POTUS Seal

POTUS Privacy Policy

Effective date: 15 November 2025
Last updated: 25 November 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Stratara Ltd ("Stratara", "we", "us") collects, uses, discloses and protects information about you when you use the POTUS mobile game and related services.

By creating an account or playing POTUS, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy and understand how we use your information.

1. Who We Are and Scope of This Policy

POTUS is a presidential strategy game operated by Stratara Ltd, an Israeli company.

This Privacy Policy applies to:

Other Stratara products or websites may have their own privacy notices. Where we link to another privacy notice, that notice governs for that specific product or service.

This Privacy Policy should be read together with:

If anything in the Terms of Use conflicts with this Privacy Policy on how we handle personal data, this Privacy Policy prevails.

2. Key Principles at a Glance

We want our privacy approach to be understandable even if you do not read every detail. In summary:

Data minimisation

We collect only the information we need to run POTUS, improve it, and keep it secure.

No sale of personal data

We do not sell your personal data and we do not share it with advertisers for their own targeted advertising.

No social networking

POTUS has no human-to-human chat, public profiles, feeds or friend lists. All "conversations" are between you and AI advisors.

AI-driven by design

AI processing (including voice and text) is core to the game. There is no offline or "non-AI" mode.

Voice transparency

We clearly explain that voice calls with AI advisors are recorded and processed by ElevenLabs and other vendors for gameplay, quality, and safety. There is no hidden recording.

Sensitive political content treated with care

Because POTUS is a political simulation, you may voluntarily share political opinions or other sensitive information. We do not use this for real-world political advertising or decisions – only for the in-game narrative, scoring and safety.

First-party analytics only

We do not use advertising or marketing analytics SDKs (no Firebase Analytics, Mixpanel, Amplitude, ad SDKs, etc.). Usage telemetry stays within Stratara-controlled infrastructure.

Age limit

POTUS is intended for users aged 13 and over and is not directed at children under 13.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete and object to certain uses of your data. We also provide an in-app account deletion function.

3. Controller, Representatives and Contact Details

3.1 Data Controller

The data controller responsible for processing your personal data in connection with POTUS is:

Stratara Ltd
Company number: 517197182
Dan 14, Ness Ziona
7412110
Israel

3.2 EU and UK Representatives

Under Article 27 GDPR and UK GDPR, non-EU/UK-established controllers must appoint local representatives when offering goods or services to individuals in the European Economic Area ("EEA") or the United Kingdom ("UK").

Stratara will appoint such representatives once we begin active marketing or offering POTUS to users in those regions. When appointed, their contact details will be published in this section. Until then, you may contact us directly using the details in section 3.4 below.

3.3 Data Protection Officer

When required by law or as our operations grow, we will appoint a Data Protection Officer ("DPO"). Once appointed, their contact details will be provided here. Until then, please use the contact details in section 3.4 for any privacy-related questions.

3.4 How to Contact Us About Privacy

For any questions, requests or complaints about this Privacy Policy or our handling of your data, you can contact us at:

Email: [email protected]
Subject line suggestion: "POTUS – Privacy request"

We may ask you for additional information to verify your identity before we respond to certain requests.

4. Information We Collect

This section describes the categories of information we collect when you use POTUS. We may collect this information directly from you, from your device, from platform providers (such as Apple), or from our service providers.

We do not collect personal data that is not described in this Privacy Policy.

4.1 Account and Identity Data

When you create and use a POTUS account, we collect:

This data is necessary to create and maintain your account, allow you to log in, and provide your game state across sessions and devices.

4.2 Gameplay and Game Content Data

POTUS is a story-driven strategy game. When you play, we process:

Scenarios and choices

Advisor conversations (voice and text)

AI-generated game content

All of this is treated as part of your game history, linked to your account ID. It allows us to restore your progress, provide consistent storylines, and generate end-of-scenario summaries and scores.

Because the game is political, gameplay content can sometimes include political opinions or other sensitive topics that you choose to share. We address this specifically in our section on sensitive data and profiling (later in the policy), but at a high level we use such content only for game purposes and safety.

