Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Pokey Spears (“Produced by Pokey,” “we,” “us”) handles information in connection with this website. By using the site, you agree to the practices described here.

Information we collect

Information you give us. When you use the contact form, we receive the name, email address, and message you submit so we can read and respond to your inquiry. You choose what to include in your message.

Information collected automatically. Our hosting and content delivery provider (Cloudflare) processes standard technical data — such as your IP address, browser type, and request timestamps — to deliver the site, keep it secure, and prevent abuse. We do not use analytics or advertising cookies, and we do not build profiles of visitors.

Cookies and embedded content

This site does not set its own analytics or advertising cookies. Pages that embed third-party video (for example, YouTube or Vimeo clips in the work section) may set their own cookies and collect data when you play a clip, under those providers’ own policies — see the Google/YouTube Privacy Policy and the Vimeo Privacy Policy.

How we use your information

• To respond to your message and communicate with you about your inquiry.
• To operate, maintain, and secure the website.
• To comply with the law or respond to lawful requests.

We do not sell your personal information.

Who we share it with

We share information only with service providers that help us run the site and act on our behalf — currently our hosting and content delivery provider (Cloudflare) and the email service used to deliver contact-form messages to us. We may also disclose information where required by law.

Data retention

We keep contact-form messages for as long as needed to respond to and follow up on your inquiry, and for our ordinary business records, after which they are deleted. You can ask us to delete your message sooner.

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing (for example, under the California Consumer Privacy Act or the EU/UK GDPR). To make a request, reach us through the contact page. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.

Children

This site is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

External links

The site links to external services (such as IMDb, social media, and video platforms). We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites; review their policies separately.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
