1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you use Paranoia (the “App”). By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information as described here. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.
2. Information We Collect
Account Information
When you sign in with Sign in with Apple, we receive a unique identifier for your Apple account, and your name and/or email address if you choose to share them (Apple lets you hide your real email behind a private relay address, which we support).
Profile Information
Information you choose to add to your profile, including your display name and a profile photo.
Gameplay Data
Information generated as you play, including your friend code, friends list, lifetime stats (games played, win rate, streaks), custom questions you write, and virtual items or purchases associated with your account.
Voice Data
If you use voice chat during an online game, your microphone audio is transmitted live to other players in your game session through our real-time communication provider. We do not record, store, or have access to this audio ourselves.
Purchase Information
If you make an in-app purchase, Apple processes the transaction and shares limited purchase confirmation information with us (such as which item was purchased) so we can grant it to your account. We do not receive or store your payment card details — Apple handles all payment processing.
Technical Information
Standard technical information generated by using a mobile app, such as device type and app version, which may be collected by our infrastructure providers as part of operating the App reliably.
3. How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Operate and maintain the App, including syncing multiplayer game state between players
- Enable features like voice chat, friends, and referrals
- Process purchases and grant purchased items
- Detect, prevent, and respond to abuse, fraud, or violations of our Terms of Use
- Improve and troubleshoot the App
We do not sell your personal information.
4. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services to operate the App, each of which processes information on our behalf and is subject to its own privacy practices:
Apple — Sign in with Apple (authentication) and the App Store (in-app purchases). See Apple's Privacy Policy.
Google Firebase — Authentication, database, and backend infrastructure used to store your profile, game state, and sync multiplayer sessions. See Google's Privacy Policy.
Agora — Real-time voice transmission during online games. Agora relays your voice audio live between players; we do not use Agora's recording features, and your voice is not stored by us.
5. Data Sharing
We share information with other players as a normal part of how the App works — for example, your display name, avatar, and voice audio (if you use voice chat) are visible or audible to other players in your game session, and your friend code and stats are visible to your friends.
We share information with the third-party service providers listed above as necessary to operate the App, and may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, or property of us, our users, or others.
6. Data Retention
We retain your account and gameplay information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account (or ask us to, at support@taurus.games), we will delete or anonymize your personal information within a reasonable time, except where we're required to retain it for legal or legitimate business purposes (for example, fraud prevention records).
7. Children's Privacy
The App is not directed at children, and you must be at least 16 years old to use it (see our Terms of Use). We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13. If we learn we have collected information from a child under 13, we will delete it.
If you believe a child has used the App and provided us with information, contact us at support@taurus.games.
8. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information, or to object to or restrict certain uses of it. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at support@taurus.games.
You can also delete your account at any time from within the App's Account settings, and you can revoke the App's microphone access at any time from your device's Settings.
9. Data Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including relying on established infrastructure providers (Apple, Google Firebase, Agora) that maintain their own security practices. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. International Data Transfers
Our service providers may process and store information in the United States or other countries. By using the App, you consent to your information being transferred to and processed in countries that may have different data protection laws than your own.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you within the App. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
