Welcome to Nightforge Studios LLC ("Nightforge Studios", "Nightforge", "we", "us", or
"our"), a Colorado-based indie game and software development studio. We take your privacy
as seriously as we take our boss battles, very seriously. This Privacy Policy
("Policy") describes how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when
you visit nightforge.org, play our games, or interact
with our services. By accessing or using our services, you agree to the terms of this
Policy. If you do not agree, please put down the controller and discontinue use of our
services.
2. Information We Collect
Information You Provide Directly: This
includes information you submit when you contact us, sign up for newsletters,
participate in forums, enter contests, or otherwise interact with our games and
services. Examples: your name, email address, and any witty comments you send our way.
Transaction Information: When you purchase
our games or in-game content, transactions are processed via third-party platforms
such as Steam. We do not directly collect or store your payment information, but we
may receive confirmation of your purchase (e.g., transaction ID, purchase date) for
support and refund purposes. For Steam's privacy policy, see here.
Automatically Collected Information: Like
most websites, we use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to collect information
about your device, browser, IP address, and how you interact with our site and games.
This helps us improve your experience and keep the monsters at bay.
Usage Data: We may collect data about how you
use our games and services, such as gameplay statistics, crash reports, and bug logs.
This helps us squash bugs and balance the game (no, we won't nerf your favorite
card, probably).
3. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
Provide, operate, maintain, and improve our games, website, and services
Process transactions and verify purchases
Respond to your comments, questions, and customer service requests (we love hearing
from you!)
Send you technical notices, updates, security alerts, and support messages
Communicate with you about products, services, offers, events, and patch notes (no
spam, we promise)
Monitor and analyze usage and trends to improve your experience and our products
Detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent transactions, abuse, and other illegal
activities (no cheating!)
Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies (pixels, beacons, etc.) to enhance your experience,
remember your preferences, and analyze site traffic. Cookies are small data files stored on
your device. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling them may
affect your experience (and possibly your high score).
We may also use third-party analytics services (like Google Analytics) to help us
understand how you use our site and games. These third parties may set their own cookies
and have their own privacy policies.
5. Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information
to third parties for their marketing purposes. However, we may share your information in the
following circumstances (cue dramatic music):
With Service Providers: We may share
information with trusted third-party vendors who help us operate our website, process
payments (e.g., Steam), analyze data, or provide customer support. They are
contractually obligated to keep your info safe and not use it for their own nefarious
purposes.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose your
information if required by law, subpoena, or court order, or if we believe such action
is necessary to comply with the law, protect our rights, or prevent fraud or imminent
harm (we hope it never comes to this).
Business Transfers: If we merge, sell, or
transfer part or all of our assets (e.g., if Nightforge is acquired by a benevolent
dragon), your information may be transferred as part of that deal. We'll notify you if
this happens.
With Your Consent: We may share your
information for other purposes if you give us explicit permission (e.g., if you want
your epic fan art featured on our site).
6. Data Security
We implement reasonable and appropriate security measures (technical, administrative, and
physical) to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration,
disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or
electronic storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you suspect
a security issue, please contact us immediately.
7. Your Rights and Choices
Access & Correction: You may request access
to or correction of your personal information by contacting us. We'll do our best to respond
promptly (unless we're in the middle of a boss fight).
Opt-Out: You can unsubscribe from our marketing
emails at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link or contacting us directly. We'll
be sad to see you go, but we respect your choice.
Cookies: You can control or delete cookies
via your browser settings. For more info, see your browser's help documentation.
California/Colorado/Other Jurisdictions: Depending on your location, you may have additional rights under local privacy laws
(e.g., CCPA, CPA, GDPR). Contact us for details or to exercise your rights.
8. Children's Privacy
Our games and services are not intended for children under 13 (or the minimum age in your
jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you
believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we'll
delete it faster than a speedrun glitch.
9. Third-Party Services & Links
Our website and games may contain links to third-party sites and services (like Steam,
Discord, or social media). We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of
those third parties. Please review their privacy policies before sharing your info. For
Steam's privacy policy, visit https://store.steampowered.com/privacy_agreement/.
10. Refunds & Return Policy
We offer a return policy for our games and software purchased through authorized channels
(e.g., Steam). To be eligible for a refund, you must provide proof of purchase (such as a
receipt or transaction confirmation) and proof of the purchase date. Refunds are subject to
the policies of the platform through which you purchased (e.g., Steam's refund policy may
apply). We reserve the right to deny refund requests that do not meet these criteria or
appear fraudulent. For Steam purchases, see their refund policy here.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time (patch notes for your privacy!). We'll
post the updated version on this page and update the "Last updated" date above. If we make
material changes, we'll try to notify you (but you should check back here occasionally,
just in case).
12. Contact Us
If you have any questions, concerns, requests, or just want to say hi, you can reach us at:
Email: [email protected] Address: Nightforge Studios LLC, Colorado, United States of America
13. The Final Boss (Limitation of Liability)
By using our services, you acknowledge that while we do our best to protect your data, no
system is invincible (not even ours). Nightforge Studios LLC is not liable for any
indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of our games, website,
or services, except as required by law. If you have a dispute with us, please contact us
first. We prefer to resolve things peacefully, not with a PvP duel. For more information,
see our Terms of Service.
