Privacy Policy

Data Controller

Friangian Foundry Studios, Inc.

Data we collect

We collect information you provide directly, such as your email address when you subscribe to our newsletter or leave a comment. We also collect certain information automatically, including your IP address, browser type, device information, and pages you visit, through cookies and similar technologies.

We may also collect aggregate data about how readers interact with our content, such as article views, time spent on pages, and referral sources. This helps us understand what topics are most relevant to our audience.

How we use data

We use the information we collect to operate, maintain, and improve Friangian Foundry, including delivering newsletters, responding to comments or inquiries, and personalizing your experience.

We also use data to analyze trends, monitor site performance, and ensure the security of our website. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Cookies & tracking

Friangian Foundry uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to remember your preferences, understand reading behavior, and provide a smoother browsing experience. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling them may affect certain features.

We may also use web beacons or pixel tags to measure the effectiveness of our content and email campaigns. These tools allow us to understand how users engage with our materials.

Third-party services

We may work with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating Friangian Foundry, such as hosting providers, analytics platforms, and email delivery services. These providers are granted access to personal data only to the extent necessary to perform their functions and are contractually obligated to protect it.

Our site may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites and encourage you to review their policies.

Data sharing

We do not share, sell, rent, or trade your personal information with unrelated third parties for their own marketing purposes. We may disclose information if required by law, or in the good-faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with legal obligations, protect our rights, or ensure the safety of our users.

In the event of a business transfer, such as a merger or acquisition, user data may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you before your information becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

International transfers

Friangian Foundry may be accessed from around the world. If you are located outside the country where our servers are hosted, your information may be transferred to and processed in another country. We take appropriate safeguards to ensure that your data receives an adequate level of protection.

By using Friangian Foundry, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred to facilities outside your region and stored in accordance with this policy.

User rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate information, request deletion of your data, and request portability of your data in a structured, machine-readable format.

You may also object to or restrict certain processing activities. To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within the timeframe required by applicable law.

Children

Friangian Foundry is not directed to children under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately so we can take appropriate action.

If we learn that we have collected personal data from a child without verified parental consent, we will delete that information as soon as possible.

Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. For example, newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion.

When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it so that it cannot be associated with you.

Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We encourage you to help protect your own information by keeping your account credentials confidential and using strong, unique passwords where applicable.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. The updated version will be posted on this page with the effective date at the top.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or through a prominent notice on Friangian Foundry before the changes take effect.

Contact

If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or your personal data, please contact us at [email protected].

We will do our best to address your inquiry promptly and in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
