Vintage Penguin Studios Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy
Your privacy is critically important to us. At Vintage Penguin Studios we have a few fundamental principles:
We don’t ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can’t stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income level for no apparent reason.)
We don’t share your personal information with anyone except to comply with the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
We don’t store personal information on our servers unless required for the on-going operation of one of our services.
Below is our privacy policy which incorporates these goals:
If you have questions about deleting or correcting your personal data please contact our support team.
Vintage Penguin Studios ("Vintage Penguin") operates a few websites including vintagepenguinstudios.com and vintagepenguin.com. It is Vintage Penguin’s policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our websites.
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Vintage Penguin collects non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request. Vintage Penguin’s purpose in collecting non-personally identifying information is to better understand how Vintage Penguin’s visitors use its website. From time to time, Vintage Penguin may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of its website.
Gathering of Personally-Identifying Information
Certain visitors to Vintage Penguin’s websites choose to interact with Vintage Penguin in ways that require Vintage Penguin to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that Vintage Penguin gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. Those who engage in transactions with Vintage Penguin are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions. In each case, Vintage Penguin collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfill the purpose of the visitor’s interaction with Vintage Penguin. Vintage Penguin does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below. And visitors can always refuse to supply personally-identifying information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
Vintage Penguin may collect statistics about the behavior of visitors to its websites. Vintage Penguin may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, Vintage Penguin does not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.
Protection of Certain Personally-Identifying Information
Vintage Penguin discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only to those of its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations that (i) need to know that information in order to process it on Vintage Penguin’s behalf or to provide services available at Vintage Penguin’s websites, and (ii) that have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors and affiliated organizations may be located outside of your home country; by using Vintage Penguin’s websites, you consent to the transfer of such information to them. Vintage Penguin will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information to anyone. Other than to its employees, contractors and affiliated organizations, as described above, Vintage Penguin discloses potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information only in response to a subpoena, court order or other governmental request, or when Vintage Penguin believes in good faith that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect the property or rights of Vintage Penguin, third parties or the public at large. If you are a registered user of a Vintage Penguin website and have supplied your email address, Vintage Penguin may occasionally send you an email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or just keep you up to date with what’s going on with Vintage Penguin and our products. We primarily use our various product blogs to communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type of email to a minimum. If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to help us support other users. Vintage Penguin takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorized access, use, alteration or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and personally-identifying information.

You acknowledge that such transfers may occur, and that any acquirer of Vintage Penguin may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.
