Privacy Policy
Last updated: 13 November 2026
This policy explains what information the Gorgon Bar website (gorgonbar.com) and the Gorgon Battle game app collect, why, and what you can do about it. We collect as little as possible.
Who we are
Gorgon Bar and Gorgon Battle are run by Smart Digital Ventures Ltd, a UK limited company. We are the data controller for the information described here.
Contact: hello@tripchecker.co.uk
The short version
- No accounts, no ads from ad networks, and no tracking or analytics in the app or on the website.
- If you sign up for launch news, we keep your email address to tell you when Gorgon Bar launches.
- If you save a high score, we keep the initials you type (up to 3 letters), your score and stage, and the time it was saved. These appear publicly in the Top 10.
- Your best score and settings (sound, vibration, controls) stay on your own device.
What we collect and why
| Information | When | Why | Kept for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Your email address | You sign up for launch news on gorgonbar.com | To email you news about the Gorgon Bar launch. Our lawful basis is your consent. | Until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it |
| Initials (1 to 3 letters or numbers), score, stage reached and the time saved | You choose to save a Top 10 score in the app or on the website | To show the shared Top 10 "Hall of Heroes". Our lawful basis is our legitimate interest in running the game's leaderboard. | While the leaderboard runs, or until you ask us to remove it |
Please don't type anything into the initials box that identifies you, such as your full name. Initials appear publicly to everyone who plays.
Information that stays on your device
The app and website remember your best score and your sound, vibration and control settings using your device's own storage. This never leaves your device, and deleting the app or clearing your browser data removes it.
Services we use
These companies handle information on our behalf, only to provide their service:
- Google Firebase (Google LLC) stores the Top 10 scores.
- Formspree receives launch news sign-ups and passes them to us.
- Cloudflare hosts gorgonbar.com. Like any web host, it processes your IP address to deliver and protect the site.
- Google Fonts supplies the website's fonts, so your browser connects to Google when you visit gorgonbar.com. The app has its fonts built in.
Some of these providers may process information outside the UK. Where they do, they use safeguards recognised under UK data protection law.
App permissions
Gorgon Battle uses the internet (to load and save the Top 10) and vibration (for game effects, which you can switch off on the menu). It does not access your contacts, location, camera, microphone, photos or files.
Children
Gorgon Battle is suitable for children. The game itself collects nothing from players unless they choose to save a Top 10 score, and then only the 1 to 3 letter initials they type, their score, the stage reached and the time. There are no accounts, chat, ad networks or tracking.
Launch news sign-ups on gorgonbar.com are for adults. If you're a parent or guardian and want a Top 10 entry or any other information about your child removed, email us and we'll delete it.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law you can ask us to see, correct or delete the information we hold about you, or object to how we use it. You can unsubscribe from launch news at any time using the link in our emails or by contacting us. To remove a Top 10 entry, email us the initials, score and roughly when you saved it.
Write to hello@tripchecker.co.uk and we'll reply within one month. If you're unhappy with how we've handled your information, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
