1. Who we are
Forge Peak Studios (“Forge Peak,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is an independent game studio. This policy applies to forgepeakstudios.com, related pages that link to it, and our game Pulse.
2. Information we process
Website
The website does not set advertising cookies or run analytics in its initial release. Our hosting provider may process technical request data such as IP address, browser type, requested page, date and time, and security signals to deliver and protect the site.
Messages you send
If you contact us, we process the information you provide, such as your name, email address, message, device details, and attachments. The website contact form prepares a message in your email application; it does not submit or store the message on the website.
Pulse
Pulse may store gameplay settings and progress locally on your device. When you choose an optional rewarded ad or open privacy controls, advertising and consent providers may process device identifiers, approximate location derived from IP address, ad interaction data, consent choices, and technical diagnostics. The precise data depends on your device, region, consent, and provider configuration.
3. How we use information
We use information to operate and secure our services; provide player support; diagnose crashes, bugs, and compatibility problems; remember gameplay and privacy settings; provide an optional rewarded ad when requested; respond to legal obligations; and improve the reliability and accessibility of our games.
4. Legal grounds
Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we process information as necessary to provide requested services, for our legitimate interests in operating and securing them, with consent for activities that require it, and to comply with legal obligations. You may withdraw consent through available privacy controls, though prior processing remains lawful.
5. Sharing
We may share information with service providers that help host, secure, distribute, support, or monetize our services; with platform operators such as app stores; when required by law or necessary to protect rights and safety; and in connection with a business reorganization. Providers process data under their own terms and privacy notices where they act independently. We do not sell personal information.
6. Retention
We keep correspondence only as long as reasonably needed to respond, maintain support records, protect our services, and meet legal requirements. Local game data remains on your device until the app, its data, or the device removes it. Service providers retain technical data according to their policies and our configured controls.
7. Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or receive a copy of personal information, object to certain processing, or withdraw consent. You may also use in-app privacy controls when available, adjust device advertising settings, decline optional rewarded ads, or uninstall the app. To make a request, email privacy@forgepeakstudios.com. We may need to verify your identity and may retain limited records where legally required.
8. Children
Our services are not directed to children under the minimum digital-consent age applicable in their location. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law. A parent or guardian who believes a child provided information should contact us.
9. International processing
Our providers may process information in countries other than your own. Where required, appropriate safeguards are used for cross-border transfers.
10. Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures appropriate to the nature of the information. No transmission or storage method is completely secure.
11. Changes
We may update this policy as our services or legal obligations change. We will post the revised policy here and update the effective date. Material changes may receive additional notice where required.
12. Contact
Questions or requests can be sent to privacy@forgepeakstudios.com. Please identify the service and type of request so we can respond efficiently.