4.3 Voice and Audio Data

When you use voice calls with AI advisors, we process:

The audio itself is mainly processed by ElevenLabs, our voice provider. Stratara does not store raw audio long-term on its own systems; we retain the transcripts and AI outputs as part of your gameplay history. More detail is provided in the dedicated voice and AI section later in this policy.

4.4 Technical and Telemetry Data

To operate the game and understand how it performs, we collect certain technical data from your device and gameplay, such as:

Device and app information

Telemetry and usage data

This telemetry is stored in Supabase and other Stratara-controlled infrastructure. We do not send this gameplay telemetry to advertising networks or third-party marketing analytics tools.

4.5 Purchase and Game Economy Data

We use in-app purchases ("IAPs") and virtual resources such as "mandate" and call minutes to run the game's economy. For this, we process:

In-app purchase information

Virtual economy data

All real-money transactions are processed by Apple's App Store billing system. Stratara does not receive your card number or bank account details. We only receive information necessary to grant purchased items, maintain balances and comply with legal and accounting requirements.

4.6 Data We Explicitly Do Not Collect

To avoid doubt, POTUS does not:

If we ever introduce new features that require additional types of personal data, we will update this Privacy Policy and provide appropriate in-app notices before we start such processing.

5. How We Use Your Information and Legal Bases

We use the information we collect for several purposes. Under European data protection law, we must also have a "legal basis" for each use. Below we describe both the purpose and the corresponding legal basis.

5.1 Providing and Operating the Game and AI Features

Legal basis: performance of a contract; legitimate interests

We use your information to:

Without this processing, we cannot provide the POTUS game. When you create an account and accept the Terms of Use, a contract is formed between you and Stratara for the provision of the game, and this processing is necessary to fulfil that contract.

Because AI and server-side processing are essential to POTUS, there is no "offline" or AI-free mode: if you do not agree to this processing, you will not be able to play the game. Where local law requires it (for example, for voice recording or certain sensitive data), we also rely on your consent, as explained below.

5.2 Security, Fraud Prevention and Abuse

Legal basis: legitimate interests; legal obligations where applicable

We use account, gameplay, telemetry and purchase data to:

Our legitimate interest is to protect the integrity and security of our services and users. In some cases (for example, financial record-keeping or responding to law-enforcement requests) we may also be legally required to retain or disclose certain information.

5.3 Telemetry, Diagnostics and Product Improvement

Legal basis: legitimate interests

We analyse technical and gameplay telemetry to:

We do this in a privacy-respectful way, using internal tools and infrastructure. We do not forward this telemetry to third-party advertising networks and we do not build cross-app profiles.

Our legitimate interest is to improve POTUS over time, while respecting your privacy and expectations.

5.4 Customer Support and Communication

Legal basis: performance of a contract; legitimate interests; consent (where required)

We use your contact details and relevant account/game data to:

We do not send frequent marketing emails about unrelated products. If we ever send optional marketing communications, we will do so only with your consent and provide a clear way to opt out at any time.

5.5 Legal and Compliance Purposes

Legal basis: legal obligations; legitimate interests

We may need to use and retain some of your information to:

In these cases, we rely on our legal obligations or our legitimate interest in protecting our rights, our users and the public.

5.6 AI-Related Use and Model Training

Legal basis: performance of a contract; legitimate interests; consent (for sensitive content)

POTUS is heavily AI-assisted. We use your gameplay content, including transcripts and scenario context, to:

Our approach to AI training and reuse is:

Stratara's own use

Third-party AI providers

For EU/UK users, we typically rely on performance of contract (providing the AI-driven game) and legitimate interests (improving quality and safety). If you voluntarily share sensitive data (for example, political opinions) in your interactions, we treat this as shared with your explicit consent for the limited purpose of providing the game and maintaining safety. You can always avoid sharing such information by choosing not to include it in your gameplay content.

We do not:

5.7 No Unannounced New Purposes

We will not use your personal data for purposes that are materially different from those described in this Privacy Policy without:

If we introduce a new feature that requires a different type of processing (for example, a social feature or external research programme), we will provide clear, upfront information so you can make an informed choice.

6. Voice, Audio Calls and Transcription (ElevenLabs)

POTUS allows you to speak with AI "advisors" in real time. This feature is central to the experience, so we want to be very clear about how voice data is handled.

