This document contists of two parts. By accepting this document, you acknowledge having understood the contents of both. The first part details the personal data that is collected by Ronimo Games for the purpose of making the game available to you, and how this data is used. The second part contains the full End-User License Agreement, which covers some additional topics.

AWESOMENAUTS DATA COLLECTION POLICY

In order for us to make the full Awesomenauts experience available to you, we have to collect and store some data relating to you as a player. This data is only used for the purposes outlined below.

All of the data we collect and process is essential for these purposes, and will never be shared with third parties or used for any other purpose than to provide you with the Awesomenauts service. We would not be able to provide you with a proper Awesomenauts-experience without collecting and processing this data.

The data we collect specifically includes:
  • Your SteamID and profile name
  • Your in-game match history and the content of those matches, the additional Awesomenauts content available to you (like skins, characters, announcers, and droppods), and any in-game transactions you may have made with Awesomepoints or Droppod parts.
  • Some basic information on the hardware you use to play Awesomenauts, and some information on the achievements you have unlocked.
  • Communications using in-game channels and any messages you submit to the developer using the in-game reporting tool.

We use this data to provide you with the following services, which we consider to be essential components of the Awesomenauts service:
  • A persistent player profile, where you can earn in-game currency and use that to unlock certain content, and where certain progression milestones are highlighted
  • Skill-based matchmaking against other players
  • Access your match history, watch games currently being played and games that were played in the past, and watch how you rank compared to other players in the leaderboards, and allow other players to do the same for matches in which you’ve played. You are able to toggle whether replays are saved for custom games, and whether you appear with your in-game name or anonymously in these replays in the in-game settings menu.
  • Customer service and technical support
  • To create aggregate data that allows us to perform maintenance, improve balance, and improve overall game-feel of Awesomenauts.

We will store data relating to your account for as long as the Awesomenauts service remains available, to allow you access to your account and progression at any time, or until you request us to remove your data. The data is stored using services provided by third parties. Aside from any legal requirements to access this data, no party shall be granted access or right to use any of the data collected in connection to this service.

If you have any concerns or questions about the data we collect, the way we do so, or how we use this data, please contact robin@ronimo-games.com

Displaying an in-game name, using the in-game chat, global chat, community features or any other feature included or associated with the game, or exhibiting behavior of any kind that is considered by Ronimo Games B.V., at its sole discretion, to be pornographic, racist, vulgar, obscene, defamatory, libelous, abusive, promoting of hatred, discriminating or displaying of prejudice based on religion, ethnic heritage, race, sexual orientation or age, may result in Ronimo Games B.V. restricting, removing, refusing, or limiting your access to certain or all features of Awesomenauts for definite or indefinite periods of time.

For the avoidance of doubt: if you use the Steam Family Library Sharing feature to share the game, and Ronimo Games B.V. finds that the behavior of the player you shared the game with warrants a (temporary) ban from either matchmaking, the Global Chat, or any other feature of the game, such measures will affect both you, the Shared User, and all other players you are sharing the game with through this feature.
