Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
SUNSEEDS.WORLD is an independent creative platform presenting art, design, writing, music, ideas and experimental projects. We respect your privacy. This policy explains what personal information we may collect, how we use it and your rights.
2. Who We Are
SUNSEEDS.WORLD is a creative project by Duane Melius. Website: sunseeds.world. For privacy enquiries, email duane@wemakesense.org.
3. Information We Collect
- Information you voluntarily provide, such as your name, email address and correspondence.
- Technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information and server logs.
- Website usage statistics if analytics tools are enabled.
- Information necessary to handle purchases or services, if offered.
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information through ordinary browsing.
4. How We Use Information
We use information to respond to enquiries, operate and secure the site, improve its usability, handle requested transactions and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell personal information.
5. Legal Bases
Where applicable under UK data protection law, processing may rely on consent, legitimate interests, performance of a contract or compliance with a legal obligation. The appropriate basis depends on the activity.
6. Cookies and Analytics
This site stores your record-collection progress locally in your browser using localStorage. This is held on your device and can be cleared through your browser settings or the collection reset control. Essential cookies or similar technologies may also be used for functionality and security. If non-essential analytics or tracking technologies are used, appropriate information and consent choices will be provided where legally required. You can also control cookies through your browser settings.
7. Third-Party Services
External providers may support hosting, analytics, communications, embedded content or payments. Their processing may be governed by their own privacy notices or data protection agreements. External links lead to services whose privacy practices we do not control.
8. Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for its purpose, including legal, accounting and security requirements. Correspondence and technical logs may be retained for appropriate operational periods.
9. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.
10. International Transfers
Some providers may process data outside the UK. Where required, appropriate legal safeguards will be used for international transfers.
11. Your Rights
Subject to legal conditions, you may request access, correction, erasure, restriction or portability of your personal information, object to certain processing and withdraw consent where applicable. You can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
12. Children's Privacy
We do not knowingly collect children's personal information without an appropriate lawful basis and any required parental authorisation.
13. External Links and Creative Content
SUNSEEDS may link to other creative platforms, social networks and independent resources. Those services have their own privacy practices. Viewing our creative content does not itself require you to submit personal information.
14. Changes
We may update this policy as the site evolves or legal requirements change. The latest version will appear here with a revised date.
