The World is Getting Complicated

The world is getting complicated and so are websites.

We try to keep our website simple and the stuff we have to manage to a minimum, and that includes plugins and other features that handle private data.


PRIVACY POLICY

Who we are

This is Sun Labyrinth’s (“we”, “us,” our”, “Sun Labyrinth”) privacy policy. This policy denotes how we collect, manage, and use our visitors’ private data. Private data allows us to improve our customer service, marketing, and technical operations. We take care to limit the personal data we collect to that which is necessary to provide a good user experience on our site and for our customers.

Our website address is: https://www.sunlabyrinth.com.

What personal data we collect and why we collect it

Comments

We no longer host comments. Feel free to comment on our Facebook or Patreon page, message us on Twitter, or shoot us an email. We also peruse comments on Itch.io and Steam, but we don’t always get those notifications. So if you have a bug report or other issue, please try email.

We might include your comments or reviews on third party websites on our own website in the form of quotes. If you have been quoted and would prefer not to be, please let us know and we will take down the quote.


Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. No longer applicable.


Contact Forms

Please type in our email address into your mail client. We don’t use contact forms. Received emails are downloaded from our webhost then stored on a local harddrive, not in a cloud service. If you have emailed us personally identifying information and would like it deleted, we will happily honor your request unless we are required not to for some reason, such as data kept for tax purposes or when otherwise legally required.


Cookies

If you save a game in Asher, our browser-based game made in Twine, cookies may be stored. Twinery.org briefly touches on how saved game cookies are stored on this page of the Harlowe documentation here. Twine is Open Source. That means that anyone can look into Twine’s code to see how saved games work. You can see the code on Github here.. We can’t explain the nitty-gritty of cookies, storage, or what twine does; we use the tools—we’re not tool makers.

Pages with embedded third-party content or widgets, such as our Twitter and Patreon pages, may use cookies. Please refer to their respective privacy policies.


Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracing your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Analytics

We collect some site stats using Jetpack by Automattic. Please review their privacy policy here, or click here to see Jetpack features used by this site. Site stat data tells us, as an example, which pages on our site are popular or how people have heard of us (referrals).

We no longer see site stats, but if you clicked on a link to our website from a third party site, that third party site may tell us that you clicked on a link leading to our page or provide other information. Please refer to the privacy policy of the referring website.

We collect download data for some downloads offered on the site (such as demo downloads) with the Download Monitor plugin for wordpress. The Download Monitor plugin collects which browser you’re using, username (if you are logged into wordpress) and IP address (anonymized as of May 31, 2018 so that the last three digits of the address are removed).

Likewise, if you downloaded something from us, we may see stats from the third party that hosted the download. Please refer to the privacy policy of the third party service (e.g., Itch.io, Steam, phplist etc...) that hosted our download.

We collect an Audit Trail to monitor site usage, such as malicious login attempts. For more information on the Audit Trail, please refer to our Shield Security feature below.

We also no longer monitor site usage, since our site now consists of static pages.


With whom do we share your data?

We do not process payments or handle customer purchase data on our website, but instead offer customers their choice of third party sites and vendors. These third party vendors are listed below with links to their privacy policies. Sometimes we download data for bookkeeping purposes, or may use the data given to us for issuing refunds or product updates. Any data we keep related to bookkeeping is stored on an offline and/or encrypted drive, or deleted when no longer needed.

Additional information

How we protect your data

We make use of SSL, which encrypts information sent on this website. Make sure to use ‘https://’ when accessing our site for the best experience.

Mostly we protect your data by not downloading anything from third parties that we don’t need. Mailing list data is probably the highest priority for us because it’s the most reliable way for us to keep in touch with you. Social media may come and go, but email tends to stick around.


What third parties we receive data from

We may purchase ads via social media or other sites, or post social media posts, and these often allow us to see analytics. Analytics are anonymous, but may include aggregate information such as gender, age, or location. If you came to this website via an advertisment or social media post, e.g., from Pinterest or Facebook, please refer to the referring party’s privacy policies.

If you purchased something from us, we may see information such as email addresses, names, or mailing addresses. Please refer to the privacy policy of the third party vendor from which you purchased something above.


What automated decision making and/or profiling we do with user data

We do not gather or sell information profiles on our users or visitors.
