Hangry Games Privacy Policy

Draft for review — not yet effective. Complete the bracketed details and verify the described practices before publishing or collecting information.

Effective date: [PUBLICATION DATE]

Who is responsible for your information

[FULL LEGAL OPERATOR NAME], operating Hangry Games, is responsible for the personal information described here. Contact our privacy team at [MONITORED PRIVACY EMAIL] or [BUSINESS POSTAL ADDRESS]. Where more than one organization jointly determines how information is used, identify those organizations and their respective responsibilities here: [CONFIRM SOLE OR JOINT CONTROLLERS].

This notice covers the Hangry Games website, mailing-list signups and messages you send us. External crowdfunding, social-media and other linked services have their own privacy notices. We do not automatically add you to a mailing list because you visit this website.

Our no-sale and no-marketing-sharing commitment

We do not sell or rent your personal information, disclose it to advertisers or data brokers, or share it for another organization’s independent marketing or cross-context behavioral advertising. We use your information only for the purposes described in this policy.

We limit access to authorized people working on Hangry Games and service providers that need information to host and secure the website, deliver requested emails, or handle your requests on our behalf. These providers must act under appropriate data-protection terms and must not use your information for their own advertising. Our providers and processing locations are: [LIST HOST, MAILING-LIST PROVIDER, OTHER PROCESSORS AND COUNTRIES].

We may disclose the minimum information necessary when legally required, such as in response to a valid court order, or where necessary and lawful to protect people, investigate abuse or enforce legal rights. These limited disclosures mean we cannot promise that no other person or organization will ever process information.

What we collect and why

• Mailing list: your email address, any name you choose to provide, and records of your signup and preferences. We use these to send the Hangry Games updates you request, manage delivery and honor your choices.
• Messages and privacy requests: contact details, the contents of your message and the limited information needed to verify and resolve your request.
• Technical and security information: the hosting service may receive your IP address, requested pages, timestamps, browser/device information and security logs to deliver the site, diagnose errors and prevent abuse. Confirm the precise host logging practices before this policy takes effect.

Information comes from you, your device when it connects, and providers operating these services for us. We do not request payment information, precise location, sensitive personal information or public profiles through the current informational site. Please do not include sensitive information in general messages. Any future store, contest or account feature will require an updated notice before collecting additional information.

Your choice to subscribe

Providing mailing-list information is optional; you can browse without subscribing. We request an affirmative opt-in for marketing emails. You can withdraw consent at any time through the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting us. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal. We stop marketing promptly, within applicable legal deadlines, and retain only the minimal suppression record needed to avoid contacting you again.

Legal bases where required

Where European, UK or similar laws require a legal basis, we rely on your consent for optional marketing; our legitimate interests in securely operating the website and responding to general inquiries, balanced against your rights; and legal obligations for required compliance records and disclosures. You may object to processing based on legitimate interests. We do not use solely automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

Cookies, local storage and tracking

The supplied theme does not include advertising pixels or analytics scripts. WordPress, hosting and any installed plugins may use necessary storage for login, security or requested functionality. [INSERT VERIFIED COOKIE/STORAGE INVENTORY, PURPOSES, PROVIDERS AND DURATIONS, OR CONFIRM NO VISITOR COOKIES.]

Optional analytics, advertising or email open/click tracking must remain disabled unless this notice is updated and any legally required consent is obtained. Where consent is required, visitors must be able to reject optional tracking as easily as accept it and later withdraw consent. We do not sell or share information for targeted advertising, including when a Global Privacy Control signal is enabled. [CONFIRM HANDLING OF DO NOT TRACK AND GPC ACROSS ALL INSTALLED SERVICES.]

How long we keep information

We retain information only as long as needed for its stated purpose, our legal obligations or resolving disputes. Mailing-list information is retained while you remain subscribed and the list is active; unsubscribe requests leave only a minimal suppression/consent record where necessary. [CONFIRM MAXIMUM INACTIVE-SUBSCRIBER PERIOD AND REVIEW CYCLE.]

Messages and resolved privacy requests: [PERIOD OR SPECIFIC RETENTION CRITERIA]. Technical/security logs: [PERIOD]. Backups: [EXPIRY CYCLE]. At the end of the applicable period, information is deleted or irreversibly anonymized, including through the providers’ deletion processes, except for narrowly required legal preservation.

International processing

Hangry Games operates in the United States. Providers may process information in the countries identified above, where privacy protections may differ. When applicable law requires safeguards for an international transfer, we use an appropriate lawful mechanism, such as applicable standard contractual clauses and additional safeguards or an applicable adequacy decision. [IDENTIFY THE ACTUAL TRANSFER MECHANISMS AND HOW TO OBTAIN DETAILS; DO NOT ASSUME PROVIDER CERTIFICATION.]

Your privacy rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may request access to or a copy of your information, correction, deletion, portability, restriction of use, or objection to certain processing. You may withdraw consent, opt out of direct marketing, and exercise applicable rights concerning sale, sharing or targeted advertising. We do not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights.

Send requests to [MONITORED PRIVACY EMAIL]. We may ask for proportionate information to verify your identity or an authorized agent’s authority, without requesting more than necessary. We respond within applicable legal deadlines and explain any lawful exception, denial or permitted extension. If an appeal right applies, reply to our decision with “Privacy appeal”; we will provide the outcome and information about further review. You may also complain to the privacy regulator where you live, including an EEA supervisory authority, the UK ICO, Canada’s privacy commissioner, Australia’s OAIC or the relevant US state authority.

California and other US residents have the rights required by laws that apply to our operations. We do not sell personal information or share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. [VERIFY APPLICABLE STATE-LAW THRESHOLDS AND ADD ANY REQUIRED REQUEST METHODS AND PRIOR-12-MONTH DISCLOSURES BEFORE LAUNCH.]

Children

The mailing list is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect children’s personal information. If you believe a child has submitted information, contact us so we can investigate and delete it as required. We do not use the cartoon style of the game as a substitute for assessing whether any future service is directed to children or requires parental consent.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to the information, including limiting access and using secure service configurations. No system is completely secure. We assess suspected incidents and provide legally required notices. [VERIFY ACCESS CONTROLS, HTTPS, PROVIDER CONTRACTS AND INCIDENT PROCEDURES.]

Changes to this notice

We will post changes here with an updated effective date. Where required, we will notify you of material changes and obtain fresh consent before using information for a new purpose that requires it.
