Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

When you create an ActionSims account, we collect your username, email address, and password. Passwords are stored using secure, one-way hashing rather than in readable form.

We also collect and store information associated with your gameplay, including saved games, seasons, leagues, tournaments, team selections, game results, statistics, and gameplay preferences.

Our servers may automatically record certain technical information when you visit ActionSims, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, pages accessed, and the date and time of your visits. This information helps us maintain website security, diagnose technical problems, and improve performance.

We do not require your real name, physical address, telephone number, or payment information to create a free account.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to operate ActionSims, manage user accounts, authenticate logins, save gameplay progress, maintain website security, troubleshoot technical issues, and improve the game.

We may also use your email address to respond to support requests, provide important account notifications, and communicate significant changes to the service.

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we use your email address to send occasional game updates, announcements, and information about new features. Newsletters are managed and sent directly by ActionSims without a third-party newsletter service. Newsletter subscriptions are voluntary, and you may unsubscribe at any time.

We do not sell your personal information or use it to build advertising profiles.

3. Cookies and Tracking

ActionSims uses essential cookies to maintain login sessions, remember user preferences, and protect against unauthorized activity.

We do not use Google Analytics or third-party advertising or analytics cookies.

You may disable cookies through your browser settings, although doing so may prevent you from logging in or using certain features.

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.

We do not share your information with third-party advertisers, data brokers, or analytics companies.

Our hosting and infrastructure providers may process limited information as necessary to operate, maintain, and secure ActionSims.

We may disclose information when required by applicable law, in response to valid legal requests, or when reasonably necessary to protect the security of our website and users.

If ActionSims is transferred to another owner or operator, relevant account information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable privacy laws.

5. Data Storage and Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational precautions to protect your personal information and saved gameplay data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

However, no internet service or electronic storage system is completely secure.

Although we make reasonable efforts to protect your information, we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, technical failures, or data loss will never occur.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account information and saved gameplay data for as long as your account remains active or as reasonably necessary to operate ActionSims.

We may remove inactive accounts, outdated gameplay data, or information that is no longer required to operate the service.

Certain information may be retained when necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, or maintain website security.

7. Account Deletion

You may request deletion of your ActionSims account by contacting us on our Contact page.

Deleting your account may permanently remove your saved games, seasons, leagues, tournaments, statistics, and other associated gameplay information.

Some information may remain temporarily in system backups or be retained when required by applicable law.

Once gameplay data has been permanently deleted, it may not be recoverable.

8. Service Discontinuation and Data Loss

ActionSims is an independently operated game, and we cannot guarantee that the service will remain available indefinitely.

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or permanently discontinue ActionSims at any time.

If the service is discontinued, user accounts and associated gameplay data may be permanently deleted.

We may provide advance notice of a planned shutdown when reasonably practical, but we cannot guarantee that advance notice or data export will always be possible.

Users should not rely on ActionSims as a permanent archive of their gameplay history.

9. Children's Privacy

ActionSims is not intended for children under the age of 13.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that such information has been collected without the required parental consent, we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided personal information may contact us to request its removal.

10. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct, or delete it.

You may contact us to request information about the personal data associated with your account or to request its deletion.

We may need to verify your identity before processing certain requests. We will respond to privacy requests in accordance with applicable law.

11. Third-Party Links

ActionSims may contain links to external websites, including baseball history resources and other informational websites.

We are not responsible for the content, security, or privacy practices of websites that we do not operate. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any external websites you visit.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to ActionSims, our operating practices, or applicable legal requirements.

When changes are made, we will update the effective date displayed at the top of this page. If significant changes affect how we handle your personal information, we will provide additional notice when required by law.
