1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Hyper Studios ("we," "us," "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit hyperstudios.cc (the "Site") or interact with our forms and sign-in features.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following ways:
- Account information via Discord sign-in: if you sign in with Discord (available to team members), we receive your Discord user ID, username, avatar, and the email address associated with your Discord account, as permitted by Discord's OAuth authorization scope.
- Form submissions: if you submit our contact form or "Work With Us" application, we collect the information you provide — such as your name, email address, Discord handle, and project or application details.
- Usage data: standard technical data such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited, collected automatically by our hosting infrastructure for security and performance purposes.
- Cookies: we use a single functional, strictly-necessary cookie to keep signed-in team members logged in. We do not use analytics, advertising, or third-party tracking cookies.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Operate and maintain the Site and the team sign-in system;
- Respond to contact form submissions and evaluate "Work With Us" applications;
- Display team member profiles, portfolio items, reviews, and partner information that an admin has chosen to publish;
- Maintain the security and integrity of the Site.
4. Disclosure of Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information:
- With service providers who help us operate the Site (e.g., our hosting provider), solely to provide that service;
- Via Discord webhook when you submit the contact or application form — submissions are posted to a private Discord channel used internally by Hyper Studios to review inquiries;
- If required by law, legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Hyper Studios or others;
- In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, in which case affected users would be notified.
5. Data Security
We take reasonable technical measures to protect the information we hold, including restricting admin access to a closed allowlist of authorized team members and storing data on infrastructure we directly manage. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise any of these rights — including requesting removal of your Discord account's association with our sign-in system, or deletion of a form submission — contact us using the details below.
