Privacy Policy
Character Sheet Studios is a remote-first indie game studio based in Vancouver, building character driven strategy games about pressure, identity, consequence, and who players become. This Privacy Policy explains our minimal-data approach, what information may be processed through our website, and how people can contact us about privacy questions.
We currently use this website to share studio information, development updates, press and business contact information, and links to official community channels. We do not currently use advertising cookies or cross-site behavioural advertising on this site.
Who We Are
This website is operated by Character Sheet Studios. You can contact the studio at hello@charactersheetstudios.com.
Information We Collect
When you visit this website, our hosting, security, and delivery providers may process standard technical information needed to run and protect the site. This can include your IP address, approximate location derived from IP address, browser and device information, pages visited, date and time of access, referring pages, and security or error logs.
If you email us, we collect the information you choose to send, such as your name, email address, organization, message, attachments, and any other details included in the inquiry.
How We Use Information
We take a minimal-data approach. We use this information to operate the website, keep it secure, diagnose problems, understand basic site performance, respond to inquiries, manage press, creator, platform, publishing, or business conversations, and maintain appropriate business records.
Service Providers And Processing
We may rely on service providers such as our web host, CDN or security provider, WordPress site infrastructure, email provider, and future newsletter or analytics providers if those services are added. These providers may process information in Canada, the United States, or other countries where they operate.
Cookies And Similar Technologies
The site may use strictly necessary cookies or similar technologies for core website operation, WordPress administration, security, CDN delivery, bot protection, and similar technical purposes.
We do not currently use advertising cookies, retargeting pixels, cross-site behavioural advertising, custom marketing tracking cookies, or sell personal information. If that changes, we will update this policy and, where required, request consent or provide opt-out controls before using non-essential tracking.
Email And Direct Inquiries
When you contact us by email, we use your message to respond to your inquiry. We do not add people to a marketing list just because they emailed the studio. If we offer a newsletter or notification list later, it will require a separate opt-in and include a way to unsubscribe.
Retention
Technical logs are kept for a limited period needed for security, diagnostics, hosting, and operational purposes. Email inquiries may be kept as long as reasonably needed to respond, manage the relationship, and maintain appropriate business records.
Your Privacy Choices
You may contact us to ask about personal information we hold about you, request a correction, request deletion where applicable, or withdraw consent where consent applies. We may need to verify your identity before responding to some requests.
Children’s Privacy
This website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through this site, please contact us.
Changes To This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as the studio, website, community channels, newsletter tools, analytics, playtest systems, or game services change. The updated date above will reflect the latest version.
