Privacy Policy
Who we are
Samurai Warlords ("we", "us") runs samuraiwarlords.com, the home of the Samurai Warlords games, published by The Katana Connection. This policy covers this website only. Our games and the Samurai Warlords app at app.samuraiwarlords.com are covered by our main privacy policy.
What we collect
- Analytics: Google Analytics records the pages you visit, roughly where you are (country and city), your device and browser type, how you found us, and which store buttons you tap. We use this to see which games people come for and to improve the site. When analytics is off, no analytics code loads and no analytics cookies are set. See When analytics runs.
- If you join the Clan email list: your email address, when you signed up and confirmed, and, as a record of your consent, the page you signed up on and your IP address at that moment. We email you once to confirm, and you're only on the list after you click that link. Every email we send has an unsubscribe link.
- Your cookie choice is saved in your own browser (local storage), so we don't ask on every visit. It never leaves your device.
- Server logs: like every website, our hosting and security provider processes your IP address and the pages you request, so it can deliver the site and protect it from abuse.
When analytics runs
- In the EU, the EEA, the UK and Switzerland: only if you choose Accept. Until then nothing loads. Our legal basis is your consent.
- Everywhere else: analytics is on when you arrive, and you can switch it off at any time with Cookie settings at the bottom of every page. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as a Decline.
- How we tell: your browser checks your device's time zone, and that check never leaves your device. If it can't tell, it asks first. Google also keeps analytics cookies off for visitors from those countries unless they have accepted.
- Never for advertising: we have turned off Google's advertising features (Google signals and ad personalisation), so this data isn't used to show you ads, here or anywhere else.
Cookies
The only cookies this site sets are Google Analytics cookies (named _ga and _ga_…), and only while analytics is on. Choosing Decline in Cookie settings switches analytics off and deletes these cookies. You can change your mind at any time.
Who we share it with
We don't sell your personal data, and we don't use it for ad targeting. We share it only with the services that run the site for us: Google for analytics; PUMPIT, our own email platform, and SendGrid, which delivers its emails, for the Clan list; and our hosting provider. They process it on our behalf under contract.
How long we keep it
Google Analytics data is kept for no longer than 14 months. Your email stays on the Clan list until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.
Where it's processed
Our providers may process data in Singapore, the United States and the European Union. Where data leaves your country, we rely on Standard Contractual Clauses or another lawful transfer mechanism.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete your data, object to how we use it, or take it elsewhere. You can switch analytics off or withdraw your consent at any time with Cookie settings, and leave the email list with the unsubscribe link. Write to privacy@samuraiwarlords.wiki and we'll reply within 30 days (45 days for California requests). This policy is governed by the laws of Singapore, including the Personal Data Protection Act 2012, and we also follow the GDPR, the UK GDPR and the CCPA/CPRA where they apply.
Children
The Clan email list is for people aged 16 and over, and we don't knowingly collect data from children. If you think a child has signed up, contact us and we'll remove them.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update it here with a new date.
