Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026

TL;DR

We collect your email so we can tell you when BeatYourBacklog launches. We don't sell it, share it, or do anything else with it. That's it.

What We Collect

When you sign up for launch notifications, we collect the email address you provide. That's the only personal data we hold at this stage.

What We Do With It

Your email is used for one purpose only: to notify you when BeatYourBacklog goes live. You'll receive a single email when we launch, and you'll have the option to create an account. If you choose not to, your email will be deleted.

What We Don't Do

We will never sell your email address or any personal data to third parties. We won't share it with advertisers, data brokers, or anyone else. Your email is yours — we're just holding onto it so we can reach you.

How We Store It

Your email is stored using a reputable email service provider with appropriate security measures in place. We limit access to your data to only what's necessary to send you the launch notification.

Your Rights

You can request that we delete your email at any time by contacting us. Every notification email we send will also include an unsubscribe link so you can opt out instantly.

Future Data Collection

When BeatYourBacklog launches, we will collect additional data related to your gaming activity (games in your library, session records, notes, etc.). This data belongs to you and will only be used to provide the service. A full privacy policy covering in-app data collection will be published before launch.

Cookies

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use this site. GA sets the following cookies:

  • _ga — Distinguishes unique users. Stored for 2 years.
  • _ga_XXXXXXXXXX — Maintains session state. Stored for 2 years.

These cookies are only set if you give your consent via the banner that appears on your first visit. No personally identifiable information is sent to Google — only anonymised analytics data.

You can change your cookie preferences at any time by clicking the "Cookies" link in the footer of any page.
