01. Data Controller

The data controller responsible for processing your personal and game data is:

02. Information We Collect

We collect and store information to ensure proper game functionality, leaderboard synchronization, and secure storage of your game purchases.

a. Account and Profile Data (Gamio Servers)

When you sync your game state, a unique player profile is created on our secure Gamio servers. This profile contains:

A randomly generated system account ID and installation token.
Your Google Play Games player ID and display name (if you choose to link your Google Play account).
High scores, weekly missions progress, and gameplay statistics (e.g., total mutant/enemy kills).

b. Purchase History

While financial payments are processed entirely through the Google Play store, we record and store a non-sensitive purchase history on our Gamio servers (such as receipts and item IDs). This enables us to restore purchased items, verify transactions, and maintain ad-free status across your devices.

c. Device and Usage Data

We automatically collect basic device metadata during server synchronization requests, including device type, operating system version, app version, and platform language to optimize game compatibility.

03. Third-Party Services

We integrate several trusted third-party services in Purge Protocol to process statistics, enable cloud gaming identities, and show advertisements.

Purge Protocol uses third-party advertising partners to display advertisements. These partners may use cookies, web beacons, device identifiers (such as Google Advertising ID or Apple's IDFA), and other tracking technologies to collect information to serve, customize, and measure ads.

06. Data Retention

We retain your synchronization data, stats, and purchase history on our Gamio servers for as long as your account remains active. If your account is inactive for a period exceeding 24 consecutive months, we reserve the right to delete your profile data from our servers.

07. Your Rights & Account Deletion

You have the right to access, correct, or request the erasure of your personal data. If you are located in the EEA or UK, you also have specific rights under the GDPR regarding portability and processing restrictions.

To request the permanent removal of all your profile progress, stats, leaderboard listings, and purchase history, you can submit an automated request through our dedicated Account Deletion Page.

Requests initiated via the portal or via direct support contact are processed and completed within 30 days.
