Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Digital Nasties Studio ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and handles your information when you visit our website (the "Site"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with applicable data protection laws, including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

1. Data Controller

Digital Nasties Studio is the data controller responsible for your personal data collected through this website.

If you have any questions about this privacy policy or our data protection practices, please contact us.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

  • Information you provide directly:
    • When you use our Contact Form: We collect your name, email address, the content of your message, your IP address (and any proxy IP address), and your answer to the CAPTCHA security question.
  • Information collected automatically:
    • Server Logs: Our server automatically logs information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring website, pages viewed, and the dates/times of your visits.
    • Cookies: We use essential cookies for website functionality (e.g., session cookies for CAPTCHA verification). See section 9 (now section 8) for more details.
  • Information from Third Parties (Embedded Content & Store):
    • Embedded Videos (Rumble): Some pages on our Site may contain embedded videos hosted by Rumble.com. When you interact with these embedded videos (e.g., by playing them), Rumble may collect data about your interaction, including your IP address, browser information, and viewing activity. This data collection is governed by Rumble's own privacy policy and cookie practices.
    • Our Store (Gumroad): Our store at store.digitalnasties.com is operated by Gumroad. We do not collect or receive your payment details, billing address, or other checkout information; this is collected directly by Gumroad. See section 6.1 for more details.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To operate and maintain our Site.
  • To respond to your inquiries via the Contact Form.
  • To improve our Site, services, and content offerings.
  • To ensure website security, prevent spam, abuse, and unauthorized access (e.g., using IP addresses and CAPTCHA).
  • To provide embedded video content via Rumble.
  • To comply with legal obligations.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (UK GDPR)

We rely on the following legal bases for processing your personal data:

  • Legitimate Interests: For responding to your contact requests, operating and securing our website (server logs, IP logging for security, CAPTCHA), and providing features like embedded videos. We believe our legitimate interests do not unduly override your rights and freedoms.
  • Legal Obligation: Where we need to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal data.

We may share your information in the following limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: With third-party vendors and service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting and potentially analytics. These providers are contractually bound to protect your data.
  • Gumroad.com: Our online store is operated by Gumroad. Any personal or payment data you provide when purchasing through our store is collected and processed directly by Gumroad, not by us. See section 6.1 for more details.
  • Rumble.com: When you interact with embedded videos on our Site, data is shared with Rumble as described in their privacy policy. We do not directly control the data Rumble collects through its embedded player.
  • Legal Requirements: If required by law, regulation, or valid legal process (e.g., a court order or subpoena), we may disclose your information.
  • Business Transfers: In connection with any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business by another company.

6. Third-Party Services & External Links

Our Site incorporates or links to third-party services and websites. Please be aware that these services have their own privacy policies, and we do not accept any responsibility or liability for their policies or practices.

6.1 Our Store (Gumroad)

Our online store is accessible at store.digitalnasties.com. While this storefront appears on a subdomain of our Site, it is hosted, operated, and controlled by Gumroad, Inc. ("Gumroad"), a third-party e-commerce platform. We do not process or store any personal data, payment details, or order information submitted through the store ourselves; all such information is collected and handled directly by Gumroad in accordance with its own privacy policy.

When you browse, purchase, or otherwise interact with our store, you are interacting with Gumroad's platform and are subject to Gumroad's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, not this Privacy Policy. This includes any data Gumroad collects for the purposes of processing payments, fulfilling orders, preventing fraud, providing customer support, and its own marketing or analytics. We encourage you to review Gumroad's privacy policy before making a purchase.

  • Embedded Videos (Rumble): Videos embedded on our site are hosted by Rumble.com. Your interaction with these videos is subject to Rumble's Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review it here: https://rumble.com/s/privacy.
  • Other External Links: Our site may contain links to other websites not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure.

Your data is primarily processed and stored within the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area (EEA). If we transfer data outside these areas, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.

8. Data Retention

We retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

  • Contact Form Submissions: Retained for a reasonable period to address inquiries.
  • Server & Security Logs: Retained as long as necessary for security purposes.

9. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use essential cookies for the basic functioning of our Site (e.g., session cookies for CAPTCHA verification). Our Site may also load content from third parties (like Rumble for videos) who may use their own cookies and tracking technologies. Your interaction with these features is governed by the privacy policy of the company providing it.

You can control and/or delete cookies as you wish – for details, see https://www.aboutcookies.org. You can delete all cookies that are already on your computer and you can set most browsers to prevent them from being placed. If you do this, however, you may have to manually adjust some preferences every time you visit a site and some services and functionalities may not work.

  • Right of Access: To ask for copies of your personal data.
