Privacy policy
Last updated: [PUBLICATION DATE]
Who is responsible
The data controller is [FULL NAME OR COMPANY NAME], tax ID [TAX ID], of [ADDRESS]. For anything about your privacy, write to [PRIVACY EMAIL].
The Vigil is a single-player mystery game. This policy explains what personal data is processed when you play the beta on this website, download it for Windows or from itch.io, or write to us.
What data is processed
The game has no accounts and no sign-up, and it sends us nothing about how you play.
| Where | What | Who sees it |
|---|---|---|
| Your device | Your saved game, your preferences (language, screen) and what you have already seen on other nights | Only you: it stays on your computer or in your browser |
| This website | Your IP address, browser, and the pages and files requested, in the host’s technical logs | Cloudflare, which hosts the site, and us only when investigating a fault or abuse |
| itch.io | Whatever itch.io collects when you download the game there | itch.io, under its own privacy policy |
| Your email | If you write to us: your address, your name if you give it, and what you tell us | Us, to reply and to improve the game |
We do not sell or share data, we do not build profiles, and we use no third-party analytics. If that ever changes, we will say so here first.
Why, and for how long
| Data | Purpose | Legal basis (GDPR) | How long |
|---|---|---|---|
| Website technical logs | Serving the site, keeping it secure and fixing faults | Legitimate interest, Art. 6(1)(f) | As long as Cloudflare keeps its logs; we keep no separate copy |
| Emails you send us | Replying to you and improving the game with what you tell us | Your consent in writing to us, Art. 6(1)(a), and our legitimate interest | [PERIOD], unless you ask us to delete them sooner |
| What is stored on your device | Letting you continue your game, and keeping the house from repeating what you have seen | It never reaches us | Until you delete it or uninstall the game |
Who else processes it
- Cloudflare, Inc. hosts the website and the game files. It processes the technical logs on our behalf, as a data processor.
- itch.io (Leafo Games LLC), if you download the game there: it is responsible for what it collects in its store.
- [EMAIL PROVIDER], if you write to us: it stores the emails on our behalf.
Cloudflare and itch.io are based in the United States. Transfers rely on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses [TO CHECK].
Cookies, minors and content
This website uses no advertising or analytics cookies. The browser version of the game stores your saved game and preferences in your browser’s storage: this is needed to play and never leaves your device. Cloudflare may set technical security cookies [TO CHECK].
The Vigil deals with murder, lies and desire, with dark humour, and is meant for players aged 16 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 14, the age of consent for data processing in Spain. If you think a child has written to us, tell us and we will delete the email.
Your rights
You can ask us to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to or take away your data by writing to [PRIVACY EMAIL]. We reply within one month at most. What is stored on your device you delete yourself: clear the game’s or the site’s data in your browser.
If you think we have not handled your data properly, you can complain to the Spanish Data Protection Agency, the AEPD, or to the authority where you live.
Changes
If this policy changes, we will say so on this page with the date of the new version.
