Information We Collect (Guest Activity vs Account Data)
When you enter The Prevost Foundry, we collect basic information to keep the assembly lines running smoothly. If you play as a guest, we primarily collect anonymous gameplay metrics and device identifiers to ensure our games function correctly on your screen. If you choose to register an account to save your Forged Credits and blueprint progress, we collect your provided email address, a chosen username, and secure authentication tokens. We do not collect financial information, as our platform is strictly free-to-play with no real-money transactions.
How We Use Your Data for Gameplay Analytics
The data we gather acts as the blueprints for improving your experience. We analyze gameplay metrics, such as which machines are most popular (e.g., Ironclad Reels vs. Furnace Roulette) and how often the Shift Whistle Mutator is engaged. This helps our engineers calibrate game performance, fix mechanical bugs, and balance the virtual economy of Forged Credits. Your data is used strictly to enhance the entertainment value of our social casino and is never sold to third-party data brokers.
Cookie Classifications (Essential & Performance)
Our digital foundry utilizes cookies—small text files stored on your device—to maintain your session. We use 'Essential Cookies' to remember your login state, secure your account, and track your Forged Credit balance across page reloads. We also utilize 'Performance Cookies' to monitor site speed and identify technical bottlenecks in our infrastructure. You can manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may cause certain gears in our website to temporarily halt or malfunction.
Third-Party Hosting and Service Providers
To keep our massive steam-powered virtual machines operational, Prevost Industries partners with trusted third-party service providers. These include secure cloud hosting facilities, content delivery networks (CDNs) for our heavy visual assets, and analytics partners. These partners only process your data under our strict instructions and are contractually bound to maintain confidentiality and security, ensuring your information remains as safe as a locked iron vault.
User Rights to Data Access and Deletion
You remain the master of your own blueprints. Under applicable data protection laws, you have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you. You may also request corrections to inaccurate data or ask us to completely erase your account and associated history from our servers. To exercise these rights, please contact our support team. We will process your request promptly, severing all ties and dismantling your account securely.
Data Retention Schedules
We only keep your data for as long as it takes to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy. Active account data is retained as long as you continue to clock into the Foundry. If an account remains inactive for an extended period (typically 24 months), we will automatically dismantle the account and anonymize the associated gameplay data for long-term statistical analysis. Essential legal and compliance records may be retained slightly longer as required by law.
