Toon Shooter Arena Privacy Policy
Summary
Toon Shooter Arena is a team shooter you can play alone against computer-controlled players, or online with other people. Playing alone sends nothing anywhere. When you choose to play online, the game uses Epic Online Services (a free service from Epic Games) to find matches and connect your headset to the other players' headsets. We do not sell data, show ads or run analytics, and we have no account system of our own.
1. Information we collect
We do not ask for your name, email address, contacts, location, photos or payment details. Nothing leaves your headset until you press an online option in the game's menu (Quick Match, Private Room or Join With Code). Then:
- An anonymous player identifier. Epic Online Services gives your headset an anonymous ID (an Epic "product user ID") created from an anonymous device identifier. If your Meta account can confirm you own the app, the game may use a Meta user proof to sign you in to Epic instead; in that case your Meta user ID is shared with Epic for sign-in only.
- Match information. The match you host or join is listed in an Epic lobby with the game's name, version, whether it is private and, for private rooms, a 4-digit room code.
- Live game data. While you are in an online match, your headset sends the other players' headsets your position, where you are aiming, your team, your chosen weapon, your shots and hits, and your score. This is needed to show you in their game.
- Voice (optional, off by default). Only if you turn VOICE on, your microphone audio is sent live through Epic's voice service to the other players in your match. We never record or store it. You can mute any player or everyone.
- Reports. If you report a player, the report (their anonymous ID, a reason and your anonymous ID) is sent to Epic's player reporting service so we can review it.
2. Information stored on your device
The app saves on your headset: your last chosen weapon and the list of players you have blocked. This data never leaves the device and is deleted when you uninstall the app.
3. How information is used
Only to run online matches (finding a match, connecting players, keeping the match in sync), to carry optional voice chat, and to act on reports (for example, preventing a banned player from playing online). It is not used for advertising or profiling.
4. Sharing
Online play is provided through Epic Online Services, which processes the data above under the Epic Games privacy policy (epicgames.com/site/privacypolicy). The other players in your match receive your live game data and, if you turn it on, your voice. Meta handles platform features such as purchases and its system reporting under Meta's own privacy policy. We do not share data with anyone else.
5. Retention
Lobby and match data exist only while a match is running. Voice is never stored. Your anonymous Epic ID remains with Epic so the same headset keeps the same ID; reports are kept only as long as needed to review them and enforce the rules. Data on your headset is kept until you uninstall the app.
6. Children
The game is rated for its violence and "Users Interact" content. Online play can be avoided entirely by playing alone against computer players. Voice chat is off unless turned on, any player can be muted or blocked from the in-game Players list, and private rooms can be limited to friends who have the room code. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
7. Permissions
The app uses the internet permission for online play, and the microphone (record audio) permission only if you turn voice chat on - you are asked first. It does not use the camera, location, contacts, storage or eye tracking.
8. Your choices
Play alone to share nothing. Online, you can leave a match at any time, keep voice off, mute, block or report any player. To ask about or request deletion of data connected to your anonymous ID, contact us at the address below.
9. Changes
If this policy changes, the updated version will be published at this address with a new effective date.
