Jobless Privacy Policy

1. Scope and responsibility

Vortex Prime is the independent developer and publisher responsible for Jobless. This policy applies to Jobless development and release builds, Jobless online services, the official Jobless page, account connection features, support enquiries and information a player chooses to submit for troubleshooting.

Jobless is in development. Features may change, and this policy will be updated before materially different processing begins.

2. Information that may be processed

Epic Account Services and Epic Online Services

When a player uses Epic sign-in or online multiplayer, Epic and Jobless may process account and service identifiers such as an Epic Account ID, EOS Product User ID, display name, linked account display names, authentication status, country or language preference where granted, friends or blocked-player information needed for social features, and online presence. Access is limited to permissions enabled for Jobless and the features the player uses.

Multiplayer lobbies and sessions

Invite-based multiplayer may process lobby and session identifiers, membership, host and connection state, invitation status, presence, player display names, match or party metadata, and technical information needed to establish and maintain a session. Jobless does not use email addresses as multiplayer identity keys.

Optional Discord account connection

If a player chooses to connect Discord, Vortex Prime may process the player’s Discord user ID, display name, avatar or profile information made available by the granted scopes, granted scopes, connection status, access-token expiry and encrypted authorization credentials needed to keep the optional connection working. A short-lived one-time authentication transaction is also processed to ensure the correct Jobless player receives the result. Discord refresh credentials are retained on the secure backend and are not placed in the packaged game.

Optional Discord voice and social features

When used, Discord’s Social SDK may process voice-call membership, speaking state, input and output device selections, mute or deafen state, per-player volume choices, lobby information and voice audio required to provide the call. Vortex Prime does not record voice, store captured audio or log voice packets. Voice is transmitted and processed by Discord under Discord’s own terms and privacy policy.

Diagnostics, crashes and mod debugging

Jobless or Unreal Engine may create technical logs locally, including build version, operating system, hardware or device information, feature state, error messages, timestamps and file or mod identifiers. Crash reports or mod-debugging logs are processed by Vortex Prime only when automatic reporting is enabled in a future build with appropriate notice, or when a player chooses to send them for support. Players should review diagnostic files and remove unrelated personal information before submitting them.

Local settings and saved game data

Graphics, audio, controls, accessibility, Discord voice preferences, gameplay settings, save data and similar information may be stored locally on the player’s device. Local data is not sent to Vortex Prime merely because it exists. Platform cloud-save functionality, if introduced, will be described before use.

Website, cookies and network data

The public Jobless and privacy pages do not require login or cookies. Other Vortex Prime account areas may use an essential secure session cookie, and the website may use local or session storage for preferences, navigation and saved form state. Cloudflare, GitHub Pages and network providers may process IP address, request time, requested URL, user agent, security signals and related server logs to deliver and protect the website. Vortex Prime does not currently enable behavioural advertising or Google Analytics on these pages.

Support communications

If a person contacts Vortex Prime, we process their email address, message, attachments and any account or technical information they choose to provide so that we can respond. Do not send passwords, authentication tokens, payment-card data or unnecessary sensitive information.

3. Why information is processed

• to authenticate the correct player and provide requested Epic or Discord features;
• to create and maintain invitations, multiplayer lobbies, sessions and optional voice calls;
• to preserve security, prevent transaction replay, control abuse and troubleshoot failures;
• to remember local settings and maintain a consistent player experience;
• to respond to support, privacy and deletion requests;
• to comply with legal obligations and enforce applicable terms.

Depending on the context and applicable law, processing is based on providing a service the player requests, consent for optional account or voice features, Vortex Prime’s legitimate interest in secure and reliable operation, or a legal obligation. Optional Discord connection can be declined or disconnected without preventing EOS multiplayer.

4. Third-party service providers

Information is shared only as needed with providers involved in a feature or required by law. Relevant providers may include:

• Epic Games / Epic Online Services for account services, Product User IDs, friends, presence, invitations, lobbies and sessions;
• Discord for optional account authorization, Social SDK, presence, lobbies and voice;
• Cloudflare for DNS, website security, serverless backend operation and encrypted backend secrets or token storage;
• GitHub Pages for public static website delivery;
• Google / Firebase for separate Vortex Prime website account features when a person chooses to use those areas.

These providers process information under their own privacy notices and may process it in other countries. Vortex Prime does not sell Jobless player personal information.

5. Retention and deletion

Information is kept only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose described above, security, dispute resolution or legal obligations. One-time Discord authorization transactions expire after a short period and are removed through routine cleanup. Linked Discord credentials are retained while the player keeps the connection active and are deleted or revoked when the player disconnects, subject to limited backup or security-log retention.

EOS and Discord retain information according to their own policies. Local saves, settings and logs remain on the player’s device until the player or operating system removes them. Support messages may be retained while the request is active and for a reasonable period afterward to document the resolution.

6. Data security

Vortex Prime uses measures intended to protect information, including HTTPS, exact OAuth redirect matching, one-time state validation, short expiry periods, authenticated polling, rate limits, encrypted Cloudflare secret storage, encryption of retained Discord credentials and restricted credential exposure. No online system can guarantee absolute security.

7. Your choices and privacy requests

Players can avoid optional Discord processing by not connecting Discord, can leave voice at any time and can use the disconnect control to unlink Discord. Removing local saves and settings is controlled through the game, platform or device as available.

To request access, correction, deletion or information about Vortex Prime’s handling of Jobless data, email the privacy contact below. Include enough information to identify the relevant Jobless or linked account, but do not send passwords or tokens. Vortex Prime may need to verify the requester before acting and may retain information where required by law or necessary for security.

8. Children’s privacy

Jobless online services are not directed to children under 13, or below the minimum age required to consent to online services in their country. A parent or guardian who believes a child has provided personal information to Vortex Prime should contact us so the situation can be reviewed and appropriate deletion steps taken. Epic and Discord account age requirements also apply to their services.

9. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated as Jobless develops, services change or legal requirements evolve. The effective date at the top will be revised, and material changes will be communicated in an appropriate way before they take effect where required.
