Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Earth Tag, a virtual reality game developed by thatonelem ("we," "our," or "us"). We respect your privacy and are committed to being transparent about how we handle your information.

This Privacy Policy explains what information Earth Tag may access, how it is used, how it's shared, and what choices you have. It applies to all versions of Earth Tag and related online services (collectively, the "Service").

By playing Earth Tag or otherwise using the Service, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.

2. Information We Access

Earth Tag is designed to collect as little personal information as possible. We only access or use the following categories of data, as required to provide multiplayer functionality and in-game communication.

a. Microphone Data

Earth Tag requests permission to use your headset's microphone for voice chat between players.

b. Platform User ID

A User ID may be automatically provided by your VR platform (for example, Meta Quest, Oculus, or PlayFab).

3. Information We Do Not Collect

We do not collect, store, or request the following information:

If such information is processed, it is solely by the VR platform or third-party services you use to access Earth Tag (e.g., Meta, Steam, PlayFab).

4. How We Use Information

We use the limited information we access only for the following purposes:

We do not use player data for marketing, profiling, or advertising purposes.

5. Third-Party Services

Earth Tag relies on a few trusted service providers for its core functionality:

Photon (Exit Games GmbH)

Used for real-time multiplayer and voice transmission. Photon processes audio and connection data to deliver live communication between players.

PlayFab (Microsoft Corporation)

Used for multiplayer session management, matchmaking, and basic player data storage (such as session IDs or stats).

PlayFab Privacy Policy: https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement

Platform Providers (e.g., Meta, Steam, etc.)

Your VR platform may collect device information, usage statistics, and other data under its own privacy policy.

We encourage you to review these providers' privacy policies for more information about how they process your data.

6. Data Retention

Earth Tag itself does not permanently store any player or microphone data.

We do not maintain any long-term database or user records on our own systems.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data handled during gameplay. This includes relying on secure, industry-standard network providers (Photon and PlayFab) and encrypting data during transmission when possible.

However, no online system is completely secure. You use Earth Tag and its multiplayer features at your own risk.

8. Children's Privacy

Earth Tag is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required in your country).

We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If we learn that a child has provided personal information to us through a third-party platform, we will request that it be deleted as soon as possible.

Parents or guardians who believe their child has accessed the game in violation of this section should contact us through our Discord link below.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your country or region, you may have certain legal rights regarding your data, such as:

Since Earth Tag does not directly collect or store personal data, most data-related requests should be sent to your platform provider (e.g., Meta, Steam, or PlayFab).

If you have questions or concerns about data use within Earth Tag itself, you can reach out via Discord.

10. International Data Processing

Earth Tag is available worldwide. The third-party services we use may process information in different countries. By using Earth Tag, you consent to this cross-border processing as described in this policy.

Photon and PlayFab follow global data protection standards and comply with relevant privacy regulations (including GDPR and CCPA where applicable).

11. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes to the game, new features, or legal requirements.

If material changes are made, we will post a notice within the game or through our community Discord. Your continued use of Earth Tag after changes take effect means you accept the updated version.

12. Contact Us

If you have any questions, privacy requests, or concerns about this policy or your data, please contact us through our official Discord community:
