Privacy Policy

Effective 14 November 2026

This policy explains what personal data Alec Rhony Pte. Ltd., trading as Ninth Door Studio, collects through this website, why we collect it, and what you can ask us to do with it. In this policy, "we" and "us" mean Alec Rhony Pte. Ltd., a company registered in Singapore. We follow Singapore's Personal Data Protection Act 2012 (the PDPA).

What we collect

We collect personal data through this website only when you choose to give it to us:

• Your email address, if you sign up for the launch email to hear when I Awakened with Someone Else's Power is released, and whether you also asked to hear about new games.
• Your name, your email address, the topic you pick and your message, if you use the contact form.
• Your email address and anything you write, if you send us an email.

Apart from the basic technical details described in the next section, we don't collect anything else through the site.

What we don't collect

This website sets no cookies. It has no analytics, no advertising trackers and no social media plug-ins, so we don't follow you around the site or across the web.

Two services see basic technical details whenever anyone visits:

• Netlify, the company that hosts the site, keeps standard server records such as your IP address, your browser type, the page you asked for and the time. Netlify uses them to run and protect the service. We don't use them to identify you.
• The site's fonts come from Google Fonts, so your browser asks Google's servers for them. Google receives your IP address and browser details when that happens, and says it does not use this data to build profiles or target ads.

Why we use it

• If you signed up for the launch email, we use your email address only to write to you once, on the day the game is released. If you also ticked the box for new games, we'll write when we announce a new game, a few times a year at most. We won't use your address for anything else.
• If you used the contact form or wrote to us, we use your name, your email address, the topic and your message only to answer you and to keep a record of what we said.

By submitting a form or writing to us, you agree to these uses. You can withdraw that agreement at any time, as explained under Your rights below.

Where it is kept

Launch-list sign-ups and contact-form messages are stored by Netlify, Inc., which runs both forms on our behalf. Emails you send us are stored by our email provider. Both may keep data on servers outside Singapore, including in the United States. Where that happens, we rely on these providers' contracts and security measures to protect your data to a standard comparable to the PDPA.

How long we keep it

• Launch list: we keep it until the launch email has gone out, and delete it within 90 days after that, unless you ticked the box to hear about new games. In that case we keep your address until you ask us to stop, and every email we send has a one-click unsubscribe link.
• Contact-form messages and emails you send us, with your name and email address: for as long as we need them to answer your message, and no longer than two years after our last reply.

Who we share it with

We don't sell, rent or trade your personal data, and we don't share it with anyone for their own marketing. The only people who handle it are us and the service providers named above, who act on our behalf. We would disclose it to anyone else only if the law requires us to.

Your rights

You can ask us at any time to:

• tell you what personal data we hold about you and how we have used it;
• correct it;
• delete it, or take you off the launch list;
• stop using your data, which withdraws the agreement you gave when you submitted a form or wrote to us.

Write to contact@alecrhony.com from the address in question. We'll reply within 30 days, and there is no charge.

Children

This website is not meant for children under 13. If you are under 13, please don't use either form on this site. If we learn that we hold a child's personal data, we'll delete it. Parents can write to us to ask for this.

Security

The site is served only over an encrypted connection (HTTPS), and only the people who run the studio can see the launch list and the messages you send. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect your data from loss, misuse and unauthorised access.

Our games and the app stores

When our games are released, you'll buy and download them through Apple's App Store, Google Play or Steam. Those stores handle your payment and account details under their own privacy policies; we never see your card details. Each game will come with its own privacy notice that explains what the game itself stores, such as your saved progress.

Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we'll publish the new version on this page and update the date at the top. If a change affects how we use personal data you have already given us, we'll ask for your agreement first.

Contact and data protection officer

Our data protection officer can be reached at contact@alecrhony.com. Write to this address with any question or complaint about your personal data. If you are not satisfied with our answer, you can contact Singapore's Personal Data Protection Commission at www.pdpc.gov.sg.
