Privacy Policy

Last updated

This Privacy Policy explains how Striped Cat Studio (“we”, “us”) handles information when you visit Striped Cat Studio at https://stripedcatstudio.com (the “Site”). We keep this short and specific, because we collect very little.

Who we are

Striped Cat Studio is operated by Striped Cat Studio. For anything related to this policy, email hello@stripedcatstudio.com.

What we collect

Information you give us

The Site has no accounts, comments or forms. If you email us, we receive whatever you choose to send, and we use it only to reply to you.

Information collected automatically

The Site is hosted on Cloudflare. Like every web host, Cloudflare processes the technical data needed to deliver pages and to protect the Site from abuse: your IP address, browser type, the pages you request, the referring page and timestamps. Cloudflare’s handling of this data is described in Cloudflare’s privacy policy. We do not combine it with any other information about you.

Analytics

We do not use analytics tools or tracking cookies on this Site.

Cookies

This Site does not set cookies of its own. Your browser lets you view, block and delete cookies at any time.

How we use information

We use the information above to:

  • deliver the Site and keep it secure;
  • understand what readers find useful, so we can write better articles;
  • reply when you contact us.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not use it for advertising profiles.

Where the GDPR or a similar law applies, we rely on our legitimate interest in running, securing and improving a free publication (hosting, security and aggregated analytics), and on your consent or our legitimate interest in replying when you contact us.

Who we share information with

Only the service providers that make the Site work, each of them bound by its own privacy terms: Cloudflare (hosting and security). We would also disclose information if the law required it.

Retention

Hosting logs are kept by Cloudflare for a short period and then deleted according to its retention schedule. Emails you send us are kept for as long as the conversation is relevant and then deleted. Aggregated analytics contain no personal data.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, to object to or restrict its processing, to receive a portable copy, and to complain to your data protection authority. To exercise any of these rights, email hello@stripedcatstudio.com. We will answer within a month.

International transfers

Our service providers may process data outside your country, including in the United States. Where required, those transfers are covered by standard contractual clauses or an equivalent safeguard.

Children

The Site is a general-audience publication. It is not directed to children under 13 (or the age of consent where you live), and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Articles link to other websites. We are not responsible for their content or their privacy practices, so please read their policies. When you follow a link to a retailer, the retailer may learn that you came from this Site and set its own cookies.

Advertising

The Site shows display advertising delivered by third-party ad networks. Those networks may set cookies and process your IP address and browsing activity to select ads. You can control these cookies in your browser, and most networks offer an opt-out page for personalised advertising.

Changes to this policy

When we change this policy, we update the date at the top of this page. Material changes will be noted on the Site.
