When you visit our website, we may automatically collect basic technical information such as your browser type, referring URL, and general geographic region. We do not use invasive tracking or sell this data to advertisers.

3. How We Share Your Information

We may share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

Service providers: We use trusted third-party tools to operate our business (e.g., Netlify for form handling, Calendly for scheduling, email platforms). These providers access your data only as needed to perform their services and are bound by their own privacy policies.
Legal requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of Legion Studios or others.
Business transfers: In the unlikely event of a sale or transfer of Legion Studios, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

4. SMS / Text Message Communications

📱 SMS Opt-In

By providing your phone number and checking the SMS consent checkbox on any of our forms, you expressly consent to receive text messages from Legion Studios. These messages may include appointment reminders, project updates, and follow-up communications related to services you have inquired about or engaged.

Message frequency: Varies based on your engagement. Typically 1–4 messages per month.

Message and data rates may apply depending on your carrier and plan.

🚫 SMS Opt-Out

You may opt out of SMS messages at any time by replying STOP to any text message you receive from us. You will receive one final confirmation message and no further SMS messages will be sent.

You may also opt out by emailing austin.mccarty@lgnstudios.com with the subject line "SMS Opt-Out" and your phone number.

For help, reply HELP to any SMS or contact us directly.

We do not share your phone number with third parties for their own marketing purposes. SMS consent is not required to use our services.

5. Email Communications

By submitting our contact form or booking a discovery call, you consent to receiving transactional emails related to your inquiry. If you check the optional newsletter checkbox on our forms, you also consent to receiving occasional updates, tips, and news from Legion Studios.

🚫 Email Opt-Out

You may unsubscribe from marketing or newsletter emails at any time by clicking the Unsubscribe link in the footer of any email we send. You may also email austin.mccarty@lgnstudios.com with "Unsubscribe" in the subject line.

Please note: Opting out of marketing emails does not affect transactional emails related to an active service engagement (e.g., project updates, invoices).

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, maintain business records, and comply with legal obligations. If you request deletion of your data, we will honor that request within 30 days, except where retention is required by law.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We encourage you to contact us promptly if you believe your information has been compromised.

8. Cookies

Our website uses minimal cookies necessary for basic site functionality. We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking. If we add analytics in the future, we will update this policy and notify visitors accordingly.
