PRIVACY POLICY

This Privacy Policy explains how Are You A Pilot? ("the Game", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects information when you use the Game, the website, online rankings, account login, achievement profile, password reset, support pages, and related online services.

Information We Collect

Depending on how you use the Game and website, we may collect:

• Account identifiers, such as your email address, username, player ID, and login/session tokens.
• Password reset information needed to send account recovery messages.
• Gameplay and profile data, such as scores, leaderboard entries, achievements, unlocks, skins, progression, and match results.
• Technical data needed to run and secure the service, such as IP address, device/browser information, request logs, crash or error logs, timestamps, and anti-abuse signals.
• Support information you choose to send us, such as messages about account access, bugs, refunds, or technical issues.

How We Use Information

We use information to:

• Create and maintain player accounts.
• Authenticate users and send password reset emails.
• Show online rankings, achievements, profile progress, skins, and game rewards.
• Protect the Game against fraud, abuse, spam, bot activity, and security incidents.
• Debug, maintain, improve, and operate the website, backend, and Game services.
• Respond to support requests and legal or safety obligations.

Legal Basis

Where required by privacy laws, we process information because it is necessary to provide the Game and account services, because we have a legitimate interest in operating and securing the service, because we must comply with legal obligations, or because you have given consent for a specific optional use.

Public Rankings and Profiles

Leaderboards and achievement progress may display usernames, scores, ranks, and gameplay progress publicly. Do not use your real name as a username if you do not want it shown in public rankings.

Third-Party Services

The Game and website may use trusted service providers to host and operate online features. These may include Steam, Unity services, Google Cloud, domain/hosting providers, and email delivery providers. These services may process information only as needed to provide platform, hosting, authentication, analytics, messaging, security, or support functionality.

Data Retention

We keep account, ranking, achievement, and support information for as long as needed to provide the Game, maintain fair competition, resolve disputes, comply with legal obligations, and protect the service. Some server logs may be kept for a limited time for security and debugging.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect personal information. No online service can guarantee perfect security. If we discover a breach that creates a real risk of significant harm, we will assess the incident, keep required records, notify affected users when required, and report to the appropriate authority when required by law.

Your Choices and Rights

You may contact us to request access, correction, deletion, or review of personal information associated with your account, subject to identity verification, technical limits, anti-fraud needs, and legal retention requirements. You may also stop using the online services at any time.

Children

Are You A Pilot? is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information without appropriate consent, contact us so we can review and remove it where required.

International Users

Your information may be processed in countries other than your country of residence. Privacy protections and legal rights may vary by region, but we aim to handle personal information responsibly and transparently.

Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy as the Game, website, or legal requirements change. The updated version will be posted on this page with a new "Last updated" date.
