Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how VetTech Homefront LLC ("VetTech Homefront," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use Command Net (the "game") and the website at vettechhomefront.com (the "site"), including when you sign in with Discord. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the game or the site.

Who we are

VetTech Homefront LLC is a veteran owned company based in Bethel, Ohio. You can reach us any time at ron@vettechhomefront.com or (513) 278-7137.

Information we collect

Discord account information

When you choose to sign in with Discord, Discord shares the account information you authorize: your Discord user ID, username, global display name, and avatar. If you grant the email permission, we also receive the email address on your Discord account. We never receive or store your Discord password.

Gameplay information

When you play Command Net while signed in, we store your in game progress, callsign, rank, and saved games so they carry between sessions and devices.

Messages you send us

If you use a contact or bug report form, we collect what you provide, such as your name, email address, and your message, so we can respond.

AI chat messages

If you chat with Idun, your messages and IP address are sent through Netlify to an AI model running on the founder's home computer. No cloud AI service receives your chat messages. When the home machine is unavailable, Idun answers with pre-written lines, clearly labeled "recorded," and your message is not stored. Do not submit passwords, financial information, medical information, student records, or other confidential information.

Bug reports

If you use Idun's bug-report feature, the text you submit becomes an issue in a private tracker that only Ron can read. It is not published anywhere automatically. If a report leads to a fix, the fix is written up by hand on our what got fixed page in our own words — your report is not copied there. Please still leave out passwords, account details, and anything confidential: it is a bug tracker, not a secure channel, and we would rather never hold that information at all. Cloudflare Turnstile may process technical information to confirm that a report came from a person.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, our hosting and analytics tools record technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser and device type, the pages you view, and the page that referred you.

Cookies and analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how people use the site and the game. Google Analytics sets cookies and collects usage data, including IP address and pages viewed, and processes it on Google's systems. You can opt out across all sites using Google's browser add on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout, or by blocking cookies in your browser. Google further describes how it uses data from sites and apps that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. Our pages are served by Netlify, which may set cookies needed to deliver and secure the site.

The clue hunt on the game page keeps one small item in your browser's local storage: the callsign it makes up for you when you finish it, and the date you finished. That is what lets the page remember you solved it instead of resetting every visit. Your browser generates that callsign and your browser keeps it, and clearing your browsing data erases it. Having a callsign does not send us anything on its own. The one time it reaches us is if you decide to join the founding list: that form shows you your callsign in a field you can read and edit, and submits it with your signup so we know you found your way in. Clear that field before you submit and we never receive it.

How we use your information

• To run Command Net, identify you, and save your progress.
• To respond to your messages and bug reports.
• To keep the game and site secure and working properly.
• To understand and improve how the game and site are used.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for third party advertising.

Who we share information with

We share information only with the service providers that help us run the game and site, and only as needed for them to do that work:

• Discord, for account sign in, when you choose to use it.
• Netlify, for website hosting and form handling.
• Google, for Google Analytics usage measurement.
• GitHub, which hosts the private tracker your bug report is filed into.
• Cloudflare, for Turnstile bot detection and the secure connection to the home AI relay.

We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to protect our rights, our users, or the public. We do not sell or rent your information to anyone.

This policy covers how we handle your information. It does not change Discord's own Privacy Policy or Terms, which govern how Discord handles your information.

How long we keep it

We keep contact messages as long as needed to handle your request and for our records. Bug reports may remain in our private GitHub tracker. Messages sent through Idun's live voice may remain temporarily in the home relay queue while a response is processed, then expire under the relay's operating limits. Google, GitHub, Cloudflare, Discord, and Netlify may retain information under their own policies. We keep your Command Net account and progress while your account is active. You can ask us to delete information that VetTech controls at any time.

Your choices and rights

You can ask us to show you the information we hold about you, correct it, or delete it. You can disconnect Discord and ask us to delete your Command Net account, and you can opt out of analytics as described above. To make a request, email ron@vettechhomefront.com. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) or the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and we will honor those rights where they apply to you.

Children's privacy

Command Net and the site are not directed to children under 13, and Discord itself requires every user to be at least 13, and older in some countries. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We use reasonable measures to protect your information. No website or online service is perfectly secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the game and site change. We will post the new version on this page and update the date above. If you keep using the game or site after a change, that means you accept the updated policy.
