1) Who we are and scope

This Privacy Policy explains how EtereaGames (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects and processes personal data when you use:

• Type (social app); and

• Nova Assault (game, including online services and integrations with Epic Games Services).

Unless stated otherwise, EtereaGames is the Controller under applicable data-protection laws (e.g., GDPR).

Support: support@EtereaGames.com
Controller representative: Francesco Geloso — francescogeloso@etereagames.com

2) Who may use our products

• Type: intended for individuals 15 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 15 for Type. If we learn an account belongs to a user under 15, we will delete the account and associated data (subject to legal retention).

• Nova Assault: available according to platform terms and local age ratings. Where parental controls or age-verification are required (e.g., via Epic, Steam, console stores, or local law), we rely on those mechanisms and apply appropriate restrictions.

3) What data we collect

3.1 Data you provide

• Account and profile data (e.g., email/username, display name, country, language, settings).

• Communications (support tickets, emails, feedback, reports).

• Type only: Date of birth or age band for age-assurance (see §6).

3.2 Data collected automatically

• Technical/device data (app version, OS, device identifiers, crash logs).

• IP address, general location at the city/region level, timestamps, performance metrics.

• Usage/interactions (content you post, friends/follows, likes, moderation events).

3.3 Data from third parties

• Authentication / platform: Apple/Google sign-in, Epic Games Account (Nova Assault), Steam, platform stores.

• Payment processors (if you purchase premium or in-game items): limited billing info and payment status.

• Push/notifications: Firebase Cloud Messaging (device token).

• Anti-abuse/security: signals used to detect fraud, spam, or EULA violations.

We do not require or store copies of government IDs unless legally required or handled by a specialized provider for verification.

4) Why we process your data (purposes & legal bases)

• Provide the service and your account (create, log in, sync, social features, cross-platform play): Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract).

• Age-assurance (Type) to confirm 15+ eligibility and apply age-appropriate settings (see §6): Art. 6(1)(c) (where law requires) and Art. 6(1)(f) (legitimate interests in safety/compliance).

• Safety and integrity (anti-cheat, anti-fraud, abuse prevention, moderation, security logging): Art. 6(1)(f).

• Communications (service messages, policy updates): Art. 6(1)(b)/(f).

• Analytics (aggregated/non-behavioral) to improve stability and features: Art. 6(1)(f).

• Marketing (optional): with your consent where required, or legitimate interests where permitted (you can opt out at any time).

We do not use age signals for behavioral advertising or marketing profiling.

5) Sharing your data (recipients)

We share data only as needed with:

• Processors (under Art. 28 GDPR) such as

  • Notifications: e.g., Firebase Cloud Messaging.

  • Anti-abuse & security and aggregated analytics tools.

• Platform partners / controllers:

  • Epic Games Services (Nova Assault login, friends, matchmaking, anti-cheat, cloud saves): Epic is typically an independent controller for its own services. Your use of Epic accounts is also governed by Epic’s privacy terms.

  • Apple/Google (sign-in, app stores) as independent controllers.

• Authorities or legal recipients where required by law or to protect rights/safety.

We require processors to implement appropriate security and to process data only on our instructions.

6) Age-assurance (Type)

For Type, we enforce 15+ access. We may ask for date of birth or let you select an age band. Where available, we may receive OS/store age signals (e.g., supervised status, age range) to help confirm eligibility or apply minor-friendly defaults (e.g., private profile by default, limits on DMs from non-friends, location features off).

• Age signals are used only for eligibility/safety and are not used for ads or marketing.

• We store outcomes (e.g., “eligible 15+”) and minimal logs to demonstrate compliance; we do not store ID images.

• If we cannot verify 15+, we may deny account creation or restrict features.

7) International data transfers

Where data is transferred outside the EEA/UK, we use appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) and, if needed, supplementary measures.

8) Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as needed for the purposes above:

• Account data: for the life of the account.

• Security/moderation logs: for a limited period aligned with risk and legal requirements.

• Age-assurance outcomes/logs (Type): the minimum period necessary to evidence compliance and manage eligibility.
  Upon account closure, we delete or anonymize data unless retention is required by law (e.g., tax, fraud prevention).

9) Your rights

Subject to law, you can request access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, portability, and lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority.
To exercise your rights, contact https://etereagames.com/support. We may need to verify your identity before responding.

10) Security

We implement technical and organizational measures appropriate to risk, including encryption in transit/at rest, access controls, monitoring, backups, and incident response. No system is 100% secure; we continuously improve our safeguards.

11) Cookies and similar technologies (web)

If you use our websites, we may use cookies or similar technologies for strictly necessary purposes and, with consent where required, for analytics. See our Cookie Notice (if provided) for details and controls.

12) Automated decision-making

We do not conduct automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects without human review. Anti-fraud/anti-cheat detections may use automated signals with human oversight.

13) Changes to this notice

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. For material changes, we will provide reasonable advance notice (e.g., in-app, email, or banner) before they take effect.
