Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 28.05.2024

Welcome to BattleStrike Games!

This privacy policy describes the different ways we may collect, use, and share information on, through, or in connection with the BattleStrike Services. 

When we refer to “BattleStrike Games” (or any similar terms like “we” or “us”) in this privacy policy, we mean the BattleStrike Games entity that controls and is responsible for your information.

 

1. WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

A. Information You Provide

You can provide us with different kinds of information depending on how you interact with the BattleStrike Services. Sometimes we’ll ask you to provide specific pieces of information, such as when we require it to provide parts of the BattleStrike Services to you.

For example, to create an account and access certain features of our games, you’ll need to provide basic registration information like your name, a public-facing display name, password, country of residence, and email address. If you make purchases through the BattleStrike Store, we may ask for payment-related information (like your credit card number) to complete transactions. Additionally, many of our services require your date of birth to determine which features we can offer you and which settings to apply to your account based on your age and location.

We also collect information you voluntarily provide to sign up for email alerts, use social features like forums or chat, register for early access to our games, use our developer tools, enable two-factor authentication, participate in contests or competitive events, or contact us through Player Support requests or customer service. We collect whatever information you choose to provide to us in those or other similar cases.

B. Information We Collect Automatically

We collect some information automatically when you visit, access, or use the BattleStrike Services. This includes information about your gameplay or application usage, purchases, entitlements, and other activity in the BattleStrike Services, typically associated with your account or with an identifier we have assigned to your device or profile.

While the specific types of information that we automatically collect may vary, they generally include:

• Usage information and statistics about how you interact with the BattleStrike Services, including the games you played, how long you played them, progression and results, saved preferences, crash reports, and page views;

• Technical information about your computer, device, hardware, or software you use to access our services, such as IP address, device identifiers, internet service provider, plugins, or other transactional or identifier information for your device;

• The general location of your device, which we typically derive from your device’s IP address.

The BattleStrike Services use technologies such as cookies, log files, and web beacons to automatically collect the types of information listed above.

C. Information We Collect from Other Sources

In some cases, we may receive information about you from service providers and third parties in connection with your use of the BattleStrike Services or your interactions with us on other platforms.

For example, some other developers allow you to use your BattleStrike account to log in to their service. And if you choose to link your BattleStrike account with your account on a third-party social media or gaming platform, or if you interact with an ad for one of the BattleStrike Services on an external website or service, the company that operates that website or service may share some information with BattleStrike Games. Your privacy settings on the other company’s website or service typically control the specific types of information they can share with us.

 

2. HOW DO WE USE INFORMATION?

As a general matter, we use the information we collect to help us provide, improve, customise, analyse, and promote the BattleStrike Services. This includes purposes such as:

• Creating, verifying, and managing user accounts and features;

• Providing the BattleStrike Services, as well as support and assistance for them, including by responding to inquiries, processing transactions or requests, and communicating with users;

• Developing, delivering, and improving the BattleStrike Services and other offerings;

• Personalising your experience;

• Promoting the BattleStrike Services, including managing, customising, and measuring the effectiveness of our advertisements, promotional offers, surveys, and events;

• Conducting data analytics;

• Complying with our legal or contractual obligations; and

• Securing the BattleStrike Services.

We may also process information that does not identify you individually, including aggregate or de-identified information that we create or collect from other sources.

 

3. HOW DO WE SHARE INFORMATION?

We may share some of the information we collect to help operate and improve the BattleStrike Services. Depending on how you interact with us, common examples might include sharing:

• With other users (like if you use social features such as chat);

• Publicly (for example, your display name, content you create or share, basic game statistics, and other similar information may be generally accessible to others);

• With service providers that operate on our behalf;

• When we believe we must in order to comply with the law or to protect you, BattleStrike Games, or others;

• With other BattleStrike entities;

• In connection with certain types of corporate transactions; and

• With your permission.

We may also share information that does not identify you with third parties, including aggregate or de-identified information.
