Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how TacticArena ("TacticArena," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit tacticarena.net or use the TacticArena platform at app.tacticarena.net (together, the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of information:

• Account and waitlist information. When you join our waitlist or create an account, we collect your email address. This may be used to create an account with our authentication provider so we can email you when the platform launches or when there are updates relevant to you.
• Usage data. We collect information about how you interact with the Service, such as pages viewed, referring pages, approximate location (country/region level), device and browser type, and timestamps, via analytics tools.
• Cookies and similar technologies. We and our advertising and analytics partners use cookies, pixels, and similar technologies, as described in Section 3 below.
• Tournament and prize information. If you participate in a paid or eligibility-gated tournament, we may collect additional information necessary to verify eligibility and deliver prizes (for example, a payout method such as PayPal, Wise, or a crypto wallet address, and, where required by law, tax information).

2. How We Use Your Information

• To operate, maintain, and improve the Service.
• To create and manage your account and communicate with you about your account.
• To notify you about launches, tournaments, leaderboard results, and other updates you have signed up to receive.
• To run tournaments, verify eligibility, and deliver prizes.
• To detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, or security issues.
• To measure and improve the performance of the Service and our advertising.
• To comply with legal obligations.

3. Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising

We use a privacy-focused analytics service to understand aggregate usage of the Service. We also work with third-party advertising networks — including Google AdSense and other ad networks — to display ads on the Service.

Google AdSense.Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on the Service. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also visit www.aboutads.info to opt out of third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising.

Other ad networks.We may also display ads served by other third-party ad networks, which may set their own cookies or use similar technologies to serve and measure ads. We do not control these third parties' use of such technologies, and their practices are governed by their own privacy policies.

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some types of cookies may affect your experience of the Service and the ads you see.

4. Third-Party Services

We rely on the following categories of third-party service providers:

• Infrastructure and authentication (e.g., Supabase) to store account data, waitlist entries, and application data securely.
• Advertising networks (e.g., Google AdSense and other ad partners) to display ads that help keep the Service free to play.
• Analytics providers to understand how the Service is used.
• Payment and commerce platforms(e.g., Whop, PayPal, Wise) to process store purchases, subscriptions, or prize payouts. Purchases made through third-party platforms are subject to that platform's own privacy policy and terms.

We share only the information necessary for these providers to perform their services, and we require them to safeguard your information.

5. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Service, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Waitlist and account data is retained until you request deletion or your account is closed.

6. Your Rights and Choices

• You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information.
• You may unsubscribe from marketing or waitlist emails at any time.
• If you are located in Saudi Arabia, you have rights under the Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL), including the right to be informed, the right to access your data, and the right to request correction or destruction of your data.
• Depending on your location, you may have additional rights under laws such as the GDPR or CCPA, including the right to object to or restrict certain processing.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in Section 9.

7. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

8. International Data Transfers
