privacy notice
Creative Destruction: Classic is an independent fan-run project. This notice covers our waitlist.
what we collect
The waitlist collects your email address, optional Discord username and chosen region (US or EU). We also record the PC platform and the time you sign up. You must agree to this privacy notice before joining.
why we collect it
We use these details to manage the waitlist, send closed-test invitations and share Creative Destruction: Classic updates. Your region helps us plan testing for US and EU servers.
how we protect it
Your waitlist details are never sold. They are stored with our hosting and database provider to operate the waitlist. The public player count shows only the total number of signups; it does not expose email addresses, Discord usernames or individual signup details.
anonymous visit counts
We count page views, button and link clicks, FAQ opens, video plays, how far pages are scrolled, waitlist form steps, and where visits come from (referring website, campaign tags, country, device type, browser, language and screen size range). This is anonymous: we use no cookies, no fingerprinting and no third-party trackers, and we never store your IP address. A random visit ID lives only in your browser tab and disappears when you close it. If your browser sends Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control, we count nothing. If you join the waitlist, the referring website and campaign tags of your visit are saved with your signup. Visit counts are kept for 12 months.
spam prevention
We limit waitlist submissions to five attempts per IP address in a 15-minute window. We store a rotating, keyed hash of the address, not the raw IP address, to enforce this limit. Expired protection records are removed during subsequent signup requests.
request deletion
You can withdraw your consent and request deletion of your waitlist details by contacting the project team through Discord #support. Tell the team which email address you used through a private support conversation, not in a public channel. The team may ask you to confirm that the address belongs to you.
