1. Introduction
ScaryBlankPage.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is the devlog for Frosty Dog Games Ltd, and we’re committed to protecting the privacy of our readers and website visitors. This policy explains how we handle your personal data in compliance with the UK GDPR and the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025.
2. Who We Are (Data Controller)
ScaryBlankPage.com is operated by Frosty Dog Games Ltd, a private limited company registered in England and Wales.
- Company Number: 16562395
- Registered Office: 33 Whitemore Road, Guildford, Surrey, GU1 1QT, UK
- Contact: You can reach us using the contact form at the bottom of this page.
3. Data We Collect
- Comments: If you leave a comment, we collect your name, email address, and IP address for spam prevention and moderation.
- Beta Tester & Newsletter Sign-ups: If you sign up to playtest our games or subscribe for updates, we collect your name and email address.
- Contact Enquiries: If you contact us via our website, we collect your name and email address.
- Automated Data: Our website collects technical data (like your IP address and browser type) and analytics (like which pages you visit) to keep the site secure and see how it’s used.
4. Why We Collect It (Lawful Basis)
- Consent: When you sign up to our Beta Tester List or newsletter.
- Legitimate Interests: To prevent spam, keep the site secure, moderate comments, and understand how our content is performing (which helps us write better posts and make better games!).
5. Cookies
Our website uses essential cookies for functionality. Under the DUAA, we don’t require consent for “strictly necessary” cookies, but we’ll always ask for your consent for non-essential functional, analytics, or advertisement-related cookies. For the full list of cookies we (and things we embed) use and how to control them, see our Cookie Policy.
6. Who We Share Data With
We do not sell your data. We only share data with trusted third-party service providers who help us run our business, such as:
- Website Hosting & Security: HostGator (our hosting provider), Cloudflare (bot protection), and Jetpack/Akismet (Automattic) for site security, performance, and spam protection.
- Analytics: Google Analytics, to understand how people use our site.
- Spam & Bot Protection: Google reCAPTCHA.
- Cookie Consent Management: CookieYes, who help us run our cookie banner and record your preferences.
- Video Content: YouTube (Google), where we embed gameplay videos.
- Internal Systems: We store Beta Tester List, newsletter, and contact details in SuiteCRM, our own privately-hosted customer database, using n8n (an automation tool) to move new sign-ups into it. This data isn’t shared with an outside company — it stays on systems we control.
7. How Long We Keep Your Data
We keep your data only as long as we need it. Comment, beta tester, and contact details are kept until you ask us to delete them or after a period of inactivity, whichever comes first. Website analytics data is retained according to our analytics provider’s standard settings, after which it’s automatically deleted or anonymised.
8. International Transfers
If we transfer your data outside the UK (e.g., to a US-based server), we ensure it is protected by Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) or an International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA) as required by UK law.
9. Your Rights
Under UK law, you have the right to:
- Access: Request a copy of the data we hold.
- Correction: Ask us to fix any errors in your data.
- Erasure: Ask us to delete your data (the “Right to be Forgotten”).
- Restriction: Ask us to limit how we use your data in certain circumstances.
- Objection: Object to us processing your data where we rely on legitimate interests.
- Portability: Ask for your data in a portable format, where it’s technically feasible.
- Withdraw Consent: Unsubscribe from our emails at any time.