6.1 How Voice Calls Work

When you start a call in POTUS:

We do not access your microphone when:

You will see clear in-app indicators (such as a call screen and/or recording icon) when the microphone is in use.

6.2 What We Collect During Calls

During a POTUS call, we collect and process:

In practice, Stratara:

6.3 Storage and Retention of Audio

Our goal is to keep raw audio as ephemeral as possible.

Stratara systems

ElevenLabs systems

We do not control ElevenLabs' internal systems, but we bind them contractually and configure their service to minimise data retention and reuse wherever possible. Details of our sub-processors, including ElevenLabs, are published on our sub-processors page (see the "Sub-processors" section later in this policy).

6.4 How We Use Voice and Transcripts

We use voice data and transcripts to:

We do not:

6.5 Consent to Recording and Local Laws

When you first use POTUS, we present a consent screen explaining:

By:

you consent to the recording and processing of your voice for these purposes, including in jurisdictions where explicit consent is required for call recording.

POTUS does not initiate real phone calls or VoIP calls with other human users. All calls take place inside the app between you and AI advisors.

If you do not agree to voice recording and AI processing, you cannot create an account or use POTUS, because these features are essential to how the game works.

6.6 ElevenLabs as a Service Provider

ElevenLabs acts as our service provider / processor for voice processing:

Where possible, we:

However, we cannot fully control how a third-party AI provider designs its internal models. For this reason, we:

If you are uncomfortable with this, you can choose not to use POTUS and may delete your account at any time.

7. AI Vendors, Transcripts and Content Processing

POTUS relies on external AI infrastructure to generate advisor responses, world events, and scenario summaries. This section explains what is shared and with whom.

7.1 What We Send to AI Providers

From our own servers, we may send the following to AI providers:

Textual content

Game context

Technical metadata

We do not intentionally send your email address or other direct contact information to these AI services. Instead, we link their responses back to your account through internal identifiers that remain on Stratara systems.

7.2 Which AI and Infrastructure Vendors We Use

We may use a combination of:

Rather than hard-coding this list in the policy, we maintain a live list of sub-processors and vendors on our website. You can find the current list in the "Sub-processors" section referenced later in this policy.

7.3 How AI Providers Use Your Data

We use AI providers in a way that is intended to be service-like, not as open consumer chat products:

However:

We aim to choose providers whose practices are compatible with our own privacy commitments. Nevertheless, we cannot fully control how a third party designs its internal models, and some residual training or retention risk remains when using any external AI service.

7.4 Your Data, Our Models and Third-Party Training

Our approach is:

Stratara's own use

Third-party training

We do not provide your data to third parties for their own targeted advertising or political campaigning.

8. Telemetry and Analytics (First-Party Only)

We collect telemetry and analytics data to run POTUS effectively, but we keep this strictly first-party.

8.1 No Third-Party Marketing or Ad Analytics SDKs

POTUS:

Any analytics or telemetry we collect is for our own internal use to improve POTUS and understand performance, not for external advertising.

8.2 What Telemetry We Use

Typical telemetry includes:

We usually link this telemetry to your account ID, so we can:

Where possible, we also work with aggregated or anonymised reports for high-level product decisions.

9. Purchases, Mandate and Game Economy

The POTUS game economy uses virtual resources and in-app purchases. This section explains how we handle related data.

9.1 Apple as Payment Processor

On iOS:

We receive from Apple only the information that is necessary to:

For questions about how Apple handles your payment details, you should consult Apple's own privacy information.

9.2 What We Store About Purchases

We may store:

We combine this with your in-game economy data (mandate, minutes and entitlements) to:

9.3 Virtual Currency and No Real-Money Transfers

POTUS uses virtual resources such as "mandate" and call minutes:

From a privacy perspective, we treat your balances and transaction history as part of your account data. We do not share this information with third parties for their own marketing.

10. Sensitive Data and Political Content

POTUS is a political simulation game. During normal gameplay, you may choose to express:

10.1 We Do Not Intentionally Solicit Sensitive Data

We do not design the game to deliberately solicit personal political or other sensitive data about you as a real individual. However:

Because the game involves political scenarios and conversations, you may voluntarily say or type things that reveal or suggest your personal views or other sensitive details.

