Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 27, 2026
Not Quite There Studio, Inc. ("we," "us," or "our") provides this notice to explain how we handle personal information through notquitethere.studio and correspondence with our studio.
This policy covers our current informational website and related communications. Our games are not yet launched. We will provide the relevant privacy disclosures before introducing games or new data-processing features.
1. Information We Process
The information we process depends on your interaction with us:
- Correspondence: your email address, any name you provide, message contents, attachments, and associated email metadata.
- Website requests: your IP address, requested URL, request time, browser and operating-system information, referring page, and security or error information needed to deliver and protect the website.
We use this information to answer inquiries, manage business communications, serve website pages, investigate technical problems and abuse, and meet legal obligations. Our website host, Cloudflare, gives us aggregate visit statistics through Cloudflare Web Analytics; it does not use cookies or other client-side storage, does not fingerprint visitors, and discards IP addresses at its nearest data center. We do not use any other analytics tools.
2. Sources of Information
We receive information when you email us and when your browser requests website content. Our website and email providers process information needed to deliver those services, even where we do not retain a separate copy.
Providing information in correspondence is voluntary, but we may need contact details and sufficient context to respond. No account is required to browse the website.
3. Children and Teenagers
The website is intended for people aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly solicit personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information in circumstances not permitted by law, contact hello@notquitethere.studio so we can investigate and arrange deletion.
Where a higher age threshold or parental authorization applies to consent-based processing, we obtain the required authorization or do not undertake that processing.
4. Recipients of Information
We use Cloudflare for website infrastructure, delivery, and security. Providers supporting email delivery, storage, and security also process information necessary for their services. Access is limited to people and providers who need it for the purposes in this policy, with appropriate protections for processing on our behalf.
Relevant information may also be disclosed to professional advisers; in response to legal obligations or to protect rights and security; or during a proposed acquisition, merger, or business-asset transfer, subject to applicable safeguards.
We do not sell personal information or share website information for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not send website visitor information to game advertising networks.
Planned advertising partners for future games. Our planned provider list includes Chartboost, Facebook / Meta, InMobi, AdColony, AdMob / Google, Unity Ads, Vungle, Mobvista / Mintegral, HyprMX, AppLovin, Tapjoy, and Pangle / TikTok.
This is a prospective list, not a statement that these companies currently receive information from our website. The providers used will depend on the game, platform, region, and applicable privacy choices. Before a game begins processing information through advertising partners, we will identify the active providers, explain the information involved, provide links to their relevant privacy notices, and offer any required consent or opt-out controls.
5. Cookies and Related Technologies
We do not use advertising trackers on the website. Infrastructure providers may use necessary cookies or similar technologies to protect availability and security, such as detecting malicious traffic or remembering security checks.
These technologies are not used by us to build advertising profiles.
6. Browser Privacy Controls
You can remove or block cookies through your browser settings. Blocking necessary technologies may affect website access.
Our no-tracking approach applies whether or not your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signals. There is no website sale or advertising-sharing activity to opt out of under this policy. Before changing these practices, we will update the notice and provide any required choices.
7. Processing Locations
We are a U.S. company. Our providers may process information in the United States and other countries with different data protection laws.
Where an international transfer requires safeguards, we arrange an appropriate mechanism, such as an applicable adequacy decision or approved standard contractual clauses. Contact us for details and, where applicable, a copy of relevant safeguards, subject to necessary confidentiality protections.
8. Retention of Information
We determine how long information is needed by considering whether an inquiry requires further action, whether technical records are still needed to operate or protect the website, and whether records remain necessary for legal obligations, enforcing agreements, preventing abuse, or addressing a dispute.
When those reasons end, we delete the information or make it anonymous, including through aggregation that no longer identifies you. Valid deletion requests may require earlier removal, subject to legal exceptions. Residual backup copies remain restricted from ordinary use until removal through backup rotation; applicable deletions are reapplied following restoration.
9. Protecting Information
We use safeguards proportionate to the information and risks, restrict access to people who need it, and protect access to business systems. The website uses HTTPS. Absolute security cannot be guaranteed for any internet service or storage system.
10. Website Features
The current website provides studio information and email contact links. Emailing us does not subscribe you to a marketing list.
Future accounts, cloud saves, leaderboards, purchases, subscriptions, notifications, and in-game advertising will be covered by appropriate disclosures before those features begin processing information.
11. External Services
Cloudflare explains its processing roles and practices in its Privacy Policy. External websites you visit through links have their own notices. Where providers independently determine their processing purposes, their notices explain those activities and retention practices; processing on our behalf remains subject to our obligations.
12. Legal Bases and Your Rights
Where applicable law requires a legal basis, website delivery, security, and ordinary correspondence rely on our legitimate interests in maintaining a secure website and answering inquiries, balanced against your rights. Processing necessary for a contract with you or steps you request before entering one relies on contractual necessity. Required legal processing relies on legal obligations. Where we request consent, you can withdraw it without affecting earlier lawful processing.
Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, or a portable copy of information; restrict or object to processing; withdraw consent; and complain to your data protection authority. We do not make solely automated decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects on website visitors.
Send requests to hello@notquitethere.studio. We may need proportionate identity verification or evidence of an agent's authority. We aim to respond within 30 days of receipt and meet applicable legal deadlines. If we decline a request, we explain why and any available appeal process. Appeals can be sent to the same address. We do not penalize people for exercising applicable privacy rights.
We publish revisions on this page and update the date above. Material changes receive a prominent website notice and any further notice or consent required by law.
