Privacy Policy
Who We Are
Welcome to Oh Hey! Studios—where we make funny things for people with questionable senses of humor.
Our website is ohheystudios.com.
We respect your privacy and do our best not to be creepy about your information. This policy explains what information our website may collect, why we collect it, and what happens to it once it enters the internet.
Because apparently “trust us, we’re cool” isn’t legally sufficient.
Comments
If you leave a comment on our website, we may collect the information you provide in the comment form, along with your IP address and browser user-agent string.
Why? Mostly to help detect spam.
Because while we appreciate enthusiasm, we don’t need 47 comments from a bot named TotallyRealHuman847.
An anonymized version of your email address (a hash) may also be provided to Gravatar to determine whether you have a profile image associated with it.
If your comment is approved, your Gravatar profile picture may be publicly visible alongside your comment.
You can read Gravatar’s privacy policy through Automattic’s website if you’d like to dive deeper into the exciting world of digital privacy.
Media
If you upload images to our website, please avoid uploading images that contain embedded location data (EXIF GPS).
Why?
Because that innocent-looking vacation photo might also be carrying around the exact coordinates of where you took it.
Visitors may be able to download images from the website and extract that location data.
In other words: maybe don’t accidentally publish your home coordinates along with your meme.
Cookies
Yes, we use cookies.
No, unfortunately, they’re not chocolate chip.
Cookies are small pieces of data stored by your browser that help websites remember certain information and function properly.
Comment Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may choose to save your name, email address, and website in cookies so you don’t have to type them all again the next time you comment.
These cookies last for one year.
Because making you type your email address twice would just be rude.
Login Cookies
If you visit our login page, we’ll set a temporary cookie to check whether your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and disappears when you close your browser.
When you log in, additional cookies may be used to remember your login information and screen display preferences.
- Login cookies last for two days
- Screen preference cookies last for one year
- Selecting “Remember Me” keeps you logged in for two weeks
- Logging out removes the login cookies
Editing Cookies
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie may be stored in your browser.
It contains no personal data. It simply remembers the ID of the post you just edited.
It expires after one day.
Very exciting stuff. We promise.
Embedded Content From Other Websites
Some pages on our website may include embedded content from other websites, such as:
- Videos
- Images
- Articles
- Social media content
- Other internet wizardry
Embedded content behaves essentially as though you visited the other website directly.
That means those third-party websites may collect information about you, use cookies, add their own tracking technologies, and monitor how you interact with the embedded content.
If you’re logged into one of those services, they may be able to associate that interaction with your account.
Basically: once you leave our little corner of the internet, that website’s privacy rules apply.
Who We Share Your Data With
We don’t sell your personal information to some mysterious guy named Gary who promises to “make you an offer you can’t refuse.”
If you request a password reset, your IP address may be included in the password-reset email.
Visitor comments may also be processed through an automated spam-detection service.
Certain third-party services may receive information as necessary to provide functionality on our website.
How Long We Retain Your Data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its associated metadata may be retained indefinitely.
Why?
So we can recognize and approve follow-up comments automatically instead of making you wait in moderation purgatory every time you have something else to say.
If you create an account on our website, we retain the personal information provided in your user profile.
You can view, edit, or delete your personal information at any time, except for your username, which cannot be changed.
Website administrators may also be able to access and edit account information as necessary to administer the site.
What Rights You Have Over Your Data
If you have an account or have left comments on our website, you can request:
A copy of your personal data.
We can provide an exported file containing the personal information we hold about you, including information you’ve provided to us.
Deletion of your personal data.
You can request that we erase personal information we hold about you.
There are exceptions. We may need to retain certain information for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
So yes, you can ask us to delete your information.
No, we can’t make the concept of taxes disappear from the historical record.
Where We Send Your Data
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam-detection service.
This helps us distinguish between an actual human who really wanted to tell us something and a bot trying to sell everyone cryptocurrency, miracle supplements, or a suspiciously affordable Rolex.
A Final Note About Privacy
We take your privacy seriously, even though our products may suggest otherwise.
We collect and use information as necessary to operate the website, process interactions, prevent spam, maintain accounts, and provide our services.
If you have questions about how your information is handled, please contact us at team@ohheystudios.com.
We can’t promise the internet will ever stop being weird.
But we’ll do our best not to be the weird part.
