Privacy policy

Who we are

Violet Arc is an independent games studio, and this site is violetarc.io. When this policy says “we”, it means Violet Arc. Questions about your data go to privacy@violetarc.io.

What we collect

If you sign up for the devlog, we keep your email address and the date you signed up. That is all the sign-up form asks for.

If you email us, we keep your message and your address so we can reply. We don’t ask for anything else, and we don’t buy data about you from anyone.

Analytics

This site doesn’t run analytics, and we don’t run advertising trackers.

How we use it

To send the devlog, respond to enquiries and operate the site. We rely on your consent for the devlog and on our legitimate interests for everything else.

Sharing

We use third-party providers to host the site and send email, and they process data on our behalf. We don’t sell personal data.

Game tests

Private tests of our games collect their own data, and each has its own notice. Project Alchemy: private test privacy notice.

Tester agreements

If we invite you to test a game, we keep your name, your email address, the date and time you signed and the agreement version, to record that you agreed to the tester terms. It is stored on Cloudflare and emailed via Resend. Resend, which sends the emails, is based in the US. Cloudflare Turnstile checks the form for bots. We keep it while the tester terms apply, and delete it within 3 months after we tell testers the test is over or release the game. Questions: privacy@violetarc.io.

Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for these purposes. You can unsubscribe from the devlog at any time.

Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you can request access to, correction or deletion of your data, and you can withdraw consent at any time. Contact privacy@violetarc.io. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The current version will always be on this page.
