Privacy Policy

Erudit for iOS and iPadOS
Last updated: September 22, 2026

AK Games (“we”, “us”, or “our”) provides Erudit (the “App”) and is responsible for the personal data it processes. This policy explains what information is collected through the App, why it is used, who receives it, and how you can exercise your privacy rights.

For privacy questions and requests, contact oxothuk76@gmail.com.

1. Information we collect

The information processed depends on the features you use:

• Account and profile information: account identifiers, guest profile identifiers, player name, and any email address or profile image you provide when registering, signing in, or editing your profile. Authentication credentials are processed by the authentication service to manage access to your account.
• Gameplay and communications: game progress, moves, scores, rankings, achievements, virtual currency balances, multiplayer sessions, and messages you send through game communication features. If you submit a player report, we receive the last 10 chat messages, their dates, and available player names and identifiers.
• Purchases: product and transaction identifiers, purchase status, and the content or benefits granted. For App Store purchases, Apple processes your payment information; we do not receive your full payment card details.
• Technical and usage information: IP address, app and operating system versions, device characteristics, installation identifiers, language, session information, feature usage, game events, purchase events, ad interactions, and technical error information. Some of this information is collected automatically by the services described below.
• Support information: your email address, message, and any diagnostic information or attachments you choose to send us.
• Advertising information: Yandex may process device and app identifiers, IP address, device and network characteristics, approximate location inferred from IP address, and ad impressions and interactions. Access to the iOS advertising identifier (IDFA) requires permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency framework.

Profile information, rankings, and game activity may be visible to other players as part of multiplayer and leaderboard features. Messages are visible to their intended recipients. Avoid including sensitive personal information in your player name, profile, or messages.

2. How we use information

• Provide gameplay, authenticate players, synchronize progress, and operate multiplayer games and rankings.
• Verify purchases and deliver purchased content or earned rewards.
• Understand feature usage, configure the App, diagnose errors, and improve reliability and gameplay.
• Display and measure advertising through Yandex.
• Respond to support, player reports, and privacy requests, prevent abuse and fraud, and meet legal obligations.

Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we process data to provide the service you request, with your consent where required, to meet legal obligations, or for legitimate interests such as service security and improvement, subject to your rights. Installing the App or reading this policy does not itself constitute consent to tracking.

3. Service providers and sharing

We share information needed to operate the App with the following services:

• Yandex Mobile Ads: our advertising provider for the iOS App. Yandex processes advertising and technical information to deliver ads, measure performance, and detect fraud. See the Yandex Privacy Policy.
• Google Firebase: used for authentication, online game data, analytics, and remote configuration. Depending on the service, information may include account and installation identifiers, profile information, synchronized game data, device information, and usage events. Firebase is described here as an application infrastructure and analytics provider. See Firebase Privacy and Security and the Google Privacy Policy.
• Apple: processes App Store transactions and related purchase information under the Apple Privacy Policy.
• Hosting and technical service providers: process information needed to host our backend, store game data, and deliver the service.

Providers receiving personal data must protect it to a standard consistent with this policy and applicable requirements. We do not sell your account or contact information. Advertising-related processing is described above and remains subject to applicable consent requirements.

We may also disclose information when legally required, to protect users and the service from fraud or abuse, or as part of a business transfer subject to continued privacy protections. Providers may process information outside your country; where required, appropriate legal safeguards apply to such transfers.

4. Advertising, tracking, and your choices

The iOS App uses Yandex for advertising. Any tracking across other companies' apps or websites, or access to IDFA, requires your prior authorization through Apple's App Tracking Transparency permission prompt. Declining tracking permission must not prevent you from using the core game. Ads may still be displayed without tracking permission.

You can review or withdraw tracking permission in Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking on your iPhone or iPad. This setting controls tracking permission; it does not disable all operational data processing or analytics. To withdraw other consent you have given us, contact the email address below. Withdrawal does not affect processing already lawfully performed.

5. Data retention and deletion

We retain account and game information for as long as needed to provide your account and game features. Technical, analytics, and support information is retained only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy. Retention depends on the type of data, service settings, security needs, and applicable legal requirements.

You can initiate account deletion in the App by opening your profile and choosing “Delete account”. Confirm the request with your account password when prompted. If you cannot access the App, contact oxothuk76@gmail.com with the subject “Erudit — data deletion”. Include your player name or account identifier so we can locate your data. Do not send your password by email.

When handling a verified deletion request, we delete or anonymize associated personal data that is no longer required. Limited records may be retained where necessary for legal obligations, transaction records, fraud prevention, or resolving disputes. Backup copies may remain until replaced in the normal backup cycle and are not used for routine service operations. We will explain any applicable retention exception when responding to your request.

Removing the App from your device does not by itself delete your online account or server-side data. Account deletion may result in loss of saved progress and access to account-linked game content.

6. Your privacy rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal data, restrict or object to processing, and withdraw consent. Send requests to oxothuk76@gmail.com. We will respond within the time required by applicable law. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.

7. Children's privacy

Children require special privacy protections. Where parental consent is required by applicable law, a parent or guardian must provide that consent before the child's personal data is processed on that basis. If you believe a child has provided personal information without required consent, contact us so we can investigate and delete information where appropriate.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect personal information. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure. Please keep your account credentials confidential.

9. Changes and contact

We may update this policy to reflect changes in the App or applicable requirements. The updated policy will be published on this page with a revised date. Where required, we will provide notice and request consent before new processing begins.
