Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2026

1. Minimal Data Collection

At Sunset Drifter, we believe the internet tracks you enough. As an independent informational and editorial website, we do not require you to create user accounts, we do not force social media logins, and we do not collect personally identifiable information (PII) simply for browsing our articles and guides about indie mobile games.

2. Analytics and Usage Data

To understand which articles are resonating and to ensure our website functions correctly across different mobile devices, we use privacy-respecting, anonymized analytics. This may collect basic, non-identifiable data such as browser type, device type (e.g., iOS vs Android), and the pages you visit. This data is aggregated and cannot be linked back to you personally.

3. Communication Data

If you choose to submit a game pitch via our Contact form or subscribe to our newsletter, we will securely store the email address and information you provide. This information is used strictly for editorial correspondence and sending the requested newsletter. We will never sell, rent, or trade your email address to third-party marketing agencies or game publishers.

4. Cookies

We use minimal cookies necessary for the basic technical functioning of the site. We do not use third-party tracking cookies for cross-site advertising. You can disable cookies in your browser settings at any time without losing any access to our game discovery guides or developer interviews.

5. External Links

Our editorial content frequently links to external sites, specifically the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and independent developer websites (e.g., itch.io). Once you click these links and leave Sunset Drifter, you are subject to the privacy policies of those external platforms. We are not responsible for how those platforms handle your data.

6. Updates to this Policy

We may update this policy occasionally as internet regulations evolve. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.

7. Contact Us
