Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 12, 2026

LOOM ("we", "us") is a Cinema 4D plugin suite developed by Michael Sokolov. This policy describes how we handle your data.

What We Collect

• Plugin: No data is collected. LOOM runs entirely inside Cinema 4D on your machine. No telemetry, no analytics, no network calls (except optional license verification via Gumroad).
• Website: We use Google Analytics to understand page visits. No personal information is collected beyond standard analytics data (page views, country, referrer).
• Instagram DM Bot: When you message our Instagram account (@sokolov.vfx), we receive your Instagram user ID and message text via Meta's API to send automated replies. We may store your email address if you voluntarily provide it. We do not sell or share this data.
• Purchases: Payments are processed by Gumroad (or LemonSqueezy). We receive your email and purchase details. We do not store credit card information.

How We Use Data

• To respond to your Instagram messages automatically
• To deliver purchased products via email
• To verify plugin licenses
• To understand website traffic (anonymized analytics)

Data Storage

Email addresses collected via Instagram DM are stored securely on AWS infrastructure (EU region). We do not share your data with third parties beyond payment processors (Gumroad/LemonSqueezy) and Meta (Instagram API).

Your Rights

You can request deletion of your data at any time by emailing us. We will delete all stored information within 30 days.
