Privacy Policy

1. Google API Services & User Data Policy Compliance

If you interact with features integrated with Google APIs (such as Google Sign-In, Google Drive save synchronization, or Cloud authentication):

• Data Requested: When authenticating via Google OAuth 2.0, we request only minimum profile scopes (openid, email, profile) necessary to identify your user profile and authenticate license entitlements.
• Strict Purpose Limitation: Google user data is strictly utilized to authenticate your identity, verify software entitlement status, and synchronize your own user-configured backup files. We never use Google data for advertising, market profiling, or data brokerage.
• Limited Use Disclosure: NetrunnerGames' use and transfer of information received from Google APIs to any other app will adhere to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.
• No Human Review of Google User Data: No employees, contractors, or third parties ever access or read your private Google data or authentication tokens unless required by law or with your explicit, written affirmative consent for technical troubleshooting.

2. Information We Collect

We prioritize data minimization. The only categories of information collected or processed include:

3. How We Use Your Information

• To verify authorized software access and activate community feature entitlements.
• To deliver automatic application updates, sub-megabyte binary delta patches, and critical security patches.
• To query public metadata APIs (such as Steam storefront endpoints) for display of game details and game cover artwork.
• To resolve support requests and troubleshoot operational issues when initiated by the user.

4. Data Sharing & Third-Party Services

We do not sell, rent, monetize, or trade your personal information. Data is only shared with trusted cloud infrastructure providers strictly necessary to operate our software:

• Cloudflare (Edge Network & DDoS Protection): Operates our API gateways, CDN edge caching, and DNS-over-HTTPS.
• Neon Database (Managed PostgreSQL): Houses encrypted authorization records and entitlement mappings.
• GitHub: Hosts public release artifacts and changelog repositories.

5. Security & Local Machine Protection

On Windows workstations, client-side sensitive tokens are protected using the Windows Data Protection API (DPAPI) with DataProtectionScope.LocalMachine or CurrentUser, ensuring cached authentication credentials cannot be read by other users or transferred to foreign machines.

All network transmission uses enforced Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3 / HTTPS) with end-to-end cryptographic verification.

6. Data Retention, User Rights & Deletion

You retain full control over your data. In compliance with GDPR, CCPA, and Google API Policies, you have the right to:

• Request Access: Inspect what account information or entitlements are stored under your profile.
• Request Deletion: Permanently purge your account, entitlement bindings, and cloud save data from our database.
• Revoke Permissions: Revoke Google or Discord OAuth permissions at any time via your Google Security Settings or Discord Authorized Apps settings.

To request complete account and data erasure, contact us at privacy@netrunner.games or submit an inquiry through our Contact page. Requests are fulfilled within 30 days.

7. Children's Privacy

Our Services are intended for general gaming audiences and are not directed at children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in certain jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
