This Privacy Policy describes how Metaforge (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you use our online game services, including Brigade and related sites at metaforge.net.
Information We Collect
When you create an account, we collect a username and email address. We do not collect your real name, address, phone number, or payment card information directly — subscription billing is handled by our payment processor and we do not store payment details on our servers.
We automatically collect gameplay data including game records, results, rankings, and replay files associated with your account. We also collect standard server logs (IP address, browser type, pages visited, timestamps) for security and operational purposes.
How We Use Your Information
- To operate the game service and maintain your account
- To deliver your password and account-related email notifications
- To calculate rankings and display game results
- To detect and prevent abuse, cheating, or unauthorized access
- To improve the service over time
We do not send marketing email or newsletters without your explicit opt-in.
Information Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. Your username and game records are publicly visible on the site as part of normal gameplay. Your email address is never displayed publicly.
We may disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Metaforge, our users, or others.
Cookies and Sessions
We use session cookies to keep you logged in during your visit. These cookies expire when you close your browser or log out. We do not use third-party tracking cookies or advertising cookies.
Data Retention
We retain your account and gameplay data for as long as your account is active. If you wish to have your account and associated data deleted, contact us at the address below.
Children’s Privacy
Our services are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
