Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Account Information: We collect your email address, username, and encrypted password.

Platform Integration Data: To facilitate rewards, we collect and store your Kick.com Username and/or unique Stripe Customer ID. This data is used solely to map external transactions (subs/gifts/payments) to your in-game Credit balance.

Affiliate & Referral Data: We collect information regarding who referred you to the Game and whom you have referred. This includes a history of "Commission Credits" earned through our 2-tier system.

Gameplay Data: We collect in-game actions, inventory status, Credit balances, and interaction logs with "AI Crew Members" to provide and balance the game service.

Payment Information: Payment processing is handled by Stripe. We do not store credit card numbers. Stripe processes data subject to their own privacy policy.

2. How We Use Your Information

Operate the Game: To maintain your SINDICATO empire and synchronize your assets.

Process Rewards & Commissions: To calculate and distribute "Commission Credits" across our 2-tier affiliate structure (33% for Tier 1; 17% for Tier 2).

Automated Syncing: We use automated scripts to verify Kick subscription events and immediately update your virtual Credit wallet.

Fraud Prevention: To identify and prevent "self-referral" loops, chargeback fraud, or marketplace manipulation.

3. Information Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only as necessary:

• Stripe: For payment processing and processing "Cash Out" requests for affiliates.
• Kick.com (API): We verify your public subscription status via the Kick API to grant Credits.
• Referral Transparency: When you are referred by another User, that User (your "Referrer") may see your SINDICATO username and the amount of "Commission Credits" generated by your activity in their dashboard. No other personal or payment data is shared with Referrers.
• Infrastructure Providers: Supabase (Database/Auth) and Vercel (Hosting).

4. Data Security

We use industry-standard encryption. Passwords are salted and hashed. Transactional data is handled via secure webhooks from Stripe and Kick. While we implement rigorous safeguards, no digital system is 100% secure; we notify users of any significant data breach as required by law.

5. Your Rights & Choices

You have the right to:

• Access & Portability: Request a copy of your personal data and transaction history.
• Correction: Update your linked Kick username or email.
• Deletion: Request account deletion. Note that upon deletion, all virtual Credits, licensed assets, and pending affiliate commissions are permanently forfeited and cannot be recovered.
• Global Privacy Control (GPC): Our systems are configured to respect GPC signals regarding data sharing where applicable by law.

6. Children's Privacy

SINDICATO is a fictional crime simulation intended for adults. You must be 18 years or older to create an account or participate in the affiliate program. We do not knowingly collect data from minors.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our game economy or platform integrations. We will notify you of significant changes via the email associated with your account.
