Our privacy position is simple: we collect the minimum information reasonably needed to operate our website, understand basic performance, communicate with people who ask to hear from us, and improve our games. We do not sell personal information. We do not sell, rent, trade, transfer, or make available email addresses, contact details, or signup lists.

Depending on how you use the website, you may choose to provide:
When you visit our website, some technical information may be collected automatically, including:
We do not intentionally collect sensitive personal information through the website. Please do not send sensitive personal information unless we specifically request it for a lawful and clearly stated purpose.
We use personal information for the following purposes:
| Purpose | Examples | Legal basis, where applicable |
|---|---|---|
| Website operation | Loading pages, preventing abuse, security logging, troubleshooting | Legitimate interests; legal obligations where applicable |
| Website performance and analytics | Understanding visits, traffic sources, page performance, and basic conversion events | Consent where required; legitimate interests where permitted |

| Playtesting | Selecting participants, sending instructions, collecting feedback, improving the game | Consent; legitimate interests; pre-contractual steps where applicable |
| Advertising conversion measurement | Measuring whether an ad click led to a basic website action, such as a signup or store click | Consent where required; legitimate interests where permitted |
| Compliance and safety | Responding to legal requests, enforcing rights, preventing misuse, protecting systems | Legal obligations; legitimate interests |
We do not use signup information to send unrelated marketing. Communications from Alchymic are intended to be infrequent and directly related to the product or topic you signed up for.
If you sign up for communications from Alchymic, you consent to receive infrequent communications about the product or topic identified at signup, such as Onkyo announcements, release information, playtest news, or major development updates.
We do not sell, rent, trade, transfer, share, or make available subscriber email addresses or contact details. We may use an email service provider to send messages on our behalf, but only as needed to provide the email service and subject to appropriate confidentiality and data protection obligations.
You may unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link in an email or by contacting privacy@alchymic.com. After you unsubscribe, we may retain limited suppression records to make sure we do not email you again unless you later resubscribe.
We may use cookies, pixels, local storage, tags, or similar technologies for:
Where required by law, we request consent before using non-essential analytics or advertising cookies. If you decline, non-essential analytics and advertising cookies should not be used, or the relevant tools should operate in a restricted consent-denied mode.
You can manage cookies through our cookie banner or preference controls where available. You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect website functionality.
We use third-party service providers only where reasonably needed to operate the website, protect the website, send requested communications, understand basic performance, or measure conversions. These may include:
We minimize third-party sharing to the greatest extent practical. Where possible, information is encrypted, pseudonymized, aggregated, or hashed before transfer. Some technical information, such as IP address or browser information, may be required for basic internet functionality, security, analytics, or advertising measurement.
Third-party websites and platforms, such as Steam, Kickstarter, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, Bluesky, Discord, or other external services, have their own privacy policies. This Policy does not control how those third parties process information after you leave our website or interact with their services.
We do not sell personal information. We do not sell, rent, trade, transfer, or make available email addresses, contact details, signup lists, playtest applications, or other personal information for money or for third-party marketing lists.
Some privacy laws define “sale” or “sharing” broadly to include certain advertising cookies, pixels, or cross-context behavioral advertising. Where such laws apply, we will provide any required consent controls or opt-out mechanisms. Our intent is to use advertising and analytics tools, where used, only for basic website performance measurement and conversion measurement, not to misuse personal information.
We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal information. These may include:
No online service can guarantee absolute security. If we become aware of a data breach affecting personal information, we will take appropriate steps and notify affected individuals or regulators where required by law.
We keep personal information only as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law.
Typical retention periods or criteria include:
When information is no longer needed, we delete, anonymize, or aggregate it where reasonably possible.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information. These may include the right to:
To exercise these rights, contact privacy@alchymic.com. We will respond within the time required by applicable law. We may need to verify your identity before providing, correcting, or deleting information.
