PRIVACY POLICY

Overview & Scope

Cytory (the "App") is a product developed by Cytory LLC. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through full compliance with this Data Protection & Privacy Protocol.

Data We Collect

• Authentication: We use Google Sign-In to authenticate users. We collect your Google ID and email address solely to manage your account identity and "Neural Pulse" balance.
• Game Data & Local Sovereignty: All game sessions, character statistics, and narrative campaign logs are stored locally on your device or in your personal Google Drive (App Data folder). We do not store your campaign narrative data on our servers.

Use of Information

We use your authentication data strictly to:

• Provide seamless account access across multiple authorized devices.
• Manage and protect your "Neural Pulse" (in-app currency) transactions.
• Provide technical support, error resolution, and essential service updates.

Third-Party Integrations

The App integrates with the following trusted third-party services:

• Google Play Services: Used for secure user authentication and Google Play in-app purchases.
• Google Drive API: Allows you to sync game save snapshots to your own cloud storage. We only access the dedicated "App Data" folder and cannot access any other files in your Google Drive.
• OpenAI / Anthropic: Used to generate dynamic AI narrative content. Your gameplay actions are transmitted anonymously; no personally identifiable information (PII) is included in AI requests.

Data Retention & Security Protocol

• Data Retention: Account authentication data (Google ID and pulse balance) is retained only as long as your account is active. You may request account deletion at any time by contacting support.
• Security Standards: We implement industry-standard cryptographic measures, including cryptographically signed ID tokens for authentication, to protect your account and currency balance.
