Privacy Policy

What the workshop collects — and what it doesn't.

Effective: April 2026  |  GOBLINTEK

GOBLINTEK is a solo indie game studio run by one person in Canada. This page explains what personal information may be collected through this website, why, and how it's handled. No legalese traps. No boilerplate walls. Just a straight answer.

Short version: If you sign up for the dispatch list, we collect your email address to send you updates. That's pretty much it. We don't sell your data, and we won't spam you.


📦 What Gets Collected

This site may collect the following:

  • Email address — only if you choose to sign up for the dispatch list (devlog posts, game updates, release news). Entirely optional. No email, no problem.
  • Basic server/access logs — if you visit the site, the web server may record standard technical data like your IP address, browser type, and which pages were requested. This is typical of any web server and isn't linked to your identity.

This site does not use tracking pixels, behavioural advertising, or third-party analytics scripts that follow you around the web. We don't run ads.


Why It's Collected

  • Email address: To send you the updates you asked for — devlog dispatches, new game announcements, release milestones.
  • Server logs: For basic security monitoring and debugging. These are not used for marketing.

You won't receive anything you didn't sign up for. Signing up for the dispatch list means you've given explicit consent to receive those updates — consistent with Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL).


📬 How It's Used

Your email is used only to send you GOBLINTEK updates. It won't be sold, rented, traded, or shared with third parties for their own marketing purposes. Ever.

To actually send emails, we use a third-party email service provider (such as Buttondown, Mailchimp, or similar). That means your email address lives on their servers, subject to their own privacy policies. We'll keep this section updated if the service changes.

Current email service: [update this when you set one up]


🚪 Unsubscribing

Every email sent through the dispatch list includes an unsubscribe link at the bottom. Click it and you're off the list immediately — no hoops, no "are you sure?" guilt trip.

You can also send an unsubscribe request directly to hello@goblintek.dev and it'll be handled promptly.


🔧 Your Rights (Canada / General)

If you're in Canada, you have rights under PIPEDA and CASL including the right to access the personal information held about you and to request its correction or deletion. Since the only data collected is your email address, this is straightforward: just send a message and it'll be sorted out.

If you're elsewhere in the world (EU, UK, etc.), similar principles apply — this site tries to handle data responsibly regardless of jurisdiction.

📅 Updates to This Policy

This policy may be updated from time to time — for example, when an email service is added or changed, or if new features are introduced to the site. Changes will be reflected here with an updated effective date. Nothing sneaky.

If you have questions about any changes, you know where to find us.
