Your game. Your data.

Game World (Herní Svět in Czech) is operated by Epicsoft s.r.o., company ID 19597126, Zbraslavská 12/11, Malá Chuchle, 159 00 Praha, Czech Republic. We are the controller of the personal data described here. Contact us at info@game-world.fun.

What stays on your device

Offline games, saved matches, settings, statistics and achievements are stored on your device. You can play offline without creating an online account. Local network play shares your chosen nickname, avatar and game state with the other players at that table; it does not require our public game server. Device backups managed by Apple or Google may contain local app data, according to your device settings.

Online accounts and games

When you use online features, our server stores a random account identifier, your chosen nickname and avatar, the grammatical form you select, linked sign-in provider identifiers, and online game results (game, participants’ account identifiers, placement, score and match times). During a match it processes moves and the game state needed to run the table. Other players see your public profile and the game information intended for them.

You may sign in through Game Center, Google Play Games, Apple or Google, or use a guest account. We verify provider proofs; we do not receive your Apple or Google password. Google may provide basic profile information during sign-in, such as your name, email address and profile picture. We use the verified provider identifier to link your game account; we do not store the email address, real name or profile picture supplied by Google. Server access and refresh credentials are stored in your device’s protected credential storage; the server stores hashes of its own credentials. Apple tokens needed to revoke access are encrypted separately on the server. Linking accounts requires proof of both identities; we do not merge accounts by email.

If you enable Game Center or Play Games features, achievement unlocks and supported leaderboard scores are sent to that service, including progress earned offline once a connection is available. Apple and Google also process data under their own policies and account settings: Apple privacy and Google privacy.

Purpose and legal basis

We process account and gameplay data to provide the online service you request (performance of a contract). We process limited connection and security records to operate the service, prevent abuse and investigate failures (our legitimate interests in a reliable and secure service). If you contact support, we use your message and contact details to answer you. We do not sell personal data, run advertising trackers, build advertising profiles or use game data for automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects.

Who receives data

Our game server is hosted by Hetzner Cloud in Helsinki, Finland. Authorized operational staff may access data when needed for support or security. Apple and Google receive data when you choose their sign-in or gaming services; their processing may take place outside the European Economic Area under their published safeguards. Online opponents receive only the public profile and game information needed for your shared table. We may disclose information where required by law. The public website uses no advertising or analytics cookies; the administration area uses a necessary secure session cookie.

Retention and deletion

Your online profile, linked identifiers and results are retained while your account exists. In Profile → Game account → Delete game account and data, you can request permanent deletion from the app, including guest accounts. The confirmation explains the scope. A confirmed deletion removes your online account, linked identities, active sessions and stored online results, and clears the local profile, statistics, settings and saved games on the device making the request. It does not remotely erase local files on your other devices or achievements held independently by Game Center or Play Games.

Apple access is revoked when a usable token is available. If Apple is temporarily unavailable, only the encrypted credential required to complete revocation is retained for retry for up to seven days. If no revocable token exists for an older account, we still delete your account and explain how to remove the app in your Apple account settings. A credential-hash receipt is kept for 24 hours so an interrupted deletion request can safely recover its result.

Operational connection logs, including IP addresses and request status, are rotated daily with 14 archive files retained. A scheduled job removes archives older than 14 days; an interruption to that job may delay removal. Administrative security audit records are retained for up to 90 days. We keep at most 14 successful backup copies and a scheduled job removes copies older than 14 days; removed account records may remain in these restricted backups until rotation and are not used for ordinary service operation. For safe restoration, a separate ledger retains hashes of deleted account identifiers for 15 days. Backups older than 14 days are rejected for restoration and recorded erasures must be reapplied before normal operation. Support correspondence is retained only as needed to resolve the request and any applicable legal obligation.

Your choices and rights

You may request access, correction, erasure, restriction or portability of your data, and object to processing based on legitimate interests. Contact info@game-world.fun; we may need proportionate proof that the account is yours. You may complain to the Czech Office for Personal Data Protection or your local supervisory authority. Optional platform features can be disabled in app or platform settings. Changes to this policy will be published here with an updated date.
