Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 20, 2024
Last Updated: January 20, 2024

1. Introduction

Game Framework ("we," "our," or "us") operates the gameframework.dev website and the Game Framework cloud platform. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our services.

2. Information We Collect

Account Information
When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and password. If you subscribe to a paid plan, we collect billing information through our payment processor (Stripe). We do not store credit card numbers on our servers.

Usage Data
We automatically collect information about how you interact with our services, including IP address, browser type, operating system, pages visited, and timestamps. This data helps us improve performance and diagnose issues.

Package Data
When you publish packages to the Game Framework registry, we store package metadata (name, version, description, author) and artifact files. Package contents are stored in the storage backend configured by your workspace.

Workspace and Team Data
We collect information about workspaces you create or join, including workspace name, member roles, and API key usage. This is necessary to provide team collaboration features.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve our services
  • Process transactions and send related information
  • Send administrative messages, updates, and security alerts
  • Respond to support requests
  • Monitor usage patterns and optimize performance
  • Enforce our Terms of Use and prevent abuse

4. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on secure servers. Package artifacts are stored in your configured storage backend (Game Framework default storage, Amazon S3, or MinIO). We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest.

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. Package data is retained according to your workspace's storage policy. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time.

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

  • Stripe for payment processing. Stripe's privacy policy governs payment data handling.
  • Vercel for website hosting and deployment.
  • MongoDB Atlas for database hosting.

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their marketing purposes.

6. Custom Storage

If you configure custom storage (S3-compatible backends), your package artifacts are stored in your own infrastructure. Game Framework only stores metadata and indexing information on our servers. We do not access or read the contents of packages stored on your custom storage backends.

7. Open-Source SDK

The Game Framework SDK is open-source under the MIT License. The SDK does not collect telemetry, analytics, or any user data. Only the cloud platform (gameframework.dev) collects data as described in this policy.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate personal data
  • Request deletion of your personal data
  • Export your data in a portable format
  • Withdraw consent for optional data processing

To exercise these rights, contact us at privacy@gameframework.dev.

9. Cookies

We use essential cookies required for authentication and session management. We do not use third-party tracking cookies or advertising cookies.

10. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to individuals under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on our website and updating the "Last updated" date.
