Privacy Policy
Last updated: 02/21/2026
urgd studios LLC (“ur/gd,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) respects your privacy. We design our systems with stability, reliability, and trust in mind. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you use our websites, applications, and related services (collectively, the “Services”).
1. Scope of This Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to:
- The ur/gd marketing website
- All ur/gd applications and digital tools
- Communications with us, including support inquiries
Certain applications may collect additional data specific to their functionality. Where applicable, those details will be described within the relevant application or its documentation.
2. Information We Collect
We collect information in the following categories:
2.1 Information You Provide
You may provide information such as:
- Name
- Email address
- Account credentials
- Content you upload (e.g., photos, messages, files, codes)
- Communications with us
You control what content you choose to submit.
2.2 Information Collected Automatically
When you use the Services, we collect certain technical information such as IP address, device type, browser type, and usage data. This information is collected through standard server logs and infrastructure monitoring tools and is used for security, diagnostics, and service improvement.
Our Services are protected by a web application firewall (WAF) and security monitoring infrastructure. These systems automatically collect and analyze request-level data — including IP addresses, request patterns, and headers — to detect and block malicious traffic, enforce rate limits, and protect the integrity of the Services. This data is used solely for security purposes and is not used for tracking, profiling, or advertising.
Where the Services accept file uploads, uploaded content may be automatically scanned for malware using third-party security scanning services provided by our cloud infrastructure provider. Files identified as malicious are rejected and deleted immediately. Scan metadata (such as scan status and timestamps) is retained temporarily for operational purposes and is automatically deleted.
We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking technologies.
2.3 App-Specific Data
Some ur/gd applications may collect additional information necessary to provide their intended functionality. We design data collection to be proportional to the feature being provided.
Stitch (SVG-to-PES Converter)
Stitch is a file conversion tool that does not require an account, authentication, or any personally identifying information. When you use Stitch:
- You upload SVG files for conversion to PES embroidery format. Uploaded files are temporarily stored, scanned for malware, and processed. Original files are deleted immediately after conversion or rejection.
- Converted PES files are temporarily available for download and are automatically deleted within 24 hours.
- A randomly generated request identifier (UUID) is used to track conversion status. This identifier is not linked to any personal information and is automatically deleted after 7 days.
- No user accounts, login credentials, cookies, or tracking identifiers are used.
Additional applications may describe their specific data practices within the application interface or supporting documentation at the time of release.
3. How We Use Information
We use information to:
- Operate and maintain the Services
- Provide functionality requested by users
- Respond to inquiries and provide support
- Monitor system performance and security
- Scan uploaded content for malware and reject harmful files
- Prevent fraud, misuse, or abuse
- Comply with legal obligations
We do not use personal information for profiling or behavioral advertising.
We do not use personal information for automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.
4. Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell personal information.
4.2 Service Providers

4.3 Legal Requirements
We may disclose information if required to:
- Comply with law or lawful requests
- Protect rights, safety, or security

5. Data Retention

At this time, ur/gd studios LLC does not meet the thresholds required to be classified as a “business” under the CCPA/CPRA, but we provide these disclosures voluntarily in the interest of transparency.
8. International Users and GDPR
urgd studios LLC is based in the United States.
Our Services are primarily intended for users located in the United States. We do not intentionally target or market to individuals in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom.
If you access the Services from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States.
If we become subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or other international data protection laws due to our operations, we will implement appropriate safeguards as required by law.
Individuals located in the EEA or UK may have additional rights, including the right to lodge a complaint with their local supervisory authority.
9. Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information.
Data is encrypted in transit and, where supported by our infrastructure providers, at rest.
Our Services are protected by a centralized web application firewall (WAF) and rate-limiting controls. Where the Services accept file uploads, uploaded content is automatically scanned for malware before processing.
However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.
10. Data Security Incidents
In the event of a confirmed data security incident affecting personal information, we will take appropriate steps consistent with applicable law, including notification to affected individuals where required.
11. Children’s Privacy
Our Services are not directed to children under 13 years of age.
In jurisdictions where the minimum age for consent to use online services is higher than 13, we do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals below that age.
12. Third-Party Links
Our Services may contain links to third-party websites or services.
We are not responsible for their privacy practices.
13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
When we do, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page.
Continued use of the Services after changes indicates acceptance of the updated Policy.
