We at Rebel are committed to creating a free and open source software community. Development of Rebel Engine and the other tools, modules, and add-ons is led by and focuses on the needs and wants of our users: game developers.

Our community is safe, friendly and engaging for everyone; especially under-represented groups. We appreciate diversity of thought, distinct viewpoints and varied experiences.

This privacy policy explains how Rebel collects and uses your personal data.

What data do we collect and why do we collect it?

We collect your data only in those specific contexts that allow Rebel to communicate with you:

Newsletter subscription

You may opt into our newsletter. If you do, your email address and name will be stored by Sender.net who we use as our email automation tool. The sole purpose of this is to enable us to send you the newsletter. The Sender.net privacy policy is available at https://www.sender.net/privacy-policy.

You can unsubscribe at any time which will delete your email address and name from the list. 

Alternatively, if you would like us to take you off the list, please email us at privacy@rebeltoolbox.com.

Support requests and feedback

If you get in touch with us via email, we will keep your email address for the sole purpose of communicating with you until the issue is resolved and confirmed as such by you. If requested, once the issue is resolved, we will delete your email address. An anonymized summary of the issue may be kept for bug reporting.

Comments

When you leave comments on the website, we collect the data shown in the comments form; as well as your IP address and browser user-agent string which is used to help spam detection.

If you create an account with Rebel, an anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.) from other websites. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

If you have any questions about those websites’ privacy policies, the data they hold on you, or you would like to exercise one of your data protection rights, please contact these websites directly.

Who we share your data with

We do not share your data without your prior consent.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

If you create an account with Rebel, we store personal data provided in your user profile. You can see, edit and delete your personal information at any time. Website administrators can also see and edit that information. If you delete your account, all this data will be deleted.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account with Rebel, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we correct or erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal or security purposes.

If you make a request, we will deal with your request as soon as possible and no later than within one month. If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at our email: privacy@rebeltoolbox.com
