Meta Platform SDK
Our VR hunting game uses Meta's Platform SDK to enable social features, leaderboards, and multiplayer. Meta collects and processes data related to your Meta account and platform activity independently of us. Please review Meta's Privacy Policy and Meta's Privacy Center to understand how Meta handles your data.
How We Share Game Data
We may share data collected through our games with:
- Service providers — third parties who assist with crash reporting, analytics infrastructure, and server operations, under confidentiality obligations and only to the extent necessary to provide those services
- Platform partners — Valve (Steam) and Meta, as required by their respective platform policies and SDK terms
- Law enforcement or regulators — when required by applicable law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of our users or the public
- Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to standard confidentiality protections
We do not sell your personal data to data brokers or advertising networks.
Data Retention
We retain gameplay telemetry, session data, and crash reports for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy — typically no longer than two years from the date of collection — unless a longer retention period is required by law or platform policy.
Leaderboard entries and session history tied to your platform user ID may be retained for the lifetime of the game's online services. You may request deletion at any time (see below).
Your Rights & How to Request Deletion
You have the right to request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal data we hold about you through our games. To submit a request:
Data Deletion Request
- Email [email protected] with the subject line: "Data Deletion Request – [Game Name]"
- Include your platform display name (Steam username or Meta username) and, if known, your platform user ID
- We will confirm receipt within 5 business days and complete the deletion within 30 days, except where retention is required by law or platform policy
Important: Data held by Steam (Valve) or Meta on their own platforms must be deleted directly through their privacy tools — we do not have access to platform-level account data:
Deleting your data may affect saved progress, leaderboard entries, or features that depend on stored session history.
Children's Privacy
Our games are not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with personal data, please contact us at [email protected] and we will take steps to delete it promptly.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Game Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, where required by platform policy, notify you through the game or platform notification system. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
