Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 16 March 2025

Welcome to Zulpez ("the Game"), accessible at zulpez.com. Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your personal information.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following types of information:

• Personal Information (via OAuth):
  • Email
  • Name
  • Profile Picture
• Usage and Interaction Data: We use Microsoft Clarity to capture how you use and interact with our website. This service collects behavioral metrics, heatmaps, and session replays to help us improve our product and user experience. Data collected may include clicks, scrolls, mouse movements, device information, and other non-personally identifiable interaction data. This data is collected for aggregated analysis and service improvement.

We do not collect or store additional personal data beyond what OAuth provides, except for the usage data collected by analytics tools like Microsoft Clarity.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• Authenticate your account using the information provided by OAuth.
• Display your name and profile picture on leaderboards within the Game.
• Store and manage your progress in the Game.
• Analyze website usage and user interactions using Microsoft Clarity. This helps us understand how users engage with the Game, identify usability issues, troubleshoot problems, and improve the overall user experience and website performance.

We do not send promotional emails or newsletters.

3. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal data. We may share your data with third parties only in the following circumstances:

• If required by law, regulation, or legal process.
• For authentication purposes via Google, Discord, or Facebook OAuth providers, as chosen by you.
• With third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as website analytics. We use Microsoft Clarity for understanding user interactions. Microsoft collects and processes usage data on our behalf according to its own privacy policies. You can learn more about Microsoft's privacy practices here: Microsoft Privacy Statement.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We and our third-party service providers, like Microsoft Clarity, may use cookies, scripts, and similar technologies to analyze trends, administer the website, track users' movements around the website, and gather information about user interactions. Microsoft Clarity uses cookies and scripts to collect session replay and heatmap data. You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level, but if you choose to disable cookies, it may limit your use of certain features or functions on our website.

5. Data Retention & Account Deletion

• You can delete your account at any time via the profile page within the Game.
• Upon account deletion, all personal data associated with your account (Email, Name, Profile Picture, Game Progress) is instantly and permanently removed from our active databases.
• Aggregated and anonymized usage data collected by analytics tools like Microsoft Clarity may be retained for longer periods for analytical purposes but is not linked to your deleted personal account information.

6. Security

We implement reasonable security measures designed to protect your personal data from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any significant changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective Date" at the top. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
