in accordance with this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy should be read
alongside our
<a href="terms-of-service.html">Terms of Service</a>.

Day-to-day operational support and certain processing activities are
carried out on our behalf by Wicked Sick Limited (a company registered in
England and Wales, company number 11117702), acting as our service
provider.
</p>
<p>
If you are a resident of the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom,
you can also contact our designated representative in the relevant region
at <a href="mailto:legal@openfront.io">legal@openfront.io</a>.

<li>
<strong>Service providers.</strong> We may receive information from our
service providers (such as analytics or moderation tooling providers)

refuse cookies, although this may limit the functionality of the Service.
</p>

</p>
<h2>5. Public Profiles, Leaderboards, and Sharing</h2>
<h3>5.1 Public profiles and leaderboards</h3>
<p>
Some features of the Service are public by design. As described in Section
7 of our Terms of Service, the following information may be displayed
publicly to other users and to non-users (including on the Website,
in-game, on Steam, on Crazy Games, in our Discord server, and on
third-party sites or applications that display OpenFront data):
</p>
<ul>
<li>Your Player ID</li>
<li>
A display name associated with your Player ID, which may be a custom
display name that you have set, your Discord username, or one or more of
the names you have most recently used in the Service
</li>
<li>
Your match history, statistics, ratings, leaderboard positions, and
cosmetic items in use
</li>
<li>Any clan, team, or community affiliations you have chosen to set</li>
</ul>
<p>
We retain and display a history of recent display names in order to deter
ban evasion, name spoofing, and impersonation, and to support fair play
enforcement. We rely on our legitimate interests as our legal basis for
this processing.
</p>
<p>
Your email address, Discord ID, IP address, payment information, and any
other identifying or contact information that you have not chosen to
display in-game are not made public through this feature.
</p>
<p>
If you would prefer that we display only your current name and not your
historical display names, please contact us at
<a href="mailto:support@openfront.io">support@openfront.io</a>. We will
assess such requests on a case-by-case basis and reserve the right to
decline where retention of historical names is necessary for moderation,
anti-evasion, or anti-impersonation purposes.
</p>
<h3>5.2 Discord</h3>
<p>
When you use our Discord bot, certain information is shared with Discord
as necessary for the bot's functionality. Discord's processing of your
information is governed by its own privacy policy.
</p>
<h3>5.3 Distribution platforms (Steam, Crazy Games, and others)</h3>
<p>
When you access the Service through a third-party distribution platform,
that platform may collect and process information about you in accordance
with its own privacy policy. We exchange limited information with these
platforms as needed to authenticate you, deliver the Service, and report
aggregate engagement statistics.
</p>
<h3>5.4 Payment processors</h3>
<p>
Payments for purchases made through our store are processed by Stripe,
Inc. ("Stripe"). Stripe acts as an independent data controller for payment
information you provide to it, in accordance with its own privacy policy.
We receive only limited transaction information from Stripe and do not
store full payment card details.
</p>
<h3>5.5 Advertising</h3>
<p>
Advertising on certain parts of our Service is managed by Playwire LLC
("Playwire"). Playwire and its partners may set cookies, web beacons, and
similar technologies on your device, and may collect information including
your IP address, device identifiers, browser information, and information
about your use of the Service, in order to deliver and measure
advertising. To learn more about the data Playwire collects and your
choices, please see
<a href="https://www.playwire.com/privacy-policy"
>Playwire's privacy policy</a
>. Where required by law, we will obtain your consent before allowing
Playwire to set non-essential cookies.
</p>
<h3>5.6 Other service providers</h3>
<p>
We use third-party service providers to help us operate the Service,
including hosting and infrastructure providers, analytics providers,
moderation tooling providers, email and communications providers, and
similar vendors. These providers process personal information on our
behalf and are contractually required to handle it in accordance with this
Privacy Policy and applicable law.
</p>
<h3>5.7 Legal and safety disclosures</h3>
<p>
We may disclose your personal information where we believe in good faith
that doing so is necessary to:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Comply with a legal obligation, court order, or lawful request</li>
<li>Enforce our Terms of Service or other agreements</li>
<li>Detect, prevent, or address fraud, security, or technical issues</li>
<li>
Protect the rights, property, or safety of OpenFront, our users, or
others
</li>
</ul>
<h3>5.8 Business transfers</h3>
<p>
If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganisation, sale of
assets, financing, bankruptcy, or similar event, your personal information
may be transferred to the acquiring or successor party. We will provide
notice on this page before your personal information becomes subject to a
different privacy policy.
</p>
<h3>5.9 With your consent</h3>
<p>
We may share your personal information for any other purpose with your
consent.
</p>
<h2>6. Data Retention</h2>
<p>
We retain personal information only for as long as is necessary for the

