Privacy Policy Short Version:

– We will never spam you or distribute your information

– We won’t give out or sell your information to any third parties either

– If you’ve signed up to our mailing list, we might e-mail you from time to time. We’ll only contact you with information we think you want, and you can always easily unsibscribe.

– We hope that knowing more about the people that play our games will help us make games that best serve them. Being able to communicate with you easily is crucial, so we’re hoping you trust us with your e-mail address and will participate in our social media activities.

– Any game publisher’s most valuable assets are the people who play their games. We will always aim to treat you the way we would like to be treated.

– For the detailed (boring) privacy policy, read on…
