2"We may also offer you the ability to choose to import your contacts or manually enter e-mail addresses so that you can locate your contacts and invite your contacts to join you in the Services. This information is typically collected through the use of third-party mobile device software development kits. If you choose to import your contacts or manually enter e-mail addresses, we will store those contacts for purposes of helping you and your contacts make connections through our Services."
Magic Tavern stores imported contact information and also receives contacts uploaded by other users, meaning your data may be collected without your direct consent via other users' address books.

7"We disclose your information to advertisers, ad exchanges and other ad technology companies that require the data to select and serve relevant advertisements to you and others, and assist us in our marketing efforts. We disclose your information to our parent company(ies), affiliates, or subsidiaries."
Personal information including identifiers, purchase history, network activity, geolocation, and inferences is shared with advertising partners, affiliates, service providers, and payment processors.
"We, or our third-party partners, may link your various devices so that content you see on one device can result in relevant advertising on another device. We do this by collecting information about each device you use when you are logged in to our Service. We may also work with third-parties who employ tracking technologies or the application of statistical modeling tools to determine if two or more devices are linked to a single user or household."
Magic Tavern and its partners actively link user activity across multiple devices using login data, statistical modeling, and shared account identifiers to build cross-device profiles for advertising.
"We also infer your approximate geographic location based on your IP address. We disclose Geolocation Data, such as city or county-level geolocation information, to service providers, affiliates, your specified recipients, government entities/law enforcement, and advertising partners shared for interest based advertising."
Location data is inferred from IP addresses and shared with advertising partners, affiliates, and other third parties for interest-based advertising and other purposes.
"Such information includes the following: Device make, model and operating system; Device properties related to screen size & orientation, audio volume and battery; Carrier; Operating system; Name and properties of mobile application through which the user interacts with the Services; Country, time zone and locale settings; Network connection type and speed; IP Address; Advertising ID (IDFA on iOS devices and GAID on Android devices)."
Magic Tavern collects detailed device properties including battery level, audio volume, screen orientation, carrier info, and network details — data that goes beyond what is needed for a mobile game.
"We retain your personal information for as long as needed to provide you Services, unless we are required by law to delete or if we accept your request to delete the information pursuant to applicable law. We will also retain and use your personal information as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. If we anonymize your personal information (so that it can no longer be associated with you), we can use this information indefinitely without further notice to you."
No specific deletion timeline is provided. Data is retained indefinitely for vague purposes like 'enforcing agreements,' and anonymized data can be used forever without notice.
"We may update this Notice to reflect changes to our data privacy practices. If we make any material changes, we will notify you by reasonable means (such as posting a notice on the Services) prior to the change becoming effective and will take additional steps as required by law, including obtaining your consent where required."
Magic Tavern can change the privacy policy at any time with only a posting on the website as notice. Consent is only obtained 'where required' by law, meaning most changes take effect without affirmative agreement.
"If you have an account with us and would like us to delete your information, you may send an e-mail to privacy@magictavern.com and place 'Delete My Account' in the subject line or request to delete your information inside the app you are using. Please note that your information, for example records pertaining to payments or customer service matters, may be retained for legal and accounting purposes. If you have sent or posted content on the Service, we may not be able to delete it."
Deletion requires emailing support, progress and virtual items are permanently lost, posted content may not be deleted, and payment/customer service records are retained even after deletion.
