How long we retain your contact form data

We do not use this information for marketing, and we delete contact form submissions periodically as part of routine site maintenance.

Platform & Storefront Integration Data (Steam & Epic Games Store)

When you play Deadly Match, the game interacts with the official online subsystems of your chosen distribution platform (Valve Steam or the Epic Games Store). To comply with platform requirements, we outline our data practices below:

1. How Data is Captured

Epic Games Store Build: The game automatically captures a unique, anonymous alphanumeric token called a Product User ID (PUID) and Account ID provided natively by Epic Games Services when launched via the Epic Games Launcher.

Steam Build: The game automatically captures your unique, anonymous 64-bit Steam ID (SteamID64) provided natively by the Steamworks API when launched via the Steam Client.

Note: Aside from the optional email opt-in described below, the game does not capture, request, or have access to any personal data, such as your real name, physical address, or financial payment methods.

Email Opt-In (Epic Games Store only): When purchasing or claiming the game on the Epic Games Store, you may be shown a checkbox to share your email address with Belba Games Pty Ltd to receive updates and offers. This is entirely optional and controlled by you via Epic’s storefront. If you opt in, see “Marketing Email Collection” below for how we handle that email.

2. How Data is Used

We use these anonymous platform identifiers strictly to verify your legitimate ownership of the game, initialize your local gameplay sessions, and track your in-game progress.

This data is used to securely synchronize your game statistics, unlock in-game achievements, and update your user-facing Experience Points (XP) profile on your respective storefront account.

3. How Data is Shared

We do not share your data. No gameplay analytics, progression metrics, or platform tokens are shared with, sold to, or processed by third-party advertising companies, analytical firms, or external private servers.

All transaction data and profile handshakes are processed natively and exclusively through the secure, first-party network infrastructure provided by Valve Corporation (for Steam) and Epic Games, Inc. (for the Epic Games Store).

4. How Data is Retained

We do not retain or store your data on private servers. Because we do not operate external game servers or custom account databases, we do not hold your information.

All achievement progression and player profile statistics are retained globally and permanently by Valve Corporation and Epic Games, Inc. within their secure cloud networks, subject to their respective platform user privacy agreements. Local configuration data is retained only on your personal machine within your local game save files.

Marketing Email Collection (Epic Games Store)

When you get our game via the Epic Games Store, you may be asked whether to share your email address with Belba Games Pty Ltd to receive updates and offers. If you opt in, we use that email solely to send occasional updates and offers about our games. We do not share it with third parties. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in any email we send, or by contacting support@belbagames.com. We use Sender to manage and send these emails. We retain your email until you unsubscribe or request deletion.
