Privacy Policy

Overview

Rising Warrior Games ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website risingwarriorgames.com and associated pages. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our site, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.

By using our website, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the site.

Information We Collect

We collect two types of information: information you provide directly to us, and information collected automatically through third-party tools.

Information you provide:

• Email address — collected when you sign up for our mailing list via the "Join the Horde" form on our website. This is voluntary.

Information collected automatically:

• Usage and analytics data — including pages visited, time on site, referral source, browser type, and device type, collected via Google Analytics.
• Advertising and behavioral data — including page views and content interactions, collected via the Meta (Facebook) Pixel to help us understand and improve our advertising.
• IP address and general location — collected passively by the above third-party services.

How We Use Your Information

• To send you updates about Rising Warrior Games, new games, campaigns, and announcements (email list subscribers only).
• To understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it (Google Analytics).
• To measure the effectiveness of our advertising and reach potential customers with relevant ads (Meta Pixel).
• To fulfill any obligations related to Kickstarter or BackerKit campaigns you have participated in (handled through those platforms directly).

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Third-Party Services

Our website uses the following third-party services, each with their own privacy practices:

• Google Analytics — tracks site usage. You can opt out via the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On. Google's privacy policy is at policies.google.com/privacy.
• Meta (Facebook) Pixel — tracks page views and content interactions for ad measurement. You can manage your ad preferences at facebook.com/adpreferences. Meta's privacy policy is at facebook.com/privacy/policy.
• Mailchimp — manages our email list and newsletter distribution. Mailchimp's privacy policy is at intuit.com/privacy/statement.
• Kickstarter / BackerKit — if you have backed our campaign or placed a late pledge, those platforms manage their own data collection. Please refer to their respective privacy policies.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

Our website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies operated by Google and Meta. These tools may set cookies on your browser to recognize you across visits and across other websites.

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some features. Most browsers also allow you to clear cookies at any time.

Email Communications

If you join our mailing list, we will send you updates about our games, campaigns, and news. We use Mailchimp to manage our list.

You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email we send, or by contacting us directly. We comply with the CAN-SPAM Act and will honor all opt-out requests promptly.

Your Rights

Depending on where you are located, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information:

• Access & Portability — you can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Correction — you can ask us to correct inaccurate data.
• Deletion — you can request that we delete your personal data (e.g., removing you from our mailing list and any stored records).
• Opt-Out of Tracking — you can opt out of Google Analytics and Meta Pixel tracking using the tools linked in the Third-Party Services section above.
• California Residents (CCPA) — you have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request deletion, and to opt out of the sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information.

Data Retention

We retain email addresses on our mailing list until you unsubscribe or request deletion. Analytics data is retained per the default retention settings of Google Analytics and Meta. We do not store payment or financial data on our servers; such transactions are handled entirely by Kickstarter, BackerKit, or other platforms.

Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have inadvertently collected such information, please contact us and we will promptly delete it.
