Privacy

Last updated: November 14, 2026

gamebender.com is run by JoyLabz LLC, the maker of Makey Makey and GameBender. This page explains, in plain language, what this website collects. The JoyLabz Privacy Notice also applies and explains our practices and your rights in full.

What this website collects

  • No tracking. This site doesn't use cookies, analytics, advertising pixels, or any other tracking technology, and it doesn't load third-party scripts.
  • Email sign-up. If you enter your email address in a sign-up box, we send it to Klaviyo, the service we use to send email, to add you to the GameBender email list. We email you first to confirm you want to join. We use your address only to send GameBender news, and every email has an unsubscribe link.
  • Contact form. The contact form opens your own email program with your message filled in. This website doesn't store what you type. Emails you send us are handled as described in the JoyLabz Privacy Notice.
  • Website hosting. Our hosting provider, Amazon Web Services, processes technical information such as your IP address to deliver pages and videos and to keep the site secure. We don't use it to identify or track you.
  • Your settings. If you use the "Pause animations" button, your browser remembers that choice on your device. It isn't sent to us.

Sharing and selling

We don't sell your personal information or share it for targeted advertising. Because of that, there's nothing to opt out of, and browser privacy signals such as Global Privacy Control are respected automatically. We use service providers like Klaviyo and Amazon Web Services only to run this site and our email list.

Children

GameBender is made for kids, but this website is meant for parents, educators, and other adults. Email sign-up is for people 13 and older. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you think a child has given us their email address, contact us and we'll delete it.

Your choices and rights

  • Unsubscribe from GameBender emails at any time using the link in any email.
  • Ask us what information we have about you, or ask us to correct or delete it, by emailing support@joylabz.com.
  • Depending on where you live (for example California, the EU, or the UK), you may have additional rights. The JoyLabz Privacy Notice explains them and how to use them.

Other websites

This site links to other websites, such as Scratch, Dropbox, and social media. Their own privacy policies apply when you visit them.
