Privacy Policy

Effective date: November 12, 2026 · Last updated: November 12, 2026

The short version. We collect your email address so we can tell you when testing for Varkan opens. We don't sell it, we don't share it for advertising, we don't track you, and you can delete it with one tap.

1. Who we are

Varkan and playvarkan.com are run by Guldenaar SpA, Avenida Padre Hurtado Norte 1735, depto. D301, Santiago, Chile ("we", "us"). Legal representative: Roberto Guldenaar Cerda. Under the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), Guldenaar SpA is the controller of your personal data. Contact: [email protected].

2. What we collect

When you sign up, we collect:

• your email address;
• the language of the page you signed up on;
• the date and time you signed up and confirmed, and the version of the text you agreed to.

When you visit the site, our hosting provider, Railway, processes technical data such as your IP address and browser type, to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. These server logs are kept for a short time.

That's all. We don't ask for your name, age, country or phone number, and we don't obtain data about you from anyone else.

3. How we use it

• To tell you when testing for Varkan opens, and to send you important news about the game, rarely.
• To write to you in your language.
• To be able to show that you gave your consent.
• To keep the site running and secure (server logs only).

We don't use your data for anything else: no advertising, no profiling and no automated decisions.

4. Legal basis (if you are in the EEA or the UK)

• Our emails: your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), which you give by ticking the box and confirming from your inbox. You can withdraw it at any time; doing so doesn't affect anything we did before.
• Consent records and server logs: our legitimate interest in being able to show that you consented, and in keeping the site secure (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).

5. Who we share it with

We never sell or share your email. We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

We only use service providers we need to make this work, and they process your data on our behalf and may not use it for anything else:

• Railway: hosts this site and stores the sign-up list;
• Resend: sends our emails;
• Cloudflare: manages our domain and forwards the emails you send us.

We may also disclose information if the law requires us to.

6. International transfers

We are based in Chile. Railway stores data in the United States and Resend in Brazil. When data leaves the EEA or the UK, we rely on the safeguards the law requires, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

7. How long we keep it

• While you stay subscribed. If you unsubscribe, your email is deleted immediately.
• If you signed up but never confirmed, we delete your email after 30 days.
• So that your unsubscribe still holds if we ever have to restore a backup, we keep a one-way fingerprint of your address (not the address itself) for 60 days.
• At most, we keep the list until 12 months after Varkan launches. If the project is cancelled, we'll send you one last email and delete the list.
• Server logs: a short time.

8. Unsubscribing

Every email has a one-tap unsubscribe link. It works immediately, with no login and no confirmation step. You can also write to [email protected].

9. Your rights

Wherever you live, you can ask us to show you your data, correct it, delete it, give you a copy, or stop using it. Write to [email protected]. It's free, and we answer within 30 days. To protect your data, we may ask you to confirm the request from the email address you signed up with.

• In the EEA or the UK, you also have the right to restrict how we use your data, and to complain to a data protection authority: in the EU, the authority of your country (listed at edpb.europa.eu); in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
• In the United States, some states give residents similar rights. We honor them for everyone. We will never treat you differently for using them.
• In Chile, you can complain to the Agencia de Protección de Datos Personales.

10. Children

Sign-up is for people aged 14 and over. This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data. If you believe a child has signed up, write to us and we'll delete their data.

11. Cookies and tracking

This site uses no cookies at all, for tracking, advertising or anything else. Because we don't track you, there is nothing for a Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signal to switch off: every visitor is treated as if they had sent one.

12. Emails

We don't track whether you open our emails or which links you click.

13. Security

We protect your data with reasonable technical and organizational measures, and only the people who run Varkan, and the providers listed above, can access the list. No system is perfectly secure, but we keep as little as possible so there is little to lose.

14. Changes

If we change anything important on this page, we'll email you before it takes effect and update the date at the top.
