Privacy, Cookies, and Terms of Use
Privacy Policy
We at Secret Awesome Headquarters respect your privacy. Online privacy laws are complicated and constantly changing, and without a dedicated internet lawyer it’s difficult to be completely compliant, but we try our best.
We’re never going to sell or share your information, and we don’t collect analytic data (i.e. Google Analytics, despite what the experts say).
The information we do collect comes from our E-Zine Sign-up and Contact Form.
E-Zine Sign-up
We use MailChimp for managing and delivering our E-zine which contains entertainment and promotional material. This is by Opt-In only and the only information we store is the email address and name you provide. You can unsubscribe anytime from the link at the bottom of the emails or by contacting us. We won’t use your email address for anything else.
Contact Form
We use SendGrid by Twilio for processing our transactional emails through GMail. If you contact us through a form on our site we only receive your name, email, and message. We will only use this information to communicate with you on a one-on-one basis (unless other parties are involved in our conversation). After conversations are complete they will be archived in case they are needed for future reference. If you want our email conversation deleted permanently or your email removed from our contacts, please contact us.
YouTube
The videos on our site are hosted on YouTube. When you watch them you agree to their policies. We assume they collect your data. Sorry.
If you have any questions or concerns please get in touch. We’re trying to do things right by the law (when all we really want to do is make fun stuff).
Legalese
This section is to help cover our bases, it’s pretty much a template.
This Privacy Policy applies to the information and data collected by Secret Awesome HQ as a controller. It describes how we collect, receive, use, store, share, transfer, and process your personal information. It also describes your choices regarding use, as well as your rights of access and correction of your personal information. If you do not agree with the data practices described in this Privacy Policy, you should not use this website.
We reserve the right to use or disclose your Personal Information if required by law or if we reasonably believe that use or disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety, the safety of others, investigate fraud, or comply with a law, court order, or legal process.
Cookie Policy
