Privacy policy

Who we are

War Settlers is an online strategy game operated for players through this website and related game clients. The operator is referred to below as “we”, “us”, or “our”.

What we collect

Depending on how you use the service, we may process:

• Account data — such as username or display name, email address, and credentials needed to create and secure your account.
• Gameplay and technical data — such as game actions, progression, in-game communications where applicable, client and server logs, approximate timestamps, IP address, device or browser type, and diagnostic information used to run and protect the service.
• Support data — information you send when you contact us (for example bug reports or correspondence).

Cookies and local storage

We may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, maintain session security, and measure basic performance. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may limit certain features.

Why we use data

We use the data above to:

• provide, operate, and improve the game and website;
• authenticate accounts and prevent fraud, cheating, and abuse;
• communicate with you about the service (for example service or security notices);
• comply with law and enforce our terms.

Legal bases (where applicable)

If laws such as the GDPR apply, we rely on appropriate bases — for example performance of a contract (providing the game), legitimate interests (security and improvement, proportionate and balanced against your rights), consent where required (such as certain cookies or marketing, if offered), and legal obligation.

Sharing

We may share data with hosting providers, analytics or security vendors, payment processors if in-game purchases exist, and other processors who help us run the service under strict instructions. We may disclose information if required by law or to protect users and the integrity of the game. We do not sell your personal information.

Retention

We keep data only as long as needed for the purposes above — for example for the life of your account plus a reasonable period afterward for backups, disputes, and legal requirements — unless a longer period is required by law.

International transfers

If we transfer data across borders, we use appropriate safeguards as required by applicable law (such as standard contractual clauses where relevant).

Children

The service is not directed at children under the age required by your region (often 13 or 16). If you believe we have collected data from a child without proper consent, contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your data, restrict or object to certain processing, withdraw consent, or lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Contact us to exercise these rights. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

Contact (privacy)

For privacy requests, use the contact details published on this site or in the game client. Replace this sentence with your real support or privacy inbox when you go live.

Terms of service

Acceptance

By accessing or using the website or game, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service. We may update these terms from time to time; continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised terms where permitted by law. Material changes will be communicated in a reasonable way (for example via the site or in-game notice).

Eligibility and accounts

You must meet any minimum age and eligibility requirements for your region. You are responsible for your account credentials and for all activity under your account. Provide accurate information and notify us of unauthorized use.

License

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the game for entertainment in line with these terms. The game, name, artwork, code, and related materials are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws.

Rules of conduct

You agree not to:

• cheat, exploit bugs, use unauthorized bots, or tamper with the client or servers;
• harass, threaten, or harm other players, or post unlawful or hateful content;
• attempt to probe, disrupt, or circumvent security or authentication;
• use the service for spam, malware, or illegal purposes;
• resell accounts or virtual goods outside allowed channels, if applicable.

We may investigate violations and apply penalties, including warnings, suspensions, or permanent termination of accounts.

Virtual items and payments

If the game offers virtual currency, items, or subscriptions, purchases may be subject to additional terms shown at the point of sale. Virtual items have no real-world monetary value except as required by law. Fees and taxes may apply as disclosed during checkout.

Availability and changes

We aim to keep the service available but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue features or the entire service with reasonable notice where feasible.

Disclaimer

The service is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent permitted by law. We do not warrant that the game will be free of errors or that it will meet your expectations.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we and our affiliates are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the service. Our aggregate liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the greater of amounts you paid us for the service in the twelve months before the claim or fifty (50) currency units, except where liability cannot be limited by law (such as death or personal injury caused by negligence, or mandatory consumer rights).

Indemnity

You agree to defend and indemnify us against claims arising from your use of the service, your content, or your violation of these terms, to the extent permitted by law.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws applicable to the operator’s establishment, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, unless mandatory consumer protections in your country say otherwise.

Contact (terms)

For questions about these terms, use the same contact channel as for general support. Replace this with your production contact details when you go live.
