Privacy

To know which pages are viewed and how many times, this site uses Cloudflare Web Analytics and Google Analytics. We do not collect your name or contact details (such as your email address), or information for advertising.

Cloudflare Web Analytics does not use cookies. What it counts are numbers in a form that cannot identify individuals, such as the pages viewed, the referrer (which site you came from), your approximate country, your browser and device type, and page load speed. For details, see Cloudflare Web Analytics and Cloudflare’s privacy policy.

We use Google Analytics to count how visitors move between pages and which links (such as the Steam page) are clicked. For this it uses cookies (a random number for each device). The data is set not to be used for Google advertising. If you visit from the European Economic Area, the UK or Switzerland, it runs without cookies. You can delete or block cookies in your device settings, and you can stop sending data with the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. For details, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

When you choose a language (日本語, English and so on) on the game pages, your choice is saved in the browser on your device (localStorage), so that the game pages open in the same language next time. The survey page also saves, in the same way, the random number for each browser described in 003 and the number of times answers have been sent from this device (these two are sent along with your answers). All of this is deleted when you clear your browser data.

The Steam version of Singing Attorney: Verdict by Midnight saves your progress (the record used to continue where you left off) and your settings (volume, text speed and so on) on your PC. This information is not sent to the developer’s servers. Valve’s privacy policy applies to your use of Steam.

Answers to the Singing Attorney: Verdict by Midnight feedback quiz (survey) are saved through Google Forms to the developer’s Google spreadsheet. We collect your impressions of the game, a nickname from those who want to give one, an age check from those who want their name listed (whether you are 16 or older, or, if you are under 16, whether a parent or guardian has said yes; we do not ask for your date of birth), and a code used to tell when the same person has answered more than once (a short code made from a random number for each browser and from your device type, screen size, language, time zone and similar details). We do not collect your name, your email address or other contact details, or your IP address.

Your impressions are used to make our games, and nicknames are used only to list in the “Special Thanks” section of the credits of the full game and the demo. We do not use answers for any other purpose, and we do not give them to any other person or company apart from Google, where they are stored. Answers will be deleted one year after the full game is released. Google’s privacy policy also applies to how answers are handled.

If you are under 16, please ask a parent or guardian for permission before asking us to list your name. If you are under 16 and have not asked a parent or guardian yet, we will not list your name (the survey page does not send it).

We handle survey answers on the basis of your consent. The party responsible for them is マンイチ（MANICHI GAMES）, listed in section 006.

You can withdraw your consent at any time. If you want us to stop listing your name, change your name, or see or delete your answers, enter the receipt number shown after you send your answers (it starts with “b-”) on the receipt number request page and send it (you can also contact us at the address in section 006). What you send on that page is saved in the same spreadsheet as the survey and used only to handle your request. Withdrawing does not affect how your answers were handled before you withdrew.

Because we do not collect email addresses or similar details, we may not be able to find your answers without the receipt number. In that case, please tell us the name you asked us to list and roughly when you sent your answers, and we will do what we can. After the full game is released, removing a name from the credits needs a game update, so it may take some time.

Because answers are stored with Google’s services, they may be handled outside your country, for example in Japan or the United States.

If you live in the European Economic Area, the UK or Switzerland, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in your country (EEA authorities: European Data Protection Board (EDPB) list; UK: ICO; Switzerland: FDPIC). You are also welcome to contact us first at section 006, and we will respond as soon as we can.
