Sithy Privacy Policy – We Keep Your Info as Safe as Your Best Guesses
Hey, Sithy players! We’re stoked you’re here to play, and we take keeping your info private super seriously. This policy breaks down what data we collect, why we collect it, and how we keep it locked up tighter than a tricky word puzzle. No jargon, just the deets you need to know.
What Info Do We Collect?
We’re not here to hoard your life story – just the basics to make Sithy work (and work well).
Account Stuff: When you sign up, we might ask for a username, email (like your Gamesithyfun@outlook.com if you use it!), and a password. This helps us set up your profile, let you log in, and send you game updates (only the good stuff, we promise).
Gameplay Data: We track things like your scores, the words you guess, hints you use, and difficulty levels you pick. Why? To tweak the game – maybe make hints smarter if you’re stuck, or cook up new challenges based on what you love. It’s all about making your next round more fun.
Device & Tech Bits: Your device type, operating system, and how you connect to Sithy (Wi-Fi or data) helps us fix bugs and make sure the game runs smooth on your phone, tablet, or whatever you’re playing on. No, we don’t track your location – we don’t need to know where you’re crushing word puzzles, just that you are.
How Do We Use Your Info?
We’re all about using your data to level up your Sithy experience – not sell it to the highest bidder. Here’s the breakdown:
To Keep the Game Running: Your account info lets you log in, save your progress, and pick up where you left off (no starting over if you close the app – phew!).
To Make Sithy Better: That gameplay data? It’s our secret sauce. If lots of players get stuck on a certain word, we’ll tweak it. If you love the hard mode, we’ll add more of it. We’re like your personal game designers, but way less coffee-fueled.
To Keep It Fair: We use tiny bits of data to spot cheaters (looking at you, bot users!). This keeps the AI battles honest – because where’s the fun if someone’s rigging the game?
To Chat With You (If You Want): If you opt in, we might send emails about new features, bonus challenges, or friendly reminders to come back and play. Hate spam? No problem – you can unsubscribe with one click.
Who Gets to See Your Info?
Short answer: Almost no one. We don’t sell, rent, or trade your data with third parties – period.
Our Team: Only folks who need your info to do their jobs (like fixing a login issue or improving the game) get access. They’re trained to keep it under wraps.
Trusted Helpers: We might work with companies that help us run Sithy – like cloud services to store your progress securely, or email tools to send those optional updates. These partners can only use your data to help us, and they’re legally required to keep it private.
Legal Stuff (Ugh, But Necessary): If we’re forced by law (like a court order) to share info, we’ll do it – but we’ll fight to protect your privacy whenever we can.
How Do We Protect Your Data?
Your info’s safer with us than a winning word in your head. We use encryption (fancy code-speak for “scrambling data so only we can read it”) for things like your password and email. We also update our security tools regularly to fend off hackers – think of it as a digital shield around your data.
That said, no internet service is 100% unhackable. If something fishy happens, we’ll let you know ASAP, explain what’s up, and fix it faster than you can guess a three-letter word.
Your Rights – You’re in Control
You own your data, and you get to call the shots:
See What We Have: Want to check out the info we’ve stored about you? Email us at Gamesithyfun@outlook.com, and we’ll send it over in a jiffy.
Fix Mistakes: Spotted a typo in your username? Let us know, and we’ll correct it.
Delete Your Account: If you decide to hang up your thinking cap, we’ll wipe your data (scores, account info – all of it) from our systems. Just ask, and it’s gone.
Opt Out of Emails: Those game updates getting old? Hit “unsubscribe” in any email, or tell us, and we’ll stop.
Kids & Privacy
Sithy’s for players 13 and up. If we find out someone under 13 is using the game, we’ll delete their data right away. Parents, if you think your kid’s playing, shoot us an email – we’ll help sort it out.
Changes to This Policy
We might tweak this policy now and then – maybe to add new features or follow new laws. If we do, we’ll post the updated version here and let you know (probably via in-game message or email). It’s worth checking back now and then – just like revisiting a tough puzzle to crack it.
Got Questions?
We’re here to help! If you’re confused about anything, or just want to chat privacy, drop us a line at Gamesithyfun@outlook.com. We’ll get back to you faster than the AI can make its next move.
Thanks for trusting us with your info – now go crush those word associations!
