What do you do with my Information?
All information given will only be utilized for Sprung Studios game testing purposes in accordance to our Privacy Policy. Sprung Studios shall always follow the guidelines set by the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) regarding the information we receive from signees. You can unsubscribe from our communications at any time, or contact us directly with any questions or concerns in regards to your personal information.
Can I get a reference from Sprung Studios once I've tested with them?
Unfortunately, we cannot provide referrals or references to participants–as Game Testing is a paid participation experience and not an employment and/or professional endeavour, in any capacity.
What can I share about my experience with game testing?
You are welcome to tell people that you've been a tester at Sprung Studios and, if you had a good experience, we would be quite happy to hear that you've referred a friend to sign up.
However, since you'll likely be play testing games or features that are in development, you can expect to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement when you participate in any testing. We appreciate your confidentiality and discretion with regards to the contents of your play session.
