PRIVACY POLICY
Effective date: October 4, 2026 · Last updated: October 11, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how 3000 Studios ("we") collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit thunderdome.store (this website) and when you play Thunderdome: AeroStrike ("the Game"), currently in development and closed beta.
Closed beta signup (this website)
If you sign up for the closed beta on this site, we collect the email address you enter and, optionally, a callsign/name. We use this only to administer the beta: sending your invite, test-flight instructions, and beta-related updates. Signup records are stored by our website infrastructure provider (Cloudflare). We do not sell signup emails, and we do not add them to unrelated marketing lists. To be removed from the beta list at any time, email us at mr.jwswain@gmail.com and we will delete your signup.
Cookies and advertising on this website
This website is supported by Google AdSense. Google and its partners use cookies — including the DoubleClick cookie — to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites, and to measure ad performance. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings, and learn more about how Google uses data from sites that use its services at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. Our hosting provider (Cloudflare) also processes basic request logs (such as IP address and browser type) to operate and secure the site.
Information the Game collects
- Account information. If you sign in, we collect your account identifier through Firebase Authentication (for example, your email address or Google account ID) to identify your player profile and sync your progress.
- Cloud saves. Your game progress, settings, aircraft unlocks, and player profile are stored in Cloud Firestore so your progress follows you across devices.
- Multiplayer data. When you play online matches, our matchmaking server processes your IP address, player callsign, and real-time gameplay telemetry (position, match events) to operate the match. Match telemetry is transient and not retained as a personal profile.
- Advertising in the Game. The Game displays ads via Google Mobile Ads. Google may collect your advertising ID and ad-interaction data to serve and measure ads. You can reset or opt out of personalized ads in your Android device settings.
- Purchases. In-app purchases are processed by Google Play Billing. We receive purchase confirmations (what was bought, when) but never see or store your payment card details — those stay with Google.
- Device integrity. We use Firebase App Check to verify that requests come from the genuine Game and protect against abuse. This involves device attestation signals.
How we use information
- Administer the closed beta and send beta invites and updates
- Operate player accounts, cloud saves, and online multiplayer
- Process purchases and deliver what you bought
- Serve and measure advertising
- Prevent cheating, fraud, and abuse
- Improve game stability and performance
Data sharing
We do not sell your personal information. Data is shared only with the service providers needed to run the site and the Game: Google (Firebase, Play Billing, Ads) and Cloudflare (website hosting and multiplayer matchmaking infrastructure).
Data retention
Beta signup emails are kept while the beta program runs and are deleted on request. Cloud saves are kept while your account is active. You may request deletion of your account data at any time (see Contact below), after which your cloud saves and profile are removed.
Children
The Game is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
Security
We use industry-standard safeguards, including encrypted connections, authenticated-only database access, and per-player data isolation. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we work to protect your information.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict use of your personal information. Contact us to exercise these rights.
Changes
If we change this policy, we will update the effective date above and, where appropriate, notify you in the Game or on our site.
