Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

Smara Games ("we", "us", "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and how we handle it — in plain language, because nobody should need a law degree to understand a privacy policy.

1. Who We Are

Smara Games is based in Dublin, Ireland. For any privacy-related questions, you can reach us at example@email.com.

2. What Data We Collect

We collect only what you voluntarily provide through our forms:

  • Email address — when you subscribe to our newsletter or sign up for launch-day offers.
  • Company LinkedIn page — when you request that we contact your company about gifting the game.
  • Language preference — when you request a translation of the game.

We do not collect payment information, passwords, or sensitive personal data. We do not use tracking cookies. Your email is stored locally in your browser (via localStorage) for convenience only — this data stays on your device and is automatically cleared after 7 days.

3. Why We Collect It

  • To send you our newsletter and launch-day discount codes.
  • To contact companies on your behalf about gifting the game.
  • To gauge demand for translations in specific languages.

We will never sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes.

4. How We Store Your Data

Form submissions are stored securely. We use appropriate measures to protect your data against unauthorised access, alteration, or deletion. We retain your data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described above, or as required by law.

5. Your Rights (GDPR)

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to:

  • Access — request a copy of the data we hold about you.
  • Rectification — ask us to correct inaccurate data.
  • Erasure — ask us to delete your data ("right to be forgotten").
  • Withdraw consent — unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time.
  • Portability — request your data in a commonly used format.
  • Complaint — lodge a complaint with the Irish Data Protection Commission (dataprotection.ie).

To exercise any of these rights, email us at example@email.com.

6. Cookies & Local Storage

This website does not use cookies for tracking or advertising. We use your browser's localStorage to remember your email address across forms and your subscription status for convenience. This data is stored only on your device, is not sent to any server automatically, and expires after 7 days.

7. Third-Party Services

We may use third-party services (such as email marketing platforms) to send newsletters. These services process your email address on our behalf and are bound by their own privacy policies and GDPR obligations. We will only use GDPR-compliant providers.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
