Privacy

newold.games is run by Jorden Chamid in the Netherlands. It carries no advertising and no third-party tracking of any kind.

If you never sign up

Nothing about you is stored. There are no analytics scripts, no advertising pixels and no third-party cookies. All styling, scripts, icons and images are served from this domain, so simply reading the site does not contact anyone else. A single session cookie is set to make the site work; it holds no personal data.

The site does count how often each game page is viewed. That counter is a single number per game and is not connected to you, your account or your IP address.

If you create an account

Then the following is stored:

• Your display name and email address - so you can sign in and so your submissions can be attributed.
• Your password - stored only as a one-way hash. It cannot be read, by me or by anyone else.
• Your votes - which classics and alternatives you voted for, so each can be counted once.
• Alternatives you submit - shown publicly alongside the game, attributed to your display name.
• The IP address you signed in from, with a timestamp - kept to investigate abuse of the voting and submission features.
• A "keep me signed in" token, if you tick that box - a random value in a cookie, valid for 30 days.

What is never done with it

Your data is not sold, rented, shared or handed to advertisers, and there is no mailing list. It is used only to run the features described above.

How long it is kept

Account data is kept for as long as the account exists. Sign-in IP records are kept for 12 months and then deleted. If you delete your account, your account data and IP records go with it; alternatives you submitted stay on the site but are no longer attributed to you.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you can ask for a copy of your data, ask for it to be corrected, or ask for it to be deleted. Email info@corbata.nl and it will be handled within 30 days. If you are not happy with how a request was dealt with, you can complain to the Dutch data protection authority, the Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens.

Links to other sites

Every alternative links out to a shop or download page - Steam, GOG, Nintendo, the App Store and so on. Those are plain links with no affiliate code, and this site earns nothing from them. Once you follow one you are on someone else's site, under their privacy policy, not this one.
