This Privacy Policy explains how Sykes Games ("we", "us", "our") handles information in connection with the game Paint & Seek VR ("the Game"). By playing the Game, you agree to the practices described here.
Who we are
Sykes Games is an independent game developer operating as a sole trader in the United Kingdom. For any privacy questions, contact us at sykesgamesstudio@outlook.com.
Information we handle
The Game is an online multiplayer experience. To provide it, the following information may be processed:
- Account and identity information: Your platform username and account identifier (provided by Meta/Oculus) are used to identify you to other players in multiplayer sessions.
- Multiplayer session data: Your in-game position, movements, actions, and appearance are transmitted to other players in your session so the game can function. This is handled through our multiplayer service provider, Photon (Exit Games GmbH).
- Voice chat: If voice chat is enabled, your voice audio is transmitted in real time to other players in your session. We do not record or store voice data.
- Gameplay data: Basic gameplay information (such as scores or session data) may be processed to run the Game.
How we use information
We use this information solely to operate the Game's multiplayer features, match you with other players, and provide the intended gameplay experience. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for advertising.
Third-party services
The Game relies on third-party services that process data as part of delivering the Game, including:
- Meta/Oculus (platform and account services) — see Meta's privacy policy.
- Photon / Exit Games GmbH (multiplayer networking) — see Photon's privacy policy.
These providers handle data according to their own privacy policies.
Children's privacy
The Game may be played by younger users. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children beyond what is necessary to provide the multiplayer game experience, and we do not use any information for advertising or profiling. We encourage parents and guardians to supervise their children's use of online multiplayer games and voice chat. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information and you would like it addressed, please contact us at sykesgamesstudio@outlook.com.
Data retention
We do not maintain our own long-term store of personal player data beyond what is required to operate the Game. Multiplayer session data (position, voice) exists only for the duration of a session and is not retained by us.
Your rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights over your personal data (such as access, correction, or deletion). To exercise any such rights, contact us at sykesgamesstudio@outlook.com.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will always be available at this page.
