Overview

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use DesertDrill, how we use and share it, and the choices you have. We aim to collect the minimum necessary to provide secure, enjoyable social gameplay, maintain platform reliability, and improve features over time.

DesertDrill does not offer real-money gambling and does not sell your personal information. Where we rely on optional analytics or personalization, we ask for your consent first and provide clear controls to change your choice later.

Data we collect

• Essential technical data (legitimate interests): short-lived IP, device/OS/browser info, basic diagnostics, session identifiers, security events (e.g., failed logins, abuse signals).
• Account data: display name, avatar preference, language/locale, in-app settings, club membership, friend connections.
• Gameplay & progress: game IDs, session timing, achievements, inventories, virtual currency balance and spend history (virtual coins only).
• Support communications: messages you send to support (and related metadata) to help resolve issues.
• Optional analytics/personalization (with consent): aggregated page views, feature adoption, funnel metrics and A/B testing outcomes. We design reports to be aggregate-first, not to identify individual players.

Why we process data

• Provide core functionality, matchmaking and save your progress.
• Protect the platform against abuse, fraud and security threats.
• Measure performance and fix bugs to keep gameplay smooth.
• Understand what features are used to guide improvements.
• Send essential service messages (policy updates, security notices).

Cookies & controls

We use essential cookies for authentication, security and reliability. With your consent, we also set optional cookies for analytics and personalization. You can update your choice any time via the cookie banner or in settings.

If you decline optional cookies, you can still play; some insights we use to improve the product will simply be limited.

Sharing with providers

We do not sell personal information. We share limited data with carefully selected service providers under contracts requiring confidentiality and security. Typical providers include: hosting/CDN, error tracking, analytics (if you opt in), and customer support tools.

Providers may be located in other countries. Where applicable, we take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.

Security & retention

• Encryption in transit, access controls and monitoring.
• Production access is limited and audited.
• Data minimization: we keep information only as long as needed for the purposes above, then delete or de-identify it.
• Backups are time-limited and rotated.

Your choices & rights

Depending on your region, you may have the right to request access, correction, deletion, portability, or to object to/limit certain processing. You can also withdraw consent for optional analytics at any time using the cookie controls.

To make a request, email privacy@example.com. We may ask you to verify your account/email before acting.

Policy updates

We may update this policy as our product or legal requirements evolve. When we do, we’ll revise the “Last updated” date below and, where appropriate, provide additional in-app notice or request consent again.
