Privacy Policy
Last updated: 12 November 2026
In short: if you leave your email on playwicky.com, we keep it, with the language you chose and the time you signed up, so we can tell you about Wicky: The Kind Dark. We don't sell it, we don't use advertising trackers, and you can ask us to delete it at any time.
Who we are
This website, playwicky.com, is run by Lucas Sacheto, based in Canada ("we", "us"). We are responsible for the personal data described here. You can reach us at hello@playwicky.com.
What we collect
When you use the "Leave your light" form, we store:
- your email address;
- the language the page was showing (English, Português, Español or Français);
- the date and time you signed up.
That's all we keep. We don't ask for your name, and we don't build a profile of you.
To stop abuse of the form, our server briefly looks at your device's IP address to limit repeated attempts. We don't store it with your email. Like any website host, our hosting provider may keep it in short-lived technical logs.
Why we use it
- To send you news about Wicky: The Kind Dark: its development, its launch on iOS and Android, and early access for the first people who signed up.
- To write to you in the language you were reading.
- To show the number of sign-ups on the site as lights. Only the total number is shown, never anything about you.
We rely on your consent, given when you submit the form. That is consent under Canada's privacy and anti-spam laws (PIPEDA and CASL), GDPR Art. 6(1)(a) in Europe, and LGPD Art. 7, I in Brazil. You can withdraw it at any time; see "Your rights" below.
What we don't do
- We don't sell, rent or trade your email.
- We don't use advertising, analytics or tracking cookies. The page sets no cookies.
- Your sound on/off choice is kept only in your browser for the current visit, and is never sent to us.
Who handles it for us
We use a few service providers, who process data only on our instructions:
- Vercel Inc. (USA) hosts the website and runs the sign-up form.
- Supabase Inc. stores the sign-up list, in a database in the United States (East).
- Google Fonts serves the typeface used on the page. Loading it means your browser connects to Google, which receives your IP address.
- When we email you, we may use an email-sending service. We will name it here once we start sending.
Because these providers are in the United States, your data may be processed outside your country. Where the law requires it, we rely on safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, which these providers offer.
How long we keep it
We keep your email until you ask us to delete it or unsubscribe, or until we stop working on Wicky: The Kind Dark, whichever comes first. Then we delete it.
Your rights
Wherever you live, you can ask us to:
- tell you whether we hold your data, and give you a copy;
- correct it;
- delete it;
- stop using it, by withdrawing your consent.
Email hello@playwicky.com from the address you signed up with, and we'll act within 15 days. Every email we send will also have an unsubscribe link.
If you're not happy with how we handled a request, you can complain to a regulator. In Canada, that's the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. In the European Union or the UK, it's your local data protection authority. In Brazil, it's the Autoridade Nacional de Proteção de Dados (ANPD).
Children
The sign-up list is meant for people aged 16 or older. If you're younger, please ask a parent or guardian before signing up. If we learn that a child signed up without that permission, we'll delete the address.
Security
The site is served only over HTTPS. The sign-up list can be reached only by our server and by us. It isn't public, and the page itself can't read it.
Changes
If this policy changes, we'll update the date at the top. If we change how we use your email in a meaningful way, we'll tell you by email before it applies.
