Privacy Policy

Netrigo Game Studios ("Netrigo", "we", "us") is an independent game development studio based in the Republic of Türkiye. We develop and publish the video game Blood & Silence and operate the website at www.netrigogames.tr.

For the purposes of GDPR and KVKK, Netrigo Game Studios is the Data Controller of personal data collected through our website and direct communication channels. In-game personal data processing is primarily controlled by the distribution platform you use (Steam, Epic Games).

2.1 Website Visits

When you visit netrigogames.tr, our hosting infrastructure automatically logs:

2.2 Voluntary Submissions

You may actively provide data through our forms — only the fields you complete are stored:

• Newsletter: email address
• Support tickets: name, email, message contents, any attachments you include
• Press inquiries: name, publication, email, topic
• Careers / collaboration: name, email, portfolio links, any CV/attachments you submit

2.3 Blood & Silence (In-Game)

Game-side personal data is processed by the platform on which you play (Steam, Epic Games Store). Netrigo receives only what is explicitly permitted and necessary: anonymised, aggregate crash reports and gameplay telemetry used to diagnose bugs and balance systems. We do not receive your name, account identifier, payment details, or IP address from these platforms.

We take a minimalist approach to client-side storage. The website does not use advertising, cross-site tracking, or profiling cookies. The only client-side storage we use:

We load Google Fonts from fonts.googleapis.com. Google may log the IP address when your browser requests font files. We do not share any other data with Google via the website. If you do not wish to fetch external fonts, disable them in your browser; the site gracefully falls back to system fonts.

Under GDPR Article 6 and KVKK Article 5, we only process personal data where we have a valid legal basis. Depending on the context, we rely on:

• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)): when you subscribe to our newsletter or explicitly opt in to communications.
• Contract performance (Art. 6(1)(b)): when responding to a support ticket or a collaboration application.
• Legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c)): when we must retain records for tax, accounting, or law-enforcement requests.
• Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)): for security logging, fraud prevention, and essential analytics necessary to operate the site. We perform a documented balancing test for each use case.

Data is used strictly for the purposes described below — nothing more:

• Responding to support tickets, press inquiries, and collaboration applications
• Sending launch notifications only to newsletter subscribers who have opted in
• Aggregate website analytics (never tied to an individual identity)
• Crash diagnostics and gameplay balancing based on anonymised telemetry
• Security monitoring, fraud prevention, and abuse investigation
• Complying with lawful requests from competent authorities

We retain personal data only as long as strictly necessary for the purpose it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Default retention schedule:

You have the following rights under GDPR (Articles 15–22) and KVKK (Article 11), exercisable free of charge:

To exercise any of these rights, email dpo@netrigogames.tr. We will respond within 30 days of receiving your request and verifying your identity. Complex requests may be extended by an additional two months, with notice.

Where necessary, we rely on vetted third parties to operate specific components. Each provider acts under a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) where applicable:

Each platform operates under its own privacy policy. Netrigo is not responsible for data processing carried out independently by these platforms.

Some of our processors are based outside Türkiye and the EU (primarily in the United States). Where data is transferred internationally, we rely on one or more of the following safeguards:

• European Commission adequacy decisions, where applicable
• Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) as adopted by the European Commission
• Explicit, informed consent for a specific transfer
• Data minimisation — transferring only what is strictly necessary

You can request copies of the safeguards in place by contacting our DPO.

We apply technical and organisational measures appropriate to the risk level of the data involved, including:

• HTTPS / TLS for all transport between browsers and our servers
• Strict Content Security Policy (CSP) and HTTP security headers
• Minimum-privilege access control for studio members handling data
• Encrypted backups with periodic integrity verification
• Log monitoring and anomaly detection

In the event of a personal data breach likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the competent supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware, and will notify affected individuals without undue delay where the risk is high, in accordance with GDPR Articles 33–34 and KVKK Article 12.

Blood & Silence is rated Mature 17+. Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 16 (or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe a minor has submitted personal data to us, contact legal@netrigogames.tr. We will verify the request and delete the data without undue delay.

We may update this Privacy Policy when our practices change or legal obligations require it. Material changes will be announced at least 14 days before taking effect via a site notice and (where we hold your email) a direct notification. The "Last Updated" date above always reflects the current version.

Continued use of our services after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
