Harvest Siege Privacy Notice
Last updated 4 September 2026
Harvest Siege is a free, independently developed hobby game operated from the United Kingdom. This notice explains what information is processed when you visit or play Harvest Siege.
Information we process
Harvest Siege does not require accounts and does not collect real names, player-selected usernames, payment information or advertising data. To provide the website and multiplayer game, limited information may be processed automatically, including:
- your IP address and basic browser, device and connection information
- temporary connection and player identifiers
- your randomly assigned display name
- lobby, match and gameplay activity
- technical, error and security information
If you contact us by email, we will also process the information contained in your message.
Why we process it
We process this information where necessary for our legitimate interests in:
- delivering the website and multiplayer game
- connecting players and running matches
- maintaining security and preventing abuse
- diagnosing technical problems
- responding to enquiries
We do not use this information for advertising, marketing or profiling.
Storage and retention
Live lobby and match information is normally held only for the relevant session. Harvest Siege does not maintain persistent player profiles or gameplay histories.
Technical and security information may be retained temporarily where necessary to operate, diagnose or protect the service. Cloudflare and DigitalOcean may retain infrastructure logs according to their own policies and configured retention periods.
Emails are kept only for as long as reasonably necessary to respond and maintain an appropriate record of the enquiry.
Service providers and international processing
Harvest Siege uses:
- Cloudflare to deliver and protect the website
- DigitalOcean to host the website and multiplayer servers
These providers may process IP addresses and other technical information on our behalf. Because they operate internationally, information may be processed outside the United Kingdom using the legal safeguards provided by those providers.
Information may also be disclosed when legally required or reasonably necessary to protect the game, its players or others.
Cookies and local storage
Harvest Siege does not use cookies or similar technologies for advertising or analytics. Cloudflare may use strictly necessary cookies or similar technologies for security and network management. The game may also use temporary browser storage where technically necessary to operate a session.
Changes to this notice
We may update this notice when the game, its providers or its data practices change. The effective date above will show when it was last updated.
