Sharing information 

We may work with trusted service providers such as hosting, analytics, or technology partners. They may process data on our behalf, but only under our direction. We do not sell your personal information.

Your rights and choices 

We apply the California Consumer Privacy Act, also known as CCPA or CPRA, standards to all users. 

This means you may request to know what categories of personal information we collect, use, and share. You may request access to a copy of the personal information we hold about you. You may request that we delete your personal information, subject to limited exceptions such as legal obligations. You may opt out of the sale of personal information, although we do not sell data. You may not be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights. 

If you live in a region with additional protections, such as the European Union, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland under GDPR, you also have those rights. To exercise your rights, contact us at patrick[at]laurelstudio.me. We may need to verify your identity before processing requests.

GDPR and international users

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you may withdraw consent at any time. You may request data portability, meaning a copy of your information in a usable format. You may object to certain processing, including processing for marketing. You may file a complaint with your local data protection authority. 

If we transfer your information outside the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, we will ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses.

Security and retention 

We use reasonable safeguards to protect your information. We keep it only as long as needed to provide services or meet legal obligations.
