Privacy Policy
The Main Points
This is a quick overview of my privacy policy.
Further down you can read the policy in its entirety.
1. Website
My sites do not use any cookies. If this changes in the future, you will be prompted with an appropriate cookie consent banner on your following visit.
2. Mailing list
When signing up to my mailing list, I use a third-party service called Brevo to securely store your email, name, and game interests. You can read Brevo’s privacy policy here.
I track if and when you click on the links in my emails. I do this for my own statistical needs and to tailor the email flow to your behavior. For example, I only want to send you a survey if you have previously downloaded the beta—or I may wish to unsubscribe you, if you never engange with the emails.
If at any point you want me to stop receiving emails from me, you can unsubscribe using the link at the bottom of any of the emails.
3. Games
When playing any of my games, I use the Unity Analytics feature provided by Unity to collect data about your gameplay. It’s further explained in Unity’s Privacy Policy.
If that game contains in-app purchases, your data may be shared with Steam, Google Play Store, or Apple App Store.
4. Support
If you contact me for support reasons, via support.goehler.dk, your contact info is sent directly to my email inbox.
A copy of the issue — and any information shared via the contact form in that regard — is also stored on my webserver. Any subsequent email correspondence is only stored on my email account with Google.
