Privacy_Policy

01 · Who We Are

Misfits Studios is a solo development studio operated by the owner of xADROCx1. Contact: misfits.support@proton.me. This policy covers the website misfits-studios.com (including the deploy preview URL at misfits-studios-site.qwikkidd.workers.dev) and the digital products sold through it.

02 · What We Collect

We try to collect as little as possible. In practice we handle:

• Standard web-server logs — IP address, browser user-agent, referring URL, and timestamps. Collected automatically by our hosting provider (Cloudflare) and retained for up to 30 days for security and debugging.
• Purchase data — when you buy a product, our payment processor (Lemon Squeezy or Paddle, both merchants of record) collects your name, email, billing country, and payment details. We receive the order record (name, email, country, what you bought) but never your full card number.
• Support conversations — if you email us or message us on Discord, we keep those messages to provide support and improve the products.
• Product analytics — we may run privacy-focused, cookieless analytics (PostHog or similar) that measure anonymous page views and conversion events. No personally identifying information is collected by analytics.

03 · What We Don't Collect

• We don't sell or rent your data to anyone, ever.
• We don't use third-party advertising trackers.
• We don't run A/B-testing scripts that fingerprint your browser.
• We don't combine data across platforms to build a profile of you.

04 · How We Use It

• Deliver the products you buy and provide support.
• Send update notifications about plugins you've purchased (and only those — not marketing blasts).
• Debug errors, monitor site uptime, and prevent abuse.
• Comply with tax law — our payment processor handles VAT / GST / sales tax as the merchant of record, which requires keeping purchase records for the legally mandated retention period (typically 7–10 years depending on jurisdiction).

05 · Third Parties We Use

• Cloudflare — website hosting, CDN, DDoS protection. Privacy policy.
• Lemon Squeezy — payment processor, merchant of record, file delivery, license keys. Privacy policy.
• Paddle — alternative payment processor / merchant of record. Privacy policy.
• GitHub — source code hosting; does not process customer data.
• Proton Mail — our support inbox.
• Discord — community and direct support chat. Privacy policy.

06 · Your Rights (GDPR / CCPA / UK-GDPR)

If you're in the EU, UK, California, or any jurisdiction with a personal-data law, you can request:

• Access — a copy of the data we hold on you.
• Correction — fix anything incorrect.
• Deletion — remove your data, subject to legal retention requirements for purchase records.
• Portability — your data in a machine-readable format.
• Objection — stop us using your data for any non-essential purpose.

Email misfits.support@proton.me with the subject line DATA REQUEST. We'll respond within 30 days.

07 · Cookies

This website currently uses essential cookies only — nothing for advertising, no cross-site tracking. Our payment processor may set cookies during checkout to maintain your cart and verify the transaction. Those are managed by the processor under their own privacy policies (linked above).

08 · Children

Our products are aimed at server administrators of the game Rust. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 13 (or under 16 where GDPR requires). If you believe we have, email us and we'll delete it immediately.

09 · Data Security

Payment data is handled by our processors' PCI-compliant infrastructure, not by us. Our site is served over HTTPS. Support emails are in Proton Mail, which is end-to-end encrypted where both parties use it. No system is perfectly secure — if you suspect a breach, email us.

10 · Changes to This Policy

If we change this policy materially, we'll update the "last updated" date at the top and post a notice in our Discord. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the new version.
