Privacy Policy & Legal Disclaimer

Effective Date: November 1, 2023

Adult Content & Age Restriction

This Site contains sexually explicit material intended only for adults aged 18 years or older (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction). By accessing this Site, you confirm that:

You meet the legal age requirement for viewing adult content where you reside.
You accept your local community standards regarding such material.
You will prevent minors from accessing this Site and take responsibility if they do.

We implement an age verification gate as a barrier to minors, but cannot be held liable if age is misrepresented. If you do not meet these criteria, please leave the Site immediately.

What Data We Collect and How

We collect information to operate the Site, provide features like age verification, and communicate with users.

1. Information You Provide Directly

Contact Form: When using our contact form, we collect your Name, Email Address, Subject, and Message content. This data is processed (potentially via a third-party service like Web3Forms) solely to receive and respond to your inquiry or support request.
Age Verification: To verify your age, we may ask for your birth month, day, and year. We do not store your full birthdate on our servers after verification. We only store a confirmation token (e.g., in your browser's localStorage) indicating you have passed the age check for future visits.

2. Information Collected Automatically (Usage Data)

When you visit the Site, we and our hosting provider (e.g., Cloudflare) may automatically log technical information sent by your browser or device. This can include your IP address, browser type/version, the pages you visit on our Site, the time and date of your visit, time spent on pages, and other diagnostic data. This information is primarily used for security (e.g., preventing attacks), ensuring Site functionality, and basic analytics.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Cookies: These are small files stored on your device. We use essential cookies for Site functionality, such as remembering your age verification status. Disabling cookies might prevent parts of the Site from working correctly.
localStorage: We use your browser's localStorage to store data like your age verification confirmation, so you don't have to re-verify on every visit. This data remains until you clear your browser's cache/storage.
Analytics Services (Google Analytics, Cloudflare Analytics): We use these services to understand how visitors use our Site, which helps us improve it. They collect data like IP addresses, browser details, and navigation patterns. We receive only aggregated or anonymized reports from these services and do not use them to identify individual users personally. Their data collection is governed by their respective privacy policies.

How We Use Your Data

Wargnema Studios uses the collected data for these primary purposes:

To operate, maintain, and provide the features of the Site (including age verification).
To respond to your inquiries submitted via the contact form.
To monitor Site usage and analyze trends (using aggregated analytics data) to improve user experience and performance.
To protect the security and integrity of our Site and user data (e.g., investigating suspicious activity).

We will not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes. We may disclose data if required by law, to enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others' rights, property, or safety. In the event of a merger or asset sale, data may be transferred, but the acquiring party would be bound by this policy.

Data Storage and Retention

We store your information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Contact Form Data: Stored securely only as long as needed to address your inquiry. It may be processed initially by third-party form handlers according to their terms.
Age Verification Confirmation: Stored in your browser's localStorage until cleared by you. We do not retain the submitted birthdate on our servers.
Usage & Analytics Data: Often aggregated or anonymized and retained according to the policies of our hosting and analytics providers (e.g., Cloudflare, Google Analytics).

We implement reasonable security measures to protect data, but cannot guarantee absolute security due to the inherent risks of online transmission.

Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data. We aim to respect these rights universally:

The right to access: You can request copies of the personal data we hold about you.
The right to rectification: You can request correction of inaccurate data or completion of incomplete data.
The right to erasure: You can request deletion of your personal data under certain conditions.
The right to restrict processing: You can request that we limit how we use your personal data under certain conditions.

The right to data portability: You can request transfer of the data we collected to another organization, or directly to you, under certain conditions.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details on our Contact page. We will respond to requests within a reasonable timeframe, typically within one month, acknowledging we are a small team.

Marketing Communications

We currently do not use your personal data (like email addresses from the contact form) to send marketing emails or newsletters. If this changes, we will update this policy and provide opt-out options.

Fictional Content Disclaimer

All stories, characters, images, and scenarios depicted on this Site are entirely fictional works intended for adult entertainment. Any resemblance to real individuals, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. The content does not endorse or depict illegal acts, particularly those involving minors.

Third-Party Services & Links

Our Site contains links to external websites and platforms (like Discord, Patreon, Itch.io, F95zone). These sites have their own separate privacy policies. We do not control and are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of these third parties.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational precautions to protect your personal data. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage method is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
