Privacy Policy

Hard Deck Media Ltd. ("Hard Deck Media", "we", "us", or "our") is dedicated to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy details how we collect, store, handle, and safeguard your information across our website (harddeckmedia.com), our brand portfolio—including our digital stationery brand, The Blush Pixel Co.—and our internal publishing software applications.

1. Scope of This Policy

This policy applies to visitors to our website, customers purchasing digital planners and lifestyle goods from our verified storefronts, and third-party platform integrations utilized by our software, specifically the Pinterest API (v5) and associated developer services.

2. Information We Collect

We only collect information necessary to deliver our services, process customer requests, and operate our automated publishing workflows:

• Direct Communications: Information provided when contacting us directly via email (such as name, email address, and inquiry details).
• Technical & Log Data: Like most web servers, our hosting automatically collects non-personally identifiable log information including IP addresses, browser types, referring/exit pages, and timestamps to ensure server integrity and site security.
• API Credentials & Authentication Tokens: For internal automation and publishing tools connecting to third-party services (such as Pinterest), our applications utilize OAuth 2.0 authorization tokens. These tokens are stored securely in isolated environment configurations and are used strictly to execute user-requested publishing actions.

3. How We Use Collected Data

We use collected data exclusively for lawful business purposes, including:

• Providing, operating, and maintaining our websites and applications.
• Publishing visual product media, descriptions, and catalog updates to authorized social and visual discovery platforms.
• Responding to customer support inquiries and partnership requests.
• Complying with legal, tax, and regulatory obligations in the United Kingdom.

4. Data Storage and Security

Hard Deck Media implements industry-standard administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect all data against unauthorized access, loss, manipulation, or disclosure. All web traffic is encrypted via Transport Layer Security (TLS/HTTPS). All API secrets, keys, and tokens are stored in private, cryptographically secured backend storage and are never exposed in client-side code.

5. Sharing of Information

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to third parties. This does not include trusted third-party hosting partners, analytics providers, or official platform APIs (such as Pinterest and cloud infrastructure providers) who assist us in operating our services, so long as those parties agree to keep this information strictly confidential.

6. Your Rights Under GDPR and UK Data Protection Laws

If you reside within the United Kingdom or European Economic Area (EEA), you possess statutory rights under the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, including:

• The right to access the personal data we hold about you.
• The right to rectify inaccurate or incomplete information.
• The right to request erasure ("the right to be forgotten") of your personal data.
• The right to restrict or object to the processing of your data.
• The right to data portability.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact our data officer using the email address provided below.

7. Children's Privacy

Our website and products are not directed toward children under the age of 13 (or under 16 within the UK/EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.

8. Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect technological updates, operational adjustments, or changes in legal compliance requirements. Any revisions will be published immediately on this page with an updated "Last Updated" timestamp.