<h2>7. International Data Transfers</h2>
<p>
OpenFront LLC is based in the United States. Some of our service providers
are also based outside your country of residence. Your personal
information may therefore be transferred to, and processed in, countries
other than the country in which you are located, including countries that
may not provide the same level of data protection as your home country.
</p>
<p>
Where we transfer personal information of users in the United Kingdom or
the European Economic Area to countries that have not been designated as
providing an adequate level of protection, we rely on appropriate
safeguards as required by applicable law, including the European
Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data
Transfer Agreement or Addendum, or another lawful transfer mechanism.
</p>
<p>
You can request further information about these safeguards by contacting
us at <a href="mailto:legal@openfront.io">legal@openfront.io</a>.
</p>
<h2>8. Security</h2>
<p>
We use commercially reasonable technical and organisational measures to
protect personal information from loss, misuse, and unauthorised access,
disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no method of
transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100%
secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.
</p>
<p>
In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk
to the rights and freedoms of affected individuals, we will notify the
relevant supervisory authority and, where required, affected individuals,
in accordance with applicable law.
</p>
<h2>9. Your Rights</h2>
<h3>9.1 Rights available to all users</h3>
<p>
You may contact us at any time at
<a href="mailto:support@openfront.io">support@openfront.io</a> to:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Request access to the personal information we hold about you</li>
<li>Request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete information</li>
<li>Request that we delete your account and associated information</li>
<li>Withdraw your consent where we rely on it as our legal basis</li>
</ul>
<p>
Please note that we may need to retain certain information where we have a
legal obligation or other lawful basis to do so (for example, to maintain
enforcement records to prevent ban evasion).
</p>
<h3>
9.2 Additional rights for users in the UK and the European Economic Area
</h3>
<p>
If you are located in the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area,
you have the following rights under the UK GDPR or EU GDPR (as
applicable):
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Right of access.</strong> To obtain a copy of the personal
information we hold about you.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Right to rectification.</strong> To have inaccurate information
corrected and incomplete information completed.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Right to erasure.</strong> To have your personal information
deleted in certain circumstances.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Right to restriction of processing.</strong> To request that we
limit how we use your information in certain circumstances.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Right to data portability.</strong> To receive your personal
information in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format,
and to have it transmitted to another controller, where technically
feasible.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Right to object.</strong> To object to our processing of your
personal information where we rely on legitimate interests, including
profiling for those purposes; and to object at any time to processing of
your personal information for direct marketing.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Right to withdraw consent.</strong> Where we rely on your
consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the
lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Right to lodge a complaint.</strong> You have the right to lodge
a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. In the UK this
is the Information Commissioner's Office (<a href="https://ico.org.uk"
>ico.org.uk</a
>); in the EU this is the supervisory authority in your country of
residence.
</li>
</ul>
<h3>9.3 Additional rights for California residents</h3>
<p>
If you are a California resident, you have the following rights under the
California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy
Rights Act ("CCPA"):
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Right to know.</strong> To request information about the
categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected
about you, the categories of sources, the purposes for collecting it,
and the categories of third parties with whom we share it.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Right to delete.</strong> To request that we delete personal
information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Right to correct.</strong> To request that we correct inaccurate
personal information we hold about you.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Right to opt out of sale or sharing.</strong> We do not sell
your personal information for money. We may, however, share certain
information with our advertising partner (Playwire) in ways that could
be considered "sharing" for cross-context behavioural advertising under
the CCPA. You can opt out of this sharing using the cookie controls on
our website.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Right to limit use of sensitive personal information.</strong>
We do not use sensitive personal information for purposes that require
offering this right under the CCPA.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Right to non-discrimination.</strong> We will not discriminate
against you for exercising any of your rights under the CCPA.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at
<a href="mailto:support@openfront.io">support@openfront.io</a>. We may
need to verify your identity before responding. You may also designate an
authorised agent to make a request on your behalf.
</p>
<h2>10. Automated Decision-Making</h2>
<p>
Some processes within the Service involve a degree of automated
decision-making, including:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Anti-cheat and anti-abuse detection.</strong> We use automated
systems to identify suspected cheating, exploit use, spam, and other
breaches of our Terms of Service.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Matchmaking and rating.</strong> We use automated systems to
match players into games and to calculate ratings and leaderboard
positions.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Display name screening.</strong> We use automated systems to
screen display names against a list of prohibited terms.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Decisions with significant consequences for you — in particular, permanent
account bans for serious or repeated breaches — are subject to human
review where you appeal an enforcement action in accordance with Section
6.9 of our Terms of Service. If you believe an enforcement action against
your account was the result of solely automated processing and you wish to
request human review, please contact us at
<a href="mailto:support@openfront.io">support@openfront.io</a>.
</p>
<h2>11. Children's Privacy</h2>
<p>
You must be at least 13 years old to use our Service, or at least 16 years
old if you are a resident of the European Economic Area, the United
Kingdom, or another jurisdiction that requires a higher minimum age for
the processing of personal data, unless local law provides for a lower age
of digital consent.
</p>
<p>
We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone below the
applicable minimum age. If you are a parent or guardian and you believe
that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact
us at
<a href="mailto:support@openfront.io">support@openfront.io</a>. If we
become aware that we have collected personal information from a user below
the applicable minimum age, we will take reasonable steps to delete that
information and terminate the account.
</p>
<h2>12. Third-Party Links</h2>
<p>
Our Service may contain links to third-party websites and services that
are not operated by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices
or content of those third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy
policy of every site and service you visit.
</p>
<h2>13. Changes to This Privacy Policy</h2>
<p>
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material
changes, we will provide reasonable notice, which may include posting a
notice on the Service, updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this
Privacy Policy, or, where appropriate, contacting you by email. We
encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.

