Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Scoundrel: The Descent (“Scoundrel,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information about you when you visit scoundrelcardgame.com (the “Site”), interact with us, or play the Scoundrel: The Descent mobile game (together, the “Services”). We created the game and this site with privacy in mind and limit the data that we collect to the minimum needed to develop and support the experience.
Information We Collect
We strive to avoid gathering personal data wherever possible. Depending on how you interact with the Services, we may process the following limited categories of information:
- Contact details that you provide. If you email us, sign up for launch notifications, or otherwise contact us directly, we collect the email address and any information you choose to include in your message so that we can respond.
- Platform analytics. Apple, Google, or similar distribution platforms may share aggregated and anonymized metrics such as device type, operating system version, country/region, or crash diagnostics. We only receive these analytics in aggregate form and cannot use them to identify individual users.
- Crash reports and diagnostics. If you opt into crash reporting provided by your device platform, we may receive technical logs to help us diagnose issues and improve stability.
How We Use Information
We use the information described above to:
- Respond to your inquiries, requests for launch notifications, or support issues.
- Operate, maintain, and improve the Services, including balancing game systems and fixing bugs.
- Understand performance and stability trends so we can prioritize future updates.
- Comply with legal obligations or enforce our rights, including investigating misuse or security issues.
Legal Bases for Processing (EEA, UK, and Similar Jurisdictions)
Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we process personal data because it is necessary to perform a contract with you (for example, to deliver requested updates), based on our legitimate interests in providing and improving the Services, or with your consent when the platform asks for permission (such as enabling crash reporting). You may withdraw your consent at any time by changing your device or account settings.
How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We only share information in the following circumstances:
- Service providers. We may use trusted vendors to host email, store crash logs, or provide analytics dashboards. These providers are bound by contractual obligations to handle your data securely and only for our instructions.
- Platform owners. Your use of Apple, Google, or other app store platforms is governed by their own privacy policies. They may process data independently to provide their services, operate accounts, or facilitate in-app purchases.
- Legal requirements. We may disclose information if required to do so by law, regulation, or legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Scoundrel, our players, or others.
Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. For example, support emails are retained while the conversation remains active plus a reasonable period for reference, and crash logs are kept only while needed to diagnose the related issue.
Security
We implement technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, or unauthorized disclosure. No online service is completely secure, so please contact us immediately if you believe your data has been compromised.
Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or restriction of the personal data we hold about you. You may also have the right to object to certain processing or request data portability. To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We may ask you to verify your identity before fulfilling your request.
You can manage analytics and crash report sharing through your device or platform settings. If you unsubscribe from launch updates or newsletters, we will stop sending you those communications.
Children’s Privacy
The Services are not directed to children under 13 (or the age required in your jurisdiction for providing consent). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.
International Data Transfers
We operate from the United States. If you access the Services from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers are located. These locations may have data protection rules that differ from those in your jurisdiction. We take appropriate safeguards to protect your information in such transfers, including contractual protections where required.
Third-Party Links and Features
The Services may contain links to third-party websites, stores, or community platforms. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any service you choose to use.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in technology, legal requirements, or our practices. If we make material changes, we will revise the effective date and, when required, provide additional notice such as through the Services or by email.
