Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Guavalin Studio ("Guavalin," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit guavalin.com or interact with us. We believe in collecting the minimum amount of data needed to operate well — and being clear about it.

Information you provide. When you email us or respond to a contact prompt, you may share your name, email address, and any other details you choose to include.

Automatically collected information. When you visit the site, we may collect standard server log data such as your IP address, browser type, referring URL, pages visited, and timestamps. This data is used to operate, secure, and improve the site.

Cookies and similar technologies. The site uses strictly necessary cookies to function correctly and may use privacy-respecting analytics to understand aggregate visitor behavior. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or sell data to advertisers.

We use the information we collect to:

• Respond to inquiries and provide requested information.
• Operate, maintain, and improve the site.
• Detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, abuse, or security incidents.
• Comply with applicable legal obligations.

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share limited information with:

• Service providers who help us operate the site (e.g. hosting, analytics, email delivery), under contract and only to the extent necessary.
• Legal authorities if required to do so by law, subpoena, court order, or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of others.
• A successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, or as required by law. Communications may be retained for as long as our relationship is active, plus a reasonable period thereafter.

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Depending on your jurisdiction (including the EU/EEA, UK, and California), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information, to restrict or object to certain processing, or to withdraw consent. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at justin.lin@guavalin.com.

The site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Guavalin is based in the United States. If you access the site from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those of your country.

The site may link to third-party websites or services that operate under their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third parties.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Effective" date at the top of this page. Material changes will be communicated through the site.
