Privacy Policy

Our commitment

Tapwave operates this website as a service provider for hyper-casual game development. We only collect personal data when you choose to share it — for example, by submitting a contact form. We do not sell your data, and we don't share it with third parties except where required for the operation of services described below.

What data we collect

• Contact form submissions: name, email address, subject, and message content — provided voluntarily when you reach out to us.
• Analytics data: page visits, referral sources, and approximate session durations — collected anonymously if you consent to analytics cookies.
• Cookie consent preferences: your cookie choices, stored locally in your browser via localStorage.
• Technical data: browser type, device type, and general location (country level) — collected through analytics services if consented.

How we use your data

• To respond to your enquiries and discuss potential projects.
• To understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it (analytics, with consent).
• To remember your cookie preferences and honour them on return visits.
• We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling.

Legal basis for processing

• Consent: for analytics cookies and advertising-related cookies, which you can withdraw at any time via the Cookie Policy page.
• Legitimate interest: for responding to your contact form messages and maintaining basic website security.
• Contractual necessity: where we're in a project conversation with you and need to process your details to proceed.

Third-party services

We may use third-party tools for analytics (such as Google Analytics) if you have given consent. These services have their own privacy policies. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party for marketing purposes.

• Analytics providers receive anonymised usage data if you consent.
• Advertising networks may receive consent signals based on your preferences.
• No marketing data is shared without your explicit consent.

How long we keep data

• Contact form messages are retained for as long as needed to respond and follow up, typically no more than 12 months after our last exchange.
• Analytics data is retained according to the respective provider's default settings.
• Cookie preference data is stored in your browser and remains until you clear it or update your preferences.

How we protect your data

• The website is served over HTTPS to encrypt data in transit.
• Cookie preferences are stored locally in your browser — we don't hold them on a server.
• Access to any data we receive via contact forms is limited to the people who need it to respond to you.
• In the unlikely event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you as required by applicable law.

Your rights

• Access: you can request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
• Rectification: you can ask us to correct any inaccurate information.
• Erasure: you can request that we delete your personal data, subject to any legal obligations we may have.
• Portability: you can request your data in a machine-readable format where technically feasible.
• Objection: you can object to processing based on legitimate interest.
• Withdraw consent: if processing is based on consent, you can withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we update the "last reviewed" date at the top of the page. Continued use of the website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
