Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information Crimson Viking Games ("we", "us") and our games collect, how it's used, and the choices you have. It covers our games (Hillbilly Racing and Stygian Dungeon: Crypts of Chaos) and this website.
The short version: we don't collect your personal information. Our games keep your settings and progress on your own PC. When you play online, the store you bought the game from (Steam or the Epic Games Store) handles your account, and other players in your game see your player name. We don't use analytics, advertising or tracking, and we never sell data.
Who we are
Crimson Viking Games is an independent game studio. For anything about this policy or your information, email crimsonvikinggames@gmail.com.
Information stored on your PC
Our games save these things on your own computer so they're there next time you play. They aren't sent to us.
- Your settings, such as volume, controls and graphics quality.
- Your progress, such as races won, unlocked items (for example hats in Hillbilly Racing) and achievement progress.
- The player name you type in for multiplayer games.
To remove it, uninstall the game and delete its folder in %APPDATA% (for example %APPDATA%\Hillbilly Racing).
Playing online
Some of our games, including Hillbilly Racing, let you play with other people.
- Other players see your player name, your character's appearance (such as your hat and shirt) and what you do in the game.
- On a local network (LAN), the games connect directly between computers, so the host's computer receives your computer's network (IP) address, as with any online connection. Nothing is stored by us.
- Through Steam, Valve handles lobbies, invites, friend lists, achievements and the connection between players, using your Steam account (such as your Steam name and Steam ID). Valve's use of that information is covered by the Steam Privacy Policy.
- Through the Epic Games Store, Epic Games handles sign-in, lobbies, invites, friend lists, achievements and the connection between players using Epic Online Services. Depending on what you use, this can include your Epic account ID and display name, an ID for you in our game, your friends list (to send invites) and your network address. Epic's use of that information is covered by the Epic Games Privacy Policy.
We don't receive or keep copies of your account details, friends lists or connection information from Steam or Epic, beyond what the game needs while you're playing.
Buying our games
Purchases are handled by the store you buy from (Steam or the Epic Games Store). We don't see or store your payment details. The store may share sales reports with us, which don't identify you personally.
What we don't do
- No analytics or tracking in our games.
- No advertising, and no advertising IDs.
- No selling or renting of anyone's information.
- No cookies on this website.
This website
This website is a set of plain pages with no cookies, forms, analytics or tracking. Like any website, the hosting provider may briefly record technical details such as your IP address in its server logs to keep the site secure and running. If you email us, we use your email address only to reply to you, and delete the conversation when it's no longer needed.
Children
We don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we'll delete it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the UK GDPR, the EU GDPR or Californian law), you may have the right to ask what personal information we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, and to complain to your data protection authority. As we don't collect personal information, we usually won't hold any, but you can always ask us at crimsonvikinggames@gmail.com. For information held by Steam or Epic Games, contact them through their own privacy pages above.
Changes to this policy
If our games start handling information differently, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
