Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Sleeper Hit Studio ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website and services.

2. Information We Collect

Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your name and email address. If you sign in with Google, we additionally receive your Google account identifier and profile picture (see "Sign-in with Google" below).

Payment Information: When you subscribe, payment processing is handled by Stripe. We do not store your credit card number or banking details on our servers. Stripe may collect and store payment information in accordance with their own privacy policy.

Writing & Project Data: If you use our writing-lab features, we store the screenplays, drafts, notes, research entries, and conversations you create. This content is processed by AI providers as described in "Information Sharing" below to deliver coverage, table reads, pitch decks, and similar features.

Usage Information: We collect information about how you interact with our Service, including course progress, video completion data, feature usage, and pages visited. Some of this is captured via the analytics providers listed below.

Communications: If you contact us, we may retain the content of your messages along with your contact information.

3. Sign-in with Google (OAuth)

If you choose to sign in with Google, Google asks you to grant us access to a limited set of profile information. We request only the following non-sensitive scopes:

• openid — a stable Google account identifier we use to recognize your account on subsequent sign-ins.
• email — your verified email address, used as your account identifier and for transactional emails.
• profile — your display name and profile picture, used to populate your account so you don't have to fill them in.

We do not request access to your Google Drive, Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, or any other Google service. The data we receive from Google is used solely to authenticate your account and personalize your experience inside Sleeper Hit Studio. We do not sell or share Google OAuth data with third parties for advertising or any other purpose.

You can disconnect your Google account at any time from Profile → Sign-in & Security in the dashboard, or revoke Sleeper Hit Studio's access from your Google Account permissions page. Disconnecting Google does not delete your Sleeper Hit Studio account; you can continue to sign in with email and password if you have set one.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve our Service
• Process subscriptions and payments
• Track your course progress and provide a personalized learning experience
• Communicate with you about your account, updates, and our programs
• Send newsletters and marketing communications (with your consent)
• Respond to your inquiries and provide support

5. Information Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We share information only with the service providers listed below, and only to the extent needed for them to provide their service to you:

• Stripe — payment processing and subscription billing.
• Mux — hosting and delivery of course videos.
• Resend — transactional and digest emails (account notifications, pursuit reminders, contact replies).
• Cloudflare R2 — secure object storage for user-uploaded assets and generated media (e.g. table-read audio, pitch deck images).
• AI providers — when you use our AI-powered writing features (Slug chat, coverage analysis, table reads, pitch decks, etc.), the relevant inputs (screenplay text, prompts, conversation history) are sent to one or more LLM providers, including Anthropic, OpenAI, Google AI, Cerebras, ElevenLabs, Cartesia, Hume, Deepgram, and fal.ai. These providers process the data on our behalf to generate the requested output and are contractually prohibited from using your content to train their models or for any purpose other than serving our requests.
• PostHog — product analytics. We use PostHog to understand how the platform is used and improve it. Events include page views, feature clicks, and account lifecycle events. We do not include screenplay content or other sensitive writing in analytics events.
• Legal requirements — when required by law, regulation, or valid legal process.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure.

7. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our Service. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within a reasonable timeframe, except where we are required to retain it by law.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your personal information
• Withdraw consent for marketing communications
• Request a copy of your data in a portable format

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us through our contact page.

9. Cookies

We use essential cookies to maintain your authenticated session and remember your preferences. We use first-party analytics cookies set by PostHog to measure how the platform is used. We do not use third-party advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.

Our Service is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
