PRIVACY

Nicholas Huber, an independent developer.

For anything in this policy, including any request to see, correct or delete your data: [email protected].

Reading this site is anonymous. Specifically, kaiju64.com does not:

• set cookies, or use local storage or session storage;
• run analytics of any kind, first-party or third-party;
• load any script, font, stylesheet, image or video from another company's server - there is no CDN, no Google Fonts, no embedded YouTube player, and no social widget;
• serve adverts, or build a profile of you;
• sell, rent or share personal information with anyone for money or for anything else of value.

Because there is nothing tracking you in the first place, a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal from your browser changes nothing about how this site behaves - there is no behaviour to turn off.

Only what the contact form on the press kit page sends. If you never use that form, this site stores nothing about you at all.

The hosting provider also keeps ordinary server logs of requests to the site, as every web host does.

Giving a name and email is required only because a reply has nowhere to go without them. You are not obliged to use the form at all - plain email to [email protected] reaches the same person, and nothing on this site is withheld from you if you never get in touch.

To read your message and reply to it, and to keep the form from filling up with automated junk. That is the whole list, and it is not used for marketing.

Under the UK and EU GDPR, the lawful basis for both purposes is legitimate interests (Article 6(1)(f)): the interest in answering someone who wrote to a developer expecting a reply, and the interest in defending a public form against abuse so that it keeps working. You can object to this at any time, and in practice objecting means the message is deleted.

Your message is not passed, sold or disclosed to any other person or company. The one exception is infrastructure: this site and its database are run for us by a commercial cloud hosting provider, which necessarily stores the data on its servers in order to run them. That is the only category of third party involved - there is no email marketing tool, no CRM, no analytics provider and no support desk.

Those servers are in the United States. If you are writing from the UK, the EU or the EEA, your message is transferred there and stored there.

Data may also be disclosed where the law requires it, such as under a valid court order.

Email [email protected] and ask. You can ask to:

• get a copy of what is held about you;
• have something inaccurate corrected;
• have it all deleted;
• have its use restricted, or object to its use entirely;
• receive it in a portable, machine-readable form.

These come from the UK and EU GDPR, but they are not checked against your address: anyone who asks gets the same answer wherever they are writing from.

If you are in the UK, EU or EEA and you think this has been handled badly, you can lodge a complaint with your national data protection authority - in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office.

If this policy changes, the revised version is published on this page and the date at the top of it changes with it. Substantive changes - anything that widens what is collected or how long it is kept - will say plainly what changed.
