VoidLiege Studios Privacy Policy
Effective Date: June 4, 2025 Last Updated: June 4, 2025
Welcome to VoidLiege Studios! We are dedicated to creating engaging classic indie games. We understand the importance of your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how VoidLiege Studios ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and discloses information when you play our games, visit our website (https://www.google.com/search?q=voidliege.com), or otherwise interact with us.
1. What Information We Collect
Our approach to data collection is rooted in data minimization – we only collect information that is truly necessary for the operation, improvement, and security of our games and services.
Information You Provide Directly To Us
Contact Information: When you reach out to us for customer support, bug reports, feedback, or subscribe to our newsletter, you may provide your email address and any information you choose to include in your message.
Player Feedback: If you participate in surveys, beta tests, or direct communication with us, you may provide us with insights into your gameplay experience.
Information Collected Automatically
Game Progress & Stats: For most of our classic indie titles, game progress and statistics (such as scores, achievements, and completed levels) are primarily stored locally on your device. We do not typically collect or store this data on our servers unless specifically stated for an online feature (e.g., leaderboards).
Technical Information: When you play our games or visit our website, we may automatically collect certain technical data necessary for game functionality and security. This may include:
Device Information: Your device type, operating system, and unique device identifiers.
IP Address: Used for connection purposes, security, and general geographic location (non-specific).
Game Version: To ensure you're running the latest version and for compatibility checks.
Browser Information: When accessing our website, your browser type and language settings.
Usage Data (Analytics): We may use third-party analytics services to understand how our games are played, identify bugs, and improve the player experience. This data is typically aggregated or pseudonymized and may include:
Time spent in game, features used, crashes, and session lengths.
No personal identifying information (like your name or email) is collected through these analytics for offline game usage.
Information from Third-Party Platforms and Services
Game Platforms: When you purchase or play our games through platforms like Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, Itch.io, or console storefronts (e.g., PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo eShop), they may provide us with limited information necessary for game distribution and support (e.g., a platform-specific user ID, confirmation of purchase). Your interaction with these platforms is governed by their respective privacy policies. We do not receive your payment information directly from these platforms.
Payment Processors: If you make a direct purchase from our website (e.g., merchandise), payment processing is handled by secure third-party payment processors. We do not store your credit card or sensitive financial details.
Analytics Providers: We may use third-party analytics services (e.g., Unity Analytics, GameAnalytics) to collect and process usage data as described above. These providers act as data processors on our behalf. We encourage you to review their privacy policies: [Link to Unity Analytics Privacy Policy], [Link to GameAnalytics Privacy Policy], etc. (You will need to fill these in based on the actual services you use).
Advertising Networks (if applicable): If our games include in-game advertisements, the ad networks will collect data for ad delivery and targeting. Please note: Most classic indie games from VoidLiege Studios do not feature extensive in-game ads. If we introduce them, we will update this policy to name the specific networks and link to their privacy policies.

Performance of a Contract: Processing is necessary for us to provide you with our games and services (e.g., maintaining game functionality, providing support).

Legal Obligation: When processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation (e.g., responding to a legal request).
4. How We Share Your Information
We share your information only in limited circumstances:
With Third-Party Service Providers: We engage trusted third-party companies and individuals to perform services on our behalf (e.g., cloud hosting, analytics, customer support software). These providers are contractually bound to protect your data and only use it for the purposes we specify.
For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (i) comply with a legal obligation, (ii) protect and defend our rights or property, (iii) prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with our games, or (iv) protect the personal safety of users or the public.
Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your personal information may be transferred as a business asset. We will provide notice before your information is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.
With Your Consent: We may share your information with your explicit consent.
Aggregated or De-identified Data: We may share aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you.
5. Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Once data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.
6. Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at [your support email address].
