Who we are

Lost Objects LLC ("Lost Objects," "we," "us," or "our") is a social media strategy and management company based in West Hollywood, Los Angeles. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit our website, use our services, or apply to our community.

What we collect

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us. We collect it in four places and nowhere else: our contact form, the Free Lesson popup email signup, the Join the Team application, and the Lost Objects: After Hours community application. This information may include:

  • Your name and email address
  • Portfolio or social media links you choose to share
  • Information about your business, role, platforms, and goals, and how you heard about us, shared through our contact forms
  • If you apply to join our team: your phone number, city and time zone, Instagram handle, LinkedIn or website, links to accounts you've run and what you did on them, your years of experience, platforms, skills, and tools, how you're connected to film, your weekly availability, earliest start date, and how many accounts you could take on, your rate expectation, your written answers and cover letter, a resume or portfolio link, and how you heard about us. Fields marked optional on the application are up to you.
  • A short bio and any other details you voluntarily include when you apply to our community or message us

We don't run analytics or tracking on our website. When your browser loads it, our hosting provider and the services that deliver parts of the page (listed below) receive the basic technical information every web request carries, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and the page requested.

How we use your information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Respond to your inquiries and communicate with you about our services
  • Deliver our free seminar and related educational content
  • Review applications to join our team and get in touch with applicants
  • Review applications to and operate our Lost Objects: After Hours community
  • Send occasional email marketing about social media strategy for the creative industry (you can unsubscribe at any time)
  • Keep our website working, secure, and up to date
  • Comply with legal obligations

Third-party services

We rely on a small number of third party services to operate our website and business. Each one processes only the information needed for its function:

  • Kit (formerly ConvertKit), an email marketing platform that receives and stores your name and email when you sign up for our free seminar, or when you tick the box on our contact form to get our marketing email. Kit's privacy policy
  • Formspree, a form processing service that receives everything you submit through our contact form and the Join the Team application, along with your IP address, and passes it on to us. Formspree's privacy policy
  • Vimeo, which streams the video on our homepage. When the video loads, Vimeo receives your IP address and browser information so it can deliver it. Vimeo's privacy policy
  • Vercel, our website hosting provider, which hosts and delivers the Site. Vercel's privacy policy
  • Discord, which hosts our Lost Objects: After Hours community and receives the information you submit when you apply to join. Discord's privacy policy

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes. You can unsubscribe from our marketing email at any time using the unsubscribe link in every message.

Our Free Lesson popup links to a seminar video hosted by Filmmakers Academy, a separate company. When you follow links to third party sites, including the seminar host, any information you provide there becomes subject to those sites' own privacy policies and terms, which Lost Objects does not control.

The After Hours community

Lost Objects operates a private, application based community called Lost Objects: After Hours, hosted on Discord. When you apply, we collect your name, email address, portfolio links, and a short bio. This application information is collected through and stored on Discord, so your use of the community is also subject to Discord's own Privacy Policy. As part of joining, applicants must read and agree to our community Server Rules.

Join the Team applications

When you apply to join our team, we use your application details only to review your application and to contact you about the role. We never use them for marketing, and applying does not add you to our newsletter unless you sign up for it separately.

Your application is seen only by Brendan and Kyra Sweeney and is processed by Formspree. We keep it for 12 months so we can reach out if a fitting role opens up, and then we delete it. You can ask us to delete it sooner at any time by emailing contact@wearelostobjects.com. Beyond Formspree processing it, we never sell or share your application.

Cookies

Our website doesn't set any cookies of its own. It keeps a few small values in your browser's storage to remember your preferences, such as whether you have already signed up for our newsletter or dismissed our privacy notice. We do not use third party advertising or tracking cookies. The embedded Vimeo player used for our homepage video runs in Vimeo's "do not track" mode, so it sets no tracking cookies, though Vimeo's network may set strictly necessary security cookies when the video loads. Vimeo's privacy policy

Your rights

You have the right to:

  • Unsubscribe from our email communications at any time using the unsubscribe link in every email
  • Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
  • Request that we delete your personal data
  • Withdraw your consent to data processing at any time

To exercise any of these rights, email us at contact@wearelostobjects.com.

Data retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law. If you request deletion, we will remove your data within 30 days.

Children's privacy

Our website, services, and community are intended for adults 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe someone under 18 has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Your continued use of our website after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
