I am Christophe Dugne-Esquevin, and I run Uralys: a one-person independent studio in France making games, websites and music. This page covers uralys.com and every game or app published under the Uralys name, on Steam, itch.io, the App Store and Google Play. Uralys is the data controller for everything described here; write to me at hello [at] uralys.com about any of it.
uralys.com is a static site hosted on Amazon Web Services: S3 and CloudFront, Paris region (eu-west-3). Like any web host, AWS records technical connection data in server logs: IP address, date and time, page requested, browser and operating system. Those logs exist to serve the site and spot abuse. They are kept briefly and never used to build a profile of you.
Legal basis: legitimate interest in serving and securing the site (GDPR Art. 6.1.f).
uralys.com sets no cookies of its own: none for analytics, none for advertising, none for preferences.
One page uses your browser's local storage: the Undercover party game keeps the current round, the player names you type and the running scores on your own device, so a game survives a reload. None of that ever leaves your browser. Clear it from the game itself, or by clearing site data for uralys.com.
The third-party players embedded on some pages do load with the page, and may set their own cookies at that moment. They are listed below.
Some pages load content from other companies. Your browser contacts them directly, so they receive your IP address and possibly more, under their own policies. Those requests may reach servers outside the European Union, covered by standard contractual clauses or the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. None of them report anything back to me.
Loading speed is measured inside your own browser (Core Web Vitals). Today those numbers are sent nowhere and stored nowhere. If I ever connect a real analytics tool, I will update this page before doing so, and ask for your consent first if that tool uses cookies or any similar identifier.
The site also carries a Google Search Console verification tag. It sets no cookie; it lets me see aggregate statistics about how the site appears in search results.
Some games, Faraday Corridors among them, let you submit a score to an online leaderboard, and the Hall of Fame tables on this site read from it. Here is everything that is sent when you do:
Never sent: your name, your email address, your location, your contacts, your advertising identifier, or anything else from your device.
Scores live on a Uralys service (leaderboard.uralys.com) hosted on AWS in Europe, and the display name and score are shown publicly. That is pseudonymous data, not anonymous. That is why this page treats it as personal data.
Legal basis: your consent, given by choosing to submit. Play offline, submit nothing, and nothing leaves the game. Entries stay while the leaderboard is live; email hello [at] uralys.com with the display name and the game, and I will delete yours.
When you buy or install a Uralys game through Steam, the App Store, Google Play or itch.io, that store is its own data controller: it handles the purchase, the account, playtime, crash reports and refunds under its own policy. I only ever see aggregate figures (sales, wishlists, country breakdowns), never an individual player.
Uralys games themselves contain no advertising, no ad SDK, no third-party tracker and no location tracking.
I keep your address and your message for as long as it takes to answer and to keep a sensible record: three years at most for a business enquiry. Your address is never added to a mailing list, because there is no mailing list.
Legal basis: legitimate interest in replying to you (GDPR Art. 6.1.f).
Under the GDPR you can ask me, at any time, to:
Write to hello [at] uralys.com. I answer within a month. There is no account system, so I may need one detail to find the right record: for a leaderboard entry, the display name and the game are enough.
If you think a request was mishandled, you can lodge a complaint with the French data protection authority, the CNIL: 3 place de Fontenoy, TSA 80715, 75334 Paris Cedex 07, cnil.fr.
Uralys games and this site are not directed at children under 15, and I do not knowingly collect anything from them. The only thing a player ever types is a leaderboard display name, and nobody should type a real name there. If you are a parent and a name identifying your child appears on a leaderboard, email hello [at] uralys.com and I will remove it.
There is no profiling and no automated decision-making of any kind, in the games or on this site.
This page is versioned with the website's source code. Any meaningful change is published here and the date below is updated. If a change ever affects data already collected, I will say so plainly rather than quietly editing the text.
