Privacy Policy
1. Who we are
Studio Sünshine is an independent digital product studio creating small, useful, fun and occasionally ridiculous apps and digital products.
For privacy purposes, references to "Studio Sünshine", "we", "us" or "our" refer to Studio Sünshine.
2. Information we may collect
Depending on which Studio Sünshine website or product you use, we may receive information such as:
- Information you voluntarily provide to us, such as your name or email address.
- Messages or other information you send when contacting us.
- Information required to provide a particular app or service.
- Basic technical information that may be automatically provided by your browser or hosting provider.
Not every Studio Sünshine product collects all of these types of information. The information collected depends on the specific product and how you use it.
3. How we use information
Where information is collected, we may use it to:
- Provide, operate and maintain our products.
- Respond to questions, requests or support messages.
- Improve our websites, apps and digital products.
- Detect, prevent or investigate technical problems or misuse.
- Meet legal or regulatory obligations where applicable.
4. Information stored by our apps
Some Studio Sünshine apps may be designed to store information locally on your device rather than sending that information to our servers.
Where an app operates offline or uses local browser storage, information may remain on your device and may be lost if you clear the app's data, browser storage or uninstall the app.
The exact data handling of each product may differ, so please refer to the relevant product information where available.
5. Third-party services
Some products may use third-party services for functions such as hosting, payments, analytics, communications or other technical services.
Where this happens, those third parties may process information in accordance with their own privacy policies and terms.
We do not control the privacy practices of independent third-party services.
6. Payments
Where a Studio Sünshine product offers paid features, payments may be processed by an external payment provider.
We do not intend to store your full payment card details on our own systems. Payment information is handled by the relevant payment provider according to its own security and privacy practices.
7. Cookies and similar technologies
Our websites may use cookies or similar technologies where necessary for functionality, security, analytics or other legitimate purposes.
If a particular product uses additional tracking or advertising technologies, we aim to provide appropriate information about those technologies within that product.
8. Sharing information
We do not sell your personal information.
Information may be shared with service providers where reasonably necessary to operate a product, process a transaction, provide technical infrastructure, respond to you, or comply with a legal obligation.
9. Data security
We take reasonable steps to protect information under our control. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
10. Your privacy rights
Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, you may have rights relating to your personal information, including rights to request access, correction or deletion of information and to object to certain processing.
South African privacy law, including the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), may apply to the processing of personal information.
11. Children's privacy
Our products are not generally intended to knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate consent where such consent is legally required.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as our products, services or legal obligations change.
The latest version will be published on this page with the updated date.
13. Contact
If you have a privacy question, request or concern, please contact Studio Sünshine through the contact details provided on our website.
