Privacy policy

A1981 Studio operates a1981studio.com, a catalog of 3D characters and a community forum. This policy describes the website and its optional sign-in and community features.

Information used for your account

When you sign in with Google, Google provides Supabase, our authentication service, with your account identifier, email address and basic profile information, such as your name and profile image. The website uses a verified email to identify your account and check ownership of posts. A supplied name can be suggested during account setup.

We store your verified email, chosen display name, account preferences, timestamps, community posts and moderation reports. Email sign-in and password management are handled by Supabase. The website does not receive your Google password and does not request access to your Gmail messages, Drive files or contacts.

How information is used

Account information is used to sign you in, maintain your preferences, allow posting and help authors manage their own content. Reports and technical information help maintain and secure the service. Google sign-in data is used for authentication and community account management; it is not sold or used for advertising.

Public content and private information

Forum topics, replies, model reviews and questions are public. Your chosen public name appears next to posts; if public-name display is disabled, the site uses “Community member”. Your full account email is not displayed in public community pages or public community API responses. Avoid putting private information in a public post. Administrators can access account records and moderation reports for site operation.

Service providers and external links

Supabase processes authentication information. The website uses Sites hosting and Cloudflare infrastructure to serve pages and store community records. Hosting and authentication services may process request details such as IP addresses, browser information and security logs. Their processing is covered by their own privacy policies: Supabase, OpenAI and Cloudflare.

Marketplace, Patreon, YouTube and social links take you to separate services. Purchases and activity there are governed by those services’ policies. Data may be processed in the countries where our service providers operate.

Cookies and browser storage

Authentication cookies maintain your sign-in session. Browser storage remembers preferences such as appearance and catalog selections. You can sign out or clear browser data; clearing local data alone does not delete your server account or posts.

Website traffic statistics

We count public-page views and approximate browser-tab visits using our own database. Records contain a random event ID, timestamp, public page path, a broad referral-source category and a new-visit flag. We do not store IP addresses, account details, search terms or full referring URLs in this counter. Session storage keeps a last-activity timestamp and page to estimate visits; it does not identify you across websites. This first-party counter operates separately from Google Analytics. Browser blocking may prevent counting. Statistics are visible only to the site owner.

Google Analytics is optional. It is loaded only after you choose “Allow analytics” and records page views of public pages. The site sends a public page path, page title and a limited referrer; query strings and URL fragments are removed. Account, sign-in, settings and other private routes are excluded. We do not send form contents, account identifiers or email addresses, and advertising personalization signals are disabled. Google may process technical information such as browser and device details and set analytics cookies according to your choice. See Google’s privacy policy. You can decline or change your choice below; declining Google Analytics does not disable the separate first-party counter described above.

Marketplace link statistics

We count clicks on store links from model cards and collection pages in a separate first-party counter. Records contain a random event ID, timestamp, model ID, marketplace and its public product URL, and a broad source category. Recognized utm_source and utm_medium categories may be kept in session storage for up to 30 minutes when entering a model card or collection; arbitrary campaign text and full referring URLs are not stored. No IP address, account identifier or purchase details are stored in this counter. The owner can view aggregate counts in the private traffic report. This counts link clicks, not purchases. If you allow optional Google Analytics, a marketplace_click event may also contain the model ID and marketplace. A store link works even if statistics are blocked or unavailable.

Retention and deletion

Account and community records are retained while needed to provide the service, manage posts and handle moderation. The forum’s delete button hides a topic or reply and places it in My trash so you can restore it; this is not permanent erasure.

For account-data access, correction or permanent deletion, contact dremorn1981you@gmail.com. We may ask you to verify account ownership before acting. You can also remove A1981 Studio’s Google access from your Google Account connections. Revoking Google access does not itself erase existing forum records.

Contact and updates

Privacy questions can be sent to dremorn1981you@gmail.com. Updates to this policy will be published here with a revised date.
