Emperus ("we", "our", or "us") operates the game available at emperus.io. This page explains how we handle your information.
We use direct email sign-in plus Google, Discord and Steam sign-in. When you log in, we receive the email address you provide or basic account information from the respective provider, which may include your name, email address, and username. Steam sign-in gives us only your Steam ID, never an email address.
While you play we also keep:
We do not sell your information. We share it only with the service providers described under Third-Party Services, and only as needed to run the game. We do not use your data for advertising or marketing purposes, and the game contains no advertising or analytics trackers.
Account information, saved game records, and optional History archives are stored securely with our hosting and cloud storage providers, and everything sent between your device and our servers is encrypted. We retain only what is necessary to operate your account and the features you choose to use. Operational backups may retain deleted data for a limited period before normal rotation.
You can delete your account and its data at any time, in the game or on the website: sign in at emperus.io, open your Profile, and choose to delete your account. Deletion completes after a short grace period, during which you can cancel it. You can also ask us to delete it by writing to emperor@emperus.io from the address on the account.
Deleting an account removes your sign-in identities and deletes or anonymizes your saved games, dynasties, public pages and friends list. Records of past purchases are kept only in anonymized form, no longer linked to you, for accounting and fraud prevention. Guest play that is never turned into an account is removed automatically after a period of inactivity.
Public Dynasty Pages are never created automatically. If you choose Publish, Emperus creates an unlisted snapshot containing your public handle and the dynasty names, ruler names, portraits, achievements, collapsed territory categories, and factual campaign summaries you selected. It does not publish your email address, account ID, game ID, raw profile, raw replay, or private opponent information.
Anyone who has the unguessable link can view that snapshot without an account. Pages are marked not to be indexed and are served without browser caching, but third-party recipients or link-preview services may retain a copy outside our control. You can update or revoke the Emperus page at any time. Revocation makes it unavailable at our origin immediately. Account deletion removes the owner snapshot from the live service, subject to limited backup retention.
We retain fixed-reason abuse reports and a one-way hash of the reporting network address as needed to prevent report abuse and operate our moderation process.
If you enter a contest we run, we use your public account name and scores to rank entries. If you are a potential winner, we ask for your legal name, state, and date of birth to confirm eligibility and deliver the prize, and we keep these records as long as the law requires. We publish winners by account name only.
We host the game and its data with cloud hosting and storage providers, and use email delivery infrastructure for sign-in codes. Google, Discord and Valve (Steam) provide optional sign-in. Payments are processed by Stripe on the website, which receives your account email address to send your receipt, and by Google Play in the Emperus Android app. Each provider's own privacy policy governs the information you give it.
