Privacy policy

What this policy covers

This privacy policy describes how MVGIE Studios ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit mvgie.com. It applies to the website only — separate notices may apply to specific games or services we ship in future.

What we collect

When you visit our website, we may collect:

• Information you give us directly — through the contact form (your name, email, message) or via newsletter signups (your email address).
• Aggregated analytics — anonymised information about how visitors use the site, collected through a privacy-respecting analytics service.
• Server logs — your IP address, browser type, and the pages you requested. These are retained for a short period for security and debugging.

We do not sell your personal data and we do not share it with third parties for marketing.

How we use your data

• To respond to messages sent via the contact form.
• To send newsletter updates you have explicitly opted into.
• To understand how visitors use the site and improve it.
• To investigate and prevent abuse, fraud, or security threats.

How long we keep it

• Contact form submissions — retained for as long as needed to respond, then archived for up to 12 months.
• Newsletter subscribers — until you unsubscribe.
• Analytics — aggregated, no individual identification possible.
• Server logs — typically 30 days.

Your rights

If you are in the UK, the EEA, or another jurisdiction with similar privacy laws, you have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Request correction or deletion of your data.
• Withdraw consent for newsletter subscriptions at any time.
• Object to or restrict certain types of processing.
• Lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority (in the UK, the ICO).

Third-party services

We use a small number of third-party services to run the site:

• Vercel — hosting and content delivery.
• Google Fonts — typography (Nunito).
• A privacy-respecting analytics service (TBC).

Each of these has its own privacy policy that governs the data they handle on our behalf.

Cookies

See our cookie policy for details on the cookies and similar technologies the site uses.
