Privacy policy
Last updated: 2026-04-24
SIA HYPERCELL is a company registered in Latvia (EU). This page explains what personal data we collect through this website and what we do with it.
What we collect
From form submissions. When you submit the form on /contact, you share: your name, email address, studio name, studio location, team size, team information, and any gameplay-video link you include. That's it.
From browsing. We use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages land
and which don't. Google records standard metrics — page views, referring page, device
and browser type, approximate country derived from IP — and sets two first-party cookies
(_ga and _ga_PFNTGW6FJ5) to count returning visits. IP addresses
are used to derive location and then discarded by Google. We do not run advertising
trackers, and analytics data is never linked back to a form submission.
Why we collect it
Form data is used to evaluate your game submission and reply to you. Analytics helps us see how the site is performing — we only look at aggregate numbers, never individual visitors.
Legal basis
For submissions, the legal basis is your consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)) — you share the information voluntarily. For analytics, we rely on legitimate interest (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)) to measure aggregate site usage. You can withdraw consent on your submission at any time — see Your rights below. You can opt out of Google Analytics across the web with Google's opt-out browser add-on.
Who processes it with us
Three parties handle your data:
- Netlify, Inc. (USA) hosts our form submissions. Transfers to Netlify rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, under which Netlify is certified.
- Google Ireland Limited processes analytics data. Onward transfers to Google LLC (USA) rely on the same EU–US Data Privacy Framework, under which Google is certified.
- Inside SIA HYPERCELL, the producers who evaluate new games read the submissions.
We do not sell your data and we do not share it with anyone else.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you can ask us to:
- show you what we have about you (access);
- correct anything that's wrong (rectification);
- delete your submission (erasure);
- pause or limit what we do with it (restriction, objection);
- hand back a machine-readable copy (portability).
To exercise any of these, send us the request through our contact form and mention "privacy request" in your message. We'll respond within one month.
If you believe we've mishandled your data, you can also lodge a complaint with the Latvian Data Protection Authority (Datu valsts inspekcija).
Changes to this page
If we change how we handle data, we'll update this page and bump the "Last updated" date at the top.
