abscond.pro ("we," "us," or "our") operates a stealth-action game platform focused on immersive single-player and co-op stealth experiences. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of your information when you use our website, games, and related services (the "Services"). By accessing the Services, you acknowledge and agree to this policy.
1. Information Collection
Personal Information: Account registration requires your email address, username, and password (hashed for security). Optional information includes your preferred language and gameplay preferences. For purchases, we collect billing details through our third-party processors (Epic Games Store, Stripe), which are not stored on our servers.
Gameplay & Device Data: We automatically collect data such as game progress, mission completions, difficulty settings, device specifications (hardware, OS version), IP address, and session duration. We also track in-game choices (e.g., stealth vs. combat approaches) to improve level design.
Cookies & Similar Tools: We use essential cookies to enable account login and save game preferences. Non-essential cookies (for analytics via Unity Analytics) are used only with your consent, allowing us to measure user engagement and optimize performance.
2. Use of Information
To register and manage your account, authenticate access, and deliver the Services.
To process purchases, validate transactions, and provide customer support for in-game items.
To analyze gameplay patterns and user behavior to enhance game mechanics, fix glitches, and develop new content.
To send you service-related notifications (e.g., account security alerts, game updates) and marketing communications (which you can opt out of).
To enforce our Terms of Service and prevent fraudulent activities, cheating, or misuse of the Services.
3. Information DisclosureWe do not rent or sell your personal information. We may share information:
With third-party service providers (e.g., cloud hosting via AWS, payment processors, analytics tools) that assist in delivering the Services, bound by confidentiality agreements.
In response to legal requests (e.g., court orders, subpoenas) or to protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users or the public.
In connection with a business transfer (e.g., merger, acquisition) where your information is transferred as part of the assets, with prior notice to you.
4. User Rights & Controls
You can access, edit, or delete your personal information via your account dashboard. For permanent account deletion, contact [email protected].
You can manage cookie settings through your browser (disabling non-essential cookies will not impact core Service functionality).
You may opt out of marketing emails by clicking "unsubscribe" or adjusting notification preferences in your account.
5. Security & RetentionWe use industry-standard security measures (end-to-end encryption, secure servers, regular security audits) to protect your information from unauthorized access or disclosure. We retain personal information for as long as your account is active or as required by law. Gameplay data is retained for 1 year after account deletion to support analytics and bug fixes.
6. Children’s PrivacyThe Services are intended for users aged 16 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If we discover such collection, we will delete the data immediately. Parents/guardians may contact us to request verification or deletion of their child’s information.
7. Policy UpdatesWe may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Your continued use of the Services after the update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
