Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 13, 2026

Who we are

This website promotes Outbreak Empire, a mobile game in development. The website and the waitlist are run by the independent developer of Outbreak Empire (“we”, “us”), who is based in Israel and is responsible for your personal data. You can reach us by sending a direct message on our Discord server.

The short version

• The website itself sets no cookies and uses no analytics, ads or tracking.
• If you join the waitlist, we keep your email address (and anything optional you add) only to tell you about the game.
• We never sell your data or share it for advertising.
• You can unsubscribe or ask us to delete your data at any time.

What we collect and why

Waitlist. When you join the waitlist through our Google Form we receive:

• your email address (required);
• your age group (required), so we can check that you are old enough to join;
• your preferred language (English or Hebrew);
• your Discord username, if you choose to give it, so we can recognise you on our Discord server and invite you to closed-test channels there;
• how you heard about us, if you choose to tell us.

We use this to email you about the closed test, the launch and major news about the game, in your language, and to understand where our players come from. We rely on your consent. You are not legally required to give us this information, but without an email address we cannot add you to the waitlist.

Messages. If you write to us, we use your message and contact details only to answer you.

Website visits. We do not collect anything about your visit ourselves. One outside service sees basic technical data (such as your IP address and browser) when you load the site:

• GitHub Pages, which hosts the site and logs visitor IP addresses for security. See the GitHub Privacy Statement.

Who processes your data

The waitlist form and its responses are stored with Google (Google Forms), under Google's own terms and privacy policy. Emails to the waitlist are sent from our own Gmail mailbox, also provided by Google, where your replies are kept too. We do not give your data to anyone else, unless the law requires it.

We work from Israel, which the European Commission and the UK recognise as giving personal data adequate protection. Google and GitHub may store data on servers in the United States and other countries. They protect transfers out of the EU, the UK and Israel with safeguards such as the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses, as their policies describe. We make no automated decisions about you and do no profiling.

How long we keep it

We keep waitlist data until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it, and no longer than 12 months after the game launches. If we stop developing the game, we delete it within 30 days.

Your rights

Wherever you live, you can ask us to:

• show you the data we hold about you;
• correct it;
• delete it;
• stop emailing you: reply “unsubscribe” to any email we send, or write to us. We remove you at once, and always within 5 business days;
• restrict or object to how we use your data;
• give you your data in a portable format.

Withdrawing consent does not affect anything we did before. Send us a direct message on our Discord server and we will answer within 30 days. If you are not happy with our answer, you can complain to your local data protection authority, for example the Privacy Protection Authority in Israel, your EU supervisory authority, or the ICO in the UK.

If you live in California or another US state with a privacy law: we do not sell or share personal information, and we do not use it for targeted advertising.

Do Not Track

We do not track visitors over time or across websites, so we treat every visitor the same whether or not their browser sends a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal. This website lets no third party collect information about your activity across other websites.

Age

The waitlist is for people aged 16 or older. If you are younger, please do not sign up. If we learn that someone under 16 has joined, we will delete their data.

Security

Waitlist answers are kept only in the form's Google account, which is protected with two-step verification and is not shared. We send waitlist emails so that no one can see other people's addresses.

Cookies

The website sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device. The Google Form is on Google's site, where Google's own cookie rules apply.

Links to other sites

Our links to Discord, X, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit and Google Forms take you to services we do not control. Their own privacy policies apply there.

Changes

If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top. If a change matters for how we use your email, we will tell the waitlist before it takes effect.
