Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 03/30/2026

Welcome to Moron Mayhem, the online multiplayer game (the "Game") operated by Serious Mayhem LLC ("we," "our," "us"), a company based in the United States. We take your privacy seriously – just as seriously as we take trash-talking in-game. This Privacy Policy lays out what we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and what rights you have. No legalese, no BS – just the facts.

This Game is operated from the United States and is primarily intended for users in the United States. By playing the Game or using our services, you acknowledge that your information will be processed in the United States. If you are located outside the United States, you use the Game at your own discretion. Regardless of where you are located, we aim to handle your data responsibly and to honor the privacy rights described in this policy.

By playing the Game or using our services, you agree to the practices outlined below. If any part makes you uncomfortable, we respect that – just maybe don't use the Game.

1. What We Collect (a.k.a. The Data Loot)

We collect different types of info depending on how you interact with the Game:

Personal Info You Provide

When you create an account, make in-game purchases, or interact with certain features of the Game, we may collect:

  • Username & email – Needed for account creation and login.
  • Payment data – We see transaction history (date, item, quantity, cost, and transaction ID), not your card info. Payments are processed through Stripe, our third-party payment processor. We never access or store your card payment information.
  • Messages to us – Support requests, feedback, bug reports, rage quits – we keep them to help improve the experience.

Usage Data

We collect:

  • Login times, gameplay progress, session durations, in-game actions and outcomes (such as combat results, inventory changes, and economy activity), and other gameplay statistics needed to operate and balance the Game.
  • Device details like IP address, browser, OS, device type, crash logs.

Cookies & Trackers

Yes, we use cookies. They help us understand how you use our Game and website and make it better (and faster). Full cookie details are in the Cookie Policy below.

2. Why We Collect It (Not Just for Fun)

We only collect data for clear, specific reasons. Here's what we use your info for, and why we think it's fair:

  • Running the Game: Account creation, login, game operation, and purchases require your data to work. No data, no game.
  • Processing payments: We need transaction records to fulfill purchases, issue receipts, and handle support requests.
  • Keeping the Game fair: We analyze gameplay data to balance the economy, detect cheating, and prevent fraud. This is in everyone's interest.
  • Improving the experience: Analytics help us understand how people play so we can make things better. We only do this where it makes sense and doesn't intrude.
  • Marketing (with your permission only): We send updates, promos, or community news only if you've opted in. You can opt out any time.
  • Legal compliance: We keep certain records because the law requires it (e.g., tax and accounting obligations).

We don't collect more than we need, and we don't use data for purposes that would surprise you. If we ever want to use your data for something new, we'll ask first.

3. How We Share Your Info (No, We're Not Snitches)

We do not sell your personal information. We do not "share" your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). However, we do share data when necessary:

  • With service providers (e.g., payment processors, cloud hosts, analytics platforms) who process data on our behalf under contractual obligations.
  • Legal stuff – If the law says jump, we ask how high. We'll disclose info if required by subpoenas, court orders, etc.
  • Business changes – If we merge, get bought, or sell assets (happens to the best of us), your info might transfer with us. We will notify you before your data is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

4. Your Rights (AKA Player Controls IRL)

We believe everyone deserves meaningful control over their personal data. Regardless of where you live, we commit to the following rights for all users:

  • Access: You can ask us what personal data we hold about you and receive a copy of it.
  • Correction: If your data is inaccurate or incomplete, you can ask us to fix it.
  • Deletion: You can ask us to delete your personal data, subject to any legal or operational requirements that require us to keep it.
  • Withdraw consent: Where we process your data based on your consent (e.g., marketing emails, non-essential cookies), you can withdraw that consent at any time without affecting prior processing.
  • Restrict or object: You can ask us to stop or limit processing your data in certain circumstances, such as where you dispute its accuracy or object to our use of it for marketing.
  • Data portability: You can request a copy of data you've provided to us in a structured, commonly used format.
  • No sale of your data: We do not sell your personal information or share it for targeted advertising purposes. If that ever changes, we'll give you a clear opt-out before it does.
  • No discrimination: We will never penalize you for exercising any of these rights.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days. For complex requests, we may need up to 45 additional days and will let you know. We got you.

5. Data Security

We use industry-standard safeguards (encryption, access controls, etc.). But no system is unhackable. You play online – so you get it. Keep your passwords tight, and don't share them.

Improve your security by navigating to your account settings and following the tips to better secure your account.

To report a security issue, email us at [email protected].

Data Breach Notification

If we ever experience a data breach that poses a meaningful risk to you, we commit to notifying affected users without undue delay and reporting to relevant authorities as required by applicable law. We will tell you what happened, what data was involved, and what we're doing about it.

6. Children's Privacy (No Tiny Mayhem Please)

The Game is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 13, we will take steps to promptly delete that information in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 13 has provided personal information to us, please contact us at [email protected] and we will delete the data promptly.

Users under 18 should have parental awareness that they are playing. If a parent or guardian believes their child's data has been collected without appropriate consent, we'll make it right promptly.

7. International Transfers

Our servers and service providers are based in the United States. If you access the Game from outside the US, your data will be transferred to and processed in the US. We take reasonable steps to ensure that any third-party providers we use handle your data responsibly and in accordance with this policy.

8. AI Usage

We do not use player data or player feedback to train artificial intelligence or machine learning models. We may use AI-based analysis of aggregate, anonymized game statistics to help tune game settings and the in-game economy. No personally identifiable information is used in this process.

9. Automated Decision-Making

Our Game may use automated systems for anti-cheat detection, fraud prevention, and game economy balancing. These systems analyze gameplay patterns and do not use personal data to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects on you.

If you believe you have been affected by an automated decision (such as an automated account suspension), you have the right to request human review by contacting us at [email protected].

10. Data Retention

We retain different types of data for different periods:

  • Payment Records: We retain payment details (date, item, quantity, cost, method of payment, and transaction ID) necessary for tax and accounting requirements for between 3 and 7 years. We use Stripe as our third-party payment processor and we never access or otherwise store card payment information.
  • Game Data: Player data required for continued game operation and continuity for active players is retained for the lifetime of the account. If an account has been inactive for more than 3 years with no login, we may anonymize or delete associated personal data unless retention is required by law.
  • Account Deletion: Upon account deletion, personally identifiable data that is not required for game operation or legal compliance will be removed within 30 days. Automated backups may continue to retain user data temporarily. Upon restoration of any backup, deleted user data is immediately scrubbed.
  • Support Communications: Records of support requests and correspondence are retained for up to 3 years after the last interaction to assist with follow-up inquiries and dispute resolution.

11. Policy Updates (No Surprise Patches)

We'll post updates here and change the "Effective Date" above. If the changes are big, we'll notify you (probably with a popup or email).
