Protection Policy Welcome to the frontline of Warpath: Ace Shooter — a tactical battlefield where precision meets performance, and your mission is only as strong as the systems behind it. As you deploy troops, command elite units, and take aim in fierce PvP battles, we remain steadfast in our mission to protect your data, your identity, and your integrity on and off the field. This Protection Policy outlines how we manage your information, secure your gameplay, and enforce fairness in every operation across the Warpath digital environment. 1. Data We Collect To operate efficiently and deliver a high-performance combat experience, we collect certain types of information: Account Identifiers: Player usernames, game IDs, linked platform profiles (such as Google, Apple, or Facebook). Device Data: Hardware specifications, system version, device model, screen resolution, and crash logs. Gameplay Records: Mission results, weapon loadouts, customizations, rankings, event participation, and match history. Network and Session Data: IP address, connection type, login times, and latency data for matchmaking optimization. Transactional Records: Purchase confirmations, premium currency balances, and receipt validation data. We collect only the information necessary to support game functionality, performance, security, and user support. 2. Data Usage and Purpose Collected data is used to ensure that Warpath: Ace Shooter operates with reliability, fairness, and personalization: Power matchmaking systems to ensure balanced, real-time combat. Track player stats and ranking progression across global leaderboards. Secure accounts from unauthorized access or fraudulent behavior. Deliver content updates, bug fixes, and performance optimizations. Provide support and restore lost or corrupted progress if needed. We do not use your personal data for external advertising purposes or sell it to unrelated third parties. 3. Security and Protection Measures Your digital battlefield is secured with military-grade protocols: All data transmissions are encrypted via secure channels (SSL/TLS). Our databases are protected by multi-layered firewalls and monitored 24/7 for suspicious activity. Role-based access control ensures only vetted personnel handle sensitive information. We regularly update our security systems to counter evolving digital threats. 4. Fair Play and Anti-Cheat Enforcement No victory should be tainted by exploitation: We use live detection systems to identify hacking, aimbots, modded clients, or unauthorized third-party tools. Automated monitoring and manual reviews investigate abnormal kill ratios, movement patterns, or stat spikes. Sanctions may include temporary suspensions, stat resets, leaderboard disqualification, or permanent bans. Cheaters not only violate the rules — they threaten the spirit of competition. We take that seriously. 5. Payment and Transaction Safety All in-game purchases — whether for gold, blueprints, or premium operators — are protected: Payments are routed through secure, trusted providers (e.g., App Store, Google Play). We never store your credit card or banking data directly. Purchase logs are encrypted and accessible only for validation, refund processing, and customer support. Suspicious or abusive purchasing behavior (such as refund fraud) may lead to access restrictions. 6. Communication and Player Conduct Warpath warriors are expected to uphold discipline and respect: In-game chat and alliance communication are monitored to prevent harassment, threats, spamming, or hate speech. Report tools are built-in to let players flag inappropriate behavior quickly. Violations may result in mutes, chat bans, or full account investigation. We aim to build a global player base that thrives on teamwork and competition — not toxicity. 7. Device Permissions and Privacy Only necessary permissions are requested: Network access: for real-time battles, events, and updates. Storage: to save local settings, media, and cache. Notifications: to alert you of missions, updates, and rewards. We do not access your contacts, location, microphone, or camera unless explicitly requested for specific features — and only with your permission. 8. Data Retention and Control We retain player data only as long as necessary to support gameplay, security, and legal compliance: You may request access to, or deletion of, your data through official support channels. Account deletion requests may affect your ability to recover progress or access the game. We respect your right to control your information at all times. 9. System Integrity and Maintenance Warpath’s backend infrastructure is built for global deployment: Distributed server networks ensure reliable performance under heavy loads. Downtime is minimized through scheduled maintenance, with advance notices shared in-game or via social channels. DDoS protection and redundancy ensure operational resilience. 10. Policy Updates As Warpath: Ace Shooter evolves — so do our protection standards: This Protection Policy may be updated to reflect new systems, features, or regulatory changes. We will notify players through patch notes or in-game announcements if major revisions occur. Continued use of the game constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
