Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 6, 2024

1. Overview

Auto Battle Game (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you interact with our marketing website, Devvit-powered Reddit experiences, gameplay services, and support channels (collectively, the “Services”).

By using the Services you agree to this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.

2. Relationship to Reddit Policies

When the Services interact with Reddit, we are bound by Reddit’s Developer Terms, Developer Data Protection Addendum, Data API Terms, Privacy Policy, Public Content Policy, Reddit Rules, Advertising Policy, Econ Terms, Previews Terms, and related documentation (collectively, the “Reddit Terms & Policies”). If those requirements are stricter than this Privacy Policy, Reddit’s rules take priority and are incorporated here by reference.

We monitor Reddit policy updates and adjust our practices accordingly. Reddit may also review our integrations for compliance at any time.

3. Key Points at a Glance

  • We collect only the information needed to provide gameplay, community, and support experiences.
  • We never sell Reddit data or personal information, and we avoid sharing data with advertisers or brokers.
  • We honor Reddit deletion events and user privacy controls and respond promptly to support requests.
  • You can contact us at privacy@autobattlegame.com to exercise your rights or ask questions.

4. Information We Collect

Information you provide

We collect information you submit directly, including Reddit usernames, subreddit roles, email addresses, gameplay preferences, feedback, support inquiries, contest entries, or other content shared through forms and messaging tools. If you purchase digital goods, our payment partners may process billing details on our behalf.

Information from Reddit

When you authorize our Devvit app, we receive the minimum Reddit data required to complete the requested action, such as your username, moderator permissions, or commands you trigger. We respect Reddit user settings and immediately revoke data when Reddit signals a removal or deletion.

Automatically collected information

We log device and usage data like IP address, browser type, operating system, referral URLs, page views, session duration, crash reports, and gameplay telemetry. We may use cookies, local storage, or similar tools to remember preferences and measure performance.

Information from service providers

We may receive limited information from hosting companies, analytics platforms, content moderators, anti-abuse partners, or other developers working with us to deliver the Services. We only partner with vendors who agree to protect data as described in this policy.

5. How We Use Information

We use the collected information to:

  • operate, personalize, and improve gameplay, community features, and support experiences;
  • authenticate you, maintain session continuity, and remember your preferences across devices;
  • communicate about updates, events, safety notices, and important policy changes;
  • monitor performance, debug issues, enforce safety guardrails, and prevent fraud or abuse;
  • comply with Reddit Terms & Policies, legal obligations, and enforcement requests; and
  • generate aggregated insights that do not identify individual users.

We do not use Reddit data to train or fine-tune external machine-learning models and we do not sell personal information.

6. Legal Bases for Processing

If you are in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we rely on the following legal bases to process personal data:

  • to provide the Services and fulfill our contract with you;
  • your consent, which you may withdraw at any time;
  • compliance with legal obligations; and
  • our legitimate interests in operating, securing, and improving the Services, provided those interests do not override your rights.

7. How We Share Information

We share information only when necessary:

  • with service providers that host our infrastructure, deliver analytics, moderate content, or provide customer support;
  • with Reddit and subreddit moderators as required to operate Devvit features, respond to reports, and enforce Reddit rules;
  • with other players or community members when you voluntarily share content or collaborate on in-app actions;
  • to comply with legal obligations, court orders, or governmental requests, or to protect the rights and safety of Auto Battle Game, our users, or others; and
  • as part of a corporate transaction (such as a merger or acquisition) subject to confidentiality and successor safeguards.

We do not disclose information to advertising networks, data brokers, or surveillance programs.

8. Cookies & Similar Technologies

We use cookies, local storage, and device identifiers to remember preferences, keep you signed in, and analyze usage trends. You can update your browser or device settings to limit cookies or request notifications when they are used. Disabling cookies may affect certain features. Where required, we honor applicable opt-out signals.

9. Data Retention

We keep personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Gameplay telemetry and analytics logs are generally deleted or anonymized within 30 days unless needed for security investigations. When Reddit notifies us of a post, comment, or account deletion, we promptly remove or anonymize related data from our systems and any connected services.

We may retain aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you.

10. Security

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards—including access controls, encryption in transit, security monitoring, and vendor assessments—to help protect personal information. No system is perfectly secure, so we encourage you to use strong passwords and contact us immediately if you suspect unauthorized activity.

11. Your Rights & Choices

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, update, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information. You can exercise many of these rights through Reddit’s account tools or by contacting us directly. You may also:

  • withdraw consent for optional data uses;
  • opt out of non-essential emails by using the unsubscribe link or contacting us;
  • adjust cookie and tracking preferences via your browser or device; and
  • appeal moderation or data decisions by emailing privacy@pixelmassive.com.

We will verify your identity before fulfilling a rights request and may decline requests that conflict with legal requirements or Reddit’s policies.

12. Region-Specific Notices

Residents of California, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, and Virginia may have additional rights under state privacy laws, including rights to know, delete, and correct personal information and to opt out of certain data sharing. We do not sell personal information or engage in targeted advertising. Authorized agents may submit requests on your behalf by providing proof of authorization.

Individuals in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland can lodge complaints with their local data protection authority if they believe our processing violates applicable law.

13. Children’s Privacy

The Services are not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under that age. If we learn that we have collected information from a child under 13 without appropriate consent, we will delete it promptly. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided us information should contact us at privacy@autobattlegame.com.

14. International Data Transfers

We may store and process information in the United States or other countries where we or our service providers operate. When personal data is transferred internationally, we rely on lawful mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses or other safeguards recognized by applicable law. By using the Services you consent to these transfers, acknowledging that other jurisdictions may have different data protection rules.

15. Generative AI & Automation

We only use Reddit-approved Large Language Models or automation providers for Devvit integrations. We do not feed Reddit data into external model training pipelines and we do not deploy automated decision making that produces legal or similarly significant effects without human oversight.

16. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect new features, legal requirements, or Reddit policy changes. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date and provide additional notice if the changes are material. Continued use of the Services after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

17. Contact Us

If you have questions, requests, or concerns about this Privacy Policy or our data practices, contact us at privacy@autobattlegame.com. We aim to respond promptly and appreciate your help keeping Auto Battle Game safe for the Reddit communities that rely on it.