resident of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or any other
jurisdiction that requires a higher minimum age for the processing of
personal data, you must be at least 16 years old, unless local law
provides for a lower age of digital consent (in which case you must meet
that age).
</p>
<p>
By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet these age
requirements and that you have the legal capacity to enter into these
Terms. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from
a user below the applicable minimum age, we will take reasonable steps to
delete that information and terminate the account.
</p>
<h2>4. Account Registration and Discord Integration</h2>
<p>
Our Service uses Discord for authentication. By accessing or using our
Service, you authorize us to access certain Discord account information,
including but not limited to your Discord ID, username, avatar, email
address, and Discord server memberships.
</p>
<p>
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Discord
account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.
You agree to immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your
account.
</p>
<h2>5. User Conduct</h2>

<ul>
<li>
Use the Service in any way that violates any applicable laws or
regulations
</li>
<li>Harass, abuse, threaten, or harm another person or group</li>
<li>
Engage in hate speech or post content that is discriminatory, racist,
sexist, homophobic, transphobic, or otherwise targets a person or group
based on a protected characteristic
</li>
<li>
Post or transmit content that is sexually explicit, obscene, violent, or
that sexualises, endangers, or otherwise harms minors
</li>
<li>Impersonate another user, OpenFront staff, or any other person</li>
<li>Use our Service for unauthorized advertising or promotion</li>
<li>

