HOW DO WE HANDLE YOUR INFORMATION?
Unlicensed Studio is a creative studio that also operates an online store and a web application with user accounts. Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect the following information: when you contact us through our enquiry or contact forms, we collect your name, email address, and the contents of your message; when you create an account, we collect your email address, password (stored in hashed form), and any profile details you choose to provide; when you make a purchase from our store, we collect your name, billing and shipping address, email, phone number, and payment details necessary to fulfil your order; and as you browse our site or use our app, we automatically collect technical information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, and basic usage analytics to help us improve the experience. With your consent, we may also send you occasional emails about new work, products, or updates from the studio.
How do we obtain your approval?
When you provide personal details to complete a specific task — for example sending us a message through a contact form, creating an account, placing an order, or processing a payment, refund, or delivery — we take this as your consent to collect and use that information for that purpose.
For any other use, such as marketing emails, product announcements, or newsletters, we will ask for your explicit consent and always offer you a clear option to opt out.
How can you revoke your approval?
If you change your mind, you can withdraw your consent for us to contact you, or to continue collecting, using, or disclosing your information, at any time by emailing us at hello@unlicensedstudio.com.
We may disclose your personal information if we are required to do so by law, or if you violate our Terms of Service.
We rely on a number of trusted third-party providers to run the studio, store, and application — including payment processors, hosting and cloud infrastructure providers, email and analytics tools, and customer support platforms. As a rule, these providers only access and use your data to the extent required to perform the services we ask of them. Some providers, particularly those involved in payment processing, have their own privacy policies governing the information we must share with them to complete your transaction, and we encourage you to read those policies to understand how your data is handled. Some of these providers may operate outside your country or ours, which means your information may be subject to the laws of those jurisdictions. Once you leave our site or app — for example by following an external link — our Privacy Policy and Terms of Service no longer apply, and we recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
We take reasonable, industry-standard measures to protect your personal information against accidental loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, or alteration. Account passwords are stored using strong one-way hashing, traffic between your device and our servers is encrypted in transit using TLS, and payment details are handled by PCI-DSS compliant payment processors — we do not store full card numbers on our own servers. While no method of transmission or electronic storage is ever completely secure, we follow widely recognised industry practices to keep your information safe.
We use cookies and similar technologies to keep our site and app working properly and to understand how they're used. Broadly, the cookies we set fall into three categories:
Essential cookies — required for core functionality such as keeping you signed in to your account, remembering items in your cart during a checkout flow, and protecting against cross-site request forgery. The site will not function correctly without these.
Preference cookies — used to remember choices you make, such as your preferred language or display settings, so the experience feels consistent across visits.
Analytics cookies — used to collect aggregated, anonymised information about how visitors interact with the site (such as which pages are viewed and how people arrive at the site) so we can improve it over time.
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Please note that disabling essential cookies may prevent parts of the site or app from working as intended.
By using this site, creating an account, or making a purchase, you confirm that you have reached the age of majority in your country, state, or province of residence. If you are a parent or legal guardian, you confirm that you have given consent for any minor dependent in your care to use this site.

UPDATES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY
We may update this privacy policy from time to time, so we encourage you to review it periodically. Any changes take effect as soon as they are published on this page. Where changes are significant, we will highlight them clearly so you understand what information we collect, how we use it, and when it may be disclosed. If Unlicensed Studio is ever acquired by, merged with, or sells assets to another company, your information may be transferred to the new owners so that the continuity of our services and any products you have purchased can be maintained.
