Privacy Policy
How we handle the information you share when you visit littleredappleproductions.com, contact us, or sign up for updates.
Last updated: May 22, 20261. Who we are
Little Red Apple Productions (“LRAP,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) is an independent AI story studio based in Pulaski, Virginia, United States. This Privacy Policy describes the information we collect through our website at littleredappleproductions.com and how we use, share, and protect that information.
By using our website, you agree to the practices described below. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
2. What we collect
Information you provide
We collect information you choose to give us, such as:
- Contact form messages. When you use our contact form, we receive the name, email address, subject, and message you submit.
- Newsletter and updates sign-ups. When you join our mailing list, request early access, or sign up for project updates, we receive your email address and the source of the sign-up (for example, “Updates,” “Crowdfunding,” or a specific AI Studio tool).
- Crowdfunding, shop, and access requests. If you take part in crowdfunding, request access to studio tools, or submit a request form, we receive the details you provide in that form.
- Direct emails. If you contact us by email (for example, at hello@littleredappleproductions.com), we receive the contents of your message and any details you choose to share.
Information collected automatically
When you visit the site, our web host and form-handling scripts may automatically receive standard technical information, including:
- Your IP address.
- Browser type, device type, and operating system.
- Referring URL and pages viewed.
- Date and time of your visit.
This information is collected as part of normal web traffic and is used for site operation, security, and abuse prevention (for example, rate-limiting our contact and newsletter forms).
3. How we use information
We use the information described above to:
- Respond to your messages and fulfill your requests.
- Send the email updates, early access, and project information you signed up for.
- Operate, maintain, and improve the website and our creative projects.
- Protect the site from spam, abuse, and unauthorized access.
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms and Conditions.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.
4. Cookies and local storage
The Little Red Apple Productions website is largely static. We do not use third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
Your browser may store small amounts of data locally (such as cookies or local storage) as part of normal web browsing — for example, to remember your navigation preferences or to support embedded media. Embedded services like YouTube may set their own cookies when you interact with their content; please see the next section for more.
You can block or delete cookies and local storage at any time through your browser settings. Doing so should not prevent you from using the main site, although embedded video and similar features may behave differently.
5. Embedded media and external links
Some pages embed third-party media — for example, YouTube videos from our channel. When you load or play that media, the third-party provider may receive information about your visit, including your IP address and what you watched. Their own privacy policies govern how they handle that information.
Our blog and updates pages are powered by Sanity, a content platform we use to publish articles. When article content is loaded on our site, requests are made to Sanity’s servers as part of normal content delivery.
Our site may also link to external websites and platforms (for example, YouTube, Substack, or social media). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before sharing information with them.
6. Sharing and service providers
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share limited information in the following circumstances:
- Service providers. Companies that help us operate the site (for example, our web host, email provider, and content platform) may process information on our behalf, only to the extent needed to provide their service.
- Legal requirements. We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others.
- Business transfers. If LRAP is involved in a merger, acquisition, or transfer of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will take reasonable steps to ensure it remains protected.
7. Retention
We keep information only for as long as we reasonably need it for the purposes described in this policy. For example:
- Newsletter sign-ups are kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to remove your email.
- Contact-form messages are kept long enough to respond to you and maintain a reasonable record of correspondence.
- Technical access logs are kept for a limited period for security and troubleshooting, then deleted or overwritten.
8. Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational steps to protect the information we hold against loss, misuse, and unauthorized access. The site is served over HTTPS, and form submissions include basic anti-abuse measures such as rate limiting and spam filtering.
No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please do not send us sensitive information (for example, financial account numbers or government IDs) through our website forms or by email.
9. Your choices and rights
You always have a choice about the information you share with us. In particular, you can:
- Unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time by following the unsubscribe link in any email, or by contacting us.
- Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Request correction or deletion of your personal information, subject to any legal recordkeeping requirements.
- Object to or restrict certain uses of your information.
Depending on where you live (for example, in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or certain U.S. states), you may have additional rights under local privacy laws. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
10. Children’s privacy
The Little Red Apple Productions website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. Significant changes may also be announced on the site or by email.
