SimppleGames Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy is prepared in accordance with the 「Personal Information Protection Act」 and related laws.

This Privacy Policy describes how your personal information is collected, used, and protected when you use the website (https://simpplegames.kro.kr/) and the SurvivalOfRunt game service (collectively, the 'Service'). The website (https://simpplegames.kro.kr/) is operated for the sole purpose of providing information about the SurvivalOfRunt game, and no personal information is collected on the website itself. 'You' refers to the individual using the Service.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect the following information in connection with your use of the SurvivalOfRunt game service:

1.1 Epic Games Account Information and Permissions

SimppleGames utilizes Epic Games' Online Services (EOS) to provide the SurvivalOfRunt service. In doing so, the game may request or use the following Epic Games account permissions (scopes). **However, we do not collect or store any additional personally identifiable information beyond the PUID and game progress data explicitly stated below.**

• Epic Games Account Unique Identifier (PUID): When you access the SurvivalOfRunt game service through your Steam or Epic Games account, we only collect **your unique identifier (PUID, Product User ID) from your Epic Games account**. This PUID is used within the SurvivalOfRunt game to identify you and **link with your game progress data**. We do not collect or access any other personal identifying information from your account, such as email address, name, or phone number, beyond the PUID.
• Epic Games Account Basic Profile (basic_profile): This permission allows us to read your Epic Games account display name, language preference, and linked account display names. While SurvivalOfRunt may obtain display names through this permission, **we do not collect or store the display name itself or any other personal identifying information on our servers beyond the PUID.** Within the game, an anonymized player ID linked to your PUID or an in-game generated nickname may be used.
• Online Presence (presence): This permission is used to set the current user's online presence and receive online presence updates from their friends. **This information is used temporarily for real-time gameplay and social features (e.g., inviting friends, displaying online status) but is not collected or stored on our servers.**
• Friends List (friends_list): This permission allows read access to the friends list for the current user's account. **This information is used temporarily to support in-game social features such as inviting friends or playing with friends but is not collected or stored on our servers.**
• Country (country): This permission allows read access to the country of the current user's account. **This permission is not used by SurvivalOfRunt.**

1.2 Game Progress Data

We collect and store the following information generated while you play the SurvivalOfRunt game, linked to your PUID. This data is essential for maintaining and managing your game experience, as well as for interactions with other players and game progression. Game progress data we collect may include, but is not limited to:

• Player level and experience information
• In-game currency and item ownership information
• User custom outfits and appearance settings
• Inventory items and equipment information
• Game performance records (e.g., win/loss records, kill/death ratio, specific action records, etc.)

1.3 In-game Screenshots (for Bug Reporting Purposes)

We only collect **in-game screenshots** if you **voluntarily attach and submit them through the bug reporting feature** within the SurvivalOfRunt game. These screenshots are used solely for the purpose of **identifying and fixing reported bugs**. We do not automatically collect in-game screenshots without your consent.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information (PUID, game progress data, bug report screenshots) only for the following purposes:

• Providing SurvivalOfRunt Service and Linking Game Data: We use your PUID to identify you when you access the SurvivalOfRunt game service and to **store, load, and manage your game progress data (level, experience, currency, items, outfits, records, achievements, etc.)** to provide a continuous game experience and enable interactions with other players (e.g., leaderboards, matchmaking).
• Identifying and Fixing SurvivalOfRunt Bugs: Screenshots voluntarily submitted through the bug reporting feature are used solely for the purpose of identifying and fixing reported bugs.
• SurvivalOfRunt Service Operations and Technical Support: In case of issues with game data linking or if technical support is needed, your PUID may be used to identify related SurvivalOfRunt game data to resolve problems. Game progress data may be anonymized or de-identified for internal analysis aimed at improving game operations and services.

3. Sharing and Disclosure of Your Information

We do not disclose or share any of your personal information, including your PUID, game progress data, or screenshots submitted through bug reports, with outside parties. However, exceptions may be made if required by law or in response to valid requests from courts or government authorities.

4. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. We promptly delete your information once the purpose of collection and use has been achieved, except where we are legally obligated to retain it for a certain period.

• PUID and Game Progress Data: Retained for the duration of the SurvivalOfRunt service provision. If you stop using the service or request account deletion, the related data will be promptly deleted.
• In-game Screenshots (Bug Reporting): Deleted promptly after the reported bug is identified and fixed, or when the purpose of retaining bug report data has been achieved.

5. Security of Your Information

We take reasonable technical and administrative measures to protect the personal information we collect (PUID, game progress data, bug report screenshots) from loss, theft, unauthorized access, falsification, or alteration. However, please note that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Our SurvivalOfRunt game service is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.
