I.A Word Up Front

Accidental Monarchy LLC takes its role as a careful steward very seriously. This Privacy Policy is a plain and honest account of what this website gathers, why it gathers it, how long it holds it, and the rights you carry whenever you walk through the studio door of this site. We write everything here in open words because a court that hides its rules from its subjects is no court at all.

The studio behind this site, Accidental Monarchy LLC, was founded by a developer known simply as Monarchys, whose vision remains the quiet measure of everything the house publishes. The name reminds us that no careful work is ever truly accidental, and no visitor is ever a mere number on a throne room floor.

II.The Company and Where It Sits

This website is operated on behalf of Accidental Monarchy LLC, a business chartered and seated at the following address:

71 N 100 E APT 1, Smithfield - 84335-1538, United States (US).

Whenever this policy uses the words we, us, our, or the Company, it refers to Accidental Monarchy LLC and to the people the studio authorises to act for it. Whenever the policy says the site, it means the public website reached at the web address accmonarch.hair and all of its pages.

The Company provides creative design services in the computer systems design and related professional, scientific, and technical services sector, including brand identity, storyworld and content design, merchandise and apparel, campaign art direction, packaging, and fan community programs. This policy applies to every one of those services just as it applies to the pages you read.

III.What This Policy Covers

This Privacy Policy covers information that this site collects from you directly, as well as information gathered in a quieter, automatic fashion while your browser fetches our pages. It also covers the enquiries you send through the contact form and by email, the notes you leave in our message box, and any records made when you reach out by telephone.

This policy does not apply to websites operated by other parties, even when a link on this site carries you toward them. We cannot hold a shield over a land we do not govern, and so we ask that you read the privacy customs of any other court before you hand it your trust.

We wish to add a note of gratitude here. Merely by arriving and by reading, you are taking part in the quiet story of a small studio, and we do not forget that trust. Everything written in this document is meant to preserve that trust rather than to test it, and we keep the original spirit of the house motto firmly before us whenever we handle even the smallest detail of a visitor information.

IV.The Information We Collect

Information You Give Us Willingly

When you complete the contact form or write to our inbox, you may give us pieces of information about yourself. This usually includes your name, your email address, the subject of your note, and the words of the note itself. Should you telephone the studio, we may keep a record of the number you call from and the reason for your enquiry so that we can serve you better on a later visit.

Information Gathered Quietly

Like almost every site on the open web, we are aware of certain pieces of technical detail that arrive with each request. This can include the type of browser you use, the kind of device you carry, the operating system, the general region your connection comes from, and the pages you pause upon. None of this detail is meant to spy; it is the ordinary dust of a well-kept web room, and it helps us keep the hall in good repair.

We do not seek sensitive or special categories of information, such as details of your health or beliefs, and we ask that you avoid placing such matters in an ordinary enquiry.

V.Automatic Data and Cookies

A cookie is a small note set down by a website and kept by your browser so that the site can remember a little about you on future visits. This site uses only the most modest kinds of cookies, mainly to understand broad patterns of reading so that the studio can learn which pages serve its visitors best.

You remain the master of your own keep. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, to delete those already placed, or to be told before a new one is set. Should you switch these comforts off, the site will still work; you may simply surrender a little of the convenience that remembered settings would grant you.

We do not use cookies to track you across unrelated websites for the purpose of building a portrait of your private life, and we do not sell the ability to annoy you with advertisements pulled from your browsing history.

VI.Information You Send Through Forms

The contact form on this site is a doorway, not a trap. The fields it asks for are the least a court needs to reply to you. When you press the send button, your browser prepares an email to the studio address touch@accmonarch.hair. Whatever you choose to write in the message box is entirely yours, and we hold it only so long as the enquiry stays alive.

If your mail client does not open and you prefer not to use the form, you may always reach the studio directly at the same address. The studio answers every note it receives and does not sell the fruits of a single enquiry to any third party.

We also want you to know that we keep our mailbox tidy. A note that asks for a price guide and nothing more is answered and then set gently to rest. A note that grows into a real commission steps forward into the records of that duty, under the rules set out later in this document. In this way the form truly behaves like a spoken doorway, with no lurking ledger behind it tallying your visit for its own sake.

