1. Objectives of the Privacy Policy:
Respecting privacy and protecting personal information are essential to us. Through this Policy, we aim to safeguard them in accordance with applicable laws.
To ensure this protection, Yellow Brick Games commits to collecting, processing, and sharing information that can identify an individual only when that individual has consented, unless it is permitted or required by law, in which case your consent will not be necessary.
The Policy aims to inform users of the reasons and how Yellow Brick Games, or anyone acting on its behalf, will collect and use their personal information. It is designed to be in clear language to ensure informed consent from users.
For the purposes of this Policy, “personal information” refers to any information about an identifiable person or information that can identify a person. To the extent possible, we will anonymize, pseudonymize, and/or aggregate this information so that it no longer identifies a person.
2. Effective Date:
This Policy is effective as of October 2, 2023.
3. Consent Collection Methods:
We commit to obtaining consent before collecting an individual’s personal information. Consent can be explicit or implicit and may be provided directly by the person or by their authorized representative.
We prefer to obtain explicit consent, whether verbally, electronically, or in writing. However, implicit consent can reasonably be inferred from a person’s actions or inaction. For example, providing a name and address to receive a publication or a name and phone number to get a response to a question is considered implicit consent to collect information containing personal information. To determine the appropriate type of consent, we consider the sensitivity of the personal information in question, the purposes for which it is collected, and the reasonable expectations of a person in a similar situation.
If we want to use personal information for a new purpose, we will describe the intended use and request consent again.
It is not always possible, especially in the case of a request from the government, to obtain a person’s consent to collect, use, or disclose their personal information. We commit to never disclose such information except in compliance with this Policy, unless required or permitted by law.
4. Purposes of Data Collection:
The information collected is in line with the purposes and objectives set out in this privacy policy. Here are the reasons why we collect your personal information:
- To provide newsletters: We will collect and process the data and information necessary to send you relevant content so you can stay informed about news regarding our company and products.
- To process your job applications: We will collect and process data shared when you apply on our jobs page to contact you as part of the hiring process.

- To process your application for a content creator partnership program: We will collect and process data shared through your application as a content creator partner to assess your admission to the program and to contact you.
- To protect the privacy of our users: The data collected allows us to verify the identity and protect the privacy of individuals who communicate with us by phone, electronically, or otherwise.
- To comply with legal obligations: Data is collected to comply with obligations arising from laws, regulations, or international treaties.
5. Personal Information Collected:
Yellow Brick Games may collect personal information in various forms but will do so only through lawful means and solely for the purposes necessary and disclosed to you, as described in this Policy, or as permitted or required by law.
The personal information collected, as well as its sensitivity, may vary depending on the context of the interactions between you and Yellow Brick Games. Therefore, we prioritize informing you about the nature of the personal information we use.

7. Processing Methods Used:
Yellow Brick Games places the utmost importance on the security of your personal information and is committed to processing it according to industry standards and practices, solely for the purposes for which it is collected as described in this Policy or in a specific notice. However, the absolute safeguarding of this information is impossible given the inherent security limitations of transmission over the Internet. Therefore, the information transmitted to us is ultimately at the user’s own risk.
8. Access and Control of Personal Information:
Yellow Brick Games ensures that all personal information in its possession is as accurate, current, and complete as necessary for the purposes for which it is used.
You have the right to request access to your personal information for verification and request correction if it is inaccurate. If you believe your personal information is inaccurate or if you wish to access your personal information, you can make a request using the contact information provided at the end of this Policy.
To the extent of our capabilities, we will provide you with timely access to your personal information. However, for security purposes, we may need to verify your identity.
There may be circumstances where we cannot provide you with access to your personal information. For example, when access may lead to the disclosure of another person’s personal information, and that person refuses to consent to the disclosure, or when legal restrictions apply. If such a situation arises, we will inform you of the reason why we cannot provide you with access to your personal information.
If your request concerns data that appears on third-party web pages or platforms, please contact those third parties directly.
9. Sharing and Reasons for Sharing Personal Information with Third Parties:
We do not share your personal information with companies, organizations, or individuals outside of Yellow Brick Games, except for our authorized suppliers and partners who need access to the information for the purposes listed in this policy and within its limits, as well as in the following cases:
- With your consent.
- For storage in cloud servers, in which case personal information may transit through third-party jurisdictions. Note that we only engage reputable companies with privacy policies.
- For legal reasons: We may disclose personal information outside our company if access to it is necessary to comply with applicable laws and regulations.
- Yellow Brick Games is committed to not selling or renting your personal information to a third party.
10. Use of Cookies and Similar Technologies:
Yellow Brick Games may use cookies, Internet tags, invisible pixels, log files, or other technologies to collect certain personal information about website visitors, as well as recipients of our newsletters, invitations, and other communications. Cookies are information elements transmitted by the server to the browser during a website visit, uniquely identifying the current connection.

6-Yellow Brick Games - About
Founded in 2020
Yellow Brick Games came from the vision of industry veterans wanting to make the process of game creation as fun and meaningful as the final result. Driven by a human and ethical approach to game development and inspired by our warrior princess Dorothée, the idea was to make each moment down the road count, brick by brick. Growing over 30 employees in its first year, Yellow Brick Games is now a collection of over 60 shiny bricks, all working on the studio’s debut title.
Our Focus
We believe in digital playgrounds: deeply interactive spaces where player creativity can shine. To this end we are crafting spaces with strong, learnable rulesets, intriguing reasons to explore and achieve, and encouraging our players to develop their own solutions and playstyles.
Our Values
Ours is a culture of commitment, where the team guides the work that can be done in each block of time, and each member accepts responsibility for and commitment to their own deadlines. We take wellness seriously, and our schedules are designed with flex in mind to account for the unpredictable. Building a healthy culture is equally important as developing great titles.
