Privacy policy

Last updated 9 November 2026

We collect as little as we can get away with. This page says what, why, and how to have it removed.

Who we are

Rugby League Director is an independent game made by The Burrow Digital, based in Australia. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by the NRL or any club. Questions about this policy go to hello@theburrow.digital.

What we collect

• Waitlist: your email address, and if you give them, your first name, the club you follow and whether you're a fan, press, investor or industry. We also record when you joined, the referral code that brought you here, the link tag that shows which post or page sent you, a hashed version of your IP address to stop abuse, and the referral code we gave you.
• Game accounts: a username and a password. The password is stored as a salted hash, never in plain text. We keep session cookies so you stay logged in, and short-term records of failed logins by account and address to lock out guessing.
• Playing: the state of your leagues and matches, so your mates see the same competition you do. Single-player careers are saved on your own device, not on our server.
• Feedback: if you send feedback from the game, we keep your note, the screen you were on and your browser type, linked to your username, so we can fix what you found.
• Server logs: standard request logs (address, time, path, browser) kept briefly for security and to keep the site running.

We do not run advertising, tracking pixels or third-party analytics on these pages.

Why we collect it

• To send you your alpha invite and sign-up code, and updates about the game only if you ask for them.
• To let your mates find you by username and play in the same league.
• To keep the service secure and working.
• If you tell us you're press, an investor or in the industry: to contact you personally about the game.

We rely on your consent for the waitlist and updates, and on running the service you asked for for everything else. We never sell or share your details with anyone, except service providers who host the server for us and are bound to keep it confidential.

How long we keep it

Waitlist entries are kept until you ask to be removed or the alpha programme ends, whichever comes first. Account data is kept while the account exists. Logs are rotated within weeks.

Your choices

• Reply to any email from us to come off the list. We'll delete your waitlist entry.
• Email hello@theburrow.digital to see, correct or delete anything we hold about you. We answer within 30 days, usually much sooner.
• You can play single player without any account at all.

Cookies and storage

We set one session cookie when you log in, and nothing else. The game stores your single-player save and preferences in your browser's local storage. There are no advertising or analytics cookies.

Children

The alpha is for people 16 and over. If you believe a child has given us their details, email us and we'll remove them.

Changes

If this policy changes in a way that matters, we'll say so on this page and, for waitlist and account holders, by email.

This policy is written to meet the Australian Privacy Principles and the Spam Act 2003. It is plain English on purpose. If anything here is unclear, ask.
