Privacy Policy
4080 Studio ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website at 4080studio.com. This policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and how we handle it. We keep this straightforward, no legalese where plain English will do.
1. Information we collect
Information you give us
When you fill in the contact form or reach out by email, you share your name, email address, company name, and whatever you include in your message. We only collect what you send us.
Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our servers log basic technical data when you visit, IP address, browser type, pages viewed, and the time of your visit. This helps us understand how the site is used and diagnose technical issues.
Analytics
We use analytics tools to measure traffic and improve the site. We also use the Meta Pixel, provided by Meta Platforms, to measure the results of our ads on Facebook and Instagram. The Meta Pixel sends Meta information such as the pages you view, your IP address, and browser details, and Meta may link this to your Meta account and use it under its own privacy policy. If you're visiting from the EU, EEA, or UK, analytics and the Meta Pixel stay off until you accept them via the cookie prompt, decline and none of these cookies are set. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as an opt-out and the Meta Pixel does not load. You can reopen your choice any time from the cookie preferences.
2. How we use your information
We use the information we collect to:
- Respond to your enquiries and discuss potential projects
- Deliver the services you've engaged us for
- Send occasional updates if you've opted in, you can unsubscribe at any time
- Improve the website and understand what content is most useful
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.
3. How we store your information
Your data is stored on secure servers. We retain contact enquiry data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purpose it was collected for, and no longer. Active client data is kept for the duration of the engagement plus seven years to satisfy tax and accounting requirements.
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
4. Third-party services
We use a small number of trusted third-party tools to run the business, for example, email and project communication platforms. These providers process data on our behalf and are bound by their own privacy policies and data processing agreements. The one exception is the Meta Pixel described above, which shares website activity with Meta for ad measurement and advertising. Apart from that, we do not share your data with third parties for their own marketing purposes.
5. Cookies
This website may use cookies for essential functionality and, if analytics are active, to measure site traffic, and Meta Pixel cookies (such as _fbp) to measure our ads. Visitors in the EU, EEA, and UK are asked for consent before any analytics or advertising cookies are set, and both stay disabled unless consent is given. You can also control cookies through your browser settings, disabling them will not significantly affect your experience on this site.
6. Your rights
Depending on where you are located, you may have rights under applicable data protection laws, including the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your data (subject to legal retention requirements)
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Data portability where technically feasible
To exercise any of these rights, email us at hello@4080studio.com. We will respond within 30 days.
7. Children's privacy
Our services are not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
8. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
