Privacy policy

Last updated: 10 November 2026

Lizarding is a game made by Ian McGarry, an independent developer in Spain, under the name Latentsea. This policy says what the game and this website keep about you, why, and how to have it deleted. Write to dev-latent-sea@proton.me about any of it.

This website

lizarding.com sets no cookies and has no trackers, analytics or ads. Only if you sign in as a streamer does the page keep your sign-in in your browser's own storage, so you stay signed in; signing out removes it. Its pages are served by GitHub Pages, which, like any web host, sees your IP address when your browser asks for a page and may keep it in its logs for security. The pictures of streams under Live now come from Twitch and YouTube, which see your IP address when your browser fetches them.

The newsletter

• What: your email address, and when and how you agreed to the newsletter.
• Why: to send it to you, because you asked for it (your consent). You confirm by clicking a link we email you first.
• Who handles it: Brevo (Sendinblue SAS, France) keeps the list and sends the emails for us, in the EU.
• Stopping it: every email has an unsubscribe link. After you unsubscribe, your address is kept only on a "do not email" list, so it is never sent to again; ask us and it is deleted outright.

Streamers

• What: when you sign in with Twitch or with Google (YouTube), your channel's id, name, picture and address, and the email address Twitch or Google gives us. Google is asked only to show which YouTube channel is yours (read-only); nothing is posted or changed on your channel, and the access lasts only for that sign-in.
• What we then see: whether your channel is live, from Twitch's and YouTube's public data: the stream's title, picture, viewer count and start time, and on YouTube the notice YouTube sends when your channel adds a video. Any time you set for your next stream, and when you press "I'm live".
• Why: to list your stream under Live now and Coming up when you stream Lizarding, which is what you sign up for. If you also tick the box for emails, we email you keys, Next Fest news and streamer waves (your consent, kept with its time and words). Every such email has a one-click link to stop them.
• Public: while you are live with Lizarding, your channel's name, stream title, picture and viewer count are shown on this website, as they are on Twitch or YouTube.
• How long: until you leave the streamer list, on your streamer page, which deletes your channels, streams and choices. A stream's details are deleted a week after it ends.
• Who handles it: the account sits on Latentsea's own server (in the EU) with the game's. The emails are sent by Resend (United States).
• YouTube: the streamer section uses YouTube API Services. By signing in with YouTube you agree to the YouTube Terms of Service; Google's use of your data is under the Google Privacy Policy. You can take back Lizarding's access at any time in your Google account's third-party connections (it is used only at sign-in anyway). Lizarding's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs follows the Google API Services User Data Policy, including its Limited Use requirements.
• Twitch: likewise, you can disconnect Lizarding in Twitch's Settings, Connections.

The game

• A guest account. When you first open Lizarding it creates a guest account for you on its own. You give no email address, phone number or password. The account is a random identifier.
• Google sign-in, if you choose it. You may keep your account with Google, or sign in with it. Google then gives us your Google account's id and email address, used only to sign you in.
• The name you choose. You pick a player name before your first race. Other players can see it, for example on the Battle Ladder and in challenges.
• Your play. Your credits, your bets and their results, your leagues, your battles and your ladder standing are kept on the game's server, because the game is played there.

The game shows no ads, contains no trackers or analytics, and does not read your location, contacts, photos or anything else on your device. It is kept only to run the game: to keep your account, your name and your progress, and to let other players see your name where the game shows it. A guest account that has not been used for ten days is deleted, together with the play kept under it. An account in use is kept while you play.

Who else handles it

Your data is not sold or shared with anyone for their own use. It is held by the service providers named above and those that host the game's sign-in and its server, who process it only for us. Connections to them are encrypted. Where a provider is outside the EU (GitHub, Resend, and Google and Twitch for their sign-ins), the transfer is covered by the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or the European Commission's standard contractual clauses.

Deleting your data

Email dev-latent-sea@proton.me with your player name, your channel or your email address and ask for your data to be deleted. It will be deleted within 30 days, and you will be told when it is done. Streamers can also leave the list on their streamer page, and newsletter readers unsubscribe from any email.

Age

Lizarding is meant for adults.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you can ask to see the data kept about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to take a copy, to withdraw a consent at any time, or to object to its use, by writing to the address above. You can also complain to the Spanish data protection authority, the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos (aepd.es).

Changes

If this policy changes, the new version will be posted at this address with a new date.
