Privacy Policy
Effective date: August 1, 2026
Clockwork Otter Foundry respects the privacy of visitors to this website. We have intentionally designed this site to collect as little personal information as reasonably possible.
Information We Collect
Clockwork Otter Foundry does not currently provide user accounts, login functionality, contact forms, analytics services, advertising trackers, or behavioral profiling on this website.
We do not intentionally collect personal information from visitors simply for browsing the site.
If you choose to contact us by email, we receive the information you voluntarily include in that communication, such as your email address, name if provided, message content, and any other information you choose to send.
Email Communications
The email links on this website open your own email application or service. The website does not submit your message through a Clockwork Otter Foundry web form.
Information you send by email will be used to read, respond to, and manage your inquiry and for reasonable business recordkeeping related to that correspondence.
We do not use email inquiries to enroll you in marketing communications without a separate appropriate basis for doing so.
Cookies and Analytics
Clockwork Otter Foundry does not currently use analytics services, advertising technologies, behavioral tracking, or tracking cookies on this website.
The site should not introduce analytics, advertising, tracking, or other non-essential third-party technologies without first reviewing and updating this Privacy Policy and any consent requirements that may apply.
Hosting and Technical Information
This website is hosted using GitHub Pages, a service provided by GitHub.
GitHub may process routine technical information when visitors access the website in order to deliver, operate, maintain, and secure its services. GitHub states that visitor IP addresses for GitHub Pages sites are logged and stored for security purposes. GitHub's broader privacy practices may also cover service-usage information such as device, session, and request information.
This processing is governed by GitHub's own privacy terms and practices.
Clockwork Otter Foundry does not use GitHub Pages visitor information for its own advertising or behavioral analytics.
Third-Party Services and Links
This website may contain links to third-party websites or services. When you follow a third-party link, that service's own terms and privacy practices apply.
GitHub Pages provides the website's hosting infrastructure.
Website fonts should be served locally by this website rather than loaded from Google Fonts or another external font CDN.
How We Use Information
When you voluntarily provide personal information by contacting us, we use it only as reasonably necessary to:
- respond to your inquiry;
- communicate with you about the subject of your message;
- maintain appropriate business records;
- protect the security and integrity of our communications; and
- comply with applicable legal obligations.
We do not sell personal information.
We do not use information submitted through ordinary email correspondence for behavioral advertising.
Legal Basis
Where applicable data-protection law requires a legal basis for processing, the basis will depend on the context of the communication and may include responding to a request you initiated, taking steps at your request, complying with legal obligations, or legitimate interests in operating the business and responding to correspondence.
Data Minimization and Retention
We intend to retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was received, including responding to correspondence, maintaining appropriate business records, resolving disputes, protecting legal rights, and meeting applicable legal obligations.
Information that is no longer reasonably needed should be deleted or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable requirements.
International Processing
Because the website and services used to operate it may involve infrastructure located in different countries, technical information or communications may be processed outside the country in which a visitor resides.
Where applicable law imposes requirements on international transfers of personal information, those requirements should be addressed based on the services actually in use.
Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live and the law that applies, you may have rights relating to personal information about you, including rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection to certain processing.
You may contact us atinfo@clockworkotterfoundry.comwith a privacy-related request.
Where applicable, individuals may also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data-protection authority.
Children's Privacy
This website is a general informational website and is not directed specifically to children.
Clockwork Otter Foundry does not knowingly use this website to solicit personal information from children.
Security
We take reasonable steps appropriate to the nature of this website and the limited information we receive to protect information under our control. However, no internet transmission, email system, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy if the website, our practices, the services we use, or applicable requirements change.
When the policy is updated, the effective date shown at the top of the page should also be updated.
Material additions such as analytics, forms, accounts, tracking, advertising, payment processing, or new third-party data-processing services must trigger a privacy review before deployment.
