Your Privacy, Plainly Explained

Efface Studios (“we”, “us”, “our”) is a game development studio based in Lahore, Pakistan. This policy applies to the website at https://effacestudios.vercel.app and to any communication you send us through it.

By using this website, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not submit information through the site.

This policy covers the website only. Our games and mobile apps published on Google Play are separate products with their own privacy disclosures. Please review the privacy policy listed on each app's Google Play page before installing or using it.

We only collect information in two ways: what you give us directly, and limited technical data generated automatically when you load a page.

We do not ask for and do not want sensitive personal information such as government ID numbers, financial account details, health data, or passwords. Please do not include these in an application or email.

We use the information we receive to:

• Review and respond to job and internship applications.
• Communicate with you about your application, your inquiry, or a potential collaboration.
• Keep records of who we have contacted so we do not duplicate outreach.
• Maintain the security and proper functioning of the website.
• Comply with legal obligations where they apply.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to advertisers, data brokers, or any third party.

This website does not set advertising cookies, does not run third-party analytics or tracking pixels, and does not build behavioural profiles of visitors.

Any cookie or local storage you encounter while here is either strictly necessary for the site to function or is set by a third-party page we link to (for example, Google's sign-in or form pages). Those services operate under their own cookie policies, which we do not control.

We keep outside services to a minimum. The ones that may process your data in connection with this site are:

We keep application and inquiry information for as long as it is useful for hiring and collaboration purposes — generally up to 24 months after our last contact with you, unless you ask us to delete it sooner. After that, we remove it or anonymise it.

If you become a team member or contractor, relevant records may be retained longer as required for operational or legal reasons.

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the information we hold — access is limited to the people who need it to review applications or respond to inquiries. The site is served over HTTPS.

No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, so please share only what is necessary for your application or inquiry.

This website is intended for people aged 16 and older, and our careers program is open to applicants aged 18 and over (or the age of majority where you live). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact effacestudios@gmail.com and we will delete it promptly.

Regardless of where you live, you can ask us to:

• Tell you what personal information we hold about you.
• Correct information that is inaccurate or out of date.
• Delete your application, CV, or inquiry from our records.
• Stop contacting you about future opportunities.

Email us at effacestudios@gmail.com with the subject “Privacy Request” and we will respond within a reasonable time, normally within 30 days. We may ask you to confirm your identity so we do not disclose information to the wrong person.

We may update this policy as the site or our practices change. The “last updated” date at the top of this page always reflects the current version. Material changes will be highlighted on this page, and continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
