Privacy Policy
Last updated: June 5, 2026 · Version 1.0
This policy explains what data is collected when you visit this site or take part in the private test of the game Blackout: Reborn, developed by Spirit Forge (sole proprietorship, France).
1. Who is responsible
The data controller is Spirit Forge (sole proprietorship, France). Contact: [email protected].
2. Data we collect
On this site (blackout-reborn.com)
- Email address and preferred platform (Android / iPhone), only if you sign up to the waitlist.
- No advertising cookies, no tracking. The form uses an anti-bot check (Cloudflare Turnstile) that does not profile users.
In the game
The game requires no account, email, or name. Your device is identified by an automatically generated technical identifier (device-id). We collect:
- Game data: in-game resources and progress, in-game actions, statistics needed for the game to function.
- Usage & diagnostic data: anonymized usage statistics and crash reports (via Google Firebase services), to understand how the game is used and fix bugs.
- Server logs: technical data (timestamps, technical identifier, events) needed for server operation and security.
3. Why (purposes) and legal basis
| Data | Purpose | Legal basis |
|---|---|---|
| Waitlist email | Notify you when the beta opens | Consent |
| Game data | Operate the game | Legitimate interest / service delivery |
| Usage & diagnostic | Improve the game, fix bugs | Legitimate interest |
| Server logs | Operation, security, anti-abuse | Legitimate interest |
4. Third-party providers (processors)
Some data is processed by third-party services, solely for the purposes above:
- Cloudflare — site hosting, anti-bot protection, waitlist storage.
- Google (Firebase Analytics & Crashlytics) — usage statistics and crash reports.
- Hetzner — game server hosting (Germany, EU).
Some of these providers (notably Google) may process data outside the EU, under appropriate contractual safeguards.
5. Retention
- Waitlist email: until you unsubscribe or the project ends.
- Game data: for the duration of the test, deleted at the end of the project or on request.
- Server logs: kept for a limited period for security and diagnostics.
6. Your rights
Under the GDPR, you have the right to access, rectify, erase, object to, and port your data. Since the game uses no account, identification relies on your technical identifier: include it in your request. Email [email protected]. You may also lodge a complaint with the French authority CNIL (cnil.fr).
7. Minors
Blackout: Reborn is intended for people aged 15 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 15.
8. Changes
This policy may change. The last-updated date appears at the top. For significant changes, we will notify waitlist subscribers.
