Hosting and server logs
The site is hosted on GitLab Pages. When you open a page, your browser sends a request to GitLab’s servers, which necessarily receive technical data such as your IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time of the request. GitLab and its infrastructure providers may log this data to deliver the site and keep it secure. We do not use these logs to identify or profile visitors. GitLab processes this data under its own privacy statement, and it may be processed in the United States.
Legal basis: our legitimate interest in operating a secure, working website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
When you email us
If you write to hello@noobgameslab.com, we receive your email address, your name if you include it, and the contents of your message. We use this only to read and reply to you. We keep the correspondence for as long as needed for that conversation and any follow-up, and delete it on request unless we are legally required to keep it. Our email provider processes these messages on our behalf.
Legal basis: our legitimate interest in answering your message, or steps you ask us to take before entering into an agreement (Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR).
Links to other sites
Blog posts link to other websites such as Reddit, Steam and itch.io. The Share on X button is a plain link: nothing is sent to X unless you click it. Once you follow a link, the other site’s privacy policy applies.

This site is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, including under the GDPR and UK GDPR, you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to restrict or object to its processing, and to data portability. To use these rights, email hello@noobgameslab.com. You also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
Changes to this policy
If we change how the site handles data, for example by adding analytics, we will update this page before the change takes effect and change the date at the top.
