Hemisphere Games Privacy Policy

We know that you care how information about you is used and shared. So does the GDPR! :)

By purchasing and playing our various games (So far, Osmos and Karmaka) and using our website you accept and agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. We provide this Privacy Policy to inform you of your rights and help you make informed decisions about using our services.

Here’s the exectuve TL;DR summary:

  • What personal data does Hemisphere Games gather? In our games, none. On our website, the little we need to deliver your games.
  • What do we do with that data? Only what you’d expect us to in order to provide you with service.
  • Who do we share that data with? Only physical fulfillment partners for Karmaka.
  • Will we delete your personal data on request? Yes!

In the interest of full transparency, here’s an exhaustive list of all our user data, and how we use it, broken down by game and website. Feel free to comment and/or ask us to remove your associated data of any kind.

Osmos

  • iOS version: We actually have a separate privacy policy for this you can find here.
  • Android version: This privacy policy can be found here.
  • Windows/Mac/Linux versions: If you purchased Osmos from our website, we have your name, email address, zip code, and a few other bits of info. (Not your billing info.) We use that to send you an email with your download link, and to allow you to download the game you purchased. You can ask us to delete that record if you like, but then we’ll no longer have a record of your purchase, and you won’t be able to download the game anymore. If you purchased the game from a portal such as Steam, Humble, or the Mac App Store, they have your customer info, etc. Reviews you post there are publicly visible. Steam has communities with some visible aspects as well, and we synchronize your Osmos achievements with their achievement system.

Karmaka

  • If you backed our Kickstarter for Karmaka, we have your name, email, and physical address so we were able to ship you a copy of the game. We shared that info with our fulfillment partners (Blackbox and SFC) so they could mail you your game. Kickstarter has that info as well of course.
  • If you purchased Karmaka from our website, Blackbox has your name, email, and physical address so they could mail you your game.

Website

  • We have a phpBB forum. You can register an account on that forum which allows you to post to it. Beyond that we don’t even look at that user data unless it’s to delete a user’s account if they’re a spammer. (Don’t be a spammer.) You can always delete your account.
  • Likewise, we have this WordPress blog that you can comment on by creating a WordPress account. Similar story as the forum.
  • We have a Mailchimp mailing list for Karmaka (infrequently used). Feel free to unsubscribe.
