Privacy Policy

Last updated: [DATE] · CHIPPWALTERS.com

This Privacy Policy explains what information CHIPPWALTERS.com ("we," "us," "the site") collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to this website only. Our tools are distributed through third-party platforms and direct downloads, each of which may have its own terms.

This is a starting template, not legal advice. Have it reviewed by a qualified professional before publishing, and replace every [BRACKETED] placeholder.

1. Information we collect

We aim to collect as little as possible. Specifically:

• Email address. When you sign up for updates, a newsletter, or to receive a free download, we collect the email address you provide so we can send you the requested file, release notes, and occasional product news.
• Usage data. We may collect basic, aggregated analytics (pages visited, referring site, approximate region, device/browser type) to understand how the site is used. [Specify your analytics provider, e.g. Plausible, Fathom, Google Analytics.]
• Messages you send. If you contact us directly, we keep your message and contact details to respond and for our records.

We do not process payments on this site and do not collect payment or billing information here. Purchases happen on third-party marketplaces (such as Superhive Market), governed by their own privacy policies.

2. How we use your information

• To deliver the free downloads, files, or updates you request.
• To send release notes and product news you've opted into — you can unsubscribe at any time.
• To understand and improve how the site and our tools are used.
• To respond to your questions and provide support.

We never sell your personal information.

3. Email & third-party services

We use trusted third-party providers to operate the site and our mailing list. These may include [your email/newsletter provider, e.g. ConvertKit, Mailchimp, Buttondown], [your analytics provider], and [your hosting provider]. These providers process data on our behalf and only as needed to provide their service.

Links to Patreon, Discord, and product marketplaces take you to external sites that operate under their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the practices of those services.

4. Cookies

[Describe your cookie use. If you use privacy-friendly, cookieless analytics, state that. If you set cookies for analytics or preferences, list them and explain how visitors can opt out or manage them in their browser.]

5. Your rights & choices

Depending on where you live (for example, under GDPR or CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal information, and to opt out of marketing emails. Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link, and you can contact us any time to exercise these rights.

We retain personal information only as long as needed for the purposes above, or as required by law.

6. Children

This site is intended for professional and adult creative users and is not directed at children under [13/16]. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date above. Significant changes will be noted on this page.
