2. Data we may process
The exact data depends on which features you use. GameSloth may process:
- Account data: email address, username, password hash, account identifier and session information.
- Social features: friend relationships, squad membership, invitations, owner/member roles and Sync-room status.
- App and device data: app version, operating system, capture settings, feature flags, error details and limited diagnostics needed to keep the service working.
- Clips and Moments: clip names, file metadata, timestamps and the files you deliberately transfer through Sloth Sync. Gameplay files remain local by default.
- Billing data: future subscription plan, Stripe customer ID, invoice status and payment events. GameSloth does not receive or store full card details.
- Support data: messages, attachments and troubleshooting information you send to us.
- Website analytics: aggregated page-view information through Vercel Web Analytics. It does not use third-party cookies by default.
3. Why we use this data
- To create and secure accounts and sessions.
- To operate friends, squads, Sloth Sync and shared Moments.
- To provide downloads, updates, support and service notices.
- To process and administer subscriptions after live billing launches.
- To detect abuse, investigate errors and protect users and infrastructure.
- To understand aggregated website usage and improve the product.
4. Legal bases
Depending on the activity, processing is based on performing the agreement with you, complying with legal obligations, your consent, or GameSloth's legitimate interests in securing, maintaining and improving the service. Where consent is required, you can withdraw it for future processing.
5. Local clips and Sloth Sync
Replay clips are stored on your PC by default. GameSloth does not automatically publish your gameplay. When you intentionally start or join a Sloth Sync workflow, participating devices exchange the files and metadata required to build the shared Moment. Squad members should understand that their selected clip may be transferred to the host.
6. Service providers
GameSloth may use providers including Render and PostgreSQL for backend and account infrastructure, GitHub for software releases, Vercel for website hosting and anonymous analytics, and Stripe for future payment processing. These providers process data under their own terms and data-protection commitments.
7. International transfers
Some providers may process data outside the European Economic Area. Where required, GameSloth will rely on an adequacy decision, standard contractual clauses or another lawful transfer mechanism.
8. Retention
We keep data only for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described above, legal obligations, dispute handling and security. Account and social data is normally retained while your account remains active. Support records and billing records may be retained longer when required for administration, fraud prevention or tax obligations. Local clip files remain under your control until you delete them.
9. Your rights
Depending on the circumstances, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing, and to receive portable data. You may also withdraw consent and complain to the Dutch Data Protection Authority. Requests can be sent to the support email above. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request.
10. Security
GameSloth uses reasonable technical and organisational measures intended to protect data. No internet or software system can be guaranteed completely secure. Keep your login details private and report suspected security issues through the support page.
11. Children
GameSloth is not designed to knowingly collect personal data from children who cannot legally agree to the service without parental or guardian involvement. Contact us if you believe a child has provided data without the required permission.
12. Changes
This policy may be updated as the Closed Alpha, payment flow and infrastructure change. Material changes will be communicated through the website, app or account email where appropriate.
