept by our host for its standard log period (typically days to weeks).
- We delete or anonymise information when it is no longer needed for the purposes above, unless the law requires us to keep it.
7. Sharing
We share information only with the service providers listed above, when the law requires it, to protect rights and safety, or as part of a merger or transfer of the business (with notice to you). We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising, as those terms are defined under California law.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to know what personal information we hold about you, to get a copy, to correct it, to delete it, to object to or restrict certain uses, and to withdraw consent. California residents have these rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including the right to opt out of sale or sharing (we do neither) and the right not to be discriminated against for exercising their rights. Residents of the EEA and UK have rights under the GDPR/UK GDPR and may complain to their local data-protection authority; our legal bases are performance of a contract (purchases, game features), legitimate interests (security, answering enquiries) and consent where we ask for it. Residents of other US states with privacy laws have comparable rights, including the right to appeal a decision we make about a request.
To make a request, email buttsstudios@gmail.com from the address connected to your request, or include enough detail (for example a Stripe receipt or the leaderboard name you used) for us to find the information. We respond within 45 days (one month under the GDPR) and may need to verify your identity. You may use an authorised agent.
9. Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control
This site runs no analytics, advertising or cross-site tracking scripts, so there is no tracking for a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal to switch off. If we ever add such tools, we will honour Global Privacy Control as an opt-out and update this policy first.
10. Children
This site is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact buttsstudios@gmail.com and we will delete it.
11. Security and international transfer
Pages are served over HTTPS. Our providers are based in the United States, so information is processed there; where the law requires, transfers rely on the providers' standard contractual clauses. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
12. Changes
We will post any change on this page and update the date above. Material changes will be highlighted on the site before they take effect.
