Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy is entered into by and between Iron Duelist Inc. (referred to as "we", "us", or "our") and you, the user (referred to as "you" or "your"), and governs the collection, use, storage, disclosure, and protection of your personal information when you access or use our mobile game Iron Duelist (the "Game", "Service").

1. Information We Collect

We collect two categories of information from users of the Game: Sensitive Personal Information (collected first, as required) and Non-Sensitive Personal Information.

1.1 Sensitive Personal Information (Collected with Explicit Consent Where Required)

Sensitive personal information is defined under U.S. state privacy laws and includes data that can reveal your identity, location, or private communications. We only collect this information when necessary for the Game's functionality, and we clearly disclose how, from whom, and for what purpose we collect it:

Device Identifiers (IMEI, Android ID, IDFA, Advertising ID, etc.)
- How We Collect: Automatically collected from your mobile device upon first launch of the Game, account registration, or login.
- From Whom We Collect: All users who access or use the Game.
- Purpose of Collection: To verify your account, prevent fraud and cheating, secure your login, bind your account to your device, troubleshoot customer support issues, and maintain fair gameplay.
- Retention Period: Retained for the duration of your active account. Upon account deletion, we will delete this information within 15 business days, unless required by law to retain it.
Precise Geolocation Data
- How We Collect: Collected only if you explicitly grant location permission to the Game via your device settings, when you use location-based features such as regional matchmaking, local tournaments, or "nearby players".
- From Whom We Collect: Only users who actively enable location-based features.
- Purpose of Collection: To match you with players in your region, provide localized in-game events, and comply with regional content restrictions.
- Retention Period: Only temporarily stored during active use of location features. We do not retain your geolocation data after you close the feature or disable location permissions.
Microphone & Camera Access
- How We Collect: Collected only if you explicitly grant microphone/camera permissions to the Game via your device settings, when you use in-game voice chat, live streaming, or video-based PvP features.
- From Whom We Collect: Only users who actively use voice/video communication features.
- Purpose of Collection: To facilitate real-time voice and video communication between players during gameplay.
- Retention Period: We do not record, store, or share your voice or video content. Data is transmitted in real-time only and is destroyed immediately after the communication ends.
Contact List/Address Book Data
- How We Collect: Collected only if you explicitly grant contact list permission to the Game via your device settings, when you use the "Invite Friends" or "Add Friends from Contacts" feature.
- From Whom We Collect: Only users who actively use the friend invitation feature.
- Purpose of Collection: Solely to help you find and add existing contacts as in-game friends.
- Retention Period: We only access your contact list temporarily to match friends. We do not store your contact list data after the matching process is complete.

1.2 Non-Sensitive Personal Information

We also collect non-sensitive personal information that is necessary for the operation of the Game:

Account Information: Username, in-game nickname, password (stored as a hashed value, never in plain text), email address, and phone number (for account recovery and security).
Gameplay Data: Match history, in-game progress, inventory, purchase/transaction records, chat logs, friend lists, and in-game behavior data.
Device & Technical Data: Device model, operating system version, network type (Wi-Fi/4G/5G), IP address, and crash logs.
Payment Information: We do not store your full credit card, debit card, or payment credentials. All payment processing is handled by third-party payment providers (Apple App Store, Google Play, etc.). We only retain transaction IDs, purchase amounts, and timestamps for order fulfillment and customer support.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your personal information only for the following legitimate, lawful, and disclosed purposes:

To provide, maintain, and improve the Game and its features, including account authentication and customer support.
To ensure fair gameplay, detect and prevent cheating, hacking, fraud, and other harmful activity.
To communicate with you about game updates, events, promotions, and account-related notices (you may opt out of marketing communications at any time).
To analyze user behavior and improve the Game's design, features, and user experience.
To comply with legal obligations, respond to legal requests, and enforce our Terms of Service.
To protect the rights, property, and safety of Iron Duelist Inc., our users, and the public.

3. Sharing and Disclosure of Your Information

We do not sell your personal information to third parties for commercial purposes, in compliance with CCPA/CPRA and other U.S. state privacy laws. We only share your information in the following limited circumstances:

With Your Consent: We will share your information with third parties only if you provide explicit, opt-in consent to do so.
Service Providers: We share limited information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Game, such as payment processors, cloud hosting providers, anti-cheat services, and analytics providers. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and only use it for the purposes we specify.
Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law, such as in response to a court order, subpoena, or government request, or to protect our legal rights, property, or safety.
Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or part of our business, your information may be transferred as part of the transaction. We will notify you of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information.
