LEGAL
Orion Blue is a cozy fishing adventure built by EXLIX, a small indie studio, really just a handful of people who like fish, alien planets, and slow games. We're not a company with a legal department or a data team, and this page exists because every website needs one, not because we have some elaborate data operation to disclose. So here's the honest version, written the way we'd actually explain it if you asked us in person: almost nothing happens to your information when you visit this site. The rest of this page walks through exactly what "almost nothing" means, service by service, so there's no fine print hiding anywhere.
This site is about as simple as websites get, and that's on purpose. It's a static page (a couple of HTML files, some images, and a handful of videos) with no server sitting behind it processing requests, no database storing anything about you, no login system, and no forms anywhere for you to fill out. There's nothing here that asks for your name, your email address, or anything else, because there's nothing built to receive it. When you load this page, your browser downloads the files it needs to display it, and that's the entire transaction. We don't see who you are, we don't know you were here beyond an anonymous hit in a traffic count, and we couldn't identify you individually even if we wanted to; the site simply isn't wired to do that.
The site does link out to a few places, and once you click through, you're no longer on our site; you're on theirs, playing by their rules. Here's what happens with each one.
When you click "Add to Wishlist on Steam," you leave this site and land on Valve's storefront. From that point on, you're interacting with Steam, not with us, and everything that happens next (account creation, wishlisting, purchases, whatever data Steam collects to run its platform) falls under Valve's own privacy policy, which you can read directly on their site. We don't receive any personal data back from that interaction. The only thing we ever see is an aggregate wishlist count, the same rough number any developer with a Steam page gets shown, with no way to tie it back to any individual visitor.
The "Watch Trailer" button sends you to YouTube, which is owned by Google. Once you're there, Google's privacy policy governs whatever happens next: video recommendations, watch history, ad personalization if you're signed into a Google account, all of it. We deliberately don't embed the video player directly on this page, because doing that would quietly load Google's tracking scripts into our site without really telling you. Sending you to YouTube outright is more honest, even if it costs us a click.
The Windows installer is hosted on GitHub Releases, so clicking "Download for Windows" takes you to GitHub's servers to fetch the file. GitHub has its own privacy policy covering how it handles download requests, IP addresses, and anything else tied to using their platform. We use GitHub because it's a reliable, free way to host a large file for a small project, not because it hands us any data about who's downloading.
We may use Cloudflare Web Analytics to get a rough sense of how many people visit the site, which pages they land on, and roughly what kind of device they're browsing from. We picked it specifically because it was built to avoid the usual tracking playbook: it doesn't use cookies, it doesn't fingerprint your browser or device to follow you between visits, and it doesn't sell or share anything with advertisers. What it gives us back is aggregate, not individual: total page views, top countries, a rough desktop-versus-mobile split, and none of it ties back to a specific person. We looked at Google Analytics before settling on this and passed on it deliberately, since it's built around persistent, cross-site tracking and a data pipeline that's a lot bigger than a small game website needs, or wants.
Cookies are small pieces of data a website stores in your browser, usually to remember who you are between visits, keep you signed in, or track what you've been looking at across sessions. This site doesn't use any of them. There's no login here to remember, no saved preferences, no shopping cart, no cross-visit tracking, nothing on this site that would give a cookie a reason to exist in the first place. There are no tracking pixels either, and no retargeting for ads. If you check your browser's storage after visiting, it should come back empty, because we never asked it to hold anything.
If you're in the European Union, GDPR gives you rights over your personal data: to see what's held about you, to correct it, or to have it deleted. If you're in California, CCPA works in a similar spirit. Both are worth knowing about in general, and we take them seriously as a matter of principle. In our specific case, though, there isn't a database of visitor data sitting anywhere for us to hand over or erase, because we never collected it in the first place. If you asked us tomorrow to delete everything we know about you, the honest answer is that there's genuinely nothing to delete.
