Privacy Policy

How we handle information, and in particular how we handle children's information.

Last updated January 2026

Who we are

Ironborn Investments LLC, trading as Hudson`s Animations, operates this website and the Hudson`s Animations service. Our registered address is 6500 Lankershim Blvd, Unit 419, North Hollywood, CA 91606, USA. For any privacy question, including a request to access or delete data, write to [email protected].

The short version

We collect the minimum needed to run an account. We do not sell or rent personal information to anyone. We do not build advertising profiles, because we do not carry advertising. We do not use children's viewing data for any purpose other than letting a child resume an episode and showing a parent their own weekly summary.

What we collect from parents

  • Your name and email address, given when you contact us or open an account
  • Billing records held by our payment processor, who never share full card numbers with us
  • Any information you choose to include in a message sent through a form on this site
  • Standard server logs, including IP address, for security and abuse prevention

What we collect on a child profile

A child profile holds a first name or nickname chosen by you, an age band, and a record of which episodes have been watched or started. That is the complete list. We do not ask for a child's surname, date of birth, school, photograph, location or contact details, and we would recommend you do not supply them.

Viewing history exists for two reasons only: so a child can resume an episode where they left it, and so we can show you a weekly summary if you have switched that on. It is not used for recommendations, is not shared outside our systems and is not used to train anything.

Why we are allowed to hold it

  • To perform the contract you have entered into when you take a subscription
  • Our legitimate interest in operating a secure service and preventing abuse
  • Your consent, where you have asked for optional emails such as the weekly summary
  • Legal obligation, where tax or accounting law requires us to retain billing records

Who we share it with

We share personal information only with the service providers required to run the business: our payment processor, our email delivery provider, and our hosting and content delivery providers. Each is bound by contract to process data only on our instructions. We do not sell, rent or trade personal information, and we do not permit any provider to use it for their own purposes.

We may disclose information where we are legally required to do so, or where necessary to protect the safety of a child. If we ever receive a legal demand for user data, we will notify the affected account holder unless we are prohibited from doing so.

Advertising and tracking

There is no advertising anywhere in Hudson`s Animations, and there are no third-party advertising trackers in the child experience. We use a single privacy-respecting analytics measure on the public marketing pages of this website to count visits, which does not follow you to other sites.

How long we keep it

  • Account and profile data, for as long as the account is open
  • Everything a child made, for ninety days after an account closes, then deleted
  • Billing records, for seven years, as tax law requires
  • Form submissions, for twenty-four months, then deleted
  • Server logs, for ninety days

Your rights

You can ask us to give you a copy of everything we hold, correct anything inaccurate, delete a profile or the whole account, or restrict how we use it. Deleting a profile removes its history from live systems immediately and from backups within thirty days. We respond to every request within thirty days and we do not charge for it.

Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to complain to a data protection authority. We would ask you to raise it with us first, but that is your right and not a condition.

Children and consent

Accounts are opened and controlled by an adult. Child profiles exist inside a parent's account and cannot be created, altered or deleted by a child, since all profile settings sit behind the parent PIN. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from a child. If you believe a child has supplied us with information through a form, write to [email protected] and we will remove it.

Security

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest. Access to production systems is limited to named staff who need it, protected by two-factor authentication and reviewed quarterly. Payment card details never touch our servers. Should a breach ever affect your data, we will tell you and the relevant authority within seventy-two hours of becoming aware of it.

International transfers

Our systems are hosted in the United States and the European Union. Where information moves between them, it does so under standard contractual clauses or an equivalent lawful mechanism.

Changes

If we change this policy in a way that materially affects you, we will email account holders at least thirty days before it takes effect. Minor clarifications are published here with an updated date.
