How we handle your information.

Who is responsible

Deege Games LLC is responsible for the information described in this policy. For privacy questions or requests, email support@deege.games.

Website information

Site operation

When you visit, limited technical information—such as your IP address, browser or device information, access time, and requested pages—is processed as needed to deliver, secure, and troubleshoot the site. It is retained only as long as reasonably necessary for those purposes or to meet legal obligations.

Optional website analytics

If you allow analytics, limited usage information—such as pages viewed, interactions, referring pages, approximate region, and browser or device information—is processed to understand and improve the site. Analytics may use cookies and a pseudonymous browser identifier. We do not intentionally collect names, email addresses, precise location, or feedback text through analytics, and we do not use analytics for targeted advertising.

Analytics cookies and associated data are kept only as long as reasonably necessary for these purposes or to meet legal obligations. You can change your choice at any time using Privacy choices. Rejecting or withdrawing consent disables analytics and removes its cookies where possible. Essential browser storage records your choice so we can respect it.

Haunted House Hellshift gameplay analytics

The Steam build uses optional gameplay analytics only after you allow them. If you do not allow analytics, collection stays off. The itch.io build does not send gameplay analytics to Deege Games.

When allowed, analytics may include session and play-time information; game progress, outcomes, mode, and local player count; and technical information such as a pseudonymous installation identifier, platform, device information, timestamps, and approximate region.

We use this information to understand progression, difficulty, stability, and game balance. We do not intentionally collect names, email addresses, precise location, payment details, messages, or file contents through gameplay analytics. Because analytics use a pseudonymous identifier, the information is not completely anonymous.

Gameplay analytics are kept only as long as reasonably necessary for these purposes or to meet legal obligations. You can stop collection or request deletion using the privacy controls in the game settings, or contact us for help.

Messages and feedback

If you email us, we receive your email address, message, and anything you attach or choose to provide. If you use a linked feedback form, we receive the information you submit, and the form provider processes information needed to operate the service. Please do not include sensitive personal information in feedback.

We use messages and feedback to respond, provide support, fix problems, and improve the game. We keep them only as long as reasonably necessary for those purposes, security, legal compliance, or the establishment or defense of legal claims.

Storefronts and external services

Steam and itch.io independently process account, download, transaction, payment, and platform-use information under their own policies. Deege Games does not receive your full payment-card details. Storefronts may provide us with transaction, entitlement, aggregate sales, or support information needed to distribute and support the game.

Embedded media and other third-party content may allow the provider to process technical information, such as your IP address, browser or device details, and interactions when the content is loaded or played. Links to third-party sites take you to services governed by their own privacy practices.

Why we process information

Where a legal basis is required, we rely on:

• Consent for optional website analytics and optional Steam gameplay analytics. You may withdraw it at any time without affecting earlier processing.
• Legitimate interests to deliver and secure the site, answer messages, provide support, prevent abuse, and understand voluntarily submitted feedback, balanced against your rights.
• Contract and legal obligations where information is needed to distribute or support a game, maintain required business records, or comply with law.

When information is shared

We share information only as needed with providers that support hosting, site delivery, website and gameplay analytics, storefront distribution, feedback, embedded media, and email. We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect rights and safety, or as part of a business reorganization or transfer subject to appropriate protections.

Deege Games does not sell personal information and does not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not use gameplay analytics for targeted advertising.

International processing and security

Providers may process information in the United States, European Union, or other countries. Where required, transfers rely on recognized legal safeguards. We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards appropriate to the information and services involved, but no online system can be guaranteed completely secure.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or receive a portable copy of personal information, and to withdraw consent. You may also have the right to appeal a decision or complain to your local data protection authority. We will not discriminate against you for exercising applicable privacy rights.

To make a request, email support@deege.games. We may need enough information to verify and fulfill the request. For gameplay analytics, you can also use the privacy controls in the game settings.

Children

Haunted House Hellshift is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. A parent or guardian who believes a child has provided information can contact us to request deletion.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the website, game, providers, or legal requirements change. We will post the revised policy here and change the date at the top. If a change materially affects a consent choice, we will request a new choice where required.