VII.How We Use Your Information

We use the information we hold for a short list of honest purposes, and nothing in that list should surprise a reasonable visitor. Those purposes are these:

  • To answer the questions you send and to carry the advice of the studio back to you.
  • To prepare estimates, plans, and charters for any design duty you request.
  • To keep a continuing dialogue with active patrons about journeys already under way.
  • To read the broad shape of traffic so we can make the site easier to move through.
  • To guard the site and its visitors from abuse, fraud, or harm.
  • To meet any duty that the law places upon the Company.

We do not read your messages to harvest selling points, and we never use personal information in a way we have not told you about here.

IX.Sharing Information With Others

We do not sell your personal information and never trade your details as cargo. There are, however, a few narrow companions a studio cannot do without. These include the people who host this website, the services that carry email to our desk, the tools that help us meet by video, and any makers we invite to produce the physical goods you order. Each of these partners receives only the smallest portion of information needed for their own small duty.

We may also share information where the law compels us, where a court orders us, or where we must defend the rights and safety of the Company, its visitors, or the public. In every case we share the least that is necessary and nothing more.

To make the picture complete, we add that we do not sell mailing lists, we do not barter your details with sister studios, and we do not open your private notes to any reader who is not responsible for answering them. The business of Accidental Monarchy LLC is design, not the quiet trade of the details that other people trust to us, and it will remain so while the house stands.

X.Third Party Services and Links

From time to time the site may lean on trusted outside services to measure its own health or to embed a piece of courteous content. These services may collect their own technical data under their own rules, over which the Company holds no reins. We choose companions we trust, but we cannot answer for the customs of a foreign hall.

The pages may also carry links to gardens we do not grow. When you follow such a link, you leave the Company grounds, and from that moment the other site is its own sovereign with its own privacy decree. We encourage you to read it before you linger there.

XI.How Long We Keep Information

We neither hoard records forever nor throw them out in a careless rush. An ordinary enquiry is kept only as long as it takes to answer it and to tie any loose threads, and then it is put away. Records belonging to an active commission are kept for the life of that work, plus a modest time of quiet so that we may answer follow-up questions without making you repeat yourself.

When the reason for holding a record fades, we delete it or turn it into an anonymous shape that can no longer be traced to any single visitor. Where law demands a longer keeping, the law has its way, and the record is locked away rather than left open.

To keep this promise honest we do not keep a store of spare notes just in case they might grow useful one day. If we cannot say plainly why a record is kept, we take that silence as a sign that the record should not be kept at all, and we let it go. A tidy ledger is easier to defend than a crammed one, both for the law and for our own peace of mind, and the visitor is never the poorer for our restraint. In every choice about how long a note is held, the deciding question is the same one the whole house lives by: is this the kind and careful thing to do.

XII.The Guards We Install Around Data

The Company keeps its grounds with as much care as it keeps its drawings. Access to the records it holds is limited to the few people who need it to do the studio work. Where a message or agreement passes over the web, we favour secure paths so that idle eyes by the roadside cannot read what you share with us.

No system on earth is utterly beyond harm, and we do not promise an empty moat. But we renew our guards, we change our keys, and we set back our most sensitive stores behind more than one wall, so that a failure on any single rampart does not lay the whole keep open.

We also school ourselves in prudence. The members of the studio are taught to ask for the least information a task truly demands, to close a screen when it is not in use, and to speak of a patrons work only in rooms and letters where it belongs. No clever lock can save a house whose people are careless at the gate, and so the greatest single guard we keep is a habit of quiet good sense among the people who carry the work. Were a break ever to happen despite these shields, we would tell those whom the law requires us to tell, and we would act at once to mend the wall and to lessen any harm.

XIII.Privacy for Children

This site is a studio meant for adults who build and commission brands and stories. It is not designed to gather the information of children, and it does not knowingly collect or hold the personal details of anyone under the age of thirteen.

