Privacy at a glance
Our aim is to use only the data necessary to operate the game, provide VR/MR interaction, keep this website secure and respond to requests. We collect and process the Meta Horizon User ID (USER_ID) received through the Meta Horizon Platform SDK for user identification in the Game's Meta platform integration. We explain the collection, purpose, handling and deletion procedure below. The Website supplied with this policy has no account form, advertising pixels, analytics scripts or non-essential cookies. Meta also handles platform data under its own privacy terms.
01Who we are
Violet Siege: Tower Defence VR (the “Game”) and the website at wizardmedya.com/violetsiege/ (the “Website”) are published by Wizard Medya, based in İzmir, Türkiye (“we,” “us,” or “our”). This policy explains our role as the developer/publisher for data we decide how and why to process. Other providers, including Meta, have separate responsibilities for their own services.
For any privacy inquiry or request concerning data associated with the Game or Website, contact enis@wizardmedya.com.
02Scope of this policy
This policy applies to the Game, gameplay functions including virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR), and the Website. It covers information we receive or process directly as well as limited data processed through service providers on our behalf, if applicable.
Meta Horizon accounts, headset operating systems, store purchases, platform-level telemetry and platform-managed permissions are also governed by Meta's own policies. We do not control all information processed independently by Meta, your headset provider, network operator or hosting provider.
03Information and data categories
The Game collects (receives) and processes Meta Horizon User ID (USER_ID) from the Meta Horizon Platform SDK when accessing its user-identity feature. The table also identifies other data collected or processed through game functions, communications and the Website. Some other categories depend on device permissions, enabled functionality and platform settings.
| Data category | Collection and purpose | Where it is handled |
|---|---|---|
| Meta Horizon User ID (USER_ID) A unique account identifier supplied by Meta for the signed-in Meta Horizon user | We collect (receive) and process this identifier through the Meta Horizon Platform SDK to identify the current Meta Horizon user in connection with the Game's Meta platform integration and account-associated platform requests. We do not collect the Meta account password or use USER_ID for targeted advertising. | Received by the Game from Meta through its Platform SDK. It is processed in the Game's platform integration; Meta may also process this identifier as the platform provider. Developer-controlled copies, if present in support records or logs, are covered by the retention and deletion provisions below. |
| VR interaction data Headset pose, controller position, button actions and gameplay interaction events | Calculate aiming, tower placement, weapon firing, menus and player interaction. | Processed during play on your device / by the platform's runtime. |
| MR spatial data Scene alignment, boundary/room positioning and passthrough-based presentation, where enabled | Place and display the game board in your physical space and support safe play-area alignment. | Provided through headset/platform APIs; processing depends on permissions and device capabilities. |
| Gameplay state Levels, scores, settings, sound options and local progress, when saved | Remember your chosen settings and maintain game progress. | May be stored locally on the device; platform cloud-backup settings may separately apply. |
| Technical / platform information Game version, device compatibility, crash or performance information, where provided by the platform | Troubleshoot bugs, maintain stability, identify technical issues and support the Game. | May be handled by the platform or shared through developer diagnostic tools, subject to the services enabled. |
| Website technical logs IP address, request time, requested pages, browser or device type, error and security logs | Deliver the Website, troubleshoot errors and protect against misuse. | May be processed by web-hosting infrastructure. |
| Messages you send us Email address, message content and relevant support details you choose to provide | Answer questions, investigate issues and process data access/deletion requests. | Handled by our communications services and authorised personnel. |
How we use and handle the USER_ID
We use the USER_ID only as needed for the Game's Meta Horizon identity/platform integration and related technical support or investigation of a request about that integration. We do not use USER_ID to build advertising profiles or sell it to advertisers. This notice covers our collection and processing of the identifier even when no separate developer account is created or no copy is sent to a standalone Wizard Medya database. Any developer-controlled copy found in our logs, support correspondence or other records is subject to the deletion procedure in Section 11.
Questions about this identifier or a request to delete any related data can be sent directly to enis@wizardmedya.com. We can remove information in systems under our control but cannot directly delete Meta-managed account records.
We do not ask visitors to register a Website account or submit payment details on this Website. If a future Game update introduces optional online accounts, leaderboards, multiplayer, advertising, cloud sync or in-app purchases requiring additional data processing, we will update the relevant disclosures before or when those features become available.
04VR, MR, cameras and spatial sensors
The Game uses immersive input and rendering capabilities offered by supported headsets. VR gameplay may involve device and controller tracking; MR gameplay may use passthrough and spatial alignment so a virtual defence board can appear in your real environment.
Raw camera imagery, microphone audio, room maps, hand/body tracking, eye tracking or inferred biometric characteristics require particular care. They are not all necessarily used by this Game. Use of any such capability depends on the actual build, user permissions, and the Meta Horizon OS APIs involved. Platform-provided information may be processed transiently on the headset even when it is not transmitted to the developer.
We do not use data from your physical surroundings for targeted advertising through these Website pages.
05Purposes and legal grounds
Where data-protection law requires a legal basis, we rely on the grounds applicable to the specific activity:
- Meta Horizon USER_ID collection and processing: identifying the current Meta Horizon user within the Game's platform integration and handling account-associated platform operations (providing requested game/platform features, where applicable).
- Providing the Game and requested services: necessary to deliver the gameplay experience and respond to requests (performance of contract, where applicable).
- Website security, stability and troubleshooting: preventing abuse, maintaining system functionality and diagnosing technical problems (legitimate interests, subject to the required balancing of rights).
