DATA PROTECTION

Protection Policy This Protection Policy outlines how we protect the data, gameplay, and experience of all users interacting with DomiNations and its associated services. Security, fairness, and service reliability are essential pillars of our game environment. By using our platform, players agree to the protections and responsibilities described below. 1. Data Security and Storage We safeguard user information to ensure it remains private and protected: All personal data (such as username, in-game progress, and preferences) is stored in secure environments, protected by access controls and encryption. We use modern encryption standards for all communication between the client and servers. Data is only retained as long as necessary for gameplay and account services. We do not share player data with outside entities unless required for critical services (e.g., payment or support systems). 2. Account Protection To keep your account secure, we implement multiple defense layers: Login systems support secure credential handling and timeout-based session management. Abnormal login behavior (e.g., from unknown devices or rapid attempts) is flagged and may trigger temporary locks or verifications. We encourage all players to use strong, unique passwords and keep their credentials confidential. 3. Anti-Cheat and Competitive Integrity DomiNations includes competitive multiplayer elements, and fairness is crucial: We deploy server-side validation, behavioral analysis, and cheat detection tools to monitor gameplay integrity. Tools such as hacks, speed mods, automation scripts, or network manipulation are strictly prohibited. Players engaging in unfair behavior may be temporarily suspended or permanently removed, with or without prior warning. Regular audits and system updates are used to strengthen anti-cheat logic as the game evolves. 4. Exploit Reporting and Game Logic Protection We rely on the community to maintain a fair battlefield: Players are expected to report unintended bugs or mechanics that offer unfair advantages. Exploiting glitches for progression, resource farming, or match manipulation is a serious violation. We reserve the right to adjust or revoke any progress, currency, or rankings obtained through exploitative means. 5. Infrastructure and Server Security Our servers are maintained with high standards of protection: Real-time traffic inspection, firewalls, and automated mitigation help defend against network threats such as DDoS attacks. System logs are regularly reviewed to detect abuse, anomalies, or unauthorized access. Game servers are patched and maintained to ensure uptime, stability, and fair play. 6. Communication and Social Features If the game includes alliances, chat, or message boards: All communications are expected to remain respectful, non-abusive, and appropriate for a global audience. Harassment, spam, hate speech, or impersonation may result in communication restrictions or account action. Players may report inappropriate content directly within the game where tools are available. 7. In-Game Purchases and Transaction Safety We protect players during purchases and resource transactions: All in-game payments are routed through secure, compliant payment services. Unauthorized chargebacks or refund abuse are monitored and may result in account restrictions. Purchases tied to special content are locked to the purchasing account and cannot be transferred or duplicated. 8. Device-Level Access and Permissions DomiNations requests only the permissions required for game operation: Access to local storage, notifications, or connectivity is handled transparently and used only to improve gameplay or sync progress. The app does not collect sensitive personal or device data unless explicitly required and authorized. 9. Misuse Prevention and Enforcement We take misuse of the platform seriously: Any attempt to reverse-engineer, clone, resell, or interfere with game systems is prohibited. Abusing report tools, impersonating staff, or submitting false support claims undermines community integrity and will be penalized. Penalties may include warnings, temporary blocks, permanent bans, or revocation of in-game assets. 10. Policy Updates As DomiNations expands and technology evolves, this Protection Policy may be updated to reflect new threats, features, or systems. Players are encouraged to check this policy regularly to stay informed. Continued use of the platform indicates agreement with the latest version.
