1. Who We Are
Heimdall Bot is an independent community information and support service for Empires & Puzzles players. It is operated by Iman Business Solutions Pty Ltd in Australia. In this policy, “Heimdall Bot”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to the Heimdall Bot service and its operator.
Heimdall Bot is not an official Small Giant Games, Zynga, LINE or Meta service. Those businesses and platforms have their own privacy practices.
2. Scope of This Policy
This policy applies to the heimdallbot.com website, the Heimdall Bot automated service, related administration tools and supported rooms, groups or channels where Heimdall Bot is available.
When you use a third-party messaging, social or payment platform, that provider may separately collect and process information under its own privacy policy, terms and account settings.
3. Information We May Handle
The information available to us depends on how you use Heimdall Bot and the platform involved. It may include:
- Platform account information: a platform user identifier, display name, profile image or other basic profile information supplied by the platform.
- Room and group information: room, group or channel identifiers, names and access details required to confirm whether a community is approved to use the bot.
- Bot interactions: commands, requests, messages or content you intentionally send to Heimdall Bot, together with the bot’s responses.
- Access and moderation records: approval status, warnings, restrictions, bans, administrator notes and related records required to protect the service and supported communities.
- Support communications: information you provide when contacting an administrator, requesting help or exercising a privacy right.
- Technical information: date and time, IP address, browser or device information, server logs, error records and security events generated when the website or service is used.
- Payment administration: where paid access is offered, payment status, billing period and a transaction reference. Full payment-card details are normally handled by the payment provider rather than Heimdall Bot.
Please do not send passwords, payment-card details, government identifiers, health information or other sensitive information through bot commands or ordinary support messages.
4. How Information Is Collected
Information may be collected directly from you, automatically from your interaction with the website or bot, from the messaging platform through which the bot operates, or from an authorised Heimdall administrator managing access and community safety.
We aim to collect only the information reasonably needed to operate, secure, administer and improve the service.
5. How We Use Information
We may use information to:
- receive commands and provide requested bot responses;
- confirm approved user, room, group or channel access;
- operate community administration, warning, restriction and ban controls;
- provide technical support and respond to enquiries;
- maintain security, investigate misuse and prevent unauthorised access;
- diagnose errors, maintain logs and improve reliability;
- administer an applicable paid-access arrangement; and
- comply with legal obligations and protect our lawful rights.
We do not sell personal information to advertisers or data brokers.
7. Website Logs and Cookies
The basic heimdallbot.com pages do not require you to create an account. Our hosting provider may still create standard technical logs, including IP address, request time, browser information and requested page, for security, diagnostics and reliable delivery.
If cookies, analytics or additional interactive website features are introduced later, this policy will be updated to explain them.
8. Retention and Security
We retain information only for as long as reasonably required for the purposes described in this policy. Routine technical logs may be kept for a limited period. Access-control, warning and ban records may be retained for longer where needed to enforce restrictions, protect communities or prevent repeated misuse.
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to the nature of the service. No internet transmission or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
9. Your Choices and Rights
You may ask us to confirm whether we hold information about you and request access, correction or deletion. We may need enough information to verify your identity and locate the relevant record.
In some circumstances, limited information may need to be retained where required by law or where reasonably necessary for security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution or enforcement of a valid restriction.
You can stop direct bot interactions by no longer messaging the bot. A room or group administrator can remove the bot from a community, subject to the rules and controls of the relevant platform.
10. How to Request Data Deletion
To request deletion of information associated with your Heimdall Bot use:
- Email privacy@heimdallbot.com with the subject line Heimdall Bot Data Deletion Request.
- State the messaging platform you used and provide your platform display name and, where available, your user, room or group identifier.
- Describe the information or interaction you want us to locate.
- Do not send your password or other sensitive account credentials.
We may ask for additional information to verify the request. We will process a valid request within a reasonable period and will confirm completion or explain why particular information must be retained.
11. Children
Heimdall Bot is a general community game-support service and is not designed to knowingly collect personal information from young children. A parent or guardian who believes a child has provided personal information may contact us to request review or deletion.
12. International Processing
Messaging, hosting, security or other service providers may process information in Australia or other countries. Privacy protections may differ between countries. We take reasonable steps to use reputable providers and limit shared information to what is required for the relevant service.
13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the service, its technology or legal obligations change. The current version will be published on this page with a revised “Last updated” date.
