Your privacy matters wherever you are.

Effective Date: June 13, 2026

Last Updated: June 13, 2026

Iron Quill Games Co. (“Iron Quill Games,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is responsible for the personal information described in this policy. We are based in the United States. This policy is intended to provide privacy information to visitors worldwide, including individuals in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, Switzerland, Canada, Brazil, California, and other jurisdictions with privacy laws.

Privacy rights and obligations vary by location. We will honor rights required by applicable law. Nothing in this policy limits rights that cannot legally be limited.

1. Scope

This policy applies to personal information processed through ironquillgamesco.com, our contact form, newsletter sign-up forms, business communications, and related online interactions that link to this policy.

It does not apply to third-party websites, platforms, retailers, crowdfunding services, social networks, or communities that maintain their own privacy notices.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide

• Contact information: name, email address, subject, inquiry category, message content, and information you choose to include.
• Newsletter information: email address, subscription status, consent records, sign-up date, and engagement information such as email opens or link clicks when provided by our email service.
• Business information: company, role, professional contact details, and correspondence relating to press, retail, distribution, conventions, creative work, or partnerships.
• Feedback and community information: comments, survey responses, playtesting feedback, or other information you voluntarily send.

Information collected automatically

• Technical information: IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, referring page, pages viewed, date and time, and diagnostic or security logs.
• Cookie and interaction information: preferences, session data, newsletter-form interactions, and similar information generated by website or service-provider technologies.

We do not intentionally request sensitive personal information through the website. Please do not submit government identifiers, financial account details, health information, precise location, passwords, or other highly sensitive information through the contact form.

3. Sources of Information

We may receive personal information:

• Directly from you;
• Automatically from your browser or device;
• From service providers that support hosting, email delivery, form processing, security, and website operations;
• From public professional sources or business contacts when you communicate with us in a professional capacity; and
• From social media, crowdfunding, convention, or community platforms when you choose to interact with us there.

4. How We Use Information

We may use personal information to:

• Respond to questions, requests, and business inquiries;
• Send the Adventurer’s List newsletter and requested development updates;
• Manage subscriptions, consent records, and unsubscribe requests;
• Communicate about Forlazia, Iron Quill Games, playtesting, art, crowdfunding, events, and future releases;
• Evaluate retail, press, creative, convention, or partnership opportunities;
• Operate, maintain, troubleshoot, secure, and improve the website;
• Understand general website and email performance;
• Prevent spam, abuse, fraud, and security incidents;
• Maintain business records and protect legal rights; and
• Comply with applicable law, lawful requests, and legal processes.

5. Legal Bases for Processing

Where the GDPR, UK GDPR, or similar law requires a legal basis, we rely on one or more of the following:

• Consent: for example, when you voluntarily subscribe to marketing emails or accept non-essential cookies where consent is required.
• Contract or pre-contract steps: when processing is needed to respond to a request or discuss a potential business relationship.
• Legitimate interests: to operate and secure the website, communicate with business contacts, understand service performance, prevent abuse, and improve our games and services, provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.
• Legal obligation: when processing is necessary to comply with law, regulation, court order, or lawful government request.
• Legal claims: when necessary to establish, exercise, or defend legal rights.

Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing already performed lawfully before withdrawal.

6. How We Disclose Information

We may disclose personal information to the following categories of recipients:

• Service providers and processors: companies supporting website hosting, email delivery, form processing, data storage, security, diagnostics, and related operations.
• MailerLite: used to manage newsletter subscriptions, delivery, consent records, and email engagement.
• Google services: our contact form may use Google Apps Script or related Google services to receive and process submissions.
• Professional advisers: lawyers, accountants, insurers, or other advisers when reasonably necessary.
• Business transaction parties: in connection with a financing, merger, acquisition, restructuring, asset transfer, or similar transaction, subject to appropriate protections.
• Authorities and other parties: when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, security, or prevent fraud.

We require service providers to process information only for authorized purposes and to apply appropriate safeguards, subject to their contracts and applicable law.

7. Sale, Sharing, and Targeted Advertising

Iron Quill Games does not sell personal information for money. We also do not knowingly share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising or use personal information for targeted advertising as those terms are defined under applicable U.S. state privacy laws.

We do not knowingly use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes that would require a right to limit under California law.

If our practices change, we will update this policy and provide any required opt-out method, including recognition of legally required browser-based preference signals where applicable.

8. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our website and service providers may use cookies, local storage, pixels, or similar technologies for essential site functions, security, newsletter-form operation, preference storage, and limited measurement.

We do not currently intend to use cookies for cross-site behavioral advertising. If we introduce optional analytics or advertising technologies, we will provide notice and obtain consent where required.

You can control cookies through your browser. Blocking some technologies may affect website or form functionality.

9. International Data Transfers

Iron Quill Games is based in the United States. Personal information submitted from another country may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in the United States and other countries where our service providers operate. Those countries may have data-protection laws different from those in your location.

Where required, we and our service providers use recognized transfer mechanisms and safeguards, such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, the United Kingdom International Data Transfer Agreement or Addendum, contractual protections, and supplementary security measures.

You may contact us to request additional information about safeguards relevant to your personal information.

10. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including legal, accounting, security, and dispute-resolution needs. Retention depends on the nature of the information and the context in which it was collected.

• Newsletter records: retained while you are subscribed. After unsubscribe, we may retain a limited suppression record so we can honor your request not to receive further marketing.
• Contact and business correspondence: generally retained for up to 24 months after the last meaningful interaction, and longer where needed for an active relationship, legal obligation, or claim.
• Technical and security logs: generally retained for a limited period determined by operational and security needs and provider settings.

We may retain de-identified or aggregated information that no longer identifies an individual.

11. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. No system or internet transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have the right to:

• Know whether we process your personal information;
• Request access to or a copy of personal information;
• Correct inaccurate personal information;
• Request deletion of personal information;
• Request restriction of processing;
• Object to certain processing, including direct marketing;
• Receive certain information in a portable format;
• Withdraw consent;
• Opt out of sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or certain profiling where applicable;
• Limit certain uses of sensitive personal information where applicable;
• Appeal a decision regarding a privacy request where applicable; and
• Lodge a complaint with a data-protection or privacy authority.

How to submit a request

Email info@ironquillgamesco.com with the subject line “Privacy Request.” Describe the right you wish to exercise and the information or interaction involved.

We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. We will only request information reasonably necessary for verification. You may use an authorized agent where permitted by law, but we may require evidence of the agent’s authority and verification of your identity.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right. Some rights are subject to exceptions, and we may retain information where legally permitted or required. We will explain any material denial and provide appeal instructions where applicable.

13. Regional Disclosures

European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland

Individuals in these regions may have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability, and withdrawal of consent. You may also complain to the supervisory authority in the country where you live, work, or believe an infringement occurred.

Iron Quill Games does not currently engage in decisions based solely on automated processing that produce legal or similarly significant effects on website visitors.

California

California residents may have rights to know, access, correct, delete, and obtain information about categories of personal information collected, sources, business purposes, and recipients. Covered consumers may also have rights to opt out of sale or sharing and to limit certain uses of sensitive personal information.

During the preceding 12 months, we may have collected the categories described in this policy, including identifiers, internet or electronic activity, professional information, and correspondence. We use and disclose those categories for the business purposes described above. We have not sold or knowingly shared those categories for cross-context behavioral advertising.

We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16 years of age.

Other U.S. states

Residents of states with comprehensive privacy laws may have rights to access, correct, delete, obtain a portable copy, opt out of targeted advertising, sale, or certain profiling, and appeal a denied request, subject to applicability and exceptions.

Canada

Canadian residents may request access to or correction of personal information and may withdraw consent, subject to legal or contractual restrictions. You may also contact the applicable federal or provincial privacy regulator.

Brazil and other jurisdictions

Where applicable, individuals may exercise rights provided under Brazil’s LGPD or other local privacy laws, including confirmation of processing, access, correction, deletion or anonymization, portability, information about disclosures, and review of consent-based processing.

14. Children’s Privacy

This website is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Where a higher minimum age applies to consent for online services, we will apply that requirement.

A parent or guardian who believes a child submitted personal information may contact us to request its deletion.

15. External Services and Links

Our website may link to social media, BoardGameGeek, Discord, YouTube, TikTok, X, crowdfunding platforms, retailers, or other third parties. Clicking a link may allow that third party to collect information under its own privacy policy. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party privacy practices.

16. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our services, providers, practices, or legal obligations. We will post the revised policy on this page and update the “Last Updated” date. Where legally required, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent.
