Privacy & Cookies Policy
Last updated 5 October 2026
1. Who we are
Studio Oddlay Limited (“we”, “us”, “our”) is an independent game studio and a company registered in England and Wales (No. 17398775), with its registered office at Suite RA01, 195–197 Wood Street, London, E17 3NU, United Kingdom. We are the data controller for the small amount of personal information described in this policy, which covers this website and our games. You can contact us at any time at [email protected].
2. The short version
We don’t have accounts, sign-ups, newsletters, analytics or advertising — on this website or in our games. The only personal information we ever hold is what you choose to send us, by email or as a message on one of our community channels. Your game progress is saved on your own device, and in the platform’s cloud save if you use one.
3. This website
What we collect. Nothing directly. The site has no forms, no analytics and no advertising, and our fonts and images are served from our own site rather than third-party services.
Hosting. The site is hosted by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare automatically processes technical information needed to deliver the site and protect it from abuse — such as your IP address, browser type and the time of your visit. We don’t use this information to identify you, and it is handled under Cloudflare’s privacy policy. Our legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in running a secure, working website. Cloudflare keeps this technical information in line with its own policy.
Links. This site links to our pages on other platforms, such as social media and game stores. Those sites have their own privacy policies, which apply once you visit them.
4. Cookies
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device, often to remember information about you or your visit.
We get your consent to use cookies unless they’re essential for our website, games or services.
Managing cookies. You can view, block or delete cookies at any time in your browser settings, which also withdraws any consent you’ve given.
5. Our games
What the game stores. Oddlay saves your progress (the furthest level you’ve reached and the last level you viewed) and your sound setting in a file on your own device. This file never leaves your device unless you use a platform’s cloud save feature. On phones and tablets, your save may also be included in your device’s own backup (Android backup to your Google account, or iCloud on Apple devices), handled by Google or Apple under their own policies.
What the game doesn’t do. Our games have no accounts, analytics, advertising or tracking, and don’t send any information to us. In Oddlay, the in-game Store button simply opens either this website or the game’s store page, in your browser or store app.
Cloud saves. If you play through a platform that offers cloud saves (for example, Steam Cloud) and you have it switched on, the platform copies your save file to its servers so you can continue on another device. That is handled by the platform under its own privacy policy.
6. Stores and purchases
Our games are sold through third-party stores such as Steam, itch.io, Google Play and the Apple App Store. Your account, payment and download information is handled by that store under its own privacy policy. We don’t receive your payment details. Stores may share limited, usually aggregated, sales reports with us, which we don’t use to identify anyone. Stores may also share anonymous crash and performance reports, if you’ve allowed this on your device.
Reviews. If you leave a public review of one of our games on a store, we may read it and reply to it. Reviewers’ names are published and managed by the store under its own policy; we don’t copy or keep reviews elsewhere.
Our community channels. We run community spaces on social media and community platforms. Anything you post there is visible to others and is governed by that platform’s own privacy policy. We may read and reply to posts and messages.
7. When you email us
If you email us, we receive your email address, your name if you include it and whatever you write. We use this only to reply to you and deal with your message; our legal basis is our legitimate interest in responding to people who contact us. We never sell it, share it for marketing or add you to a mailing list. We keep emails for as long as they’re useful for dealing with your enquiry, any later follow-up and our business records, and delete them when they’re no longer needed. You can ask us to delete your emails at any time. Emails to our address are forwarded by our domain provider, Porkbun, to Google (Gmail), which processes messages on our behalf.
8. When we share information
We don’t sell, rent or trade personal information, and we don’t share it for advertising. We would only ever disclose the information described in this policy:
- to the service providers named in this policy, so they can run the website and our email for us;
- where we are required to by law, or by a court, regulator or other public authority;
- where it is necessary to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights, or to protect the safety, rights or property of our players, ourselves or others;
- if Studio Oddlay Limited is ever involved in a merger, acquisition or sale of its business or assets, in which case the information we hold may transfer to the new owner, who would remain bound by this policy.
For residents of California and other US states. We do not sell or share personal information, as those terms are defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and similar US state laws, and we have not done so in the past 12 months.
9. Where your information is processed
Our service providers (Cloudflare, Porkbun and Google) may process information outside the UK, including in the United States. Where they do, we rely on the safeguards approved under UK data protection law to keep your information protected.
10. Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the small amount of information we hold, such as keeping the accounts we use to run the studio properly secured. However, no method of sending or storing information over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. Children
Our games are suitable for all ages. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children, and our games collect none from anyone. If a child has emailed us and a parent or guardian would like that message deleted, please get in touch and we will delete it.
12. Your rights
Under UK data protection law you have the right to ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, and to ask us to correct it, delete it, restrict or object to how we use it, or transfer it to you. In practice, the only information we could hold about you is an email or message you’ve sent us. To make a request, email us and we will respond within one month. We may need to confirm your identity before acting on a request, so that we never give your information to someone else. We will never treat you differently for exercising any of your rights. For information held by a store or platform, please contact that store or platform directly.
We don’t make any decisions about you using automated processing or profiling.
If you’re unhappy with how we’ve handled your information, you can complain to the UK’s data protection regulator, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), at ico.org.uk. We’d appreciate the chance to put things right first, so please contact us before going to the ICO.
If you’re in the European Union or European Economic Area, you have the same rights under the EU General Data Protection Regulation, and you can also complain to the data protection authority in the country where you live.
13. Changes to this policy
If our practices change — for example, if we add a new feature that handles personal information — we will update this policy before the change takes effect. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we handle your information.
