Website Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 6, 2026

This Website Privacy Policy explains how Nodding Panda Studios LLC (“Nodding Panda,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information when you visit noddingpandastudios.com or contact us about our company, projects, donations, or potential investments.

This policy covers the company website only. A product or service may provide a separate privacy notice that controls for that product or service. For example, see the separate Sudoku Cells Privacy Policy.

Information we collect

Depending on how you use the website, we may collect:

• Information you provide: your name, email address, organization, and anything you include in an email or inquiry.
• Donation or investment inquiries: information you choose to provide when asking about supporting Nodding Panda. The current website links to email and does not itself process payments or investment transactions.
• Basic technical information: IP address, browser and device type, operating system, referring page, pages requested, timestamps, and similar server or security logs.
• Cookie and site-use information: information stored by cookies or similar technologies that are necessary to operate, secure, remember preferences for, or understand use of the website. The exact cookies may depend on our WordPress host and the plugins enabled on the site.

How we use information

• Operate, maintain, secure, troubleshoot, and improve the website.
• Respond to questions, support requests, donation inquiries, and investment inquiries.
• Communicate about a request or an existing relationship with you.
• Detect abuse, fraud, security incidents, and technical problems.
• Comply with law and protect our rights, users, and the public.

How we disclose information

We may disclose personal information only as reasonably necessary:

• To hosting, email, security, analytics, and other vendors that help us operate the website or respond to you.
• To professional advisers such as lawyers, accountants, or auditors.
• To comply with law, legal process, or valid government requests, or to protect rights, safety, and security.
• In connection with a financing, reorganization, merger, sale, or transfer of some or all of our business or assets.
• With your direction or consent.

We do not sell personal information for money. We also do not knowingly share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising through this website.

Cookies and third-party services

Our website provider and enabled plugins may use cookies or similar technologies for core operation, security, traffic measurement, or embedded content. Your browser may let you block or delete cookies, but doing so can affect site functionality. If we later add non-essential analytics, advertising, payment, newsletter, or embedded media services, we will update this policy and provide any consent or opt-out controls required by law.

Links to third-party websites or services are governed by those parties’ privacy practices, not this policy.

Retention and security

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, including responding to inquiries, maintaining business records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and meeting legal obligations. Retention periods vary based on the type of information and why it was collected.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your privacy choices and rights

You may ask to access, correct, or delete personal information you have provided, or object to or restrict certain processing where applicable. Depending on where you live, local law may provide additional rights. To submit a request, email hello@noddingpanda.com with “Nodding Panda Privacy Request” in the subject line. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right. You may also appeal a refusal by replying to our decision and stating that you want to appeal.

Children’s privacy

This company website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information through this website from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can review and delete it as appropriate.

Visitors outside the United States

Nodding Panda is based in Washington State, United States. If you visit from another country, your information may be processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your location. Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we process information as necessary to respond to your request, operate and secure the site, comply with law, or pursue our legitimate interests, and with consent where required.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our website, vendors, or legal obligations change. We will post the revised policy on this page and update the effective date. Material changes may also be announced through the website or another appropriate channel.
