Privacy Policy for Storm Development

1. Personal Information

We may collect certain personally identifiable information (PII) that is necessary for the provision of our services and for maintaining a secure and personalized experience. This information may include:

• Unique Discord Identifier (DCID): When you log into the Service via Discord or use the software, we collect your unique Discord Identifier (DCID) to link your account with your Discord profile. This enables us to provide a more integrated experience, such as managing access, notifications, and personalized interactions with our community.
• Hardware Identifiers (HWID): For the purpose of ensuring the integrity and security of the Service, we may collect your hardware identifiers (HWID). These identifiers are unique to your device and are used to identify specific devices rather than individual users. The HWID helps us detect unauthorized use or ensure the proper function of the software on your device, but it is not used to identify you as an individual.
• Gaming Profiles: We may store your SteamID64 as apart of identifying to who suspected cheat data belongs to.
• Suspected Cheat Data: We collect file names, paths and hashes linked to confirmed or suspected cheating software, plus details like the start times of specific operating system processes. This data is attached to gaming profiles and is not used to identify you in any other way.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

At Storm Development, we prioritize user privacy. Therefore, we do not store the following information directly:

• IP Addresses: While we may temporarily collect IP addresses for security and operational purposes, such as to monitor website traffic or prevent fraud, we do not store or link IP addresses to user accounts.
• Email Addresses: We ask for an email address at purchase to email the product to you. The data is stored by our payment processors; the Service does not store or link emails to user accounts.

3. Usage Data

We collect information about your interactions with our service, such as the times you access the Service and the pages or features you visit. Additionally, we may collect device-specific details, including the type of device you’re using (e.g., smartphone, tablet, desktop), the operating system, and browser type. This data helps us monitor the performance of the Service, identify and resolve issues, and optimize the user experience by understanding how different features are used. By analyzing this information, we can make informed improvements to functionality, troubleshoot problems more efficiently, and tailor the Service to better meet the needs of our users. This data is collected in a way that doesn’t personally identify you and is used solely for enhancing the quality of the Service.

1. Service Improvement

We use the data we collect to enhance and improve our Service in a way that benefits all users. This includes analyzing trends in how the Service is used, identifying potential areas for improvement, and fine-tuning our features and performance. The data helps us ensure that the platform operates smoothly, efficiently, and securely. For example, by tracking usage patterns and interactions, we can detect any technical issues or bugs that need to be addressed, optimize server performance, and make informed decisions about new features or updates. This information is used in aggregate, meaning we don’t rely on any personally identifiable details, ensuring that your privacy remains protected while allowing us to improve the Service for everyone.

2. Account Management and Support

We use the collected information to create and manage your account, verify your identity, and assist with any support inquiries. This helps us provide a smoother and more efficient experience when addressing your service-related questions or issues.

We use technical data to detect and prevent fraudulent activities, including cheating, to maintain a fair and secure environment for all users. This data is analyzed to identify suspicious behavior or patterns that may indicate attempts to exploit or bypass the Service’s security measures. It is stored securely and is only shared with authorized entities when necessary. These entities may include law enforcement agencies, government authorities, or other regulatory bodies in compliance with applicable laws and regulations. We take great care to ensure that any data shared with these authorized entities is handled responsibly and only to the extent required to investigate, prevent, or address potential violations of our policies or the law.
