ARES SOFTWORKS LEGAL
Privacy Policy
Ares Softworks is designed to be a low-data personal blog. At launch, the site does not intentionally collect information about readers beyond the technical processing needed to deliver and protect the site.
Who operates this site
This site is operated by Ares Softworks LLC.
What we do not intentionally collect at launch
The launch version of Ares Softworks is intentionally simple and static.
- No analytics scripts or visitor measurement tools.
- No advertising pixels, retargeting, or behavioral advertising.
- No cookies, local storage, or similar browser tracking set by Ares Softworks.
- No user accounts, profiles, comments, or contact form submissions.
- No newsletter signup, email list, or on-site email address collection.
Hosting and technical information
When you visit the site, hosting, content delivery, DNS, security, or infrastructure providers may process technical information needed to serve the page. This can include information such as your IP address, browser or device details, requested URL, referring URL, and the date and time of the request.
Those providers may keep operational or security logs according to their own systems and policies. Ares Softworks does not use this technical information to build advertising profiles or target readers with marketing.
Cookies and similar technologies
Ares Softworks does not intentionally set cookies, local storage, tracking pixels, or similar technologies at launch.
Because the site does not currently use tracking technologies, browser Do Not Track signals do not change how the site behaves. If that changes, this policy will be updated before the new feature is launched.
Email collection, forms, and comments
There is no newsletter signup, email list, contact form, or comments feature at launch. Ares Softworks does not collect email addresses or messages through the site.
Messages sent through third-party platforms outside the site are handled by those platforms under their own privacy practices, not by this website.
If the site later adds any feature that collects information directly from readers, this policy will be reviewed and updated before that feature launches.
Affiliate links and external websites
Some links may point to third-party websites, stores, tools, books, games, or affiliate partners. If you click an external link, the destination site may collect information according to its own privacy policy.
Ares Softworks is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party websites. Review their policies before sharing personal information or making a purchase.
Children's privacy
Ares Softworks is written for a general audience interested in indie game development, career, and family life. It is not directed to children under 13, and the site does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Updates to this policy
This policy may be updated as the site changes. The effective date at the top of the page will be changed when updates are posted.
