Privacy Policy

Welcome to 338 Studios! This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data when you use our website at https://338studios.com.

Who We Are

Our website address is: https://338studios.com. 338 Studios LLC is committed to safeguarding your privacy. For any privacy-related questions, you can reach us at info@338studios.com.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on our site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, as well as the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. We use Gravity Forms Anti-spam honeypot and Google’s reCAPTCHA v3 to prevent spam.

An anonymized string (a hash) of your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service to check if you use it. You can view Gravatar’s privacy policy at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After comment approval, your profile picture may be visible to the public alongside your comment.

Google reCAPTCHA is subject to the Google Privacy Policy and Google Terms of Service.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience and last for one year.

When you log in, we set several cookies to save your login information and screen display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me,” your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out removes login cookies. Additional cookies may be set when editing or publishing an article, which expire after one day.

Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles or pages on this site may include embedded content (e.g., videos, images, or music players). Embedded content from other websites behaves as though you visited those websites directly. These sites may collect data, use cookies, and monitor interactions with their content, especially if you have an account and are logged in to that service.

Who We Share Your Data With

We do not share your data with any third-party services except as necessary to provide our core functionality, such as using Google reCAPTCHA for spam prevention.

How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely to recognize and approve follow-up comments without manual moderation.

For users who register for accounts, we store the personal information provided in their user profiles. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time, except their username. Website administrators can also view and edit this information.

Your Rights Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you can request an exported file of your personal data, including data you’ve provided. You can also request that we erase your data by emailing us at info@338studios.com. This excludes data we must retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through automated spam detection services, including Google reCAPTCHA v3. Additionally, our website is hosted on AWS cloud servers, which may process and store data globally.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics to track visitor interactions and improve site performance. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymized data about site traffic and usage. You can learn more about Google’s privacy practices at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
