Odd Little Games is a one-person studio. We collect as little about you as we can, we don't sell it, and this page explains the whole of it in plain terms.
Who we are
In short: one small studio, one person, easy to reach.Odd Little Games (sole trader) runs the games and the sites at https://salientfront.net/ https://coldmarch.com/. For anything about your information, we are the "data controller," and you can reach us any time at [email protected].
What we collect
In short: what you choose to send us, plus basic, mostly-anonymous visit data.Things you give us
If you email us, join a mailing list, post in our community, or support us, we get whatever you send: your email address, a username or handle, and the content of your messages. You only share these if you choose to.
Things collected automatically
When you visit, our host and analytics may record standard technical data such as your rough location (from your IP address), browser and device type, and which pages you viewed. This helps us keep the site up and understand what people play. See Cookies & analytics.
Things from other services
If you reach us through Patreon, Discord, Bluesky, or YouTube, those platforms may pass on the limited profile details you've made available to them (for example, your handle and support tier). We don't receive your payment card details — those stay with the platform.
How we use it
In short: to run the site, reply to you, and improve the games.We use your information to run and secure the sites and games, to reply when you get in touch, to send updates you've asked for, to understand how the games are used so we can make them better, and to meet our legal obligations.
Under UK and EU data-protection law we rely on: your consent (for things like a mailing list, which you can withdraw any time); our legitimate interests in running a small studio and keeping it secure; and legal obligation where a law requires us to keep certain records.
How long we keep it
In short: only as long as it's useful, then we delete it.We keep information only for as long as we need it for the purpose we collected it, or as long as the law requires. Analytics data is kept on our own Matomo server and reviewed in aggregate; emails and messages are kept while our conversation is live and for a reasonable period after. Ask us to delete your data and we will, unless we're legally required to keep it.
Your rights
In short: you can see, correct, or delete what we hold, and complain if we get it wrong.If you're in the UK or EU, you have the right to access the information we hold about you, to correct it, to delete it, to restrict or object to how we use it, to move it elsewhere, and to withdraw consent at any time. To use any of these, email [email protected] and we'll respond within the time the law allows. To delete a game account and its data, use our account deletion form.
If you think we've handled your data poorly, you can complain to the UK's Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk (or your local data-protection authority).
Children
In short: the site isn't aimed at young children, and we don't knowingly collect their data.These sites and their sign-up features are intended for people aged 13 and over. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under that age. If you're a parent or guardian and believe a child has sent us their information, email [email protected] and we'll delete it.
International transfers
In short: some providers are abroad; we expect appropriate safeguards.Some of the services we use may store data outside the UK or your country. Where that happens, we rely on those providers using recognised safeguards (such as standard contractual clauses) to protect your information to a comparable standard.
Security
In short: we take sensible care, but no site is perfectly secure.We take reasonable steps to protect the limited information we hold, including serving the site over HTTPS and limiting who can access it. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security.
Changes to this policy
In short: if it changes, we update the date at the top.We'll update this page when our practices change and revise the effective date. For significant changes we'll try to give a clearer heads-up through the site or our channels.
Contact
In short: one email reaches us for anything on this page.Questions, requests, or corrections: [email protected].
