Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 1, 2026

The short version

• We collect your Sign in with Apple token (for authentication), your in‑app handle, and gameplay activity.
• We do not see your real name or email unless you explicitly share them with us.
• We do not sell your data.
• If you ask us to delete your account, we delete personal data within 30 days (subject to legal retention needs).

This policy explains what we collect, what we don’t, what’s public, and your choices.

1) What we collect

We collect only what we need to run the game, keep it fair, and improve it.

• Account and identifiers

  • Apple ID token (opaque identifier for Sign in with Apple)
  • In‑app handle and basic profile (e.g., avatar, bio if provided)

• Gameplay and app activity

  • Trades, positions, balances (virtual), league participation, brackets, scores
  • Feature usage events (e.g., opened league page, used boost)
  • Anti‑cheat signals (e.g., suspicious automation patterns)

• Device and diagnostics

  • Device model, OS version, app version, time zone, language
  • Crash logs and performance metrics

• Website analytics (when you visit our site)

  • Page views, referrers, coarse location from IP (city/region), and similar analytics
  • Cookies or local storage as needed for preferences and analytics

We store gameplay/account data in an anonymized or pseudonymous form wherever practical.

2) What we do not collect

• We do not collect your real name or email address unless you explicitly share them with us (e.g., support contact, waitlist form).
• We do not collect financial account numbers, government IDs, or precise GPS location.
• We do not collect your contacts, photos, or messages.

3) What is public

To make the game competitive and social, some information is public:

• Your handle, avatar, and high‑level stats (e.g., rank, bracket, league placement)
• Leaderboards, league participation, and other competition results

You can change your handle, but historical results may remain visible.

4) How we use your data

• Provide and improve the Service (sign‑in, gameplay, leagues, leaderboards)
• Maintain fair play and detect abuse (anti‑cheat, fraud prevention)
• Analyze usage to prioritize features and fix issues
• Communicate service updates, policy changes, or issues
• Comply with law, enforce our Terms, and protect our users and Service

5) Legal bases (EEA/UK)

If you’re in the EEA/UK, we process your data on these bases:

• Contract (to provide the Service)
• Legitimate interests (security, fraud prevention, analytics, improvements)
• Consent where required (e.g., certain analytics or marketing)

6) Sharing your data

We do not sell your personal data. We share limited data with:

• Service providers (cloud hosting, analytics, crash reporting, customer support) under confidentiality and data‑processing terms
• Law enforcement or legal requests when required by applicable law
• Successors in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, under this Policy’s protections

7) Data retention and deletion

• We keep account and gameplay data while you have an account and for a reasonable period afterward to maintain the integrity of leagues and prevent abuse.
• If you request deletion, we will delete personal data within 30 days, subject to:
  • Legal requirements (e.g., fraud logs, security records)
  • Legitimate interests to maintain integrity of aggregate stats and anti‑abuse systems (in which case we will retain only de‑identified data).

8) Security

We use industry‑standard measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

9) Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

• Access, correct, or delete your data
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Port your data to another service
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent

To exercise rights, contact support@futureape.app. We may need to verify your identity.

10) Children

The Service is not directed to children under 13. If we learn we’ve collected personal data from a child under 13 (or the applicable minimum age), we will delete it.

11) International transfers

We may process data in the United States and other countries. When we transfer personal data internationally, we use appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses).

12) Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies or similar technologies on our website to remember preferences and measure analytics. You can control cookies via your browser settings; some features may not work without them.

13) Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy. We will post updates with a new “Last updated” date and, where required, notify you in the app or by other reasonable means.
