When you create an account, we collect:
- Email address
- Password (stored securely as a one-way hash; we never have access to your plaintext password)
- A unique user identifier assigned by our authentication provider
1.2 Profile & Game Information
When you join or create an alliance, you may provide:
- In-game player name
- Game metrics (power level, headquarters level, resistance level)
- Hero roster details (hero names, levels, rarity, vehicle type)
- Preferred squad type and combat role
- Availability schedule (days and times)

1.3 Alliance & Event Data
When you participate in alliance activities, we process:

- Safe time votes

1.4 Screenshot Data
If you use our AI-powered screenshot scanning feature, you may upload in-game screenshots for automated data extraction. These images are processed in real time by our AI service and are not stored. The images exist only in temporary server memory during processing (typically under 30 seconds) and are immediately discarded. Only the extracted structured data (player names and scores) is retained.
1.5 Payment Information
If you subscribe to a paid plan, payment processing is handled entirely by Stripe. We do not receive or store your full card number, expiry date, or CVV. We receive only a subscription identifier, plan type, and billing status from Stripe to manage your account tier.
1.6 Usage & Analytics Data
We use Google Analytics to understand how the Service is used. This may collect:
- Pages visited and features used
- Browser type and device category
- Approximate geographic location (country/region level, derived from IP address)
- Referring website
- Session duration and interaction patterns
Google Analytics uses cookies to collect this data. See our Cookie Policy for details on how to opt out.
1.7 Server Logs
Our cloud infrastructure (AWS) automatically logs technical information such as request timestamps, HTTP status codes, and error messages. These logs are retained for up to 30 days and are used solely for debugging and service reliability. We do not systematically collect or store IP addresses, user agent strings, or device identifiers in our application logs.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide the Service — create and manage your account, process alliance memberships, coordinate events, display rankings and schedules
- Process payments — manage subscriptions, apply the correct feature tier to your alliance
- Extract data from screenshots — use AI to read player rankings from uploaded game screenshots, returning structured data to your alliance
- Improve the Service — analyse usage patterns to fix bugs, improve performance, and develop new features
- Communicate with you — respond to support requests, send essential service notifications (e.g., billing confirmations, security alerts)
- Ensure security — detect and prevent abuse, enforce our Terms of Service, rate-limit API usage
We do not sell your personal data. We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects.
