PRIVACY POLICY

Effective September 25, 2026

This policy explains what information Gloop Gloop ("we", "us") collects when you visit gloopgloopinc.com (the "Site"), how it is used, and the choices you have. We keep it short because we collect very little.

WHAT WE COLLECT

What you send us. If you use the COLLAB or BOOK forms, we receive the details you type in: your name, email address, Instagram handle or website (collab), date or timeline (booking) and your message.
Standard server logs. Our hosting provider automatically records basic technical information for every request, such as IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time. This is used to keep the Site running and secure.
Site analytics (our own, first-party). To understand how many people visit and how the Site is used, we record: that a page was loaded, how long it was visible, which parts were used (for example opening ART, viewing an artwork, opening or sending the COLLAB or BOOK forms), the referring website, your device type, browser and operating system, and your approximate country and city (worked out from your IP address by our host).
Recognising repeat visitors. So a returning visitor is not counted twice, we keep a one-way, salted hash of your IP address and of a random device ID. The device ID is created in your browser's local storage the first time you visit. The raw IP address is not stored, and the hashes are only used to tell whether we have seen that IP or device before. Your browser also stores when you were last active, so visits can be grouped into sessions.
Your entry confirmation. When you confirm you are 18 or older and accept the warning, your browser stores a small note (in local storage, on your device only) so you are not asked again for 30 days. It contains only the date you confirmed. It is never sent to us.

We do not use cookies, third-party analytics services, advertising trackers, or social media pixels. Analytics are only ever shown to us as totals; we do not build profiles of individual visitors or share analytics with anyone.

HOW WE USE IT

To read and reply to your collab or booking inquiry, and to arrange any work you ask about.
To operate, secure and fix the Site.
To measure visits and how the Site is used, so we can improve it.
To meet legal obligations, if any apply.

We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.

WHO WE SHARE IT WITH

Only the service providers needed to run the Site, who process data on our behalf:

Vercel, which hosts the Site, keeps the server logs described above, provides approximate location from IP addresses, and stores the art and analytics data.
Resend, which delivers the inquiry you submit to our inbox as an email.

We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect our rights, our visitors or the public.

HOW LONG WE KEEP IT

Inquiry emails are kept for as long as needed to respond and for our business records, and are deleted on request unless we have to keep them by law. Server logs are kept by our host for a limited period under its own retention policy. Individual analytics events are combined into daily totals and deleted after the day ends; the hashed IP and device markers are kept while we run analytics so returning visitors are recognised.

YOUR CHOICES AND RIGHTS

You can ask us to show you, correct or delete the personal information you sent us. Depending on where you live (for example California or the EU/UK), you may have further rights under laws such as the CCPA or GDPR, including the right to object to or restrict processing. To make a request, contact us through the COLLAB or BOOK form on the Site and say what you would like. We will not treat you differently for making a request.

You can remove the entry confirmation, device ID and activity note at any time by clearing this Site's data in your browser.

18+ ONLY

The Site is intended only for adults aged 18 or older. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If you believe someone under 18 has sent us information, contact us and we will delete it.

OTHER SITES

The Site links to other services, such as Instagram. Their own privacy policies apply once you leave the Site.

SECURITY

The Site is served over encrypted HTTPS, and inquiries are sent over encrypted connections. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect what you send us.

CHANGES

We may update this policy. The effective date at the top shows when it last changed. Significant changes will be shown on the entry screen.
