Our website address is: https://outsetstudios.com
Outset Studios (“we”, “our”, or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal data is handled in a safe and responsible manner.


Comments

When visitors leave comments on the 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.

An anonymized string (hash) created from your email address may be provided to the Gravatar service to determine if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here:

Once your comment is approved, your profile picture (if applicable) will be visible to the public alongside your comment.


Media

If you upload images to the website, please avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website may be able to download and extract location data from images published on the site.


Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site, you may opt in to saving your name, email address, and website in cookies. These cookies are for your convenience so you do not have to re-enter your details when leaving another comment. These cookies will remain for one year.

If you visit our login page, a temporary cookie will be set to determine whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, several cookies are set to save your login information and display preferences. Login cookies last for two days, and screen preference cookies last for one year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. Logging out will remove these cookies.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie contains no personal data and simply records the post ID of the edited article. It expires after one day.


Embedded Content from Other Websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (such as videos, images, or articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the same way as if you had visited the external website directly.

These external websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, particularly if you have an account and are logged in to that service.


Who We Share Your Data With

If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the password reset email for security purposes.

We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties.


How Long We Retain Your Data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its associated metadata are retained indefinitely. This allows us to automatically recognize and approve follow-up comments rather than holding them for moderation.

For users who register on our website (if applicable), we store the personal information provided in their user profile. Users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except for their username). Website administrators may also access and edit this information.


What Rights You Have Over Your Data

If you have an account on this site or have left comments, you may request an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided. You may also request that we erase your personal data.

This does not include any data we are required to retain for administrative, legal, or security purposes.


Where Your Data Is Sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
