1. Introduction

I am JerkyCandy, the solo developer of FOURVIVE. I operate this website. This Privacy Policy explains what information I collect, how I use it, and what choices you have.

By using this website or playing FOURVIVE, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.

4. Third-Party Services

FOURVIVE uses third-party platform services that have their own privacy policies:

  • Valve (Steam) — account authentication, networking, cloud saves, achievements, and related Steam services.
  • Epic Games (Epic Online Services) — cross-platform authentication, player data storage (including Player Data Storage), lobbies, networking, and leaderboards.
  • STOVE — PC distribution and ownership verification where FOURVIVE is offered on STOVE.
  • Google (Google Play, Play services, AdMob, Play Billing) — Android distribution, ads, and in-app purchases where applicable.

I do not control how these providers process your data. Please review each provider's privacy policy for more information.

Links on this website to external services (such as Steam, STOVE, Google Play, or Discord) are governed by those services' own policies.

For account and data deletion steps, see account-delete.html.

5. Data Retention

I retain information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by applicable law.

Game save data and leaderboard records may be retained while your platform account remains active and while the game services are operational. You may request deletion of data I directly control by contacting me (see Section 9).

6. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your personal information.

To exercise these rights, email me at either address below. I will respond within a reasonable time.

Some data (such as platform account information or cloud saves) may also be managed through Steam, Epic, STOVE, or Google account settings.

Deletion request guidance: Account & Data Deletion.

7. Children's Privacy

FOURVIVE and this website are not directed at children under the age required by applicable law (generally under 14 in South Korea, or under 13 in certain other jurisdictions) without parental consent.

If you believe I have collected personal information from a child without appropriate consent, please contact me. I will take steps to delete it.

8. Security

I take reasonable measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage over the Internet is completely secure, and I cannot guarantee absolute security.
