High Card Studios respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through https://highcardstudios.com, how we use it, and the choices available to you.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
Contact Form Information
When you contact us through our website, we may collect your name, email address, selected service, project details, and any other information you voluntarily provide.
Technical and Security Information
Our website and hosting providers may automatically collect limited technical information, including your IP address, browser type, device information, referring page, access times, and security logs. We use this information to operate, secure, and improve the website.
Cookies
The website may use essential cookies required for site functionality, security, preferences, and administrative access. Third-party services or embedded content may also set cookies according to their own privacy policies.
HOW WE USE INFORMATION
We may use collected information to:
• Respond to inquiries and project requests
• Provide estimates, services, and customer support
• Deliver website-generated emails
• Protect the website against spam, fraud, and unauthorized activity
• Maintain and improve website performance
• Meet applicable legal and recordkeeping obligations
We do not sell or rent personal information.
CONTACT FORMS AND EMAIL DELIVERY
Messages submitted through our contact form are processed through WordPress and Contact Form 7. Website-generated messages are delivered through WP Mail SMTP and Google Gmail services.
Contact-form messages may remain in our business email account until they are no longer needed for customer service, business, security, or legal purposes.
GOOGLE API AND GMAIL DATA
High Card Studios uses Google OAuth authorization and the Gmail API solely to allow the website to send legitimate transactional and contact-form emails through the authorized High Card Studios Gmail account.
The website does not use Google authorization to sell Gmail data, serve advertising, build advertising profiles, or independently review unrelated Gmail messages.
OAuth authorization credentials or tokens may be retained within the secured website configuration for as long as the connection remains active. Authorization may be revoked through the Google Account security settings or by disconnecting Google within WP Mail SMTP.
Our use and transfer of information received from Google APIs will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements:

THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS

Relevant providers may include WordPress, our website host, Cloudflare, Google, and WP Mail SMTP.
EMBEDDED CONTENT AND EXTERNAL LINKS
Pages on this website may contain embedded videos, images, social-media features, or links to other websites. Third-party content may collect information or use cookies as though you visited the third-party website directly. High Card Studios is not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites.
DATA RETENTION
We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary to respond to inquiries, provide requested services, maintain business records, protect the website, resolve disputes, and comply with applicable obligations.
DATA SECURITY
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards intended to protect information from unauthorized access, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. No website or electronic transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
YOUR PRIVACY CHOICES
You may contact us to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information you previously submitted, subject to applicable legal, security, and recordkeeping requirements.
