Privacy Contact
marty+privacy@flying-rat.studioWelcome to Flying Rat Studio ("we", "our", or "us"). We are an independent video game studio committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you play our games on PC or console platforms.
By playing our games, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
Flying Rat Studio is an independent video game developer and publisher. Our games are available on PC and console platforms. For any privacy-related questions, you may contact us at the address provided in Section 8 of this policy.
We collect limited data to improve our games and understand how players interact with them. We do not collect payment information, and our games do not require account registration directly with us.
When you play our games, we may automatically collect the following types of analytics and telemetry data:
All analytics and telemetry data is fully anonymized at the point of collection. We do not assign or store any user identifiers, device identifiers, or any other data that could be used to identify you as an individual. We work exclusively with clean, aggregated data that contains no personal information.
If you play our games via Steam (Valve Corporation) or a console platform such as PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo, those platforms may collect additional data under their own privacy policies. We may receive limited, aggregated information from these platforms, such as achievement statistics or crash reports, as permitted by their developer agreements. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of these platforms:
We use the analytics and telemetry data we collect for the following purposes:
We do not sell, rent, or trade your data to third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, our legal basis for collecting and processing analytics data is our legitimate interest in improving our products and ensuring game quality (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Where required by law, we will request your consent before collecting analytics data.
We retain analytics and telemetry data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy. Aggregated and anonymized data may be retained indefinitely as it can no longer be linked to any individual. When data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it.
We may share limited data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our games and analyzing performance, such as crash reporting and analytics tools. These providers are contractually obligated to keep your data confidential and to use it only on our behalf.
We do not share personal data with third parties.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or the data we hold, please contact us at:
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or applicable law. When we make significant changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of our games after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
