Privacy Policy

1. Overview

Welcome to Gamio ("we", "our", or "us"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting any personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your details when you visit our website (gamio.fun), play our WebGL games, or play and synchronize progression in our mobile applications, specifically including Purge Protocol which uses our secure game servers located at https://purge-protocol.gamio.fun/.

2. Information We Collect

We collect and store information to ensure proper game functionality, leaderboard synchronization, and secure storage of your game purchases. This includes:

a. Account and Profile Data (Purge Protocol synchronization)

When you sync your game state, a unique player profile is created on our secure game servers (https://purge-protocol.gamio.fun/). This profile contains:

  • A randomly generated system account ID and installation token.
  • Your Google Play Games player ID and display name (if you choose to link your Google Play Games account).
  • High scores, weekly missions progress, and gameplay statistics (e.g., total mutant/enemy kills).

b. Purchase History

While financial payments are processed entirely through the Google Play store, we record and store a non-sensitive purchase history on our game servers (such as receipts and item IDs). This enables us to restore purchased items, verify transactions, and maintain ad-free status across your devices.

c. Device and Usage Data

We automatically collect basic device metadata during server synchronization requests, including device type, operating system version, app version, platform language, and general web/game traffic statistics (browser type, general location region) processed anonymously.

d. Contact Information

If you submit a direct message using our contact form, we collect your name, email address, subject line, and the message content. This is used solely to respond to your queries.

3. Third-Party Services

We integrate several trusted third-party services in Purge Protocol and our portal to process statistics, enable cloud gaming identities, and show advertisements.

  • Google Play Games Services: Used to sign in, synchronize progression across platforms, track achievements, and identify users in global leaderboards.
  • Advertising Services: Purge Protocol uses third-party advertising networks to display advertisements. Specifically, we integrate Unity Ads, AppLovin, and Google AdMob. These advertising services may collect, receive, and process device-specific identifiers (such as the Google Advertising ID or Apple's IDFA), IP addresses, usage data, and other metadata necessary to deliver, personalize, and measure ads. You can learn more about how they process this data by reviewing the Unity Privacy Policy, the AppLovin Privacy Policy, and the Google Privacy Policy. You can opt-out of personalized advertising at any time by configuring your mobile device settings (e.g., enabling "Limit Ad Tracking" or "Opt out of Ads Personalization" in your system privacy settings).

4. How We Use Your Data

We utilize the collected information to:

  • Respond to your technical support or business inquiries.
  • Maintain global game leaderboard rankings and save progress locally or on our game servers (https://purge-protocol.gamio.fun/).
  • Restore virtual items and validate purchase history on linked devices.
  • Identify performance bottlenecks and improve our game design, engine efficiency, and loading speeds.
  • Deliver contextual and rewarded advertisements via integrated networks.
  • Protect our platform and servers against cyber security attacks, cheating, and software piracy.

5. Cookies & Browser Storage

Our WebGL simulation runs inside your browser and utilizes local storage to hold session variables, loading preferences, and save files (like player levels, coins, and equipment unlocked). This data remains locally on your device unless synchronized via official app store cloud profiles.

We do not use advertising tracking cookies on our main portal website or share browser history profiles with ad networks.

6. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

If you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA), our legal basis for processing your data includes:

  • Performance of a Contract: Necessary to deliver game synchronization and item purchases.
  • Legitimate Interests: To protect our servers against cheating, prevent stats spoofing, and display relevant ads.
  • Consent: For personalized advertising configurations where applicable under local regulations.

7. Data Retention

We retain your synchronization data, stats, and purchase history on our game servers (https://purge-protocol.gamio.fun/) for as long as your account remains active. If your account is inactive for a period exceeding 24 consecutive months, we reserve the right to delete your profile data from our servers.

8. Your Rights & Data Deletion

You have the right to access, correct, or request the erasure of your personal data. If you are located in the EEA or UK, you also have specific rights under the GDPR regarding portability and processing restrictions.

To request the permanent removal of all your profile progress, stats, leaderboard listings, and purchase history, you can submit an automated request through our dedicated Account Deletion Page.

Requests initiated via the portal or via direct support contact (at [email protected]) are processed and completed within 30 calendar days.

9. Children's Privacy

Our games, including Purge Protocol, do not knowingly collect or solicit personal data from anyone under the age of 13, and are not directed to or designed for children under 13. Furthermore, we do not knowingly transmit any personal data or device identifiers from children under 13 to our advertising partners, including AppLovin and Google AdMob. If you believe we have inadvertently collected data of a child under 13, please notify us immediately at [email protected] so we can remove the data from our databases.

10. Updates to Policy

We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy at any time. Changes will be posted directly to this page with an updated revision date.
