Privacy policy
Who we are
Gamemoor is operated by RedNorth Studio. When we say "we", "our", or "us" in this policy, we mean RedNorth Studio. If you have questions about this policy, get in touch — we'll reply as quickly as we can.
What we collect
Playing without an account: We record an anonymous play event — the game played, your device type, and referrer. A temporary session ID is stored in your browser's sessionStorage. It is never linked to a persistent identity and disappears when you close the tab.
A score you set while signed out: When a game records scores, your browser's sessionStorage keeps your latest score in that game for the tab, so that you can keep it by signing in. We do not read it until you sign in; then it is added to the leaderboard under your account, and it is not used after 30 minutes. It disappears when you close the tab.
Creating an account: We store your email address, username, and account preferences. Passwords are hashed using industry-standard methods — we never store them in plain text.
Scores and achievements are saved if you are signed in and choose to submit them.
The newsletter: We keep your email address while you are subscribed. When you unsubscribe, from the link in any issue or from your account page, we delete it.
Where visits come from: We count, per day, how many visits arrive from other websites or from campaign links, how often a few links on our own pages are clicked, such as the newsletter link on some game pages, and how often a game page offers to keep a score and the offer is taken. These counts hold nothing about you: no IP address, no identifier, and nothing stored on your device.
Messages you send us: We keep your name, email address and message so we can answer you. We delete them a year after we reply, or a year after they arrive if we don't reply.
How we use it
We use the data we collect to run the platform — play counts, leaderboards, account features, and game recommendations. We use Google Analytics to understand how players discover and use Gamemoor. We do not sell your data to third parties.
Advertising
Ads are shown to guests and free-tier users on game pages. Moor's Club members see no ads.
Google provides the ads. If you allow it in Google's consent message, Google may use cookies to personalise the ads you see. If you don't, Google shows ads based on the page you're on.
Cookies
We use a session cookie to keep you signed in. Google, which provides our ads and analytics, sets cookies only if you allow it in Google's consent message, which appears on your first visit: Google Analytics cookies (_ga and _ga_*) to measure how the site is used, and advertising cookies on pages with ads. Until you choose, none are set.
You can change your choice at any time.
Your rights
If you are in the EU/EEA, you have the right to access, correct, export, or erase your personal data. To exercise any of these rights, contact us. We are legally required to respond within 30 days, but we will usually get back to you much faster than that.
You can also delete your account yourself from your account page. When you do, everything personal is erased straight away: your email address, name, icon, bio, sign-in details, newsletter subscription and any feedback you sent a developer. We keep an anonymised record of your scores, ratings and achievements, shown as "Deleted account", so that leaderboards stay in order for everyone else — nothing in that record identifies you. Payment details stay with Stripe, our payment provider, under Stripe's own privacy policy. We keep the amounts and dates of past Moor's Club payments for our accounts, with nothing that leads back to you. A tip you sent stays in the developer's earnings with Stripe's reference for that one payment. An account whose email address is never verified is removed automatically after 30 days: we send one reminder after a week, and if the address is never confirmed the account and the personal data in it are erased.
If you are a developer, deleting your account also takes your games down: live games leave the catalogue, and games waiting for review or release go back to draft. We keep the games, their plays and scores, but nobody can play them. Your studio page is erased: name, bio, links and images. Your handle stays reserved, so nobody else can take it. Your Stripe account is yours and stays with Stripe; we only remove our link to it. If we may still owe you money, such as a payout or a jam prize, deletion waits until it is paid.
Young players
Gamemoor is for users aged 13 and over. Some content on the platform is rated PEGI 18 and intended for adult players — age gates are in place for those games. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately and we will remove it.
Changes to this policy
We update this policy when something material changes — not to bury things in legalese, but to keep it accurate. The date at the top of this page always reflects the last update. Continued use of Gamemoor after a change means you accept the updated policy.
