Privacy Policy

Last updated: 28 September 2026

This policy explains how personal data is handled on zibbles.net. Zibbles is an independent personal project run by an individual, not a registered company. The individual operator of Zibbles is the data controller. For privacy questions or requests, contact the operator through the chat widget on the home page.

What data is collected

• Mailing list: when you choose to subscribe, the Brevo form collects your email address, your signup and consent record, and technical information needed to operate and protect the form. Brevo may also provide delivery, opening, click and unsubscribe information.
• Chat: if you use the tawk.to chat widget, it processes your messages, any details you choose to provide, and technical information such as your IP address, browser, device and page activity. The widget may use cookies and browser storage.
• Basic website logs: the hosting service may record information such as IP address, browser details, requested pages and timestamps for security and reliable delivery.

The browser games do not require an account. TCG matches are not saved by Zibbles. Spark Trail, Voyage to Zibbles, Tower Climb and Word Quest save best scores in your browser. Math Wilds saves solved orbs, skill progress, Sparks and best distance in your browser. Zibbles does not receive this game progress. Please do not send sensitive personal information through the signup form or chat.

Why the data is used

• Mailing-list data is used, with your consent, to send occasional Zibbles game news, creature reveals and playtest updates.
• Chat data is used to answer messages and provide support. This is based on the legitimate interest in responding to people who contact Zibbles.
• Technical logs are used for security, abuse prevention and reliable site operation, based on legitimate interests.

You do not have to join the mailing list or use chat to browse the site or play the demo.

Service providers and international transfers

Brevo provides the embedded signup form and sends mailing-list emails. tawk.to provides the chat widget. The website host processes technical requests needed to deliver the site. These providers act under their own terms and privacy safeguards and may process data outside your country, including outside the UK or European Economic Area. Where required, transfers are protected by an approved legal mechanism.

You can read the providers’ policies at Brevo and tawk.to.

How long data is kept

Your active mailing-list record is kept while you remain subscribed. If you unsubscribe, enough information may be retained to honour your opt-out and meet legal obligations. Chat messages and technical logs are kept only as long as reasonably needed for support, security and legal requirements, subject to the service providers’ retention settings and policies.

Your choices and rights

You can withdraw mailing-list consent at any time by using the unsubscribe link in any Zibbles email. Withdrawing consent does not affect earlier lawful processing.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to use of your data, and to receive a portable copy. You may also complain to your local data-protection authority. Contact Zibbles through the home-page chat to exercise a right; enough information may be requested to verify that the data is yours.

Children

The mailing list is not intended for children who are below the age at which they can give valid data-protection consent in their country. A parent or guardian should subscribe on their behalf instead.

Cookies and embedded content

Zibbles does not currently use a separate advertising or analytics service. Browser game scores, Math Wilds learning progress and your optional-service choice are stored in your browser, not sent to Zibbles. The embedded Brevo form and tawk.to chat are third-party content and may process technical data or use cookies and browser storage. They are not loaded until you accept optional third-party services. You can change your choice at any time using Cookie settings in the page footer; if you reject optional services, the signup form and chat will not load.

Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when the site or its services change. The latest version and update date will always appear on this page.
