Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information ScaryGaming collects, how we use it, and how we protect it when you visit our website, create an account, link Patreon, or play our games.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the information reasonably needed to run ScaryGaming, support players, and provide subscription-linked features.

• Account information: username, email address, authentication session data, and linked account identifiers.
• Gameplay information: game progress, saves, preferences, unlocked features, and related in-game activity.
• Subscription information: Patreon-linked membership status, Patreon user/member identifiers, tier information, and sync timestamps.
• Technical information: device, browser, approximate IP/network details, crash/error information, and security logs.
• Support communications: information you send when contacting us.

2. How We Use Information

• Provide and improve the website and games.
• Authenticate users and protect accounts.
• Sync Patreon memberships to in-game access and premium features.
• Save game progress and preferences.
• Monitor stability, prevent abuse, and investigate suspicious activity.
• Respond to support requests and service issues.

3. Patreon and Third-Party Account Linking

If you choose to link Patreon, we may receive information needed to confirm your membership and unlock the correct in-game tier. This may include your Patreon user ID, membership ID, tier access, and basic profile/account details made available by Patreon through its API.

We use that information only to verify entitlements, sync access, and support account-related issues. Your access to Patreon-managed content is still governed by Patreon’s platform and policies.

4. Cookies, Local Storage, and Similar Technology

ScaryGaming may use cookies, session tokens, and browser storage to keep you signed in, remember preferences, maintain gameplay state, and sync subscription status across the site.

5. Sharing of Information

We do not sell personal information. We may share limited information with service providers or platforms that help us operate the service, such as hosting, authentication, analytics, payment/subscription verification, and security tooling. We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect users, our service, or our rights.

6. Data Retention

We keep information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the service, maintain account functionality, resolve disputes, meet legal obligations, and enforce our policies. We may delete or anonymize data when it is no longer needed.

7. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect account and service data. However, no online system can guarantee absolute security, so you use the service at your own risk.

8. Children’s Privacy

ScaryGaming is not intended for children under 13. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without appropriate permission, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

9. Your Choices

• You can stop using the service at any time.
• You can disconnect Patreon access through Patreon and/or your ScaryGaming account workflow when available.
• You can contact us to request account-related help or data review requests.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we may update the effective date and publish the revised version on this page.
