Information We Collect

We collect information in three ways: (A) information you provide, (B) information collected automatically, and (C) information from third parties.

A. Information You Provide

Depending on what you do in the Services, you may provide:

• Account details: username, email, password (stored in hashed form if you use a secure authentication provider), profile settings
• Gameplay data you submit: character/avatar customization data, saved preferences, progress, inventory, achievements, in-game currency balance, game settings
• User content: chat messages, support tickets, messages you send us, reports/feedback, screenshots or attachments you upload
• Verification or security info: anti-fraud signals you send (for example, proof-of-completion for rewarded ads, if applicable)

You do not have to provide optional information, but some features may not work without it.

B. Information Collected Automatically

When you use the Services, we may automatically collect:

• Device & network information: IP address, device type, browser type, operating system, language, time zone, approximate location (city/region inferred from IP), referral URLs
• Identifiers: cookie identifiers, device identifiers, advertising identifiers (where available), session IDs
• Usage data: pages viewed, actions taken, logins, time spent, crash reports, performance metrics, and diagnostic logs
• Security data: information used to help prevent cheating, abuse, fraud, or unauthorized access

C. Information From Third Parties

We may receive information from:

• Advertising services (including rewarded video): ad impression events, reward completion signals, anti-fraud signals, and basic device/ad identifiers
• Analytics providers: aggregated usage insights and event measurements
• Infrastructure providers (hosting/CDN, DDoS protection): IP-based security signals, request logs
• Login providers (if used): a unique user ID and basic profile info consistent with your login settings (for example, Google/Discord login)

Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use cookies, pixels, SDKs, local storage, and similar technologies to:

• Keep you signed in (where applicable)
• Remember preferences
• Operate rewarded ads and help prevent fraud
• Measure usage and performance
• Protect the Services (security and abuse prevention)

Your Choices

You can control cookies via your browser settings. Some features may not function properly if you block certain cookies or storage.

If we use a cookie banner/consent tool, you can also manage your preferences there.

How We Use Your Information

We use information to:

• Provide and operate the Services (accounts, gameplay, saves, rewards, support)
• Process and deliver rewards you voluntarily earn (for example, rewarded video ad quests)
• Maintain safety and integrity (anti-fraud, anti-cheat, abuse prevention, security monitoring)
• Improve and develop the Services (bug fixes, performance, feature design)
• Communicate with you (support responses, important notices, policy updates)
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms
• Advertising and measurement (show ads, frequency capping, attribution, aggregated reporting)

Legal Bases (EEA/UK and Similar Regions)

If you are in the EEA/UK (or where similar laws apply), we process personal data under these bases:

• Contract: to provide gameplay, accounts, rewards, and support
• Legitimate interests: security, fraud prevention, analytics, service improvement
• Consent: where required for certain cookies/ads/marketing
• Legal obligation: compliance and lawful requests

You can withdraw consent where processing is based on consent (this will not affect processing already done).

How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information in the traditional sense. We may share information in these situations:

A. Service Providers

We share information with vendors who help us run the Services, such as:

• Hosting, databases, and storage
• Analytics and crash reporting
• Customer support tools
• Security and fraud prevention
• Content delivery networks (CDNs)

They are authorized to use information only as needed to provide services to us.

B. Advertising Partner (Including Rewarded Video)

If you use rewarded ad features, our advertising partner may collect or receive identifiers and device information to:

• Show ads
• Measure ad performance
• Detect fraud/invalid traffic
• Confirm reward eligibility

Rewarded ads are optional—you choose to access the ad-quest page/feature.

C. Legal and Safety

We may disclose information if we believe in good faith that it is necessary to:

• Comply with laws or legal process
• Protect rights, safety, and security of users or the public
• Prevent fraud, abuse, or security incidents
• Enforce our terms or policies

D. Business Transfers

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction (with appropriate protections).

Advertising, Rewarded Ads, and Game Rewards

Koritsuki may offer ads, including rewarded video ads. If we do:

• You voluntarily choose to watch an ad to earn in-game currency or items.
• We and/or our advertising partner may record ad completion events and anti-fraud signals to prevent duplicate or invalid rewards.
• Rewards may be denied or reversed if systems detect suspected abuse, automated behavior, invalid traffic, or policy violations.
• We may apply cooldowns, daily caps, and eligibility rules to protect the game economy and ad integrity.
• Rewarded ads may not always be available (availability can vary by region, device, time, or inventory).

Ad Partner (current): Google

Google may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver, measure, and improve ads. Where permitted, Google may serve interest-based (personalized) ads based on information such as your device/browser information, approximate location (derived from IP address), and interactions with ads and our site.

If you access Koritsuki from the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we may show a consent message and request your choices before serving certain types of ads, as required by applicable law. Your choices may affect whether personalized ads are shown.

Data Retention

We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary to:

• Provide the Services
• Maintain accounts and game progress
• Comply with legal obligations
• Resolve disputes
• Enforce agreements
• Prevent fraud and abuse

Retention periods vary depending on the data type. If you request deletion, we will delete or anonymize data unless we need to keep it for legal or security reasons.

Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information. However, no system is 100% secure. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials confidential.

Children's Privacy

Our Services are not intended for children under 13 (or under the minimum age required by your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us at [email protected] and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:

• Access: request a copy of personal information we hold
• Delete: request deletion of personal information
• Correct: request correction of inaccurate information
• Portability: request a portable copy (where applicable)
• Opt out: opt out of targeted advertising / "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising (where applicable)
• Restrict or object: restrict or object to certain processing (EEA/UK)

To make a request, contact [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before completing your request.

Marketing Emails

If we send marketing emails, you can unsubscribe using the link in the message. (Service messages may still be sent when necessary.)

U.S. State Disclosures (California and Similar Laws)

If you are a resident of California (and certain other states), you may have additional rights.

Categories of Personal Information (Examples)

We may collect categories such as:

• Identifiers (email, username, IP address, cookie/device IDs)
• Internet/network activity (usage logs, interactions)
• Approximate location (derived from IP)
• Commercial information (in-game transactions if applicable)
• Inferences (fraud risk signals, basic preference predictions)

"Sale" / "Sharing"

Some privacy laws define "selling" or "sharing" broadly to include certain targeted advertising practices. If applicable, you can opt out by contacting us at [email protected] and writing "Opt out of targeted advertising".

If you implement a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link, place it prominently in your website footer and settings page.

International Transfers

If you access the Services from outside the country where our servers or providers are located, your information may be transferred and processed internationally. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (such as contractual protections) for cross-border transfers.

Third-Party Links and Services

The Services may contain links to third-party sites or use third-party SDKs (ads, analytics). Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, not ours. We encourage you to review them.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date and may provide additional notice if required by law. Your continued use of the Services after an update means you accept the updated policy.
