Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 17, 2026
PGMS Inc. ("we", "us", "our") operates the TEQ3 game and websites at playteq.com
(the "Service"). This Privacy Policy describes what information we collect, how we use it,
and what choices you have.
Information we collect
Account information. When you create a TEQ3 account, we collect your username,
email address, and a password (stored hashed). You may optionally provide a display name.
Gameplay information. As part of normal play, we record the actions you take
in the game — country names, attacks, market trades, forum posts, chat messages,
alliance memberships, and similar in-game events — so that the game can function and
so that we can investigate rule violations.
Technical information. When you visit the Service, our servers automatically
receive your IP address, browser type, operating system, the pages you visit, and the time
of your visit. We use this information to keep the Service running, to detect abuse, and to
understand usage.
Cookies and similar technologies. We use cookies to keep you signed in,
remember your preferences, and measure traffic. See our
Cookie Policy for details.
How we use information
We use the information we collect to operate the Service, authenticate accounts, deliver
gameplay, enforce the game rules, communicate with you about your account, prevent fraud
and abuse, comply with applicable law, and improve TEQ3 over time.
Advertising
We display advertising on certain public pages of the Service using Google AdSense.
Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this
and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s
Ads Settings.

How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as follows:
- with service providers acting on our behalf (hosting on Microsoft Azure, email delivery, analytics, advertising as described above);
- when required by law, court order, or to protect rights, property, or safety;
- with your consent, including when you choose to post content publicly on forums or chat;
- in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, where the receiving party will be bound by this policy.
Data retention
We keep account and gameplay data for as long as your account is active, plus a reasonable
period afterwards to handle disputes, investigate abuse, and meet legal obligations.
You can request deletion of your account by contacting us at the address below.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal
information we hold about you, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to data
portability. To exercise these rights, contact us using the information in the
Contact section. Residents of the European
Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and certain other jurisdictions have additional rights
under local data protection law.
Children
The Service is not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect
personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with
personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we hold,
including transport encryption (HTTPS), password hashing, and access controls on production
systems. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International transfers
TEQ3 is operated from Canada and hosted on Microsoft Azure. By using the Service, you
understand that your information may be processed in Canada and in other countries where
Azure operates infrastructure.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated
by posting a notice on the Service or by emailing the address associated with your account.
