Effective Date: April 29, 2025

Thank you for participating in the IRON HORDE Beta Testing Program. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share data when you participate in our beta testing.

1. Information We Collect During Beta Testing

During the beta testing phase, we may collect the following types of information:

• Game Usage Data: Information about how you interact with the game, including game sessions, feature usage, aircraft selection, and gameplay patterns

2. Enhanced Data Collection During Beta

Please note that during the beta testing phase, we collect more detailed data than we will in the final release to help identify and resolve issues. This may include:

• More frequent and detailed game logs
• Additional performance metrics and crash information
• Client and session information for troubleshooting
• Hardware and system specifications
• Records of specific user actions for analysis

3. How We Use Beta Testing Data

We use the information collected during beta testing for the following purposes:

• Identifying and fixing bugs, glitches, and performance issues
• Balancing gameplay and improving game mechanics
• Enhancing user experience and interface design
• Testing server stability and infrastructure
• Analyzing player behavior to optimize game features
• Implementing and evaluating new features based on usage patterns

4. Data Sharing and Third Parties

During the beta testing phase, we may share certain data with:

• Development Partners: External developers or QA testers working on the game

All third parties are bound by confidentiality obligations and are prohibited from using your data for any purpose other than providing services to support the beta testing program.

5. Data Retention and Security

Beta testing data will be retained for the duration of the beta program and for a reasonable period thereafter to allow for analysis and implementation of improvements. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, or deletion.

7. Data After Beta Conclusion

When the beta testing phase concludes:

• Personal identifiers may be removed from testing data
• Some gameplay data may be transferred to your account if you continue to the full release
• Detailed logs and debugging information will be deleted when no longer needed

8. Beta-Specific Analytics

During beta testing, we implement more extensive analytics than in the final release to help us understand game performance. These analytics track detailed information about your gameplay sessions, including session length, aircraft usage, hardware performance, and feature interaction patterns.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated during the beta testing phase. We will notify beta testers of significant changes through the game interface or via email. Continued use of the game after such changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
