Newsletter

If you sign up, we keep your email address so we can send you WLG news: showcase reminders, premieres and interviews. Every email has an unsubscribe link, and you can ask us to delete your address at any time.

Grant applications

When you apply for a grant, we collect what the form asks for: your name, email, pronouns (optional), role, studio, team size and country, plus your answers about your game, your team and your budget, and any links you share. We use this only to review your application and contact you about it. Only WLG's grant review panel and board can see it.

Emails you send us

If you email us, we keep the conversation so we can reply and follow up, for example about a submission, a partnership or a donation.

We keep personal information only for as long as we need it for these purposes, and we never sell it or share it for advertising.

The public site doesn't set any cookies. The only cookie is a sign-in cookie for WLG's editors, set when they log in to the admin area.

Some features remember things in your own browser (local storage). This stays on your device: we can't see it, and it isn't used to track you. You can clear it at any time from your browser's settings.

• Trading card collection. Your cards, packs and glitter from the card game on the home page.
• Worm high score. Your best score in the Worm game on the handheld.
• Sound on/off. Whether you muted the home page's sound effects.
• Boot screen. That you've already seen the start-up screen this visit, so it doesn't play again.
• Grant application draft. Your unfinished grant application, so you don't lose your answers.

• Vercel hosts the site. Like any web server, it keeps short-lived technical logs (such as IP addresses) to keep the site running and secure.
• Supabase stores grant applications and the blog.
• Brevo stores newsletter subscribers and sends our emails.
• YouTube videos on showcase and blog pages use YouTube's privacy-enhanced mode. When you play one, YouTube's own privacy policy applies.
• Steam serves the game trailers on the home page, which load from Steam's servers only when you play one.

These providers may process data outside your country, including in the United States. Links to other sites (Steam, social media, studio websites) are covered by those sites' own policies.

You can ask us to show you, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to stop using it. Email hello@womenledgames.com and we'll reply as soon as we can. If you're unhappy with how we've handled your data, you can also complain to your local data protection authority.

If we change how we handle your information, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
