Privacy Policy.

Effective date: 17 June 2025  ·   CJM Studios — ABN / sole trader, Australia

1. Who We Are

CJM Studios ("we", "us", "our") is a digital studio based in Australia that provides website design, multiplayer server development, Discord server setup, and related digital services.

Questions about this policy can be sent to cjmstudios.au@gmail.com.

2. Information We Collect

We only collect information you provide directly to us. This includes:

  • Contact form submissions — your name, email address, selected service type, and message. Submitted via Formspree (see Section 6).
  • Cookie consent preference — stored in your browser's local storage only (never sent to a server).

We do not operate our own database, do not use analytics trackers (e.g. Google Analytics), and do not serve advertising or retargeting cookies.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To respond to your project enquiry or support request.
  • To provide you with the services you requested.
  • To send a one-time follow-up if we have not heard from you within a reasonable time (you can opt out at any time by replying to that email).
  • To comply with our legal obligations under Australian law.

We will never sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes.

4. Cookies & Local Storage

This website uses browser local storage — not traditional cookies — to store a single item:

cjm_cookie_consent — your accept/decline choice and the date it was made

This item is essential for the consent banner to function. It is never transmitted to any server and expires when you clear your browser data.

Google Fonts are loaded from Google's CDN when you visit the site. Google may log your IP address as a result. See Google's Privacy Policy.

5. Data Retention

  • Contact form submissions are retained by Formspree according to their own data retention policy. We may retain a copy of correspondence for up to 2 years for business purposes.
  • Local storage items persist until you clear your browser data or we update the consent mechanism.
  • We delete personal data upon request (see Section 8).

6. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services which may process your data according to their own privacy policies:

7. Security

We implement industry-standard measures to protect your information, including:

  • HTTPS/TLS encryption for all data in transit.
  • HTTP security headers (Content Security Policy, X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Strict-Transport-Security) on our web server.
  • Bot and spam protection on our contact form.
  • No storage of payment card details on our systems — all payment processing is handled by PCI-DSS compliant third parties.

No method of electronic transmission is 100% secure. If you believe your data has been compromised, please contact us immediately at cjmstudios.au@gmail.com.

8. Your Rights

Under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (and where applicable, the EU GDPR), you have the right to:

  • Access — request a copy of personal data we hold about you.
  • Correction — request correction of inaccurate data.
  • Deletion — request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal retention obligations.
  • Objection — object to processing of your data for direct marketing.
  • Portability — receive your data in a portable format (where technically feasible).

To exercise any right, email cjmstudios.au@gmail.com with the subject line "Privacy Request". We will respond within 30 days.

9. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed at children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Effective date" at the top of this page. Continued use of our website after any change constitutes your acceptance of the new policy.

For material changes we will endeavour to provide a more prominent notice.
