Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 25, 2026
Last updated: July 25, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Aidan Ostrogovich, doing business as Sticks & Drones (‘Sticks & Drones,’ ‘we,’ ‘us,’ or ‘our’), collects, uses, and discloses information through the Sticks & Drones website and related pages (the ‘Site’).

Information we collect

Information you provide

When you submit the contact form, we collect the information you provide. This may include your:

  • Name
  • Email address
  • Company
  • Project type
  • Budget
  • Timeline
  • Message
  • Other information you choose to include

We may also retain subsequent correspondence with you concerning your inquiry or a potential or actual business relationship.

Please do not submit Social Security numbers, payment-card information, passwords, medical information, or other highly sensitive information through the contact form.

Technical information

The providers used to host, deliver, maintain, and secure the Site may automatically process limited technical information when you visit. This may include your IP address, browser or device type, requested pages, referring page, date and time of access, and diagnostic or security information.

We do not use this information to create advertising profiles or track your activity across unrelated websites.

Vimeo video

Some pages include video hosted by Vimeo. The Vimeo player is not intended to load until you open the video experience.

When the player loads, your browser connects directly to Vimeo. Vimeo may receive technical information, including your IP address and browser or device information, and may collect viewing information or use cookies or similar technologies. Vimeo processes that information under its own privacy practices, which we do not control.

How we use information

We use information collected through the Site to:

  • Respond to inquiries
  • Evaluate potential projects
  • Prepare estimates or proposals
  • Communicate about requested services or a business relationship
  • Operate, maintain, troubleshoot, and secure the Site
  • Detect or prevent spam, fraud, abuse, or security incidents
  • Maintain appropriate business and correspondence records
  • Comply with applicable legal obligations
  • Establish, exercise, or defend legal rights

We do not use contact-form information for unrelated third-party advertising.

How we disclose information

Email-delivery and email-hosting providers

Contact-form submissions are transmitted through Resend and delivered to our business email account. Resend and the provider hosting that email account process the submission in connection with delivering and storing the communication.

Website and infrastructure providers

Providers that host, deliver, maintain, or secure the Site may process technical information and, where necessary, contact-form information in connection with providing their services.

Vimeo

When you open a Vimeo video player, your browser connects directly to Vimeo. Vimeo may independently process technical and viewing information under its own privacy practices.

Legal and safety disclosures

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law or legal process, respond to lawful requests, investigate misuse, protect the security or integrity of the Site, or protect our rights or the rights and safety of others.

Business transfers

If all or part of the Sticks & Drones business or its assets are sold, transferred, or reorganized, information associated with the business may be disclosed or transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

We do not sell contact-form information. We do not disclose it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Cookies, online tracking, and browser signals

We do not use advertising cookies or first-party analytics tools. The infrastructure used to deliver and secure the Site may use technologies necessary for security or basic operation. Vimeo may use cookies or similar technologies when its player loads.

We do not track visitors’ activity over time across unrelated third-party websites. Because we do not engage in that form of tracking or sell personal information for targeted advertising, browser Do Not Track signals and Global Privacy Control signals do not cause the Site to operate differently. Third parties such as Vimeo may have their own practices for responding to browser or privacy signals.

Retention

We retain contact-form submissions and related correspondence for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to the inquiry, manage a potential or actual business relationship, maintain appropriate business records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and protect our rights.

For non-client inquiries, we generally retain the information for up to 24 months after the last substantive communication unless a longer period is reasonably necessary for one of the purposes described above. If an inquiry results in a client relationship, relevant communications may be retained with the corresponding client and project records for the applicable business-record retention period.

Your choices and requests

You may ask us to provide access to, correct, or delete personal information that you submitted through the Site by contacting us at info@sticksndrones.com.

We may need to take reasonable steps to verify your identity before completing a request. We may retain information where reasonably necessary or permitted to comply with legal obligations, maintain appropriate business records, resolve disputes, prevent fraud or misuse, or establish, exercise, or defend legal rights.

Depending on where you reside, applicable law may provide additional rights.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information we process. However, no internet transmission, email transmission, or electronic storage method can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Children’s privacy

The Site is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information online from children under 13. A parent or guardian who believes a child has submitted personal information through the Site may contact us to request its deletion.

International visitors

Sticks & Drones operates from the United States. Information submitted through the Site may be processed and stored in the United States and in other locations where our service providers operate. Privacy and data-protection laws in those locations may differ from the laws in your jurisdiction.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the Site, our practices, or applicable requirements. We will post the updated policy on this page and revise the ‘Last updated’ date. When appropriate, we may provide additional notice of material changes on the Site or through another reasonable method.
