Privacy policy

1. Who we are

Amusement Factory is made and published by Corbata Games, based in the Netherlands. Where this policy says "we" or "us", that is who it means. For anything covered by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Corbata Games is the data controller.

Questions about privacy, or a request about your data, go to info@corbata.games. A real person reads it.

2. The game

The game does not collect, store or transmit any personal data. It has no sign-in, no player profile, no leaderboards, no chat, no advertising, no in-app purchases, no analytics or crash-reporting library, and no third-party SDK of any kind. It does not ask for your location, your camera, your microphone, your photos, your contacts or your calendar, and it does not read your device's advertising identifier.

The game also makes no network connections. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is downloaded, and there is no server behind it. Play it on a plane if you like.

What is stored on your device

The game writes two kinds of file, and both stay on the device you are playing on:

• Saved games. Each park you save is one file describing that park - its money, its date, its rides, its roads, its guests and its staff. It is a description of a made-up theme park and contains nothing about you. You choose the park's name, and that is the only text in it that you write.
• Settings. Your preferences - volume, graphics and similar - are kept in the operating system's ordinary place for game settings.

Where those files live depends on the platform:

You can delete them at any time by deleting the files, or by deleting the game - removing the app removes everything it ever wrote. We have no copy, because it never left your device.

3. The App Store, Steam and other stores

We sell the game through stores we do not run, and each of them handles your data under its own privacy policy - not this one. When you buy, download or update the game, the store knows about it. We never see your payment details, your address or your account.

What a store may pass on to us is aggregated and anonymous: how many copies sold in a country, how many devices of a given model, how many crashes of a given kind. It arrives as counts and charts, and there is no way for us to work back from it to a person. On Apple platforms this is the App Analytics you choose to share or not share in Settings → Privacy & Security → Analytics & Improvements; crash reports reach us only if you have that switched on, and they describe the crash, not you.

For what the stores themselves do, see Apple's privacy policy and Valve's privacy policy for Steam .

4. Children

Amusement Factory is suitable for all ages and is safe for children by construction: it collects no data from anybody, of any age, so there is nothing about a child for us to gather, profile or pass on. There is no chat, no user-generated content shared with anyone else, no advertising and no link out of the game to anywhere. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 16 - or under any age - because we do not collect personal data in the game at all.

5. This website

The website is a separate thing from the game, and it is the only place where anything is measured at all. Everything the site needs to draw itself - its stylesheets, its scripts, its fonts and its pictures - is served from this domain, so simply reading a page contacts no advertising network, no font service and no content delivery network.

Our own visitor counter

To know whether anybody is reading, the site loads a small counter of our own from corbacount.com, which we run ourselves. No third party is involved and the figures are never sold, shared or used for advertising. For each page view it records:

That identifier is a random number. It is not linked to your name, your email or any account, we make no attempt to work out who you are, and we do not follow you to any other website. Visit records are kept for at most 24 months and then deleted; the totals we keep after that are counts with nobody in them.

Nothing else is embedded

There is no advertising, no social media widget, no comment system, no embedded video and no third-party analytics anywhere on the site. The counter above is the only request that leaves this domain. If a video or a store widget is ever added, this page says so before it goes up.

If you email us

Mail sent to info@corbata.games reaches an ordinary mailbox. We keep what you send for as long as it takes to answer you and to keep a sensible record of the conversation, and we use it for nothing else - no newsletter, no mailing list, and it is never passed on.

6. Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to ask what personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected, to have it erased, to have its processing restricted, to receive a copy of it, and to object to our using it. Where we rely on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time.

In practice there is very little to ask about: the game holds nothing at all, so those rights have effect only on the website's visit records and on any email you have sent us. Our legal basis for the visit records is our legitimate interest in knowing whether the site is being read and whether it is working, and for email it is answering the question you asked.

To exercise any of these, write to info@corbata.games. We answer within one month. If you are not satisfied with the answer, you may complain to your national data protection authority - in the Netherlands that is the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens .

If you are in California, the same applies: we do not sell or share personal information, we do not use it for cross-context behavioural advertising, and we collect none of it in the game.
