Cavescape Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 4, 2026

This policy explains how Gargantua Games (“we”, “us”) handles information when you play Cavescape on Steam or visit joincavescape.com.

1. Who is responsible

Gargantua Games is the developer of Cavescape and the controller of the information described in this policy. For privacy questions, use the contact details at the bottom.

2. Information we handle

Cavescape is a Steam game. Most account data stays with Steam. We only use what is needed to run multiplayer, voice, and the game itself.

On your device

• Display name, audio/graphics settings, and similar preferences stored locally (Unity PlayerPrefs)
• Local save data for game progress
• Microphone access, only if you use voice chat and your operating system allows it

Online multiplayer

When you host or join an online session, Unity Gaming Services process:

• An anonymous Unity player ID (the game signs in anonymously; it does not log into Unity with your Steam account)
• Your display name, lobby name, public/private status, player count, and selected Relay region
• A short-lived join code so other players can connect
• Gameplay traffic through Unity Relay (your IP address is used to keep the session connected)
• Approximate region latency so the game can pick a server region

Public lobby names and player counts can be seen by other players browsing public lobbies. Your join code is visible to people in the session, and to anyone you share an invite link with.

Voice chat

• If voice chat is enabled, live microphone audio is sent through Unity Vivox to other players in the same session
• Your in-world position is sent to Vivox so nearby players hear you more loudly (proximity voice)
• Your display name is used as your Vivox name in that session
• We do not record, transcribe, or keep voice audio after the session ends
• You can mute yourself or disable voice chat

Other players can hear what you say. Do not share passwords, payment details, or other private information over voice.

Steam

If you play through Steam, Valve may process your Steam ID, friends list, rich presence (for example that you are hosting and a join code), and gameplay stats we send to Steam (such as souls earned and spent). Steam’s own privacy policy covers Steam accounts, purchases, and the Steam Overlay.

Invite website

Invite links on joincavescape.com only contain a session join code. The site tries to open Cavescape through Steam. The website host (currently Cloudflare) may collect normal web logs such as IP address, browser type, and the page requested. We do not create accounts on that site.

3. Why we use this information

• To let you host, find, and join multiplayer sessions
• To provide proximity voice chat
• To remember your name and settings on this device
• To show friends you are hosting a game on Steam
• To keep Steam stats in sync
• To keep the game and voice services working and secure

If you are in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or a similar jurisdiction, we rely on performing the game service you asked for, and on our legitimate interest in running a stable multiplayer game. Microphone access is optional and used only for voice chat.

4. Who we share information with

We share information only with the services that run the game:

• Valve Corporation (Steam) — store, accounts, friends, rich presence, and stats. See Steam’s Privacy Policy.
• Unity Technologies — Authentication, Lobby, Relay, Quality of Service, and Vivox voice. See Unity’s Privacy Policy.

These companies may process data in the United States and other countries. We do not sell your information and we do not share it for advertising.

Other players in your session can see your display name, hear your voice if you are unmuted, and receive the gameplay data needed to play together.

5. How long we keep it

• Voice: not stored by us
• Lobby and session data: only while the session or lobby is active
• Unity anonymous ID: until you reinstall the game or the service clears it
• Local settings and saves: on your device until you delete them or uninstall the game
• Steam stats and rich presence: handled by Steam under Steam’s policies
• Website logs: only as long as the host keeps ordinary server logs

6. Children

Cavescape is not directed at children under 13. Public lobbies and voice chat are meant for older players. If you are a parent and believe a child under 13 has used these features, contact us and we will help as we reasonably can.

7. Your choices and rights

• You can play without voice chat, mute your microphone, or refuse microphone permission
• You can use a private lobby or an invite-only session instead of a public lobby
• You can change or clear your display name in the game settings
• You can delete local settings and saves by uninstalling the game or clearing its data

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to ask what information we have, correct it, delete it, or restrict how it is used. We do not collect an email address inside the game, so we may need you to give us enough detail (for example your Steam name and approximate play time) to find any session records that still exist. Steam account requests should go to Steam.

California residents: we do not sell or share personal information as those terms are used in the CCPA/CPRA.

8. Security

We use established third-party services (Steam, Unity, Vivox) to carry account, session, and voice data. No online service is completely secure. Anyone with your invite link or join code can try to join that session.

9. Changes

If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. If we start recording voice, adding accounts, or collecting new categories of personal information, we will update this policy before those features go live.
