Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to northernasylum.com and to all games developed and published by Northern Asylum (Cita Telpa, SIA).

1) Who we are

“Northern Asylum” is operated by Cita Telpa, SIA (“we”, “our”, “us”).
This Privacy Policy explains how we process personal data on our website and in our VR games distributed via third-party platforms (the “Platforms”).

Contact: info@northernasylum.com

2) Scope

This Policy covers:

  • Website: https://northernasylum.com/
  • VR games: all current and future titles we publish on Platforms (e.g., VR storefronts, device ecosystems).
    We remain platform-neutral in this Policy.

3) Key principles

  • We do not store VR player data on our servers.
  • We process only what Platforms provide at runtime, and only to deliver features (for example, showing your name or highlighting your own score).
  • Leaderboards and usage statistics are stored by the Platforms, not by us.
  • On the website, we use cookies/Google Analytics and receive emails you send via our contact form.
  • You can request deletion of data we control (for example, your emails) at info@northernasylum.com .
    For Platform account data or leaderboard entries, please use the Platform’s privacy tools.

4) Data we process and why

A) Website (northernasylum.com)

Categories

  • Analytics & cookies: IP address, device/browser info, page views, session metrics (via Google Analytics).
  • Contact: email address and message content you send us.

Purposes & legal bases

  • Site analytics & performance (legitimate interests; consent where required for cookies/analytics).
  • Responding to inquiries (performance of a contract / legitimate interests).

Storage & retention

  • Analytics: stored by Google per their retention settings.
  • Emails: stored in our Gmail inbox and retained as needed to handle your inquiry and for reasonable recordkeeping, then deleted or archived.

Your choices

  • Manage cookies via your browser and any consent banner we provide.
  • Contact us to delete or access emails you sent.
B) VR games (platform-provided data)

When you run our games, the Platform may provide limited information to the game in real time:

Categories

  • Platform user identifier (a unique ID).
  • Platform profile metadata (e.g., display name, avatar) for on-screen display.
  • Age-eligibility signal (a Platform-supplied indication used to enable/disable features per Platform policy).
  • Scores and usage statistics are maintained by the Platform; our games retrieve them live to show leaderboards and highlight your own score.

Purposes

  • Provide core functionality:
    • Show your profile name/avatar in-game.
    • Highlight your own leaderboard position.
    • Enable or disable specific features based solely on Platform policies and parental/age controls.
  • We do not combine, enrich, or profile this data across Platforms.
  • We do not store or log these data on our own servers.
    Data are processed in memory only during your play session.

Storage & retention

  • We do not store Platform identifiers, profile metadata, or age-eligibility signals after the session ends.
  • Leaderboards and usage statistics reside with the Platform (not us) under the Platform’s privacy policies.
  • Leaderboards are not cross-platform.

Age handling (platform-agnostic)

  • We do not set or declare a specific age threshold in this Policy.
  • We rely on the Platform’s own age/parental controls and signals.
  • If the Platform indicates that certain features are restricted for an account, our game honors that signal and disables the affected features.
  • We do not store age data or the outcome of any eligibility check.

5) Sharing and disclosure

  • We do not sell personal data and do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
  • We may disclose data we control if required by law or necessary to protect our rights.
  • Website analytics are processed by Google; emails are processed via Gmail.
  • VR gameplay/leaderboard data are processed and stored by the Platforms that provide them.

6) Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to safeguard data we directly control (e.g., our email).
Platform-stored data are protected under each Platform’s security practices.

7) International transfers

Website analytics and email may be processed on servers outside your country.
We rely on appropriate safeguards provided by our service providers (e.g., Google).

8) Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, object to, or restrict processing, and to withdraw consent (for cookies/analytics) at any time.

  • Data we control (website emails): contact info@northernasylum.com with your request.
  • Platform-stored data (account, scores, usage): use the Platform’s privacy tools or support to exercise rights or delete data.
    We do not control or store these records.

When you contact us, please include enough detail to identify your request
(e.g., email used, date of contact, Platform account ID if relevant).
We will respond in a reasonable time and as required by law.

9) Children and sensitive topics

  • We do not declare a specific age threshold in this Policy and do not process dates of birth.
  • We rely on Platform-managed age/parental controls and signals and do not retain such signals.
  • Our website does not contain content categorized by us as unsafe for children.
    Any feature restrictions in our games are driven by the Platform’s own policies, which we honor.

10) Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time.
The latest version will be posted at https://northernasylum.com/ .
If changes materially affect VR features, we will provide notice through appropriate channels.
