Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what personal information The Compound ("we", "us") collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. This page is maintained by the app owner to answer common privacy questions about the Service.

1. Information We Collect

• Account information you provide: email, screen name, avatar configuration, and optional profile details.
• Gameplay data: rooms you join, votes you cast, challenge results, chat messages, and season history.
• Device & usage data: browser type, IP address, timestamps, and interactions with the Service, used for reliability and abuse prevention.
• Payment data (if you subscribe): handled by our payment processor; we do not store full card numbers.

2. How We Use Information

• To operate the Service, run games, and personalize your experience.
• To keep the Service safe: detect fraud, enforce our Terms, moderate content.
• To communicate with you about your account, season milestones, and product updates.
• To improve the Service through aggregated analytics.

3. Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share limited data with service providers that help us run the Service (hosting, email delivery, payments, analytics), and when required by law. Public gameplay information — screen name, avatar, results, public messages — is visible to other players.

4. Cookies & Local Storage

We use cookies and browser local storage to keep you signed in, remember your preferences, and — only with your consent — measure product usage. See our Cookie Policy for the full list and manage your analytics choice below.

5. Data Retention

We retain account and gameplay data for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. You may request deletion at any time (see below).

6. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To exercise these rights, email inquiries@westcarmedia.com. You can also update most account information directly in your profile and settings.

7. Children

The Compound is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

8. Security

We use industry-standard safeguards to protect your information. No online service is 100% secure; please use a strong password and notify us of any suspected unauthorized access.

9. International Users

Your information may be processed in countries other than your own. We rely on appropriate legal mechanisms to protect data transferred internationally.

10. Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Material changes will be announced in the Service or by email.
