If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or regions with similar privacy laws, you may have rights regarding your personal data.

What Data We Store
Depending on the game and features used, stored information may include:
- anonymous identifiers
- gameplay progression
- uploaded custom levels
- account-related information
- telemetry events
- crash logs
We aim to minimize collected information wherever possible.
Legal Basis for Processing
We process personal data on the following legal bases under Article 6 GDPR:
- Contract performance (Art. 6(1)(b)): account creation, cloud saves, and other features you actively request
- Legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f)): crash logs and telemetry used to maintain, secure, and improve our games
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): any optional feature that explicitly asks for your agreement before collecting data
Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Cookies & Third-Party Services
This website does not use cookies, analytics, or third-party trackers.
Individual games may use third-party services (for example, platform storefronts, cloud save providers, or crash-reporting tools). Where applicable, this is disclosed in the game-specific privacy policy linked from each game's legal page.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described above:
- account and gameplay data: for as long as your account remains active, plus a limited period afterward to allow recovery
- crash logs and telemetry: typically retained for up to 12 months for debugging and stability analysis
- data subject to a legal deletion request: removed within the response time stated below, unless a legal obligation requires longer retention
Requesting Data Deletion
To request deletion of your data, contact:
contact@barkhallastudios.com
Please include:
- your account identifier if applicable
- the game title
- enough information to help identify your account safely
Response Time
We aim to respond to privacy-related requests within 30 days where legally required.
Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect stored data.
However, no online service can guarantee absolute security.
Right to Lodge a Complaint
If you believe our processing of your personal data infringes the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the EU member state of your habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement.
As we are established in Hamburg, Germany, you may also contact our lead supervisory authority directly:
