1. Introduction

Welcome to Starcult Night: Twisted Age (the "Game"). We are NOT A CAT STUDIOS. We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

3. Information We Collect

We collect data in three main categories: Account Data, Gameplay Data, and Data from Third-Party Platforms.

3.1. Platform Data (Steam SDK)

When you launch the game via Steam, we interact with the Steam SDK. Note: Much of your Steam data is managed by Valve Corporation, but we may receive the following:

  • Steam ID: A unique identifier for your account.

  • Profile Data: Your Steam username and avatar (if you choose to link your Steam profile in-game).

  • Playtime & Achievements: Data regarding how long you play and what you unlock.

  • Cloud Saves: If you use Steam Cloud, your save files are stored on Valve's servers, but we process them to enable cross-save functionality.

3.2. Community & Voice Chat (Discord)

If you choose to join our Discord community or use in-game Discord integration:

  • Discord ID: A unique identifier generated by Discord.

  • Profile Info: Your Discord username and avatar (if you authorize the connection).

  • Voice Chat: Voice data is processed by Discord, not by us. We do not record or store voice communications.

  • Chat Logs: If you post on our official servers, your messages are stored on Discord's servers, not ours.

3.3. Directly Collected Data

  • Support Tickets: Email address and details provided when contacting support.

  • Crash Reports: Technical logs (stack traces, device specs) sent to help us fix bugs. These logs do not contain your chat logs or personal messages.

4. How We Use Your Data

  • Authentication: To let you log in via Steam or Discord (OAuth).

  • Game Functionality: To save progress, manage multiplayer lobbies, and sync achievements.

  • Community Management: To moderate official Discord channels and support forums.

  • Analytics: To understand player retention and bug frequency (aggregated, anonymized data).

  • Marketing: To send you news about updates or sales only if you have explicitly opted in.

5. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

  • Contract: Necessary to provide the game features you requested (e.g., saving progress via Steam Cloud).

  • Legitimate Interest: To maintain server security, prevent cheating, and improve game stability.

  • Consent: Required for marketing emails, optional analytics, or linking your Discord profile to the game.

6. Data Sharing with Third Parties

We do not sell your data. We share data only with:

  1. Valve Corporation (Steam): For account authentication, payments, and cloud storage.

  2. Discord Technologies Inc.: For community chat, voice, and authentication if linked.

  3. Payment Processors: For in-game purchases (handled by Steam/Discord).

  4. Hosting Providers: For game server infrastructure.

Important: When you use Steam or Discord, you are also subject to their respective Privacy Policies. NOT A CAT STUDIOS has no control over how Valve or Discord handles your data outside of the Game.

7. Data Retention

  • Account Data: Retained until you delete your account or request deletion.

  • Crash Reports: Anonymized and retained for months for analysis, then deleted.

  • Support Logs: Retained for months for legal and dispute resolution purposes.

8. Your Rights (GDPR)

You have the right to:

  • Access your data.

  • Delete your account (which triggers deletion of data stored by NOT A CAT STUDIOS).

  • Port your data to another service.

  • Withdraw Consent for marketing or optional data collection at any time.

Note on Platform Data: If you wish to delete data held by Steam or Discord, please contact Valve or Discord support directly. We can only delete data stored on our own servers.