- Responding to privacy requests and legal obligations: handling statutory rights, records and compliance (legal obligation, where applicable).
- Optional features requiring permission: using consent or another lawful basis when required by local law and the nature of the feature.
Providing email information for an inquiry is voluntary, but without contact details we may be unable to reply. We do not use personal data collected via the Website for automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects.
06Platform services and third parties
Meta Horizon / Meta Quest: The Game is designed for the Meta Quest ecosystem. We collect the Meta Horizon USER_ID from the Meta Horizon Platform SDK and process it for the identity-related Game platform functions explained in Section 3. Meta independently provides this identifier and may process account information, purchases, entitlements, device identifiers, diagnostics, platform safety and other information under its own terms and privacy notice. Please see Meta's Privacy Policy and the privacy controls available on your headset.
Hosting and communication providers: The Website's hosting provider may process technical request logs, and email infrastructure handles messages you send. Such providers may act on our instructions or have independent legal responsibilities depending on the service.
If additional Game SDKs, advertising, analytics or external services are enabled in a released build, those services must be identified in this policy and related consent/permission notices before use. We do not operate advertising pixels or third-party marketing trackers in the Website pages supplied with this policy.
08Data retention
We retain data only for as long as reasonably required for the purpose for which it is handled, subject to applicable legal duties and our service-provider configurations. The criteria depend on the category:
- Meta Horizon USER_ID: received and used for the platform identity operation for as long as the relevant function requires it. Any copy under our control, including in technical logs or support records, is kept only while reasonably necessary for its stated purpose or a legal obligation; we delete applicable copies when they are no longer necessary or after a valid deletion request, subject to legal exceptions. Meta's separate retention rules apply to platform-managed records.
- Temporary gameplay and sensor input: generally processed during the active session, except where a platform independently retains information under its own policies.
- Locally saved settings or progress: retained on the headset until changed, deleted or otherwise removed by the user, application or platform; cloud backups may have separate retention.
- Website security/access logs: retained according to the configured hosting log retention schedule, as needed for operational security and troubleshooting.
- Email correspondence and privacy requests: retained for the period needed to handle the request, maintain any necessary record and meet legal requirements, then deleted or minimised.
- Platform services: any independent retention by Meta or other providers is governed by their policies.
You may ask us about applicable retention periods for data we actually hold using the address below.
09International data processing
Wizard Medya is based in Türkiye. Depending on where you live and which platform, hosting or communication providers are involved, relevant data may be processed or accessed from other countries. Where required by applicable law, we use an appropriate lawful transfer mechanism and safeguards, which may include contractual protections and other legally recognised measures. You can ask for further information about relevant arrangements by contacting us.
10Your privacy rights
Depending on your location and the laws that apply, including the GDPR, UK GDPR, Brazil's LGPD, California privacy laws and other regional frameworks, you may have rights to:
- Know whether and how personal data about you is processed.
- Request access to, and a copy of, personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Request deletion or restriction of personal data in qualifying circumstances.
- Object to certain processing and request portability where applicable.
- Withdraw consent at any time for activities based on consent, without affecting prior lawful processing.
- Opt out of sale, sharing or targeted advertising, or limit certain uses of sensitive information, if relevant processing and laws apply.
- Complain to your local data-protection authority or seek other remedies available under local law.
We do not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights. We may need to verify a request proportionately before acting to avoid disclosing data to an unauthorised person. Rights are not absolute and lawful exemptions may apply.
11How to request data deletion
You can request deletion of data we collect and process, including any Meta Horizon USER_ID or information associated with it that is held in systems under our control. Email enis@wizardmedya.com and use the subject Violet Siege – Meta USER_ID Deletion Request. State that the request concerns Violet Siege: Tower Defence VR and specify whether you request deletion of USER_ID-related records, support correspondence, or other information. You may include your Meta Horizon USER_ID if you know it, but it is not required for an initial request. Do not send your Meta password, payment-card information or unnecessary sensitive details.
After receiving a request, we may ask for limited information necessary to verify that the requester is entitled to act on the relevant records. We will search the developer-controlled records relevant to the request, delete applicable USER_ID-related information and linked personal data that we hold when required, and instruct service providers acting on our behalf to delete applicable copies where relevant. We will acknowledge the result or explain why a record cannot be deleted, and respond within the time required by applicable law. If no USER_ID-related data is retained in our systems, we will explain that as part of our response.
Limits of developer-side deletion: We cannot directly remove Meta Horizon account information or other records independently controlled by Meta. For those records, users should use Meta's privacy tools or contact Meta. This does not limit the right to request deletion of any copy that we control.
To manage locally stored game information, use the save-data management options offered by your headset and, where appropriate, uninstall the Game. Removing the Game may not automatically remove independent cloud-backup or platform data.
12Children and younger players
The Game and related services must be used in accordance with Meta Horizon's age, parental supervision and account requirements, as well as applicable local laws. We do not knowingly solicit personal information from children through this Website. If you are a parent or guardian and believe a child has supplied personal data directly to us without the necessary permission, please contact us so we can review the situation and take appropriate steps.
13Security and minimisation
We aim to minimise the data handled, restrict access according to legitimate operational needs and use appropriate organisational and technical protections. The Website is intended to be accessed using HTTPS. However, no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We review relevant incidents and take steps required by applicable law and platform rules.
14Updates to this policy
We may update this policy if the Game's functionality, permissions, services, data practices or applicable law changes. The effective date at the top indicates when this version took effect. Material changes will be communicated through a suitable channel when required by law. Earlier policy versions will be retained where platform rules or applicable law require it.
