1. Introduction

Welcome to Gangsters Paradise ("we," "us," "our"). We operate a community-run Sandbox / s&box Dark Roleplay server and the associated website at troglodytegamingrp.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website and play on our server.

We are not affiliated with Facepunch Studios, Valve Corporation, or any official Sandbox / s&box product. "Sandbox" and "s&box" are properties of their respective owners.

2. Information We Collect

When you use our services, we may collect:

• Steam Account Data: Your SteamID64, public username, and avatar URL (obtained via Steam OpenID).
• In-Game Data: Playtime, in-game balance, rank, level, and action history (audit logs).
• Technical Data: IP address, browser type, and basic usage analytics for security and performance.
• Cookies: Session cookies (HTTP-only, secure) to keep you logged in.

3. How We Use Your Information

• To authenticate and identify you across the website and server.
• To display public leaderboards, player profiles, and online status.
• To enforce server rules and moderate gameplay.
• To improve the server experience and analyze usage trends.

4. Public Information

By participating in our server, your Steam username, avatar, in-game balance, playtime, level, and audit log entries are publicly visible on this website. If you do not want this information public, do not play on our server.

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services:

• Steam OpenID: For authentication. See Steam's Privacy Policy.
• DXRP.net API: For player and server data. See DXRP's terms.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Request access to data we hold about you.
• Request deletion of your account and associated data (note: in-game records may be retained for moderation history).
• Opt out of analytics where applicable.
• Lodge a complaint with a data protection authority if you believe your rights have been violated.

7. Data Retention

We retain account data for as long as your account is active. Audit logs and moderation records may be retained indefinitely for safety and rule enforcement.

8. Security

We use HTTPS, HTTP-only secure cookies, JWT-based session tokens, and standard security practices. However, no system is 100% secure — we cannot guarantee absolute security of your data.

9. Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with information, please contact us.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy. Material changes will be announced via the server's Discord or this website. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
