Privacy Policy

The key points

This is a quick overview of my privacy policy. 
Further down you’ll see the policy in it’s intirety.

1. Website

  1. When browsing this website, I collect anonymized user statistics and store them locally on the webserver. They are not shared with anyone.

  2. I will always honor ‘Do Not Track’ requests, and in such a case I assume you don’t consent, and the site will only be using functional cookies. If you wish to enable cookies after the fact, you can do so in the bottom right corner.

2. Mailing list

  1. When signing up to my mailing list, I use a third-party service called Sendinblue, to securely store your email, name and game interrests. Their terms of use can be found here.

  2. 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. F.x. I only want to send you a survey if you have previously downloaded the beta.

  3. If at any point you want me to stop receiving mails from me, you can unsubscribe using the link at the bottom of my mails.

3. Games

  1. 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.

  2. If that game displays ads, further information about ads engagement is collected and shared with Unity Ads.

  3. If that game contains In App Purchases, your data may be shared with Steam, Google Play Store or Apple App Store.

4. Support

  1. If you contact me for support reasons, via support.goehler.dk, your contact info is sent directly to my email inbox. 

  2. A copy of the issue — and any information shared  via the contactform in that regard — is also stored on my webserver. Any subsequent email correspondance is only ever stored on my email account.
