Privacy

This website is run by Otway Data Workshop (ODW), Apollo Bay, Victoria, ABN 17 781 147 987. It collects as little as it can, keeps what it collects private, and never sells or shares it for marketing.

School enquiries

If you send an enquiry, we receive the details you type into the form: your name, role, school or organisation, town, email, phone if you give it, and your message. If you book a call, the booking tool records the details you enter there. We use them only to reply to you and to arrange and deliver the program you ask about. Enquiries are sent to ODW by email through Resend, an email delivery service. The website itself does not keep a copy. Bookings are handled by Google Calendar.

Making your own creature

When you use Make your own, we collect:

• the photo of the drawing you upload, the creature images made from it, and any changes you ask for
• if you order: your name, email address, delivery address, the name you give your creature, any gift note, and whether you're happy for it to be shown in the gallery
• a scrambled, one-way version of your internet address, used only to limit how many free previews can be made each day. It can't be turned back into your address.

Payments are handled by Stripe. We never see or keep your card details.

We use this information only to make your creature, post it to you, contact you about your order, and reprint it if something goes wrong. To do that, it passes through service providers who work on our behalf to run the website, make the creature images, store files, take payment and send email. They may only use it to provide their service to us.

We keep order details for as long as we need them for your order, our records and the law. Previews that don't become orders are kept privately and are never shown to anyone.

The gallery

Your drawing and creature are only shown on this website if you ticked the box when you ordered, and only after we've reviewed them. We never show names. Email us and we'll take them down.

Analytics

We count page visits with Vercel Web Analytics, which uses no cookies and does not identify you.

Spam protection

The enquiry form may use Cloudflare Turnstile to check that a person, not a bot, is sending it.

Student information

This website does not collect any student information from the school program. How the program itself handles student work is set out on the safety page.
