Money and links
Today this site has no affiliate links, no sponsored pages and no ads. Links to shops and product pages are plain links, and nobody pays for a place on a page.
If we add affiliate links later, the page will say so next to the first such link, the links will be marked as sponsored, and this page will list the programmes. A product is never recommended because it pays.
Independence
DayOneWire is not affiliated with, sponsored or endorsed by Rockstar Games, Take-Two Interactive, Sony or Microsoft. We receive no early copies, hardware or payments from them.
Privacy
We use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which answers are useful. Google processes this data for us. We run no advertising trackers, and advertising cookies are switched off.
In the UK, the EU, the EEA and Switzerland, Google Analytics loads only if you choose Allow in the cookie notice. If you say no, nothing is sent to Google Analytics. Elsewhere it is on by default, and you can turn it off with the button below or with the Cookie choice link at the bottom of every page.
When it is on, it sets the cookies _ga and _ga_YMMV2L1HET, which last up to two years, and receives the page address, the referring page, your browser and device type and an approximate location derived from your IP address. Saying no later removes those cookies. How Google uses this data.
Your choice is stored in your browser, not on our servers. Our hosting provider also processes technical request data, such as IP addresses, to deliver pages and stop abuse.
The email list
If you sign up for the unlock alert, DayOneWire ([operator's legal name: to be added]) is responsible for your data. Contact: hello@dayonewire.com.
What we store: your email address; the country Cloudflare detects from your connection when you sign up; the country you pick, if you pick one; your browser's time zone and language; the page and form you used; the version of the consent text you agreed to and when; when you confirmed or unsubscribed; and a record of the emails we sent you. The confirm and unsubscribe links carry codes that we store only in scrambled (hashed) form.
Why: to send the emails you asked for (the unlock alert, launch-week updates and a weekly roundup) at the right time for your country, and to be able to show that you agreed. The legal basis is your consent, and you can withdraw it at any time.
Bot protection: the form uses Cloudflare Turnstile. It loads only when you start using the form and checks that a person is filling it in; Cloudflare processes technical signals from your browser for that (Turnstile privacy notice). The basis is our legitimate interest in stopping fake sign-ups. To limit repeated attempts we keep a scrambled (hashed) form of your IP address for up to two days; we never store the address itself.
Who handles it: Cloudflare stores the list and sends the emails for us. Cloudflare is a US company, so the data may be processed outside the UK and the EU, under Cloudflare's data processing terms. We never sell or rent your address.
How long we keep it: while you are subscribed. A sign-up that is not confirmed within 30 days is deleted. When you unsubscribe, your address is deleted straight away; we keep only its hashed form and the dates of your consent and of your unsubscribe, so we can show that you agreed and never email you by mistake. The record of sent emails is deleted after 12 months.
Unsubscribe and your rights: every email has a one-click unsubscribe link. You can also reply to any email, or write to hello@dayonewire.com, with the word unsubscribe. At the same address you can ask for a copy of your data or for its deletion. You can complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).
The list is for people aged 18 or over.
