Ludus: Rise of the Gladiator

Ludus is a game made by Kleboe Tech Solutions ("we", "us"). This policy explains what information the game keeps about you, why, and what you can do about it. We keep as little as we can: the game has no adverts, no tracking and no analytics.

Who we are

Kleboe Tech Solutions, United Kingdom. Contact: kleboetech@gmail.com. We are the data controller for the information described here.

What we keep, and why

Information	Why we keep it
A player ID: a random code made when you first open the game. It isn't linked to your name, email or Google account unless you choose to sign in with Google.	So your game can be saved and found again.
Your game save: your ludus name, your gladiators, their gear and stats, your denarii and your progress.	To save your game online, so it isn't lost if something happens to your phone.
Your Google account's email address, only if you choose "Sign in with Google" in the game.	To link your save to your Google account, so you can get your ludus back on another phone or after reinstalling. We don't use it to contact you or for anything else.
Purchase records: which item you bought (for example 200 denarii), when, and Google Play's reference for the purchase.	To give you what you paid for, to make sure each purchase is used only once, and to apply the daily purchase limits.

Apart from the email address of a Google account you choose to sign in with, we do not receive your name, card or bank details, contacts, photos or location. Payments are handled entirely by Google Play under Google's privacy policy.

Our legal basis under UK GDPR is that we need this information to provide the game you've chosen to play (performance of a contract).

Where it's kept

Your information is stored with Google Firebase (Google Cloud), in its London data centre (europe-west2). Google processes it for us under its data processing terms and doesn't use it for its own purposes. It's sent over encrypted connections, and the game's rules let only your own player ID read or change your save.

How long we keep it

Your save is kept for as long as you play. If you haven't opened the game for 2 years, we may delete it. Purchase records are kept for up to 6 years, because the law requires us to keep records of sales.

Sharing

We don't sell or share your information with anyone, other than the services that run the game (Google Firebase and Google Play) and where the law requires it.

Your rights

You can ask us for a copy of your information, to correct it, or to delete it. To delete your game and its data, email kleboetech@gmail.com with the subject "Delete my Ludus data" and your ludus name. Deleting your save can't be undone. We'll reply within 30 days. Purchase records we must keep by law are kept, but no longer linked to a game.

If you're unhappy with how we've handled your information, you can complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.

Deleting your ludus

You can delete your account and everything the game keeps about you in either of two ways:

In the game: open the Ludus tab, scroll to Your house, and choose Delete my account. Your save, your player ID and any link to your Google account are deleted straight away.
By email: write to kleboetech@gmail.com with the subject "Delete my Ludus data", giving your ludus name and the Google account you signed in with (if any). We delete it within 30 days and confirm by email.

Deleting can't be undone. Purchase records the law requires us to keep (up to 6 years) are kept, but are no longer linked to you or to a game.

Children

Ludus is meant for adults (18 and over). It isn't designed for children, and we don't knowingly keep information about anyone under 18.

Changes

If this policy changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
