abating.xyz ("we," "us," or "our") operates a fantasy 卡牌 (card) battle game platform focused on strategic deck-building, collectible cards, and competitive multiplayer matches. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your information when you use our website, games, and related services (the "Services"). By using the Services, you consent to the terms outlined herein.
1. Collected Information
Personal Information: Account registration requires your email address, username, and encrypted password. Optional details include your preferred card faction (e.g., arcane, warrior, nature) and gameplay style (e.g., aggro, control, combo). For in-game purchases (e.g., card packs, premium decks, cosmetic skins), we collect payment information through third-party processors (Apple Pay, Google Pay), which we do not store.
Gameplay & Technical Data: We automatically collect deck composition statistics, match outcomes, card usage rates, device information (model, OS, screen resolution), IP address, and session duration. We also track player strategy trends (e.g., meta shifts, deck innovation) to balance card power levels and expand the card library.
Cookies & Tracking: Essential cookies enable account login, save deck builds, and store match history. Non-essential cookies (for analytics via Adobe Analytics) are used to measure user engagement and identify popular card combinations, with your consent.
2. Use of Information
To create and manage your account, authenticate access, and deliver the Services (e.g., multiplayer matchmaking, ranked ladder updates).
To process purchases, deliver virtual items, and resolve payment disputes.
To analyze gameplay data to adjust card balance, fix bugs (e.g., card effect glitches), and develop new card sets aligned with player strategy preferences.
To communicate with you (e.g., new card set releases, tournament notifications, support responses) via email or in-app messages.
To enforce our Terms of Service and prevent cheating (e.g., botting, card duplication) using anti-cheat software.
3. Information DisclosureWe do not 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 operating the Services, subject to strict confidentiality requirements.
To comply with legal obligations (e.g., court orders, subpoenas) or protect our rights, property, or safety, or that of our users or the public.
In the event of a business merger, acquisition, or asset sale, where your information may be transferred (with prior notice to you).
4. User Rights
You can access, update, or delete your personal information via your account settings. For full account deletion, contact [email protected].
You can manage cookie preferences through your browser (disabling non-essential cookies does not affect core functionality).
You may opt out of marketing communications by unsubscribing from emails or adjusting notification settings.
5. Security & RetentionWe use robust security measures (encryption, firewalls, regular vulnerability scans) to protect your information. Personal information is retained for as long as your account is active or as required by law. Gameplay data (e.g., match results, deck builds) is retained for 2 years after account deletion to maintain ranked ladder history and card balance analytics.
6. Children’s PrivacyThe Services are intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn of such collection, we will delete the information immediately. Parents/guardians may contact us to verify or delete their child’s data.
7. Policy UpdatesWe may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Your continued use of the Services after the update constitutes acceptance of the new policy.
