Privacy policies and terms for Indie games

Use this guide to prepare an accurate inventory for your Indie games workflow. Start with what your product actually does today, then turn that inventory into editable documents with PolicyKit.

Map the information journey

A game can process save files, player handles, crash dumps, matchmaking records and purchase entitlements. Start by separating offline features from online services. A single-player game may still contact a crash reporting or distribution service. Document what leaves the device and whether identifiers connect diagnostic records to an account, a session or a persistent installation.

Decide what your documents need to explain

Multiplayer features add chat, moderation and player reporting workflows. Describe what evidence is retained when someone reports abuse and who can review it. Keep optional telemetry separate from information needed for account access or matchmaking. If cloud saves are available, explain the relationship between local deletion and remote copies rather than suggesting that uninstalling always removes everything.

Review the complete user experience

Test first launch, offline play, account registration and a deletion request with a nonproduction account. Review crash attachments for unintended user content and check community tools alongside the game backend. If your audience includes younger players, seek a specific assessment of your design and data practices. A generic policy cannot resolve age-related product decisions or platform requirements.

Turn your inventory into a draft

In the free generator, enter your public brand, website and support contact. Describe data categories, purposes, providers, retention periods and security measures that are already in use. Do not paste customer records, credentials or confidential files. Where a decision remains unresolved, investigate it before publishing rather than replacing a placeholder with a guess. Review the output after every meaningful product change.
