Last Updated: February 16, 2025

This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes how Gnome Labs (“Gnome Labs,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards your personal data when you access or use our website, https://talesgame.com (the “Site”), or our Tales & Conquest™ video game (the “Game”). By accessing or using the Site or the Game, you agree to the terms of this Policy.

1. Scope & Applicability

1.1 Global Coverage. This Policy applies globally to all users of our Site and Game, including those in the European Union (EU), the United States, and other regions.

1.2 User Acknowledgment. By using our Site or Game, you agree to this Policy. If you do not agree, you must discontinue use immediately.

1.3 Notice at Collection for California Residents. If you are a California resident, this Policy includes a notice at or before the point of collection of personal information to inform you of the categories of personal information we collect and the purposes for which we collect it. Additional details regarding your California privacy rights can be found in Section 7.1.

2. Data Collection and Categories of Personal Information

We collect personal information such as usernames, email addresses, IP addresses, wallet addresses, and payment information. We do not collect any health or biometric data. We may collect location data, but this is done in an anonymized manner so we cannot identify individual users’ precise locations. We allow users to sign in through third-party accounts such as Google, Twitter, and Apple. By using these sign-in methods, you may grant us access to certain information according to the privacy settings of the relevant third-party provider. We collect this information to operate, improve, and market our Site and Game. We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 18.

3. Data Usage and Purpose

We use the information collected to facilitate account creation, manage subscriptions, process in-game transactions, perform analytics, conduct marketing and advertising, and improve our services. We may, in the future, combine personal data with non-personal or analytics data to better understand our user base or enhance user experiences. By using our Site or Game, you consent to these uses of your information. We do not sell or rent personal information to third parties, and we will only share personal information with service providers or partners for legitimate business purposes, as described in this Policy.

4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and other tracking technologies to provide core functionalities, personalize user experiences, and analyze usage patterns. We may also use third-party analytics tools that place cookies on your device to collect information about how you interact with our Site or Game. Users cannot currently opt out of cookies through our platform; if you do not agree to such use, you should discontinue using our Site or Game. Depending on where you live, you may also be able to adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies, though doing so may affect your experience.

5. Third-Party Sharing and Service Providers

We share user data only as necessary to provide our services. This includes sharing personal information with payment processors, hosting providers, and other service providers under contract. These third parties are prohibited from using personal information for any purpose other than fulfilling their contractual obligations to us. We do not sell personal information to data brokers or other third parties, and we do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. If that changes in the future, we will update this Policy and, where required by law, provide you with the opportunity to opt out.

6. Data Storage, Security, and Retention

We store personal data in professional data centers and implement industry-accepted security measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. While no method of data transmission or storage is entirely foolproof, we strive to maintain appropriate safeguards and continuously update our practices as needed. We retain personal information in perpetuity unless otherwise requested by the user or required by law to delete it. If you wish to request deletion, please contact us as described in Section 7.

7. User Rights and Choices

You may request access to or updates of your personal information by contacting us at [e-mail]. You can also request deletion or portability of your personal information, and we will respond in accordance with applicable law. We strive to comply with international privacy regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for EU residents and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), for California residents.

7.1 California Residents’ Rights. California residents have the right to know what personal information we collect, the right to delete personal information subject to certain exceptions, the right to correct inaccurate personal information, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, and the right to limit the use of sensitive personal information under certain circumstances. Although we do not sell personal information, we encourage California residents to contact us if they believe their information is being used in a way that falls under the CCPA/CPRA’s definitions of sale or sharing. California residents also have the right not to be discriminated against for exercising their privacy rights, and we will not deny services, charge different prices, or impose different service levels for doing so. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, please email us at [e-mail]. At this time, email is our primary method of receiving privacy-related requests, and we will verify and respond within the timelines required by law, usually within 45 days.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our Site and Game are intended for use by individuals who are at least 18 years of age. We prohibit use by minors, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you become aware that a minor has provided personal information or accessed our services, please notify us so we can remove any associated data. It is ultimately the user’s responsibility to ensure that minors do not gain access to our Site or Game.

9. International Users

We offer our services globally, and your information may be transferred to and stored in countries where we or our service providers operate. These countries may have data protection laws that differ from those in your home jurisdiction. If you reside in the EU or another jurisdiction with specific data transfer requirements, we rely on mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses to safeguard your personal information. By using the Site or Game, you consent to the transfer of your information in accordance with this Policy.

10. Policy Updates and Contact Information

We reserve the right to update this Policy at any time by posting the revised version on our Site. Your continued use of the Site or Game following any posted update indicates your acceptance of the changes. If you have questions, concerns, or complaints regarding this Policy or our data practices, please contact us at [e-mail]. We will endeavor to investigate and resolve any complaints or disputes regarding the use or disclosure of personal information in accordance with this Policy.

11. Severability

If any provision of this Policy is found to be invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, that provision will be deemed severed from this Policy, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.

12. Disputes

This Policy shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising out of or related to this Policy or your use of our Site or Game shall be resolved by binding arbitration in Florida, in accordance with the rules of a recognized arbitration authority. By using our Site or Game, you agree to submit to this arbitration procedure and waive any right you may otherwise have to a trial by jury. If you do not agree to this dispute resolution procedure, you should discontinue use of our Site and Game immediately.
