This Privacy Policy explains how Lysogenic Games ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our website and features such as Game Vault (manual entry and photo saves).
What we collect
- Manual saves: card selections, modifiers, rewards, and counters (no names required).
- Photo saves: an image you upload plus optional notes you provide.
- Retrieval codes: short codes generated to load a save later.
- Basic technical data: IP address, device/browser metadata and similar logs for security and fraud prevention.
- Account data (if you sign up later): email and basic profile info.
Why we collect it
- Provide, maintain, and improve the Game Vault features.
- Prevent abuse and ensure service integrity (e.g., rate limiting, audit logs).
- Analytics in aggregate to understand usage (no sale of personal data).
Retention
- Manual and photo saves: stored for 30 days and then deleted automatically unless linked to an account.
- Logs: retained for a limited period for security and troubleshooting.
Third-party services
- Google Firebase: hosting, database (Firestore), and storage of uploaded photos.
- Payment processor (e.g., Stripe): for shop checkout. We do not store card details; payments are processed by the provider.
- Analytics/monitoring: privacy-respecting analytics and error reporting to keep the service reliable.
Legal basis (UK/EU GDPR)
- Performance of a contract: to provide saves and retrieval functionality you request.
- Legitimate interests: security, fraud prevention, service analytics.
