At Sleeve Studios, we believe strongly in fundamental privacy rights — and that those fundamental rights should not differ depending on where you live in the world. That’s why we treat any data that relates to an identified or identifiable individual or that is linked or linkable to them by Sleeve Studios as “personal data,” no matter where the individual lives. This means that data that directly identifies you — such as your name — is personal data, and also data that does not directly identify you, but that can reasonably be used to identify you — such as the serial number of your device — is personal data. Aggregated data is considered non‑personal data for the purposes of this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy covers how Sleeve Studios or an Sleeve Studios-affiliated company (collectively, “Sleeve Studios”) handles personal data whether you interact with us on our websites or in person (including by phone or when visiting our offices). Sleeve Studios' Privacy Policy does not apply to how third parties define personal data or how they use it. We encourage you to read their privacy policies and know your privacy rights before interacting with them.
At Sleeve Studios, we respect your ability to know, access, correct, transfer, restrict the processing of, and delete your personal data. We have provided these rights to our global customer base and if you choose to exercise these privacy rights, you have the right not to be treated in a discriminatory way nor to receive a lesser degree of service from Sleeve Studios. Where you are requested to consent to the processing of your personal data by Sleeve Studios, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.
There may be situations where we cannot grant your request — for example, if you ask us to delete your transaction data and Sleeve Studios is legally obligated to keep a record of that transaction to comply with law. We may also decline to grant a request where doing so would undermine our legitimate use of data for anti-fraud and security purposes, such as when you request deletion of an account/record that is being investigated for security concerns. Other reasons your privacy request may be denied are if it jeopardizes the privacy of others, is frivolous or vexatious, or would be extremely impractical.
At Sleeve Studios, we believe that you can have great services and great privacy. This means that we strive to collect only the personal data that we need.
