Privacy policy

This policy explains what Megajam collects, why, and what you can do about it. Megajam exists to match people into game jam teams, so most of what we hold is information you chose to publish so that teams can find you.

What we collect

• Account details. Your email address, and a backup email if you add one. Signing in is by emailed link or by Google or Discord, so we never store a password.
• Your profile. Handle, display name, timezone, experience and commitment level, portfolio link, and the roles, tools, engines, and genres you list as skills. This is the part other jammers search.
• Jam and team activity. Which jams you register for, which teams you join, the applications and invitations you send and receive.
• Billing. Paid plans are handled by Stripe. Stripe holds the card details; we store a customer reference, your plan, and its renewal date.
• Technical data. Session records including IP address and browser user agent, kept so you can stay signed in and so we can investigate abuse.

What other people can see

Your profile, skills, and the teams you are on are visible to other signed-in Megajam users — that is the point of the product. Your email address is not shown on your profile. It becomes visible to a specific person only when you invite them by email, since the invitation comes from you.

Why we are allowed to hold it

We process account and activity data to provide the service you signed up for. We process billing data to fulfil a contract with you. We process session and security data on the basis of our legitimate interest in keeping accounts safe.

How long we keep it

Account data is kept while your account exists. Sign-in links, invitation tokens, and recovery links expire within minutes or hours and are deleted after that. Deleting your account removes your profile, registrations, memberships, applications, and invitations; teams you were on pass to a remaining member, and a team with no members left is removed entirely.

Your choices

• Edit or clear any profile field from your settings at any time.
• Withdraw from a jam, leave a team, or decline a request without giving a reason.
• Request a copy of your data, or ask us to delete your account.
