Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

To provide you with our game and services, we strictly collect only what is necessary:

• Account Information: When you register for an account, we collect your email address, username, and password.
• Gameplay Data: We record your in-game activity, including your match history and win/loss records, to maintain leaderboards and track your progress.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect strictly to operate and improve the game. Specifically, we use your data to:

• Create and manage your account.
• Facilitate matchmaking and save your game progress.
• Process your subscription payments.
• Provide customer support and respond to your inquiries.

3. Cookies and Tracking

We use essential cookies solely to keep you logged into your account during your session. We do not currently use any third-party analytics trackers, tracking pixels, or advertising cookies.

4. Third-Party Services

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with advertisers. However, we do use a trusted third-party service to help run our platform:

• Payment Processing: We use Polar.sh to handle subscription payments. When you upgrade your account, your payment information is provided directly to Polar.sh. We do not store your credit card or sensitive payment details on our servers. You can review Polar.sh's privacy policy to understand how they handle your data.

5. Data Retention and Deletion

We keep your account and gameplay data for as long as your account is active. If you wish to delete your account and associated personal data, please contact us at support@chinese-checkers.net. We will manually process your deletion request and remove your data from our active systems.

6. Children's Privacy

Our game is designed to be a family-friendly experience that can be enjoyed by players of all ages, and we intentionally minimize the data we collect by not asking for real names.

However, because account creation and subscription management require an email address, we require that users under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in their region) have a parent or guardian create and manage the account on their behalf. We do not knowingly collect email addresses directly from children under 13 without parental involvement. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with an email address without your consent, please contact us at support@chinese-checkers.net so we can remove the data and delete the account.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as we add new features (such as automated deletion tools or analytics). If we make significant changes, we will notify you by updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this policy or by placing a notice on our website.
