Privacy Policy

Who we are

Krawler Studios ("we," "us," or "our") operates krawlerstudios.com and develops the game Grave Danger. This policy explains what data the website and the game capture, how we use, share, and retain it, and the choices you have.

How data is captured

Website. We do not run accounts, newsletters, or contact forms, and we do not use analytics or advertising trackers. We capture data in two ways:

• Email you send us. The Contact us button opens your own email app. We only receive what you choose to send, such as your name, email address, and message.
• Automatic technical data. Our hosting provider (Vercel) logs basic request data such as IP address, browser type, device info, and pages visited.

Grave Danger (PC). The game has no account system of ours and does not send analytics or telemetry to us. It handles data only to run online multiplayer:

• Platform account info. When you play online, the game reads your Steam or Epic Online Services (EOS) account ID and display name so you can host, find, and join lobbies and so other players can see who you are.
• Connection data. Multiplayer uses Steam and EOS networking, so your IP address and connection details are processed by those services and, for peer-to-peer play, exchanged with the other players in your session.
• Gameplay data. In-session state such as your position, actions, inventory, and match results is synchronized to the other players in your match.
• Voice chat. If you have a microphone and voice enabled, your voice is captured and streamed live to the other players in your session (proximity voice chat). It is not recorded or stored by us.
• Speech recognition. The game listens to your microphone to recognize spoken ghost names as a gameplay mechanic. This runs entirely on your device using an offline model (VOSK). The audio is not uploaded, saved, or shared, and only the recognized game word is used.

The game does not collect your real name, email address, payment details, or precise location.

How data is used

We use data only to:

• Respond to messages you send us
• Operate, maintain, and protect the website
• Run Grave Danger: authenticate you with Steam or EOS, create and join lobbies, synchronize matches, and carry voice chat
• Prevent abuse and fix technical problems

We do not sell your personal information, use it for advertising, or build marketing profiles.

How data is shared

We do not sell or rent your data. It is shared only as follows:

• Other players. Your display name, in-game actions, and live voice are visible to players in your session. Do not say anything in voice chat you would not want other players to hear.
• Platform providers. Valve (Steam) and Epic Games (EOS) process account, matchmaking, and networking data under their own privacy policies.
• Hosting. Vercel processes technical data to serve this website under its own privacy policy.
• Legal reasons. If required by law or to protect our rights and the safety of others.

How long we keep data

• Emails are kept only as long as needed to respond and follow up, generally no more than 12 months unless we have an ongoing relationship or a legal reason to keep them.
• Game session and voice data exist only while you are in a session. We do not store voice audio, and match data is discarded when the session ends.
• Account and matchmaking data held by Steam and EOS, and website logsheld by Vercel, are kept according to those providers' own retention policies.

Your choices and rights

You can ask us to access, correct, or delete any personal information we hold about you by emailing the address below. You can turn off your microphone or voice chat in the game, or play offline, to avoid voice and online data. To manage data held by Steam or Epic, use their account tools. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the GDPR or CCPA.

Cookies and tracking

This site does not use advertising cookies or third party marketing trackers. Our host may use cookies or similar technology needed for security, performance, or basic site operation. If we add analytics to the site or game, we will update this policy first.

Children

Our website and games are not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Changes

We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will change when we do.
