Data collected – data that Gamious collects
1. When you play Turmoil we receive from Apple your Game Center display name, which is used to identify you towards other Apple Arcade subscribers. We always use a unique, auto-generated name to identify Apple Arcade subscribers to players on other platforms (in this case non-Arcade subscribers), and vice versa. We display the name in all game contexts, including leaderboards. The name stays the same across sessions. This unique name is auto-generated and different from your Apple Game Center display name.
2. When you participate in a daily challenge, we store your score, and a full replay of the level/actions you took during that level, this so that other players can click on your score in the high score and see how you played your level.
3. Information relating to the game is stored locally on the player’s device. This data includes information about a player’s progress through the game (including unlocked upgrades) and is necessary for players to be able to continue their game where they last stopped playing.
4. Information relating to the game is stored on our servers when you consent to this, to allow you to play campaigns, play cross-device, participate in daily challenges, and to appear in the leaderboard.
5. Date of last login. This is used to delete user data after the user hasn’t logged in for more than 2 years.
When you play Turmoil no other data is processed.
Who is affected
Turmoil data relates only to players of the Turmoil game.
What is data used for, and on what basis
The data is used to support the internal operations of the game, and a legitimate interest of Apple and Gamious to offer you all the functionality of the Turmoil game.

Disclosures to third parties

Data retention
As long as a player has an active game account, their data is stored. This stored data ensures that players can continue playing the game where they most recently stopped playing and is used for no other purpose than to ensure the functioning of the game.
Gamious removes personal data it stores after 2 years of inactivity.
Gamious does not retain or store any other player data.
Players may decline to send data to Gamious’ servers.

You can do this separately for the Daily Challenge and leaderboards, and separately for the campaign mode and cross-device play for Apple Arcade.
As a result you will not be able to participate in the Daily Challenge, appear on leaderboards or be able to make use of cloud saving functionality for campaigns.
Young players
Protecting the privacy of children is of the utmost important to us and we do our best to meet both EU and U.S. standards. The game has been designed to be family friendly and to be suitable for use by children.
When you play Turmoil we receive from Apple your Game Center display name, which is used to identify you towards other Apple Arcade subscribers. We always use a unique, auto-generated name to identify Apple Arcade subscribers to players on other platforms (in this case non-Arcade subscribers), and vice versa. We display the name in all game contexts, including leaderboards.
The name stays the same across sessions. This unique name is auto-generated and different from your Apple Game Center display name.
If you or your parent or guard do not wish that your nickname is shared on the Turmoil leaderboards for other Apple Arcade players, you can sign out of Game Center in Apple Settings to avoid sharing with other Apple Arcade users. Your Game Center nickname will never be shared with players outside of the Apple Arcade environment.
If you or your parent or guard wish to avoid sharing any auto-generated name with non-Apple Arcade subscribers, or do not wish to share any data at all, you can decline consent when we ask for it, or a later point revoke your consent in the game’s settings. This means you can no longer participate in the Daily Challenge, appear on leaderboards or be able to make use of cloud saving functionality for campaigns.
