Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

We are a community fan site for the Arc Raiders game, not affiliated with or endorsed by Embark Studios. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your information when you use our website.

By using our site, you agree to the practices described here. If you don't agree, please don't use our services.

2. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address, username, display name, and avatar. This is used to give you access to community features and a personalized experience.

Steam Data (Optional)

If you choose to link your Steam account, we collect and store your Steam ID, display name, avatar, online status, country code, Arc Raiders playtime (total and last 2 weeks), gameplay statistics (such as enemies destroyed, loot collected, and revives), and achievement progress. This data is retrieved via the Steam Web API and is only collected when you explicitly link your account or view your profile.

Usage Data

We automatically collect basic data like login times and IP addresses for security purposes, such as detecting unauthorized access.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Verify your identity and manage your account.
• Enable community features like content sharing and social interactions.
• Deliver game content such as news, guides, and wiki data.
• Protect the platform from unauthorized access and abuse.
• Send you important account-related notifications.
• Display your Steam gaming statistics, playtime, and achievements on your profile and community leaderboards.
• Generate aggregated community statistics (e.g., total community playtime, achievement rarity rankings) from linked Steam accounts.

4. Cookies & Local Storage

We store a small amount of data in your browser to keep things working smoothly:

• Login session data so you stay signed in.
• Your language preference (Persian or English).
• Cached assets so pages load faster on repeat visits.

5. Third-Party Services

We use third-party services to run parts of our platform (authentication, hosting, email, etc.). These providers may process some of your data under their own privacy policies.

We also connect with Instagram and Telegram for community features. When you interact with those platforms through our site, their privacy policies apply.

When you link your Steam account, we retrieve data through the Steam Web API provided by Valve Corporation. Your Steam data is subject to the Steam Subscriber Agreement and Valve's Privacy Policy. We do not access your Steam password or make any changes to your Steam account. Data provided by Steam is powered by Valve and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Valve Corporation.

6. Data Security

We use industry-standard security practices to protect your data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and secure password storage. That said, no system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.

7. Data Retention & Deletion

We keep your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal information within 30 days unless we're required to keep it for legal reasons.

8. Children's Privacy

Our site is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with their data, please contact us so we can remove it.

9. Your Rights

You can:

• Request access to the personal data we have about you.
• Ask us to correct inaccurate information.
• Delete your account and all associated data.
• Request a copy of your data.
• Unlink your Steam account at any time from your dashboard, which will immediately remove all stored Steam data from our systems.

10. Changes to This Policy

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time, for any reason, without prior notice. Changes take effect immediately upon being posted. We may, but are not obligated to, notify you of changes via email, social media, or on the site itself. It is your responsibility to review this page periodically. Continued use of the site after any changes means you accept the updated policy.
