Privacy

Fonts and images are served from this server. Three Google services can be loaded, each described below: Google Analytics only if you allow it, reCAPTCHA on the contact and YouTube claims forms, and YouTube on the Demoscene page.

Who is responsible

Valtone Oy is the controller of the personal data collected on this site. Write to info@purplemotion.net with any question about it.

Analytics and cookies

With your permission, this site uses Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are read. It then sets the cookies _ga and _ga_*, which last up to two years, and Google receives your IP address and browser details. Advertising features are switched off. Nothing is loaded from Google Analytics until you choose Allow analytics. Your choice is kept in your browser’s local storage, not in a cookie, and is not sent anywhere. Analytics runs on your consent, which you can withdraw at any time with the button below.

Forms

If you send a message from the contact page or a whitelisting request from the YouTube claims page, the details you enter (such as your name, email address, channel and video addresses, and your message) are stored on this site and emailed to us so we can reply. We use them only to answer your request and share them with no one. The copy stored on this site is deleted automatically 12 months after you send it.

Both forms are protected from spam by Google reCAPTCHA, in our legitimate interest in keeping the forms usable. Its script loads when you start filling in the form, not before. Google then receives your IP address, browser details and how you use the page, and may set cookies. The Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.

Videos

Pressing a Play button on the Demoscene page loads that video from YouTube (youtube-nocookie.com) into the page, and the player also contacts other Google services. YouTube and Google then receive your IP address and browser details and may store data in your browser. Nothing is loaded from YouTube until you press Play.

Diskmags

Pressing Run on a diskmag on the Demoscene page loads a DOS emulator and the mag from this site; no other site is contacted. The emulator keeps a copy of each mag you run and its display setting in your browser’s storage, so the mag starts faster next time. They are not sent anywhere, and clearing this site’s data in your browser removes them.

Server logs and links

The web server keeps standard access logs (IP address, time, requested address and browser) to keep the site running and secure. A security firewall (Wordfence) on the server also checks each request and records the IP addresses of blocked or suspicious ones. Both rest on our legitimate interest in protecting the site. Neither is used to identify visitors or shared with anyone.

The music links lead to Bandcamp, YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. Other links lead to jonnevaltonen.com, Jonne Valtonen’s own site, valtone.com, the site of his company, and Demozoo and Wikipedia for demoscene history. Once you follow one, that site’s own privacy policy applies.

Your rights

You can ask to see the personal data we hold about you, and to have it corrected or deleted. You can also ask us to restrict its use or object to it. Write to info@purplemotion.net. If you think we handle your data unlawfully, you can complain to the Data Protection Ombudsman of Finland (tietosuoja.fi).
