Privacy Policy

Draft for review — replace the [bracketed] details and check it against the laws where your players live (e.g. GDPR, COPPA) before launch.

Last updated: [date]. This policy explains what Tail Crew collects, why, and your choices. Controller: [Operator name / company, address, contact e-mail].

What we collect

• Account: trainer name, e-mail address, and your password stored only as a secure hash.
• Game data: your characters and saves, items, Pokémon, battle results, rankings, guild, friends, mail and market activity.
• Community: chat messages, forum posts, reports and support tickets you send.
• Technical & security: a one-way hash of your IP address (to stop cheating and ban evasion — we don't store the address itself), your browser type, play time and gameplay signals used for anti-cheat.
• Purchases: what you bought and when. Payment details are handled by our payment provider [name], not by us.

Why

• To run the game and save your progress.
• To keep the game fair and safe (anti-cheat, moderation, fraud prevention).
• To answer support requests and send account e-mails (e.g. password reset).
• To understand and improve the game (aggregated statistics).

Cookies

We use one essential cookie to keep you signed in, and your browser's local storage for settings. No advertising trackers.

Sharing

We don't sell your data. We share it only with providers that help us run Tail Crew (hosting, e-mail, payments) or when the law requires it. Other players see your public profile (trainer name, title, team, record, guild).

How long

We keep account data while your account exists. Security logs and anti-cheat data are kept for up to [12] months. You can ask us to delete your account at any time.

Your rights

You can ask for a copy of your data, correct it or delete it, and object to some uses — contact [e-mail] or use in-game Help & Support. You may also complain to your local data-protection authority.

Children

Tail Crew is not for children under 13. If we learn an account belongs to a child under 13 without parental consent, we will delete it.
