1. Who we are
GMDB provides online backend tools for GameMaker developers, including developer accounts, leaderboards, player authentication, cloud saves, remote configuration, image and avatar services, hosted game privacy policies and support tools.
For privacy enquiries, contact info@gmdb.co.uk. Business/operator name and postal address: [insert legal entity name and contact address].
2. Information we collect
Depending on the services you use, we may process developer registration and contact details, account identifiers, login and security records, project settings, API usage information, support messages, billing and subscription status, and data that developers send to GMDB through their games. This may include player account details, scores, saved game data and uploaded images.
We may also process technical information such as IP addresses, timestamps, browser information and service logs to operate and protect the platform.
3. How we use information
- Provide accounts, dashboard access and GMDB API services.
- Authenticate users, prevent abuse and maintain security.
- Process support requests and communicate about accounts.
- Administer subscriptions and usage allowances.
- Diagnose errors and improve reliability.
- Comply with applicable legal obligations.
4. Legal bases
Where UK GDPR applies and GMDB acts as a controller, processing may rely on performance of a contract, legitimate interests (such as security and service operation), legal obligations, or consent where required. The appropriate basis depends on the specific activity. [Review and document your legal bases before publication.]
5. Developer and player data
Developers using GMDB may decide what player information their games collect and why. For data processed by GMDB on a developer's instructions, the developer may be the controller and GMDB may act as processor. Each developer should provide an appropriate privacy notice for their own game. A separate data processing agreement may be required.
6. Sharing and service providers
We may use hosting, storage, email, payment and other technical providers to operate GMDB. Information is shared only as needed for those services or when legally required. [Identify actual providers, their roles and relevant international transfers before publication.]
7. Data storage and retention
We retain information only as long as necessary for the relevant service, legitimate business needs and legal obligations. Account, player, support and backup records may have different retention periods. [Insert your actual retention and deletion schedule, including backups.]
8. Security
We use technical and organisational measures intended to protect information, including access controls and secure connections. No internet service can guarantee absolute security.
9. Your privacy rights
Subject to applicable law, individuals may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict or object to processing, and to data portability. To make a request, email info@gmdb.co.uk. Requests about data controlled by an individual game developer may need to be directed to that developer.
UK users may also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
10. Cookies
GMDB may use cookies needed for account sessions and site functionality. [Describe any analytics, advertising or optional cookies actually used, and how consent is obtained where required.]
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our services or practices change. The latest version will appear on this page with an updated date.
