"Sell" or "sale" and "share" have the meanings assigned under applicable state privacy laws.

While we may receive information you voluntarily provide that could relate to your health, we do not operate as a covered entity or business associate under HIPAA, and information collected via our website is not Protected Health Information (PHI) under HIPAA.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to provide essential site functions, remember preferences, analyze traffic, and measure the effectiveness of content. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings or any on-site controls we provide. Blocking certain cookies may impact site functionality. Where supported, we make reasonable efforts to honor Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals as a request to opt out of sale or sharing under applicable law.

Retention of Personal Information

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy, comply with legal, regulatory, accounting, or reporting requirements, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention periods vary depending on the nature of the data and our legal obligations. When no longer needed, we take steps to delete, de-identify, or aggregate the information.

Selling or Sharing

You may opt out at any time by emailing [email protected] or by using a browser that sends a GPC signal; we treat a valid GPC signal as a request to opt out of sale/sharing for that browser.

Shine the Light Disclosure

California Civil Code § 1798.83 permits California residents to request certain information regarding our disclosure of personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes. We do not disclose personal information to third parties for their own direct marketing purposes.

Financial Incentives

We do not currently offer financial incentives related to the collection, retention, or sale of personal information.

Other U.S. State Privacy Rights

Residents of certain states (including Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and Utah) may have rights to access, correct, delete, and obtain a portable copy of personal information, and to opt out of targeted advertising, sale of personal data, and certain profiling. To exercise these rights, contact [email protected]. We will respond within the timeframes required by applicable law.

If we deny your request, you may appeal by emailing [email protected] with the subject line "Privacy Appeal." We will inform you in writing of any action taken or not taken in response to the appeal and provide further recourse information as required by law.

Nevada Privacy Rights

Nevada residents may opt out of the sale of covered information. We do not sell covered information as defined by Nevada law, but you may submit an opt-out request at [email protected].

Children’s Privacy

Our services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, please contact [email protected], and we will take appropriate steps to delete such information as required by law.

Security

We implement reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

International Users and Data Transfers

Studio AGD is based in the United States, and your information may be processed in the United States or other jurisdictions with different data protection laws than your place of residence. By using our services, you acknowledge such processing.

Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control

Some browsers offer "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals; because there is no industry standard for DNT, we do not respond to DNT signals. We make reasonable efforts to detect and honor Global Privacy Control signals as an opt-out of sale/sharing where required by applicable law.

Our website may include links to third-party websites, plug-ins, or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
