I'M CLANCY — PRIVACY POLICY
1. Who we are
This game and website are operated by Noam Barsheshet ("we," "us"), an individual developer based in Israel. For any privacy question or request, contact: imclancygame@gmail.com.
2. Analytics is optional
Gameplay analytics is off by default and only activates after you press ALLOW. You can turn it on or off at any time in Settings → ANONYMOUS GAMEPLAY ANALYTICS. The game works identically whether analytics is on or off, and declining has no effect on gameplay, progress or features.
3. What is collected after you consent
If you press ALLOW, we collect gameplay events: scenes started and completed, checkpoints, playtime, pauses, failures and demo completion. Each event includes the build version, a randomly generated session ID, and a randomly generated player ID.
The player ID is generated locally on your device. It is a pseudonymous identifier, not an anonymous one: because it can link multiple events from the same installation over time, it is treated as personal data under the Israeli Protection of Privacy Law. It is not derived from your hardware, network, identity or account, and we do not attempt to re-identify you from it.
4. What is not intentionally collected
We do not intentionally collect your name, email address (outside the notify-me form described in Section 8), account credentials, typed text, precise location, advertising identifiers, or device fingerprints. We do not use session recordings, screenshots or heatmaps.
5. Analytics provider and network data
We use PostHog to process gameplay analytics events and help us understand where players get stuck, in order to improve the demo. PostHog processes this data as our processor, under PostHog's standard data processing agreement, located in the United States (our project runs on PostHog's US Cloud).
As with any web service, when an event is delivered, PostHog's infrastructure may technically receive network metadata such as your IP address. We have configured our PostHog project to discard IP addresses — "Discard client IP data" is enabled, every event also sends $geoip_disable: true and $ip: null, and no person profiles are created ($process_person_profile: false). We do not instruct PostHog to use this information for any purpose beyond delivering the analytics service to us.
6. International data transfers
Because PostHog and Resend (see Section 8) process data outside Israel, in the United States, we rely on their standard data processing agreements as the safeguard for these transfers. We have not put in place bespoke Standard Contractual Clauses beyond what these providers' own agreements already provide, given the scale of this project. A copy of the relevant provider documentation is available on request at imclancygame@gmail.com.
7. Your choices and local storage
You can change your analytics choice at any time in Settings → ANONYMOUS GAMEPLAY ANALYTICS. Turning it off immediately stops new events from being sent and deletes the locally stored player ID from this browser. This does not delete events already delivered to PostHog. To request deletion of previously collected data associated with your player ID, contact us at imclancygame@gmail.com; we will act on verified requests within 30 days, subject to the provider's technical capabilities and our legal obligations.
Separately, the game stores your progress, sound settings and consent choice locally in this browser. This is essential local storage required for the game to function and does not require analytics consent. Clearing your browser's site data will remove these local settings, your save file, and your consent record.
8. Pre-registration email (notify-me page)
Providing your email on the "notify me when the demo drops" page is optional and is only submitted when you press the button. It is used solely to send you a one-time notification when the demo is released, and for no other marketing purpose unless you separately opt in elsewhere.
Your email is processed and stored on our behalf by Resend, our email delivery provider, located in the United States, acting as our processor. It is never shared with PostHog and is never attached to any analytics event.
We retain your email address until the notification has been sent, or for 12 months thereafter, unless you ask us to delete it sooner. You may request removal of your email at any time by contacting imclancygame@gmail.com. You may alternatively request removal via Discord; however, please avoid posting your email address in a public channel.
Page-view measurement on this page, if any, is limited to non-personal technical information needed to confirm the page is functioning, and does not include your email address, other form input, or a persistent identifier tied to you across visits.
9. Your rights
Subject to the Israeli Protection of Privacy Law, you may: request access to personal data we hold about you; request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data; request deletion of your personal data, subject to our legal obligations; object to certain processing; and withdraw consent to analytics at any time, with effect for the future.
To exercise these rights, contact imclancygame@gmail.com. We will respond within 30 days. We may need to verify your request before acting on it.
You may also lodge a complaint with the Israeli Privacy Protection Authority: Privacy Protection Authority, Ministry of Justice, 2 Yafo Street, Jerusalem — privacy@justice.gov.il — *9670 / 02-6467480 — www.gov.il/he/departments/the_privacy_protection_authority.
10. Children's privacy
This game is not directed to children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate consent. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact imclancygame@gmail.com and we will take steps to delete it.
11. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures, including encrypted transmission and access controls, to protect the limited data we process. No method of transmission over the internet is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision. Material changes affecting analytics or email use will be highlighted on this page.
