Section 01
What we collect
We keep collection to the minimum needed to run the game and improve it. Depending on whether you play as a guest or a registered member, this may include:
- Account data: a username, and for registered members an email address and a securely hashed password.
- Device and region signals (only with your consent): browser, operating system, device type, language, time zone, and approximate location (country, region, city) derived from your IP address.
- Gameplay data: progress, level, in-game cash and items, achievements, and similar state needed to save your game.
- Local storage on your device: your settings, language, and consent choice.
Section 02
How we use it
We use this data to run the game, save your progress, keep accounts secure, prevent cheating and abuse, and improve and regionalize the experience (for example, surfacing relevant rooms or content). We do not use it for third-party advertising and we do not sell it.
Section 03
Consent and your choices
Device and region signals are collected only after you accept the consent banner. If you decline, you can keep playing and that data is not gathered. You can change your mind by clearing the site data in your browser, which resets the prompt.
Section 04
Service providers
We use Google Firebase (authentication, database, hosting, and optional analytics) to operate the game, and the free ipwho.is service to translate your IP address into an approximate location. These providers process data on our behalf under their own terms; we share only what is necessary.
Section 05
Data retention
We keep account and gameplay data for as long as your account exists. If you ask us to delete your account, we remove your personal data except where we must keep it to meet a legal obligation.
Section 06
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, and to withdraw consent. To make a request, contact us at contact@lightacig.com and we will respond within a reasonable time.
Section 07
Children
Light A Cig is not directed at children. The game depicts a fictional adult activity and is intended for an adult audience. We do not knowingly collect data from children under the age required by your local law.
Section 08
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the game evolves. We will update the date above when we do, and significant changes will be highlighted in the game.
