Privacy

Last updated: 19 October 2026

Worldbuild (“we” or “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our applications, games, and websites (our “Services”). It is designed to align with the EU GDPR and South Africa’s POPIA, and with Apple App Store, Google Play, and Steam privacy expectations.

Data collection

We do not collect personal information or personally identifiable data through our apps and games. We do not ask for or store your name, email, phone number, physical address, or other identifiers.

The only data we may gather are limited, non-identifiable analytics and usage statistics (for example app usage metrics, device model, OS version, anonymized crash reports). This information cannot identify you. We do not profile users, serve personalized ads, or sell data for marketing.

Scopr, our free scoping tool

Your Scopr answers stay in your own browser. We see nothing unless you press Send my scope.

If you do send it:

• What we get: your name, your email, your scope answers and any note you add. If you ask for a copy, we email the PDF to you; we don't keep the PDF.
• Why: only to reply about your scope. No mailing list, no marketing, no selling.
• Where it goes: it is emailed to the studio (d@worldbuild.io) through Resend, our email provider, and saved on our own server in a list that keeps only the latest 100 sends.
• Deleting it: email d@worldbuild.io and we'll delete it.

Hyperspeed enquiries and meetings

Sending a collaboration brief shares your name, email, project answers, and submission time with Worldbuild so Deac can respond. We save these on our own server and notify the private Compass inbox. Do not include passwords or confidential client material. Browsing the funding directory and downloading an application outline do not submit an application to a funder.

The optional updates checkbox is separate from your enquiry. We record your choice and its time; leaving it unchecked does not affect your enquiry. We do not automatically subscribe people who visit, send a brief, or book a meeting. You can withdraw updates consent or request access, correction, or deletion by emailing d@worldbuild.io. No email open tracking or marketing automation is enabled by this form.

When calendar booking is connected, we check busy times without showing private event details. Booking shares your name, email, topic, and chosen time with our calendar provider to create the meeting. A meeting is confirmed only after the calendar accepts it. We retain enquiry and booking records only as needed to manage the collaboration or your consent; contact us to remove them.

Third parties and platforms

We may use third-party SDKs solely to run the Services and gather the anonymous analytics above. App Store, Google Play, and Steam may independently collect information under their own policies when you download or purchase; Worldbuild does not control that platform data.

Your rights

Under GDPR and POPIA you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or object to processing of personal data. We hold personal information only if you sent us a scope or collaboration brief, booked a meeting, or wrote to us; otherwise we will confirm that we hold none. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority or, in South Africa, the Information Regulator.

Children

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Our Services are designed to be used without providing personal data.
