PRIVACY POLICY
Last updated: 26 May 2026.
Plain language, no surprises. ChampChase is a one-person studio. We only ask for what we need to send you beta access and reply to you — nothing more, and we never sell your data.
WHO WE ARE
ChampChase is an independent game studio based in Riga, Latvia (a solo developer). For anything privacy-related, email contact@champchase.net — that reaches the person who runs the whole thing.
WHAT WE COLLECT
Beta signup. Your email address, and an optional fighter name. That’s it — no credit card, no address.
Contact forms. Depending on which form you use: your name, email, and message, plus the extra fields that form asks for (for press: outlet, deadline, angle; for investors: company, LinkedIn; for bug reports: device, browser, and what went wrong). You choose what to type.
Analytics. We use Plausible, a privacy-friendly analytics tool. It’s cookieless and counts visits in aggregate (pages viewed, rough country, device type, where you came from). It does not use cookies, does not track you across other sites, and never collects personal data.
Your browser’s localStorage. We store small things in your own browser to make the site work — like your beta card and a marker for the “what’s new since you were last here” feed. This stays on your device; it isn’t sent to us.
WHY (LAWFUL BASIS)
When you join the beta or send us a message, we use your details for that purpose — on the basis of your consent (submitting the form) and our legitimate interest in replying to you and running the site. Aggregate, cookieless analytics also rests on legitimate interest.
HOW WE USE IT
To email you about beta access and launch, to reply to what you send us, and to understand roughly how the site is doing. We don’t sell or rent your data, and we don’t use it for advertising.
WHO ELSE TOUCHES IT
A few trusted services help run ChampChase: our web host (WebHostingWorld) stores form submissions and sends our email; Plausible provides cookieless analytics; Netlify serves images and static assets; and if you join the beta, Apple TestFlight handles app distribution. We only share what each needs to do its job.
HOW LONG WE KEEP IT
Only as long as we need it — your beta email until launch (or until you ask us to remove it), and contact messages long enough to handle and follow up. Ask us to delete your data anytime and we will.
YOUR RIGHTS
Under the GDPR you can ask to see your data, correct it, delete it, or withdraw consent at any time — just email contact@champchase.net. You also have the right to complain to a supervisory authority; in Latvia that’s the Data State Inspectorate (Datu valsts inspekcija, dvi.gov.lv).
COOKIES
We don’t use tracking cookies. Our analytics is cookieless, and the localStorage above is purely functional.
CHANGES
If this policy changes, we’ll update the date at the top. Questions? contact@champchase.net.
