Your Privacy in the WideHorizon Ecosystem.
At WideHorizon, we believe that premium gaming should never come at the cost of personal digital security. As a Rome-based studio operating under strict Italian and European (GDPR) standards, our commitment to transparency is as fundamental as the architecture of our applications. This policy outlines how we protect your digital footprint while you're unwinding on a Tuscany commute or relaxing in your apartment.
Data Minimalism Charter
Our core assumption is that less is more. We do not collect PII (Personally Identifiable Information) unless it's strictly required for multiplayer synchronization or account safety.
The high-fidelity graphics of our apps require local device storage; however, game telemetry never leaves your device without explicit "Opt-In" consent inside the app settings.
Should Italian data privacy laws or major mobile OS engine updates (iOS/Android) significantly change, we will update these terms via an in-app persistent notification.
Policy Pro Tip
If you play our games in "Offline Mode," no telemetry data is transmitted to our servers until your next active internet session. Perfect for maintaining full privacy during flights or rural transit.
01. The Scope of Information Gathering
When we talk about data collection at WideHorizon, we distinguish between Technical Telemetry and Identifier Information. Most of your interactions with our applications are stored locally on your device. This includes your specific game progress, local high scores, and tailored UI preferences.
We may collect automated data such as your device model (e.g., assessing compatibility for iOS 15+ or Android 11+), operating system version, and approximate geographic location (Regional Italy or EU) to ensure you are connecting to the lowest latency servers for multiplayer modes. This is a trade-off we make: minor regional data helps us provide the immersive experience you expect.
02. How We Safeguard Your Digital Sanctuary
Security isn't just a feature; it's our foundation. Any data transmitted to widehorizon.space is encrypted via TLS 1.3 protocols. We prioritize data sovereignty, utilizing enterprise-grade Italian server hubs to keep data processing within the European Economic Area (EEA).
We do not utilize "Dark Patterns" or aggressive tracking. Our business model relies on the quality of our premium applications, not the sale of user datasets. We firmly believe that your playtime should remain your own, free from the prying eyes of third-party advertising brokers.
03. Your Rights as a Global Player
Regardless of where you are playing, we honor the following rights for all our users:
-
The Right to Access You may request a copy of any data we hold associated with your account ID.
-
The Right to Erasure A permanent "Delete My Data" request will purge your history from our sync servers within 72 hours.
-
The Right to Opt-Out You can disable all non-essential analytics directly in the "Privacy" tab of our apps.
Age Restriction Policy
Our applications are strictly designed for individuals aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect, process, or maintain data from minors. If we discover that a user under the legal age has provided personal data, we will immediately initiate deletion protocols and terminate the associated account for compliance.
No Warranty Disclaimer
While we strive for 100% uptime and data integrity, our services are provided "as is." Extensive server maintenance or unforeseen outages may occur during Italian peak holiday periods.
Cookie Usage
We use essential functional cookies on our domain to secure user sessions. See our Cookie Policy.
GDPR Ready
Fully compliant with EU Regulation 2016/679. Data protection by design and default settings.
Privacy in Practice: A Realistic Scenario
App Initialization
You launch WideHorizon for the first time while connected to public Wi-Fi at a Roman café. The app detects your approximate location to select the closest regional server.
Anonymous Telemetry
As you play, the app logs a crash event on a specific level. No personal account data is attached; only the technical execution trace is sent to our mobile architects for debugging.
Requesting Portability
Two months later, you decide to delete your account. You use our "Privacy Dashboard" in the settings, and our automated system purges every sync log across our Italian clusters.
Clarification & Support
Legal terminology can be dense. If you have any specific questions about how your data is handled within our gaming ecosystem, our dedicated Privacy Officer is available during standard Italian business hours.
Via Roma 123, 00100 Roma, Italy
We process data under three specific legal bases: Contractual necessity (to synchronize your progress across devices), Legitimate interest (for security auditing and crash troubleshooting), and Consent (for optional marketing communications or non-essential telemetry). Each basis is audited annually to ensure compliance with changing EU jurisprudence.
WideHorizon does not sell your data. We third-party processors only for critical technical functions: Cloud Hosting (AWS Europe), Analytics (Firebase under strictly anonymized configurations), and Customer Support ticketing. All vendors are subject to Data Processing Agreements (DPA) as required by Article 28 of the GDPR.
