DiscoApe Creative LLC ("DiscoApe," "we," "us," or "our") operates the website at discoape.com. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use our site, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide to us — when you submit a shoot request through our website, we collect:
- Your name
- Email address
- Phone number (optional)
- School or team name, sport, event date, and venue
- Any notes or details you include in your message
Automatically collected information — when you visit our site, our hosting infrastructure (Squarespace) and network provider (Cloudflare) may automatically log:
- Your IP address
- Browser type and version
- Pages visited and time spent on the site
- Referring URL
Poll participation — if you vote in our Photo of the Week poll, we store a randomly generated identifier in your browser's local storage to prevent duplicate votes. This identifier is not linked to your name, email, or any other personal information.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information you provide solely to:
- Respond to shoot requests and coordinate coverage of your event
- Contact you about the status of your request
- Improve our scheduling and planning
We use automatically collected data only to understand general site traffic and ensure the site is functioning properly. We do not use it to identify individual visitors.
3. Data Storage
Shoot request information is stored securely in Airtable, a third-party database platform. Airtable's privacy practices are governed by their own privacy policy, available at airtable.com/privacy.
We retain shoot request data for as long as it is reasonably needed for scheduling and record-keeping purposes. You may request deletion of your information at any time (see Section 6).
4. Cookies & Local Storage
Our site does not use tracking cookies. We use browser local storage only for the Photo of the Week poll to store a device identifier that prevents duplicate votes. This data:
- Is stored only in your browser — not on our servers
- Is not linked to any personal information
- Can be cleared at any time by clearing your browser's local storage or site data
Squarespace and Cloudflare may set their own cookies for site functionality and security. Please refer to their respective privacy policies for details.
