Tdog Studios is a one-person studio. This page explains what information the site keeps when you sign in, buy something or subscribe, and what it is used for.

What we keep

• Your email address, so you can sign in and receive your downloads and monthly passwords.
• Your purchases and subscription: which packs you bought, which plan you are on and when it renews. Payments are handled by PayPal; we never see your card or bank details.
• Your loyalty record: points, XP, rank and streak, worked out from your purchases and visits.
• When you visit: which hours you opened Your Vault or the sets page while signed in, so Tdog can see when fans are around and plan releases and notices. It's just the hour, not what you looked at. Sets-page visits are also counted per hour without knowing who.
• Your messages to Tdog, if you use Messages in Your Vault. The text is locked on your device so that only you and Tdog can read it; the site itself can't. The site does keep when each message was sent and read, when it emailed either of you about one (at most once an hour), how many you sent today, and whether Tdog has blocked a sender. To read a message in English, Tdog may run its text through a translation service (DeepL) from their own computer.
• A sign-in cookie on the device you sign in from, so you stay signed in for 30 days.
• A checkout cookie for one day when you buy without signing in, so that browser can show the download you just paid for.
• A few settings on your device, such as your cart on the sets page and your language choice. They stay in your browser and aren't sent to us.

These cookies are only the ones the site needs to work. There are no advertising or tracking cookies, so there is nothing to accept or decline.

Emails we send

• Account emails: sign-in links, your downloads, your subscription and its monthly passwords.
• News and offers: occasional emails about new sets, deals and gifts (like free Set Passes). Every one has an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing never stops your account emails.

Brevo, our email service, tells us whether an email was opened or a link in it was clicked. We use that only to see what people find useful and to stop emailing people who aren't interested.

Signing in with Google or Discord

If you sign in with Google or Discord, we receive only your email address and name from them, to find or create your account. We do not post anything, read your messages or see your contacts, and you can use an email sign-in link instead at any time.

What we don't do

• We don't sell or share your information with anyone.
• We don't run advertising or tracking on the site.
• We don't email you on anyone else's behalf, and we never give your address to advertisers.

Where it is stored

Account data is stored with Cloudflare, our hosting provider, and emails are sent through Brevo. Download links and passwords are stored encrypted.

Who we share it with

Only the services that run the site: PayPal (payments), Cloudflare (hosting and accounts), Brevo (email) and the download hosts (MEGA, Nextcloud). We may disclose information if the law requires it. Nothing is sold or passed to anyone else.

How long we keep it

For as long as you have an account, and afterwards only as long as needed for tax records or to resolve a dispute.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of your information, have it corrected, or have your account and its data deleted. You can also object to or restrict how it is used. Email tdog@tdogstudios.com from the address on the account and we will deal with it within 30 days.

Your choices

You can change your plan, set or remove a password, or cancel from Your Vault at any time. You can stop news and offers with the unsubscribe link in any of them.

Changes to this page

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. Our terms of service cover the rest.
