Privacy Policy

Mind Arc Games respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, and what happens to it when you use the Mind Arc Network, our websites, games, applications, and online services, including Phoenix Vector: Assault.

Our goal is simple: collect the information we need to operate our services without collecting information just for the sake of having it.

Information We Collect

The information we collect depends on which Mind Arc Games services you use.

When you create or use a Mind Arc Network account, we may collect information such as:

• Your email address.
• Your Mind Arc ID (username).
• Information needed to sign you in and keep your account secure.
• Profile information you choose to add, such as an avatar.
• Game progress and saved game data.
• Scores, achievements, statistics, and leaderboard information.
• Messages, support requests, or feedback you choose to send us.

Our games and website may also provide technical information needed to operate, troubleshoot, secure, or improve our services.

When we introduce features that collect additional information, we will update this policy when appropriate.

Why We Use Your Information

We use your information to operate Mind Arc Games and provide the features you use.

For example, we may use it to:

• Create and manage your Mind Arc Network account.
• Sign you in and confirm that you are the account owner.
• Save your game progress and account data.
• Provide online features such as scores, achievements, and leaderboards.
• Respond when you contact us.
• Find and fix technical problems.
• Improve our games and services.
• Protect our users, accounts, games, and services from abuse or unauthorized access.

We do not need to know everything about you to provide our games and services, and we do not intend to collect information simply because we can.

Mind Arc Network Accounts

Your Mind Arc Network account is your account for Mind Arc Games online services.

As Mind Arc Games grows, the same account may be used across multiple Mind Arc Games titles and services. This could include features such as saved progress, achievements, scores, leaderboards, cosmetics, and other account-based features.

When we add new account features that meaningfully change how your information is used, we may update this policy.

Services Provided by Other Companies

We do not operate every part of our technology ourselves. Mind Arc Games uses, or may use, other companies to provide services such as:

• Account authentication and database hosting.
• Website and cloud hosting.
• Email delivery.
• Game distribution.
• Payments.
• Analytics and diagnostics.

These companies may receive or process information when necessary to provide their services.

For example, Mind Arc Games currently uses Supabase for parts of the Mind Arc Network account and database system.

Other platforms, such as Google Play, Apple's App Store, or Steam, may also process information when you use their services. Their own privacy policies apply to information they collect directly through their platforms.

Cookies and Browser Data

Our website uses cookies and similar browser technologies for features such as account authentication and maintaining your signed-in session.

Some cookies are necessary for these features to work. For example, if your browser cannot maintain the information needed for your account session, you may be signed out.

We explain what cookies are and how Mind Arc Games uses them in our Cookie Policy.

If we introduce optional technologies such as certain analytics or advertising systems, we will update our policies and provide additional choices when required.

How We Protect Your Information

We take reasonable steps to protect the information entrusted to us.

That includes using security measures designed to prevent unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or loss of account information.

No website, database, or Internet connection can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We cannot promise that a security problem will never happen, but protecting user information is an important part of operating our services.

How Long We Keep Information

We keep information for as long as we reasonably need it to provide our services, maintain accounts, meet legal requirements, resolve disputes, prevent fraud or abuse, and protect Mind Arc Games and its users.

Different types of information may need to be kept for different lengths of time.

When information is no longer reasonably needed, we may delete or anonymize it.

Your Choices

You may contact us if you have questions about information associated with your Mind Arc Network account or want to request that your account be deleted.

Depending on where you live, you may also have legal rights concerning your personal information.

Some information may need to be kept after an account is deleted when required by law or when reasonably necessary for matters such as security, fraud prevention, or resolving disputes.

Deleting your account may permanently remove access to information connected to that account, including saved progress or other account-based features.

Children's Privacy

Mind Arc Games does not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable privacy laws.

Age and parental-consent requirements are different around the world. Where the law requires parental or guardian permission for a child to use a service, that permission must be obtained.

If we learn that personal information was collected from a child in a way that does not comply with applicable law, we will take appropriate steps to address it.

International Users

Mind Arc Games is available through the Internet, which means our users and the companies that help operate our services may be located in different countries.

As a result, information may sometimes be stored or processed outside the country where you live.

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information when it is processed as part of our services.

Changes to This Policy

Mind Arc Games will continue to change as we build new games, account features, and online services. That may occasionally require us to update this Privacy Policy.

When we make changes, we will update the Last Updated date at the top of this page. If a change is important enough that additional notice is appropriate or legally required, we will provide it.
