Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet or data storage system can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. In the event that we are required by law to inform you of a breach to your personal information we may notify you electronically, in writing, or by telephone, if permitted to do so by law.
The safety and security of your information also depends on you. You are responsible for keeping your account information and password secure and you should notify us of any unauthorized use of your account promptly.
Other Important Information
- Transfers of Information to Other Countries. We are based in the United States. If you are located outside of the United States, you should be aware that your personal information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in a country other than the one in which it was collected, including the United States, and the laws may be less stringent than the laws in your country. By submitting your personal information to us you agree to the transfer, storage and processing of your information in a country other than your country of residence including, but not necessarily limited to, the United States.
- Children. Our Services are not intended for persons under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect or maintain personal information from persons under 13 years of age. If we learn that we have collected personal information from persons under 13 through our Services, we will take appropriate steps to delete this information.
- Third Parties and Links to Other Websites and Services. Our Services may contain links to other websites, content, or services maintained by third parties.

Not all browsers offer a DNT option and there is currently no industry consensus for how to recognize or respond to a DNT signal. For these reasons, Studio-C does not currently respond to DNT signals.
