Privacy Policy

Welcome to AoEM Companion. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights when using our services.

1. Who We Are

AoEM Companion is a community platform designed for players of Age of Empires Mobile, offering communication tools, alliance features, chats, verification systems, and related tactical services.

2. Data We Collect

Depending on how you use the Platform, we may collect the following data:

  • Account Data: Email address, User ID, and display name. If using Google Sign-In, certain profile data is shared according to your Google settings.
  • Verification Uploads: Screenshots uploaded for governor account verification.
  • Communication Data: Direct messages, alliance chats, kingdom chats, event chats, and timestamps.
  • Technical Data: IP address (processed by our hosting provider), browser type, and session/error logs.

3. How We Use Your Data

  • Create and manage user accounts.
  • Operate chat systems and community governance features.
  • Process verification requests.
  • Maintain security, prevent abuse, and handle support requests.

4. Verification Screenshot Uploads

Screenshots uploaded for governor verification are used only for review purposes and are securely deleted after approval or rejection within a reasonable timeframe.

Important Notice: Please do not include sensitive real-world personal information in screenshots. Hide or remove unrelated private information when uploading.

5. Service Providers & Retention

We use trusted third-party providers (like Supabase for database/auth and Vercel for hosting) who may process data on our behalf. We retain data only as long as an account is active. Chat data is retained until deleted, and diagnostic logs belong to standard automated rotation.

6. Your Rights

Depending on applicable law (including GDPR if you are located in the European Economic Area), you have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal data.

Community Guidelines

AoEM Companion is built on trust, respect, and strategic cooperation. To keep the platform safe and enjoyable for everyone, all members must adhere to the following rules.

1. Respect & Conduct

Treat all players respectfully. Toxicity, hate speech, severe insults, and harassment are strictly prohibited. Disagreements over game politics are fine; personal attacks are not.

2. Witch-Hunting & Naming

Targeted harassment campaigns ("witch-hunting") against specific governors or alliances are not allowed. You may discuss in-game conflicts in official channels, but excessive public naming-and-shaming or coordinating abuse is forbidden.

3. Privacy matters

Do not share or attempt to extract real-world personal information (doxxing). Keep communications strictly about the game and platform features.

4. Verification Integrity

Submitting forged, modified, or stolen screenshots during the profile verification process is grounds for account termination.

We reserve the right to remove access, delete accounts, or moderate content without prior notice if these guidelines are severely violated.
