1. Information We Process

1.1 Epic Games Account Information

SimppleGames uses Epic Online Services (EOS) to provide online and multiplayer features. During this process, the game may request or use Epic Games account permissions solely for service authentication and operation.

1.2 Gameplay Data and Device Settings

The following gameplay-related data is collected and stored in association with your Epic Games Product User ID (PUID):

• Player level, experience points, in-game currency, and items
• Customized character appearance and cosmetic settings
• Gameplay records (wins/losses, kill/death statistics, achievements)
• Game settings, progress, and save states
• System language information (Culture/Locale): Used only to display in-game text in your preferred language. This does not include precise location or address data.
• Anti-cheat and security logs: Game logs used to detect cheating, hacking, or abnormal gameplay behavior.

1.3 Third-Party Platform Integration (Steam / Stove)

Survival of Runt is launched through Steam or Stove and uses Epic Online Services (EOS) for account linking and authentication.

• Third-Party Platform Identifier (Steam ID / Stove ID): When you launch the game via Steam or Stove, the platform-provided identifier is temporarily used solely for authentication and account linking with EOS. This information is not stored on our servers and is immediately discarded after authentication is completed.

1.4 In-Game Screenshots (Bug Reports)

Screenshots are collected only when you voluntarily submit them through the in-game bug reporting feature. Screenshots are not collected automatically without your consent.

1.5 AI (LLM) Features and Data Handling (API & Local LLM)

Survival of Runt may provide AI-powered features utilizing Large Language Models (LLMs) for interactions with in-game NPCs and intelligent systems. Depending on user settings and environment, AI features operate via third-party AI provider APIs or on-device local LLMs. Data is processed under the following principles:

• API & Local Inference Processing: Text or voice inputs provided for AI interactions are used strictly for real-time response generation. When third-party APIs are utilized, data is securely transmitted for inference purposes only and is not retained for AI model training or commercial use.
• Zero Server Storage & Local Persistence: AI interaction data is never stored on SimppleGames servers and may only be saved on the user’s local device (PC) for gameplay history. Users may delete this local data at any time. SimppleGames does not access, collect, or retain such locally stored files.
