Privacy notice

Last updated 5 November 2026

Who is responsible

Witsteen BV, Swat Engelenstraat 52 bus 4, 2300 Turnhout, Belgium (company number 1025.657.709) is responsible for this website. Contact: games@witsteen.com.

This notice covers this website only. It does not cover the game itself, game accounts, store pages or social platforms. Each will have its own notice before it opens.

What this website does not do

This website has no accounts, payments, comments, analytics, advertising trackers or embedded social media. It does not set cookies or store anything in your browser, and it loads all of its fonts, images and scripts from its own server.

Cookies and browser storage

This website does not use cookies, local storage, session storage or similar technologies, so there is nothing to accept or refuse and no cookie banner. To choose how much animation to run, it reads your device's reduced-motion setting, pointer type, graphics support, memory size and processor core count. These stay on your device and are not saved or sent anywhere.

Information processed when you visit

Our hosting provider receives technical information when your browser requests a page: your IP address, browser and device type, the page requested, the time of the request and any errors. We use it only to deliver the website and keep it secure. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in running a working, secure website (GDPR article 6(1)(f)). We keep these records only as long as those purposes need.

The Keep watch list

If you leave your email address in the Keep watch form, we receive that address and the date and time you left it. The form sends nothing else, apart from an empty field that helps us turn away automated sign-ups. We keep the date and time with the address as the record of your consent. Before we send the first update, we send one mail asking you to confirm the address. An address that is not confirmed within 30 days of that mail is deleted. We use the address only to send you updates about the game from Witsteen: news, a reveal, a playtest or a release. We do not send anything else, and we never sell or share the list.

The legal basis is your consent (article 6(1)(a)). Every update has a one-click way to leave the list, and you can ask games@witsteen.com at any time, also before the first mail. When you leave, we delete your address, except a record that you left if the law requires one. We keep the list for as long as the game is in development or available.

The list is kept in a Google Sheet in Witsteen’s Google account. The form sends your address to a small program in that Sheet, so Google also receives the technical information your browser sends with the request. Nothing is mailed from that account. Before the first update, the list moves to a mailing service that sends the confirm mail and the updates, and this page will name it.

Information you send us

If you email us, we receive your message, your email address and anything you include, and we use it to reply. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in answering you (article 6(1)(f)) or, for a privacy request, our legal obligation to handle it (article 6(1)(c)). Please send only what we need.

Who receives information

Our hosting provider, our email provider and the provider that stores the Keep watch list process information on our behalf under their data processing terms. We do not sell personal information or share it for advertising.

These providers may process information outside the European Economic Area. Where they do, the transfer is covered by safeguards in their data processing terms, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses. Contact us for details.

Children

This website is not directed at children. Do not join the Keep watch list if you are under 16.

Automated decisions

We do not make decisions about you by automated means that have legal or similarly significant effects. Our hosting provider may automatically block abusive traffic to protect the website.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you may have the right to access, correct, erase or restrict your personal information, to object to processing based on legitimate interests, to receive a portable copy, and to withdraw consent at any time. To use a right, email games@witsteen.com and say which right you want to use. We answer without undue delay and within one month.

You can also complain to a data protection authority, such as the Belgian Data Protection Authority (Gegevensbeschermingsautoriteit / Autorité de protection des données) or the authority in the EU country where you live or work.

Changes

We will update this notice when the website's processing changes and show the new date at the top.
