ABOUT YOUR DATA
Privacy Policy
This policy covers the GRIDSHARD game, this informational website and support communications. Contact gridshardgame@gmail.com for privacy questions or data requests.

This website
This static website has no game login, advertising, analytics SDK or data collection form. It does not create its own cookies or local storage entries. Email links open your email application; this page does not collect a support request until you send an email.
To deliver the site and prevent abuse, Cloudflare may process connection IP addresses, request times, requested addresses and browser/network information under its service policies. Messages sent to the support address are processed through Google’s email service.
Information processed by the game
- Account and sessions: player ID, display name, session/device records and verified contact information you choose to link.
- Game progress: cards, modules, cores, trophies, currencies, decks, rewards, settings and match results.
- Social features: friends, team membership, chats/messages, invitations and abuse reports.
- When store or advertising integrations are active: transaction and product identifiers used to verify purchases/rewarded ads. Payment card processing belongs to the store; you do not need to provide your card number to the game.
- When you enable notifications: the relevant device’s push notification registration.
Use and visibility
This information is used to maintain your account and progress, run matches and rewards, provide social features, verify transactions and prevent abuse. Other players may see your display name, selected cosmetics, public profile statistics and rankings. Team chats are visible to team members; private messages are visible to their recipients. Account settings and session secrets are not part of your public profile.
Optional product analytics
Product analytics is off by default. If you enable it in Settings, session, screen, matchmaking, battle result and coarse performance categories are recorded. Records use a pseudonymous identifier rather than your raw player ID; they are not anonymous. Player names, emails, IP addresses and chat content are not written to product analytics events.
Raw product analytics is retained for up to 30 days. Disabling consent deletes your raw product analytics records. This setting does not replace separate advertising privacy/consent choices. Telemetry needed to operate and diagnose the game is separate from this optional analytics.
Service providers
Depending on the feature used, providers may include Cloudflare (site/network security), Google (support email, Google sign-in, Google Play, AdMob and Android notifications), Apple (enabled iOS features) and Oracle (the planned game server). Providers may process data in different countries. Naming a not-yet-enabled feature here does not mean it runs on this website.
When mobile advertising is enabled, AdMob may process device/network information and advertising identifiers according to consent and device settings. Necessary advertising disclosures and privacy choices must also be provided inside the app; this web page does not obtain advertising consent. Live payment and advertising integrations are being prepared for release.
Retention and deletion
Account and progress records are retained to provide your account and chosen game features. Account deletion removes your personal profile, identity/session records, related social records, push registrations and product analytics. Non-personal aggregate results needed to preserve other players’ results may remain; identifying fields relating to the deleted player are removed or redacted.
Game/diagnostic telemetry is count-limited (currently the most recent 50,000 events); account-linked telemetry is covered by account deletion. Support correspondence is used to resolve your request and, where necessary, address a dispute. Cloudflare, Google and other providers’ own records are subject to their retention policies.
The precise retention schedule for production backups and support correspondence will be added here when the live server and provider setup is completed. The game has not launched publicly. This text does not claim a completed production deployment or store approval.
Your choices and requests
Settings lets you disable optional analytics and obtain a copy of your account data. Request account deletion in the app or by email without access to the app. Send access, correction or privacy questions to our support address. Minimal account ownership verification may be requested to prevent changes to another person’s account.
Updates
When a feature or provider changes data processing, this policy and relevant app disclosures will be updated. Separate in-app disclosure or consent will be requested when required. Target age groups and country requirements will be reviewed before release.
