Cult Empire — Privacy Policy

// effective: 2026-07-16

Game: Cult Empire · Platform: Web (browser)
Publisher: PickBits Studio (Mark Pickering) · Contact: owner@pickbits.ai

Scope

This policy covers the Cult Empire game published by PickBits Studio and playable at idletycoon.pickbits.ai/cult-empire/. Account creation and account-level data are governed by the main PickBits privacy policy.

Playing without an account

No sign-in is required. Anonymous play stores progress in your browser's local storage only; nothing is transmitted to us.

Playing with a PickBits account

If you sign in (single sign-on via pickbits.ai, powered by the PickBits Arcade SDK), the game stores against your account:

• Cloud saves (game progress and settings)
• Achievements you unlock
• Leaderboard scores (displayed with your chosen display name)

This data lives in our database (Supabase, with row-level security) and, for large save files, object storage. It is used only to provide the features above.

What we do NOT do

• No sale or sharing of personal data with third parties
• No in-game advertising trackers
• No access to contacts, camera, microphone, or precise location

Retention & deletion

Game data is retained while your account is active. Email owner@pickbits.ai to delete your game data or your entire account; deletion removes cloud saves, achievements, and leaderboard entries.

Children

Our games are general-audience and not directed at children under 13. Account sign-up is handled by pickbits.ai and is not offered to children under 13.

Changes

If this game's data-handling behavior changes, we will update this policy and the effective date above.
