Privacy and Cookies Policy

Joy Tech Global Limited (BVI) ServiceCo Ltd., a British Virgin Islands (“BVI”) business company (“Joy Tech”, “we”, “our” or “us”) and its affiliates understand that your privacy is important to you (a “User”). This Privacy and Cookies Policy (the “Policy”) explains how we collect, process, share and protect your information when you visit playonjoy.com, including all pages within it (the “Website”).

This Policy forms part of the Terms of Use. The BVI Data Protection Act (as revised) (“DPA”) governs the use of Personal Data by BVI entities, including Joy Tech, and this Policy has been prepared in accordance with the DPA. Capitalised terms bear the meanings given in the DPA unless the context requires otherwise. Joy Tech is the Data Controller for the purposes of the DPA.

1. Information we collect now

1.1 When you visit the Website

We collect information automatically as you use the Website, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs and how you use the Website.

1.2 When you contact us

If you email us, we collect your email address and anything you include in your message, such as a wallet address or claim reference.

1.3 When you play Genesis Run

If you connect a digital wallet to play Genesis Run, we process your public wallet address, the player name you enter and your score. Scores may be recorded on the Somnia blockchain, where they are publicly visible. We do not collect or store your private keys.

2. Information collected during the project

While the presale, waitlist and refund process were running, we collected information including:

• Email addresses and other details submitted through waitlist, newsletter and pre-order forms
• Public wallet addresses, transaction hashes and network information from Genesis Pass mints
• Information submitted with refund claims

We no longer collect new information through these features. We hold the information already collected as described in Section 8.

3. How we use information

We use personal information to:

• Respond to your enquiries
• Send updates, newsletters and marketing communications
• Handle refund claims submitted before the refund window closed on 17 August 2026
• Keep records of Genesis Pass purchases and refunds
• Run Genesis Run and its leaderboard
• Understand how the Website is used and keep it working
• Comply with legal obligations and resolve disputes

4. Cookies and tracking technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies on the Website. Cookies are small text files placed on your device. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling them may affect how the Website works.

• Essential cookies are needed for the Website to function.
• Analytical cookies help us understand how people use the Website. We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and Google Tag Manager (GTM) to collect usage data such as page views, session length and interactions. Google's privacy policy applies to data collected by these services.
• Marketing cookies may be set by tags managed through GTM.

5. Third-party services

• Blockchain networks. Genesis Pass mints took place on public blockchain networks, and Genesis Run scores are recorded on Somnia. We do not control these networks, and blockchain records are public and permanent.
• Wallet connections. Wallet connections use Reown (formerly WalletConnect), which may collect connection metadata under its own privacy policy.
• Payment services. Helio and Shopify processed some presale transactions. The Website no longer uses them for new payments, but they may hold records of past transactions under their own privacy policies.
• Links. The Website links to third-party services such as X, Telegram and Discord. This Policy does not cover their practices, and a link does not imply endorsement.

6. Data protection principles

We process personal data lawfully, fairly and transparently; collect it for specified and legitimate purposes; limit it to what is necessary; take reasonable steps to keep it accurate; keep it only as long as necessary; and keep it secure.

7. Your rights under the DPA

• Access. You may ask us to confirm whether we process your personal data and to give you access to it.
• Rectification and erasure. You may ask us to correct inaccurate personal data and, in certain circumstances, to erase it.
• Restriction and objection. You may ask us to restrict, or object to, our processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.
• Withdrawing consent. Where we rely on your consent, you may withdraw it at any time by contacting us.
• Complaints. You may lodge a complaint with the BVI Information Commissioner.

To exercise these rights, contact us at dev@playonjoy.com.

8. Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes above. We keep presale, purchase and refund records for as long as needed to deal with claims submitted before the refund deadline, meet legal and accounting obligations, and resolve disputes. Blockchain records are permanent and cannot be deleted by us or anyone else.

9. Data security

We take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect the personal data we hold against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage. No transmission over the internet is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
