Privacy Policy

When you join the JamForge community, participate in our game jams, or access our developer resources, we collect information to ensure a smooth and fair experience. This includes account registration details such as your username, email address, and developer portfolio links.

For competition entries, we collect game submission files, source code links, and team member associations. We may also collect technical data such as browser type and IP address when you interact with our platform to maintain security during voting and submission phases.

Your data is strictly used to facilitate the game jam events, manage community interactions, and improve our developer resources. Specifically, we use your information to:

• Process your competition entries and distribute prizes.
• Enable matchmaking and team-building within the community.
• Send important updates regarding upcoming jams, rule changes, or platform maintenance.
• Prevent fraud, multiple account abuse, and vote manipulation during competitions.

JamForge is built on collaboration. By default, your developer profile username and submitted games are visible to the public. However, your private email address and direct contact information are never shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

We may share necessary data with trusted service providers who assist us in hosting the platform, sending emails, or processing prize payouts. These providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and may only use your data to perform services on our behalf.

You retain complete ownership over your personal data and game submissions. You have the right to request access to the data we hold about you, request corrections to inaccurate profiles, or ask for complete deletion of your account and associated submissions.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact our support team using the details provided below. Please note that removing a game submission during an active voting phase may disqualify your team from the current competition.
