Privacy Policy

Effective: September 5, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Gang Takeover ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you access our browser game and related services.

Information We Collect

When you play Gang Takeover, we collect limited information necessary to run the game and maintain your progress:

  • Account Identifiers: We generate unique anonymous identifiers for your session and save data. If you use the account linking feature, we process the link code you provide.
  • Gameplay Data: We store your in-game progress, including reputation, cash, gold bars, crew roster, inventory, and territory control state.
  • Technical and Usage Data: The game and its service providers may process device, browser, IP address, approximate location, diagnostics, ad interactions, and usage information needed for security, delivery, measurement, and troubleshooting.
  • Local Storage and Cookies: We use browser storage and cookies to maintain sessions, save preferences and progress, prevent duplicate rewards, and support advertising and consent choices.

How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information strictly for operational purposes:

  • To save and restore your game progress across sessions.
  • To synchronize state between players in multiplayer environments via websockets.
  • To apply verified purchases and referral rewards to the correct account.
  • To secure the service, prevent fraud, diagnose failures, and improve game balance.
  • To show and measure ads when advertising is enabled and your consent choices permit it.

Third-Party Services

The game may integrate specific third-party services for essential functionality:

  • Google advertising services: On the website, Google may use cookies, device identifiers, IP addresses, and ad interaction data to deliver, limit, secure, and measure ads. Depending on your region and choices, ads may be personalized or non-personalized. Learn how Google uses information from sites and apps at Google's partner-sites policy.
  • Payments: Stripe processes website payments. We receive transaction identifiers and purchase status needed to grant virtual items, but we do not receive or store complete payment-card numbers.
  • Platform services: Steam, Apple, Google Play, RevenueCat, or mobile advertising providers may process information when you use a build that includes those services, under their own privacy policies.

Data Retention and Deletion

We retain gameplay and transaction records for as long as reasonably needed to operate accounts, restore purchases, prevent fraud, meet legal obligations, and resolve disputes. Local browser data remains until you clear it. Clearing browser data or uninstalling the app may cause permanent loss of an unlinked save.

Your Choices

  • You can accept, reject, or revisit advertising consent choices when the website displays a consent message.
  • You can control cookies and local storage through your browser, although blocking essential storage may prevent saves, account linking, purchases, or other features from working.
  • You can contact us to request access, correction, or deletion where applicable. We may need your private account link code to locate an otherwise anonymous account.

Children's Privacy

Gang Takeover is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate action.

Security, Changes, and Contact

We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect game data, but no online service can guarantee absolute security. We may update this policy as the game and its providers change. Material updates will be posted on this page with a new effective date. Questions or privacy requests can be sent through our Contact page.
