Privacy

Last updated: 21 June 2026

Overview

This website is operated by Schmitt Studio, 2/145 Arthur St, 4006 Fortitude Valley, Australia. This policy explains how personal information is handled in connection with this website, contact requests, and messages submitted through the contact form.

What we collect

If you use the contact form, we may collect your name, email address, phone number if you choose to provide it, and the contents of your message.

When submitting the contact form, you are asked to confirm that you have read this Privacy Policy and understand that your details will be used to process and respond to your inquiry. This confirmation is not consent to receive marketing messages.

Basic technical information may also be collected automatically by the hosting environment, such as IP address, browser type, device information, referral URL, and server log data needed for security, debugging, and service delivery.

Analytics and Google services

This website uses Google Analytics (provided by Google LLC / Google Ireland Limited) in a cookieless configuration. It is set up so that it does not store or read cookies or other information on your device, which is why this site does not show a cookie consent banner.

In this mode, Google Analytics still measures aggregated usage such as pages viewed, events, approximate location derived from your IP address (which is anonymised), device and browser type, and referral source — but it does not set persistent identifiers to recognise you across visits.

We use this information only to measure and improve the website. This data is processed by Google and may be transferred to and stored on Google servers located outside your country, including in the United States. We do not use it for cross-context behavioural advertising.

Our iOS apps (such as RivalStats, FlipStats, and YatzyStats) additionally use Google Firebase services — Firebase Authentication, Cloud Firestore, and Google Analytics for Firebase — for sign-in, cloud backup and synchronisation, and usage analytics. Each app contains its own in-app privacy policy describing this in detail.

You can additionally opt out of Google Analytics in your browser using Google’s opt-out browser add-on. For more information, see Google’s Privacy Policy at policies.google.com/privacy.

Why we collect it

We collect and use personal information to:

• respond to enquiries and project requests
• communicate with you about your message
• maintain website security and reliability
• analyse how the website and our apps are used so we can improve them, using Google Analytics and Google Firebase
• keep records that are reasonably necessary for business and administrative purposes

Legal basis for contact requests

If you contact Schmitt Studio through the contact form or by email, your information is used to process and respond to your inquiry.

Where the EU or UK GDPR applies, this processing may be based on taking steps at your request before entering into a contract, where your inquiry relates to a possible project or collaboration, or on legitimate interests in responding to your message and operating a professional website.

This website does not use contact form submissions for marketing unless a separate and clear consent is requested.

How information is handled

Personal information is used only for the purpose for which it was collected, or for related purposes that would reasonably be expected in the circumstances. Information is not sold.

Information may be processed through website hosting, email, and technical service providers where reasonably necessary to operate the site and respond to enquiries.

Storage and security

Reasonable steps are taken to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification, and disclosure. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

Retention

Personal information is kept only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

Contact form messages are generally kept only for as long as needed to respond to the inquiry, manage any related business communication, and keep reasonable administrative records.

Access, correction, and privacy rights

You may request access to personal information held about you, or ask for corrections if you believe it is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant, or misleading. Requests can be sent to info@schmitt-studio.com.

You may also contact Schmitt Studio at any time to ask about how your information is handled, to request deletion where applicable, or to ask Schmitt Studio not to continue a conversation.

Privacy complaints

If you have a privacy concern, please contact Schmitt Studio first at info@schmitt-studio.com. If the issue is not resolved, you may be able to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
