SUTURE WAKE (formerly HOLLOW HOST) privacy policy

Game CREEP Studio · Last updated 15 October 2026

SUTURE WAKE (formerly HOLLOW HOST) is an offline-capable single-player game developed by Game CREEP Studio. You do not need a game account. This policy covers the Android game, its optional playtest measurements and written feedback.

Your choice

Playtest analytics are disabled until you explicitly enable them. You can decline and play normally. You can change this choice in Settings → Playtest analytics. Written feedback is a separate action: it is sent only when you press SEND, even if analytics are disabled. Internet access is used for these optional submissions.

What is collected

With analytics enabled, the game sends a random installation identifier, random session and run identifiers, timestamps, game version, platform, selected language, active play time, movement and aiming durations, shots, tutorial steps, room and floor visits, run outcomes, character and weapon identifiers, semantic button actions, and coarse initial control-touch cells on a 12 × 8 grid. These measurements help us find confusing controls, bugs and balance problems. A random installation code can distinguish installations; it is not proof of a distinct person.

Written feedback includes the text you submit (up to 1,500 characters), category, version and session/gameplay context. Please do not include personal information. With analytics disabled, a feedback submission uses a new random identifier instead of the previous analytics installation identifier.

We do not request your name, email, contacts, advertising identifier, precise location, camera or microphone. We do not record your screen, audio, keyboard, or a replay of your session. Events suppress IP-based geolocation and use a placeholder IP in analytics properties. Network providers necessarily process connection information, such as your IP address, to deliver HTTPS requests; it is not used by us to locate you or build advertising profiles.

Service provider and purpose

Optional submissions are sent over HTTPS to our existing PostHog Cloud project hosted in the United States. PostHog processes the data for Game CREEP Studio to analyze playtests and handle feedback or deletion requests. We do not sell these data, use them for targeted advertising, or share them with advertising networks. There are no advertising or analytics SDKs in the game; it sends a limited set of events through its own HTTP client.

See PostHog’s privacy information. Google Play and any distribution website process their own account, download and security information under their respective policies.

Local storage, retention and deletion

Your game progress and settings stay on your device. Optional submissions may be queued locally while offline and retried later. Turning analytics off removes pending analytics and stops future measurement events. Explicit feedback or deletion requests already queued may still be sent.

We retain submitted data while needed to evaluate this development playtest, investigate problems and handle feedback, unless you request deletion. The current PostHog query window is not a guarantee of automatic erasure; automatic time-based deletion is not configured. We review the need to retain playtest data as development progresses.

Use Settings → Playtest analytics → REQUEST DELETION to send a deletion request associated with your random installation code. This immediately disables analytics. Requests are queued if offline and handled by the team; pressing the button is not an immediate server-side purge. Uninstalling removes local progress and preferences but does not itself erase previously submitted data.

For assistance or privacy requests, contact reglasgow.97@gmail.com with “SUTURE WAKE (formerly HOLLOW HOST) privacy” in the subject. If you submitted feedback without analytics, quote the message and approximate date so we can locate it; we may be unable to associate anonymous submissions without enough context. Do not send passwords or identity documents. We will respond within applicable legal time limits. Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict processing of your data, withdraw consent, or complain to a data protection authority.

Audience and updates

This horror game contains stylized blood and body horror and is intended for adults, not children. We do not knowingly solicit children’s personal data. Material changes to this policy will be reflected here and in the game’s consent information where needed.
