Tycoon: The Grand Pauper

Lunaria Creative LLC · Effective Date: May 6, 2025

Introduction

Welcome to Tycoon: The Grand Pauper (the "App"), developed and operated by Lunaria Creative LLC ("we," "us," or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application.

By downloading or using the App, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

Information We Collect

An account is not required to use the App. You may play the game without creating an account or providing any personal information. However, if you wish to access online multiplayer features or save your game data to the cloud, you will need to create an account.

If you choose to create an account, we collect only the information necessary to provide and improve your experience. Specifically:

Username — A display name you choose to identify yourself in online multiplayer. This does not need to be your real name.
Email Address — Used to create and manage your account, send important updates, and provide customer support.
Password — Stored securely using Firebase Authentication, which automatically hashes and salts passwords using industry-standard encryption. We never store passwords in plain text.

Alternatively, you may sign in with Google or Apple. If you choose this option, we receive limited profile information from those providers (typically your email address and a unique identifier) in accordance with their own privacy policies.

We do not collect your real name, location data, payment information, device identifiers, or any other personal information beyond what is listed above.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

Account creation and authentication
Storing your game save data in the cloud so it syncs across multiple devices
Communicating with you about your account or the App
Enabling online multiplayer features, including displaying your username to other players
Improving the App's functionality and user experience
Responding to your inquiries and providing customer support

Legal Basis for Processing (EU Users)

If you are located in the European Union or European Economic Area, we process your personal data under the following legal bases as defined by the GDPR:

Contract Performance — Processing your name and email is necessary to create and manage your account and provide the App's services.
Legitimate Interests — We may process your data where it is in our legitimate interest, such as to improve the App and prevent fraud.
Legal Obligation — We may process your data where necessary to comply with a legal obligation.
Consent — Where we rely on consent as a legal basis, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

Lunaria Creative LLC does not sell, rent, trade, or share your personal information with any third parties for marketing or advertising purposes. We will only disclose your information in the following limited circumstances:

Legal Compliance — If required by law, regulation, or valid legal process.
Protection of Rights — If we believe disclosure is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Lunaria Creative LLC, our users, or the public.
Business Transfer — In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of company assets, your information may be transferred. We will notify you before your information becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.

International Data Transfers

Lunaria Creative LLC is based in the United States. If you are accessing the App from the European Union or European Economic Area, please be aware that your personal data may be transferred to and processed in the United States, which may not provide the same level of data protection as your home country.

Where we transfer personal data outside the EU/EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission, or other legally recognized transfer mechanisms.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the App's services. You may delete your account at any time directly within the App. Upon account deletion, your account is deactivated immediately and all personal data is permanently removed from our servers within 7 days, unless we are required to retain it for legal obligations or to resolve disputes.

Data Security

We take the security of your personal information seriously and implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect it from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.

No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify affected users and relevant authorities as required by applicable law, including within 72 hours where required under GDPR.

Children's Privacy

The App is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or 16 where required by applicable law, such as under GDPR). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under these ages. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact us immediately and we will take steps to delete it.

Request disclosure of what personal information we collect, use, disclose, and sell about you.

Right to Delete

Request deletion of personal information we've collected. You may also delete your account directly within the App.

Right to Opt-Out

We do not sell your personal information, so no opt-out is necessary.

Non-Discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of your CCPA rights.

To exercise your California privacy rights, please contact us using the information in Section 13. We will respond to verifiable requests within 45 days.
