Welcome to AppleByte Art’s Privacy Policy! We know this stuff can be boring, but hey, someone’s gotta say it. Let’s dive into how we keep your personal info safe—and yes, with a sprinkle of good vibes!
What Data We Collect
Let’s start with the basics:
- Personal Info: Your name, email, and maybe your favorite ice cream flavor (kidding, but hey, you can tell us).
- Browsing Info: What pages you visit, how long you stay, and whether you actually read this Privacy Policy (we see you skimming).
- Cookies: These are digital snacks we use to remember you—not as tasty as chocolate chip, but just as important. But we will try not to collect it.
Why We Collect It
We collect your data because we care (and because running a website without it is like baking cookies without dough):
- To make our website work like a charm.
- To send you emails you actually signed up for (no spam, we promise).
- To understand what you like so we can do more of that—and less of the boring stuff.
How We Protect Your Data
Your data is precious, and we treat it like a Fabergé egg: carefully and with love.
- We use encryption, firewalls, and secret handshakes (okay, maybe not the last one).
- Only authorized team members get access, and they have to pinky-promise not to mess it up.
Sharing Your Data
We don’t sell, trade, or barter your data. Ever. If we share your data, it’s only with:
- Trusted services that help us run this website (think payment processors, email tools, and the occasional friendly IT wizard).
- Law enforcement if required (but only if they say “please” and show us the proper paperwork).
What About Downloading Images?
Ah, so you’ve got an eye for our awesome visuals! Here’s the deal:
- Our images are not freebies: Some of the photos, graphics, or doodles on this site is copyrighted. Think of them like digital snowflakes—unique, special, and ours.
- Permission required: Want to use one? Ask us first and send your message here. We’re nice and might say yes (especially if you say “please”).
- No sneaky business: Downloading images without permission is a no-go. Not only is it against the rules, but it might also give you a case of bad karma.
Deconstructing and Reposting Content
We know our content is share-worthy (blush), but let’s set a few ground rules:
- No Unauthorized Chopping: Deconstructing, remixing, or repackaging our posts for your own social media with different narrative and meaning is not cool.
- Credit Where It’s Due: If you share our posts or content on social media, we expect proper credit (tag us, mention us, shout us out—we’re flexible, but don’t ghost us). Please share it as it!
- The Copy and Paste: Reposting entire posts word-for-word is allowed but please credit us, because respect is everything.
- Ask Before You Post: When in doubt, drop us a message here. We’re all for collaborations, just not surprises.
Your Choices
We believe in giving you the power (like He-Man, but for privacy). Here’s what you can do:
- Opt-out of emails: Click the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any email. It’s painless, we swear.
- Disable cookies: Adjust your browser settings. Just don’t blame us if the site gets cranky.
- Request your data: Send us message, and we’ll hand it over faster than a hot potato.
Kids’ Privacy
If you’re under 13, you shouldn’t be here without permission from your grown-up (and maybe a bedtime story). We don’t knowingly collect info from kids, so please, ask your parents first.
Changes to This Policy
We might update this policy occasionally—like a software update, but less annoying. When we do, we’ll post the changes here and maybe even send a heads-up email (if we’re feeling fancy).
Got Questions?
If you’re curious about how we handle your data, our copyright rules, or just want to say hi, send us message here. We promise to respond faster than you can say “privacy policy!”
