Privacy Policy

I’m Volodymyr Papush, the maker behind 21CNCStudio. I run this website personally from England, United Kingdom and am responsible for the personal information described here.

For privacy questions and requests, email contact@21cncstudio.com.

This notice covers this website, Studio accounts and the browser tools described here. Purchases, payments and paid memberships take place on external platforms. Check the privacy information of the platform and seller identified there for those separate transactions.

Studio accounts

Your email address, any profile information you provide, verification status and sign-in records. Clerk handles account credentials, sessions and sign-in security. This information lets me provide account access to the generators.

Comments

Your chosen name or nickname, comment, article, submission time and moderation record. After approval, your name, comment and date appear publicly. You can comment without creating an account; the comment form does not ask for your email.

Email enquiries

Your email address, name and the message or attachments you choose to send. My email host forwards messages to my Gmail inbox so I can reply.

Technical and security information

Hosting and sign-in providers process network, browser, device and request information to deliver the website, troubleshoot failures and prevent misuse. The comments service uses short-lived, salted network identifiers for abuse prevention.

Your designs

The browser editors process drawings and projects on your device. Their local drafts and downloaded project files are not uploaded by the editors. If you choose to email a file for help, I receive it as part of that enquiry.

I rely on my legitimate interests in running and securing the website and free account service, responding to enquiries and preventing misuse. I use the information needed for those purposes.

When you submit a comment for publication, you choose to share the name and text shown in the form. You can ask me to remove your comment. Loading an optional YouTube player is a separate choice made on the page.

Creating a Studio account does not add you to a mailing list. This website currently has no advertising pixels or a separate website analytics integration. Service providers still process operational and security information.

Sign-in security checks may temporarily block access. Contact me if you need help with an account or believe a restriction is mistaken.

These providers may process information outside the UK, including in the United States. Their privacy and data-processing documents explain their processing locations and transfer arrangements. Clerk’s data-processing terms describe the Data Privacy Framework, including its UK extension. Contact me if you need details of the arrangements relevant to your information.

Clerk uses authentication and security cookies to keep you signed in and verify your session. These can include __session, __client and __client_uat. Blocking these cookies can prevent account access. How Clerk uses cookies.

The website can remember a theme choice on your device. Christmas Ornaments keeps local drafts in your browser. Download an editable project copy before clearing browser data or switching browsers.

YouTube players load after you choose Load YouTube video. Loading a player connects to Google and may use its cookies or local storage. You can close the player on the page; your browser’s settings control stored site data. An external YouTube link is also available.

I keep account information while the account is in use, and enquiry records for as long as needed to answer and follow up. Security, dispute or legal records may need to be kept longer for the relevant purpose. You can ask me to close your account.

Approved comments can remain alongside the article. Unpublished comments and moderation records support review and abuse handling. You can request removal or correction of your own contribution.

Encrypted comments backups follow a rolling 30-day retention schedule. Information removed from live records may remain in an older backup until that copy expires. Local drafts remain in your browser until you remove them or clear its storage; downloaded files remain under your control.

Infrastructure and account providers also maintain their operational and security records under their applicable service terms.

Contact contact@21cncstudio.com to request access, correction, deletion or restriction of your personal information, or portability where applicable. I may need enough information to identify the relevant account or comment and verify the request.

You can object to processing based on legitimate interests. You can also withdraw a choice to publish a comment by requesting its removal, or stop an optional video by closing its player.

You can complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office: ico.org.uk. You can contact me first so I can try to resolve the issue.

I will update this notice when the website’s handling of information changes. The date above identifies this version.
