Privacy Policy

Updated October 16, 2025 (Website Created)

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how EA 4 ALL collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards your information when you participate in our petition. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring your data is handled responsibly. If you have any questions, contact us at hello@ea4all.com.

What We Collect

We collect only the minimum information necessary to operate the petition effectively and securely. This includes:

  • Steam Display Name (required): Your Steam display name, which may be shown publicly on the signature list.
  • Steam ID (required, never displayed): Used for verification and to prevent duplicate signatures. We do not share or display your Steam ID publicly.
  • Steam Avatar URL (required, may be displayed): Your Steam profile avatar URL, which may be shown publicly alongside your Steam display name on the signature list.
  • Comment (optional): Any additional message you provide, which may be displayed publicly alongside your Steam display name and avatar.
  • Opt-in to email updates: A voluntary choice to receive rare progress updates about the campaign. Note: We do not collect email addresses directly, but Steam may provide an email for opt-in purposes if you choose this option.
  • Technical logs: For security purposes, we log details such as IP address, user agent (browser type), timestamp, and device information. These are used solely to detect and prevent abuse, such as spam or automated submissions.

We do not collect sensitive personal information such as payment details, location data (beyond IP-derived approximations for security), or any demographic data unless voluntarily provided in comments.

How We Use It

Your information is used exclusively for the following purposes:

  • To process and verify your petition signature using your Steam ID.
  • To prevent abuse, including detecting duplicate submissions, bots, or fraudulent activity through analysis of logs and patterns.
  • If you opt in, to send occasional email updates on campaign progress (e.g., milestone achievements or calls to action). These emails will always include an unsubscribe link.
  • To improve site security and functionality based on aggregated, anonymized log data.

We do not use your data for marketing, profiling, or any purposes unrelated to this petition. No automated decision-making or profiling occurs with your data.

How Long We Keep It

Signatures and associated data are retained for the duration of the campaign to maintain an accurate record. Technical logs are kept for up to 90 days for security auditing, after which they are deleted. You may request removal of your signature and data at any time by emailing hello@ea4all.com. We will process such requests within 30 days, subject to verification.

Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. Sharing is limited to:

  • Public display: Only your Steam display name, Steam avatar URL, and optional comment are shown on public signature lists. Steam IDs and other details remain private.
  • Service providers: We may use trusted third-party services (e.g., Steam for authentication or email providers for updates) that comply with similar privacy standards. These providers are bound by contracts to use data only for the specified purpose and not retain it.
  • Legal requirements: We may disclose data if required by law, such as in response to a court order or to protect our rights, safety, or property.

No data is shared with Javalin or any EA affiliates beyond what's necessary for internal operations, as Javalin is an EA product and no external collaboration is involved.

Security

We employ industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including:

  • Encryption of data in transit (HTTPS) and at rest where applicable.
  • Access controls and regular security audits.
  • Minimal data storage to reduce risk.
  • Monitoring for suspicious activity.

While no system is completely secure, we strive to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction.

Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies solely to enable sign-in functionality with Steam for users who choose this authentication method. These cookies are strictly necessary for the authentication process and do not track your browsing behavior across sites or devices. We do not use tracking pixels or analytics tools that collect personal data.

Your Rights and Choices

You have control over your data:

  • Opt-in/out of updates: Choose during signup or unsubscribe via any email link.
  • Access and correction: Request a copy of your data or corrections by emailing hello@ea4all.com.
  • Deletion: Request removal of your signature and data at hello@ea4all.com. We may retain anonymized data for statistical purposes.
  • Objection: If applicable under laws like GDPR or CCPA, you may object to processing or request restrictions.

We comply with applicable privacy laws, including GDPR for EU residents and CCPA for California residents. If you believe your rights have been violated, contact us or your local data protection authority.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy periodically. Changes will be posted here with the updated date. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance.
