Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 2, 2025

Daniel Hagen (doing business as Strong Oak Studios), based in Bee Cave, Texas, values your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect from our websites (danielhagen.com and strongoakstudios.com) and our mobile applications, how we use and protect that data, and your rights regarding your information. Please note that certain mobile applications may have their own privacy policies; in those cases, the app-specific policy will apply instead of this general policy.

By using our websites or apps, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of our services.

What Data Is Collected

We strive to collect as little personal data as possible. The types of information we collect include:

• Personal Information You Provide Voluntarily: If you choose to contact us via our contact form, you may provide personal details such as your name, email address, or phone number.
• Usage and Diagnostic Data: We use PostHog (analytics) and Sentry (error logging) across our websites and most apps. These tools collect anonymous data such as pages viewed, device type, OS, browser, general location, and error reports. This data does not personally identify you.
• Mobile Application Data: Some apps may request access to features like camera, microphone, or location, or may require account information (e.g. name, email). Any such collection will be disclosed in that app’s own privacy policy.

We do not collect sensitive data such as financial or biometric information, and we do not collect personal data unless you explicitly submit it.

How It Is Used

We use collected information to:

• Respond to You: Information submitted through contact forms is used solely to reply to your inquiry.
• Improve Services: Anonymous usage and diagnostic data help us fix errors, improve performance, and understand how users interact with our services.
• Provide Features: Apps that require permissions or accounts use the data only to deliver those features.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data for marketing or commercial purposes.

Third-Party Services

• PostHog (Analytics): Provides aggregate usage metrics without personal identifiers.
• Sentry (Error Tracking): Collects technical error details (e.g. OS version, app version) to help fix issues.
• Other Services: Specific apps may integrate additional third-party tools (e.g. payments, maps). These will be disclosed in the app’s policy.

We share only the minimum necessary data with these providers, under strict obligations to protect your privacy.

Data Storage and Security

• Location: Data is stored in Amazon Web Services (AWS) U.S. regions:
  • US-EAST-1: Northern Virginia
  • US-EAST-2: Ohio
  • US-WEST-2: Oregon
• Security Measures: We use HTTPS encryption, access controls, and security best practices.
• Retention: Contact form submissions are not permanently stored. Analytics and error logs are retained only as long as necessary for diagnostics.

While we take strong precautions, no online system can be guaranteed 100% secure.

International Users

Our services are operated in the United States. By using them, you consent to your data being processed in the U.S., where laws may differ from those in your country.

• EU/EEA Users: We rely on your consent or other lawful bases under GDPR. You have rights including access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, and portability.

Children’s Privacy

Our services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If we learn we have inadvertently collected such data, we will delete it promptly.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights such as:

• Access & Correction of your data.
• Deletion of personal data we hold.
• Withdraw Consent for data collection (e.g. revoke app permissions).
• Opt-Out of analytics (by using browser settings or device options).
• California & EU Rights: Additional protections under CCPA and GDPR.

To exercise your rights, contact us via the methods below.

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. The latest version will always be posted on our websites. Continued use after updates means you accept the revised policy.
