Privacy Policy
Effective Date: July 27, 2025
At SIEKSTUDIO, your privacy is important to us. This policy outlines what personal data we collect, how it’s used, and your rights when engaging with our website at https://siekstudio.com.
Who We Are
Our website address is: https://siekstudio.com
Newsletter & Email Subscriptions
When you subscribe to our mailing list, we collect your email address to share updates on new artwork, exclusive discount codes, and studio news. Your email is securely stored through our email service provider and is never sold or shared with third parties for marketing purposes.
You can unsubscribe anytime using the link found at the bottom of any email we send.
Comments
If you leave a comment on the site (if enabled), we collect the data you enter in the form, as well as your IP address and browser user agent to help detect spam.
An anonymized hash of your email may be sent to the Gravatar service to see if you’re using it. You can read their privacy policy at https://automattic.com/privacy. Once your comment is approved, your profile image may appear next to your comment.
Uploaded Media
If you upload images to the site, avoid including location data (EXIF GPS), as visitors may be able to extract that data.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience. These last for one year.
Visiting our login page sets a temporary cookie to check if your browser accepts cookies — it contains no personal data and is discarded when the browser closes.
If you log in, cookies are used to store your login and display preferences. Login cookies last two days; screen preference cookies last one year. Selecting “Remember Me” will keep you logged in for two weeks. Logging out removes these cookies.
Publishing or editing content sets an additional cookie with the post ID. It contains no personal data and expires in one day.
Embedded Content
Our pages may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images) from external websites. These behave as if you had visited the source site directly and may collect your data, use cookies, and track your interaction.
Who We Share Your Data With
We do not share your data with third-party marketers. If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Data Retention
Comments and associated metadata are stored indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically.
If you register an account (if applicable), your personal data is stored in your user profile. You may view, edit, or delete your personal info at any time (excluding username changes). Site administrators can also access and modify this data.
Your Rights
If you have an account or have left comments, you may request a copy of your personal data or ask us to delete it. This does not include data we’re required to retain for legal, administrative, or security purposes.
Data Processing
Visitor comments may be processed through an automated spam detection system.