Should a parent or guardian come to believe that a child has sent personal information to the studio without consent, they need only write to the address in the final section of this policy. We will remove such information without fuss and close the matter quietly.

We take this small rule seriously precisely because the studio work is often story shaped and warm, and it might well draw the eye of a young reader who enjoys a good fable. Such a reader is most welcome to enjoy the stories we tell, but they are not asked to send us anything, and the ordinary machinery of this site holds no place for the records of a child. Where a younger person does reach the studio with a question, we answer it briefly and we keep no lasting store of it. The honest way to guard the young is to gather nothing from them in the first place, and that is the way the house prefers to walk.

XIV.Your Rights as a Visitor

Depending on the law of the land where you sit, you may carry a set of rights over the information the Company holds about you. Among the most common of these rights are the following:

  • The right to read a copy of the information we keep about you.
  • The right to ask that we correct a detail that has gone wrong.
  • The right to ask that we delete information we no longer need.
  • The right to ask that we hold your records still and handle little more of them.
  • The right to receive the information you gave us in a form you can carry away.
  • The right to withdraw any permission you have granted at any time.
  • The right to object to handling that rests on legitimate interest.

These rights travel at your pace and cost you nothing. You may send any such request to the address at the end of this policy, and the Company will answer within the window the law allows. In rare cases we may ask you to prove who you are so that we do not hand your records to a stranger who only claims your name.

We will not punish a visitor for asking. A request made in good faith will never cost you your place upon the site, never change the tone of our answers, and never be met with a fine or a raised voice. Should a request arrive that the house judges to be without merit, the law that governs such matters may allow us to decline it or to charge a modest fee for the trouble; but even then we will first look to see whether a kind and truthful answer might serve you better. Whenever we decline a request, we will say plainly why we decline it, so that you always understand the reasons behind a decision that touches your own details.

XV.Do Not Track and Similar Signals

Some browsers carry a setting called Do Not Track, a signal that asks a site to forgo the quieter kinds of watching. Because the industry has not settled on one shared meaning for that signal, the site does not change its behaviour the moment it sees the flag raised.

This is a small honesty rather than a silent evasion. The site tracks almost nothing to begin with, so the ordinary visitor loses very little either way. Whatever you choose, the studio honours your wish to be left in peace.

XVI.International Transfer of Data

The benches of the studio sit in the United States, and the services that carry its messages may store records in other countries too. If you visit from beyond those lands, your information may cross borders as it makes its way toward us.

Where such a crossing happens, the Company takes care that your information still enjoys a fitting level of guard, whether by keeping the records with partners who follow recognised standards or by relying on the rules that lawfully permit the crossing. You are never made a stranger by distance; the shield travels with the note.

XVII.A Note on Age and Business Dealings

The commissioning of design work through this site is reserved for adults who may lawfully bind themselves to an agreement. By sending an enquiry with a mind to hire the studio, you affirm that you are of such an age in the land where you live.

Young readers who enjoy our story gardens are welcome to look and to dream, but the practical duties of this site assume a patron who can give consent and keep a promise. Anything a younger visitor writes will be handled under the same gentle rule described in the section on privacy for children.

XVIII.Changes to This Policy

Rules are not set in stone; they are set with care, and care sometimes asks for a change. The Company may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time to keep pace with new laws, new tools, or a new way of doing an old duty.

When a change is made, the date at the top of this page will be renewed so that a returning visitor may see at once that something has shifted. We will not quietly sneak a new term past you. For a change of any real weight, we will take reasonable steps to draw attention to it, whether by a note on the home page or a line in a message we send in the ordinary course of business.

XIX.How to Reach the Privacy Steward

Questions about this policy or about the information the studio keeps are always welcome, and the door is never barred. To write to the privacy steward of the Company, use any of the following:

Accidental Monarchy LLC
71 N 100 E APT 1, Smithfield - 84335-1538, United States (US)
Email: touch@accmonarch.hair
Telephone: +18147676745

Visitors who live in a region with its own privacy authority may also speak to that authority if they feel their concerns have not been met. We trust that such a step will rarely be needed, for the court means to answer every honest question as promptly as the hours allow.
