At Sylte Studios, we respect the importance of privacy, and we operate under the principle that these essential rights should not differ based on geographical location. We consider any data linked to identifiable individuals—or any data that could potentially be associated with individuals—as personal information, regardless of the individuals' residency. This includes data that directly identifies you, such as your name, as well as data that doesn't directly identify you but could likely be used to do so. However, aggregated data is considered non-personal under these privacy guidelines.

These guidelines explain how Sylte Studios or companies affiliated with us (collectively referred to as "Sylte Studios") handle personal information when you interact with us, whether on our websites or directly (for example, over the phone). Please note that Sylte Studios services may contain links to third-party platforms. Our privacy guidelines do not cover how third parties handle and use personal information. Therefore, we advise you to review their guidelines and familiarize yourself with your privacy rights before interacting with such third parties.

At Sylte Studios, we prioritize your privacy rights, including the right to access, transfer, limit the processing of, and delete your personal data. We uphold these rights for our clients globally. Exercising your privacy rights will not result in any form of discrimination or reduction in services from us. If you choose to grant Sylte Studios permission to process your personal data, you can withdraw this consent at any time.

Please note that there may be instances where we cannot fulfill certain requests. An example would be if you request the deletion of transaction data, which Sylte Studios is legally obliged to retain in accordance with relevant laws.

Sylte Studios believes that good products and privacy can coexist. Therefore, we strive to limit the collection of personal information to what is necessary. Descriptions of how Sylte Studios handles personal information in various services can be found at syltestudios.no/privacy.
