Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how this website handles information when you visit it and when you choose to support Aurora Sector Studio (“the Software”). Aurora Sector Studio is distributed as donation-ware and does not require licence keys, activation, or personal data to function.

1. Controller

The controller responsible for processing data in connection with this website and the Software is:

Aurora Sector Studio / Peter Skaarup
Email: support@sectorstudio.eu

2. Information Collected by the Website

When you browse this website, standard technical information may be collected automatically by the hosting environment for security, diagnostics and operational purposes. This may include:

• IP address
• Browser type and operating system
• Date, time and pages viewed
• HTTP status codes

This information is stored in server logs and is not used for profiling or marketing. It is used solely to operate the website securely and to detect errors or misuse.

3. Software Usage

Aurora Sector Studio is completely free and does not collect personal data. The Software does not use licence keys, activation systems, or Machine IDs, and it does not transmit any information back to the server.

The Software operates entirely offline and does not communicate usage data unless a future version explicitly introduces optional online features, which would be covered by an updated version of this policy.

4. Donations

Donations used to support Aurora Sector Studio are processed through third-party payment platforms such as PayPal, Ko-fi, Stripe or similar providers. These platforms act as independent data controllers.

When you make a donation, the payment provider may process:

• Name or username (depending on the provider)
• Email address (for receipts)
• Payment details (never seen or stored by this website)

This website does not store, receive or process your financial information. Only the information intentionally shared by you (e.g. “Display my name on the Supporters Wall”) is stored.

5. Supporters Wall

The Supporters Wall is optional. If you choose to appear on the Support page as a Bronze, Silver or Gold supporter, you may be asked to provide a display name. This is entirely voluntary and can be removed or changed upon request.

6. Cookies and Tracking

This site does not use analytics, advertising cookies, or tracking technologies. Only strictly necessary technical cookies may be used by the hosting environment to ensure correct operation.

7. Legal Basis for Processing

Where applicable under EU/EEA regulations, data processing is based on:

• Legitimate interest – operating the website securely and preventing abuse.
• Consent – when you voluntarily provide optional supporter information.

8. Data Sharing

The website does not share any data with third parties except:

• Payment processors handling donations (independent controllers)
• Hosting providers processing server logs on behalf of the site
• Authorities if required by law

9. Your Rights

Under EU/EEA rules, you may have the right to:

• Request access to stored information
• Request correction or deletion of your supporter name
• Request that optional supporter data be removed from the Supporters Wall

For any such requests, contact: support@sectorstudio.eu.

10. Security

Appropriate technical and organisational measures are taken to protect stored supporter names and server logs. No financial information is ever handled or stored by this website.

11. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. The latest version is always available on this page.