</ul>
<h2>6. Fair Play and Competitive Integrity</h2>
<p>
OpenFront is a competitive multiplayer game and we take competitive
integrity seriously. In addition to the conduct rules in Section 5, you
agree not to engage in any of the following behaviours:
</p>
<h3>6.1 Offensive usernames and identifiers</h3>
<p>
You may not use any username, clan tag, flag, custom pattern, or other
identifier displayed in the Service that is hateful, harassing,
discriminatory, sexually explicit, threatening, that glorifies violence or
self-harm, that impersonates another person or entity (including OpenFront
staff, moderators, or well-known players), that promotes illegal activity,
or that is otherwise offensive. We reserve the right to force-rename
accounts, remove or revoke cosmetic items, or suspend accounts at our sole
discretion, with or without prior notice, where we consider an identifier
to fall within this prohibition.
</p>
<h3>6.2 Teaming and collusion in Free-for-All modes</h3>
<p>
In any FFA mode, you may not coordinate with other players to gain a
competitive advantage. Prohibited behaviour includes, without limitation:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Pre-arranged alliances or non-aggression pacts arranged outside the
match
</li>
<li>Sharing accounts or "hot-seating" between multiple people</li>
<li>
Deliberately feeding resources, territory, or units to another player,
other than in dedicated team game modes where shared resources and
cooperative play between teammates are an intended function of the mode
</li>
<li>
Using external communication channels (Discord, voice chat, livestreams,
co-watching, or any other out-of-game communication) to coordinate play
with other participants in the same FFA match
</li>
</ul>
<p>
In-game diplomacy — including truces, non-aggression, and betrayal —
negotiated during the course of a single match using in-game mechanics is
a normal part of OpenFront and is not prohibited. The prohibition in this
section is directed at sustained, pre-arranged, or externally-coordinated
play that defeats the purpose of an FFA mode.
</p>
<h3>6.3 Multi-accounting</h3>
<p>
You may not create, control, or use more than one account to participate
in the same match, to manipulate matchmaking, to evade a ban or other
moderation action, or otherwise to circumvent these Terms.
</p>
<h3>6.4 Rating and ranking manipulation</h3>
<p>
You may not engage in win-trading, account boosting, intentional losses
("throwing"), queue dodging, or any other behaviour designed to manipulate
competitive rankings, leaderboards, tournament results, or matchmaking,
whether for yourself or for another player.
</p>
<h3>6.5 Cheating and unauthorised modifications</h3>
<p>
You may not use, develop, distribute, or promote any cheat, bot, macro,
automation tool, modified client, memory editor, packet manipulation tool,
or any third-party software or technique that provides an unfair gameplay
advantage or alters the intended behaviour of the game.
</p>
<h3>6.6 Exploits</h3>
<p>
You may not knowingly exploit any bug, glitch, or unintended behaviour in
the Service. Suspected bugs must be reported to us privately via our
official GitHub repository or Discord server rather than exploited or
publicly weaponised.
</p>
<h3>6.7 Disruptive play</h3>
<p>
You may not engage in sustained behaviour intended to ruin the experience
for other players, including griefing, spawn-camping in violation of mode
rules, intentional AFK or idle play, chat spam, or coordinated harassment
of specific players.
</p>
<h3>6.8 Enforcement</h3>
<p>
We may, at our sole discretion and with or without prior notice, take any
of the following actions in response to a breach of these Terms, including
the rules in this Section 6: issue a warning; temporarily suspend an
account; permanently ban an account; force-rename an account; revoke,
remove, or refuse to deliver cosmetic items; reset or remove statistics,
ratings, or leaderboard entries; or take any other corrective action we
consider appropriate.
</p>
<p>
Enforcement actions may apply across all accounts that we reasonably
believe are controlled by, or operated on behalf of, the same person, and
across all platforms on which OpenFront is distributed (including the
website, Steam, Crazy Games, our Discord server, and our Discord bot).
Severe violations — including but not limited to cheating, the use or
distribution of unauthorised modifications, repeated offences after prior
warnings, or any behaviour that endangers minors — may result in an
immediate permanent ban without prior warning.
</p>
<h3>6.9 Appeals</h3>
<p>
If you believe an enforcement action against your account was made in
error, you may contact us at support@openfront.io within 30 days of the
action. We will review appeals in good faith but reserve the right to
maintain or modify any enforcement action at our sole discretion. We do
not commit to a specific response timeframe and our decision on an appeal
is final.
</p>
<h2>7. Public Profiles, Leaderboards and Display Names</h2>
<p>
Some features of the Service are public by design. By using the Service,
you acknowledge and agree that the following information may be displayed
publicly to other users and to non-users (including on the Website,
in-game, on Steam, on Crazy Games, in our Discord server, and on
third-party sites or applications that display OpenFront data):
</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Player ID.</strong> Each account is assigned a unique,
persistent identifier ("Player ID"). Your Player ID may be displayed
publicly alongside your in-game activity and may be used to look up your
match history, statistics, and leaderboard position.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Display name.</strong> A display name associated with your
Player ID may be shown publicly. This may take the form of a custom
display name that you have set, your Discord username, or one or more of
the names you have most recently used in the Service. We may retain and
display a history of recent display names in order to deter ban evasion,
name spoofing, and impersonation, and to support fair play enforcement.
</li>
<li>
<strong>In-game activity.</strong> Match results, statistics, ratings,
leaderboard positions, cosmetic items in use, clan or team affiliations,
and similar gameplay information may be displayed publicly.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Your email address, Discord ID, IP address, payment information, and any
other identifying or contact information that you have not chosen to
display in-game will not be exposed publicly through this feature.
</p>
<p>
Display names remain subject to Section 6.1. We may force-rename, hide, or
replace display names that breach that section, and we may retain a record
of removed display names internally for moderation and enforcement
purposes.
</p>
<p>
If you do not wish to have your historical display names shown publicly
and would like to request that we display only your current name, please
contact us at support@openfront.io. We will assess such requests on a
case-by-case basis and reserve the right to decline where retention of
historical names is necessary for moderation, anti-evasion, or
anti-impersonation purposes.
</p>

We reserve the right to modify or replace these Terms at any time. If a
revision is material, we will try to provide at least 30 days' notice

By continuing to access or use our Service after those revisions become
effective, you agree to be bound by the revised terms.

it cannot be so modified, shall be severed from these Terms. The remaining
provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