10.2 How We Treat Sensitive Content

If you choose to share sensitive information in the game:

We do not:

The only "profiling" we perform is within the game context:

These in-game consequences do not extend beyond POTUS.

If you prefer not to share such information, you can avoid including personal political details in your speech or text. You also have rights (described later in this policy) to request access, deletion or restriction of your data.

11. Children and Minimum Age

11.1 Minimum Age

If we learn that a child under 13 has created an account or provided personal data, we will:

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has used POTUS without your consent, please contact us at [email protected].

11.2 Teen Users (13–17)

Users aged 13–17 are still minors in many jurisdictions. For these users:

We encourage parents or guardians to monitor how teens use POTUS and to discuss appropriate use and in-game spending with them.

12. International Data Transfers and Hosting

Stratara is based in Israel and uses cloud infrastructure and service providers located in multiple countries. This means your personal data may be stored and processed outside your country of residence.

12.1 Where Your Data May Be Processed

Depending on your location and how you use POTUS, your data may be processed in:

We may change or expand our hosting regions over time as the service scales. We will always ensure that any such locations offer an adequate level of protection for your data.

12.2 Protection for EEA/UK Users

If you are in the EEA or UK:

We also:

12.3 Changes to Hosting Locations

As we grow, we may:

We will not reduce the level of protection for your personal data as a result of these changes. If any change materially affects your privacy rights, we will:

13. Data Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as we reasonably need it for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, and to comply with our legal obligations. When we no longer need data in identifiable form, we either delete it or anonymise it so it can no longer be linked to you.

13.1 General Principles

When deciding how long to keep data, we consider:

Where specific retention periods are mentioned below, they may be extended if required by law or by an ongoing dispute or investigation.

13.2 Audio Recordings (Voice Calls)

ElevenLabs audio

Stratara audio

13.3 Transcripts, AI Outputs and Gameplay Content

Transcripts and AI-generated content (such as advisor messages, world events, news articles, summaries and scores) are treated as part of your game history:

13.4 Telemetry and Usage Data

Telemetry data (for example, calls made, scenarios started/finished, performance metrics) is used for diagnostics, balancing and abuse detection.

13.5 Purchase and Economy Data

Purchase and economy data (for example, store receipts, mandate/minutes balances and transaction history) have longer retention due to legal and financial requirements:

13.6 Technical Logs and AI Request Logs

Technical logs include:

We keep most of these for relatively short periods, typically 30–90 days, to:

Where a particular log is needed for a longer period (for example, in the context of a security incident or legal claim), we may retain it for as long as necessary.

13.7 Backups

We maintain encrypted backups of our systems:

14. Sharing of Information with Third Parties

We do not sell your personal data and we do not share it with third parties for their own advertising purposes. We do share data with certain categories of third parties where this is necessary to provide POTUS, comply with the law, or protect our rights.

14.1 Service Providers and Sub-Processors

We work with service providers who process data on our behalf ("sub-processors"). These include:

We require these providers by contract to:

A current list of our main sub-processors is provided at https://stratara.ai/legal/potus/subprocessors.

14.2 Platform and Payment Providers

We share certain data with platform and payment providers, primarily:

Apple (App Store) – for:

Apple may also process some information as a controller under its own privacy policy (for example, your Apple ID, device info, and payment details).

14.3 Legal and Regulatory Recipients

We may disclose information to third parties where we reasonably believe it is necessary to:

Where legally allowed, we will:

14.4 Business Transfers

If Stratara is involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring or asset sale involving the POTUS product:

Where required by law or if the change is significant, we will notify you and may offer options (for example, account deletion) before the transfer becomes effective.

14.5 Aggregated and Anonymised Data

We may share or publish aggregated, anonymised data that does not reasonably identify individuals, for example:

This type of data is not considered personal data once it has been anonymised, and may be used without further notice.

15. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data. We try to make these rights available in a consistent way, even where not strictly required by local law, but some details and legal bases can differ.

You can exercise your rights by:

We may need to verify your identity before fulfilling certain requests.

15.1 Rights for EEA and UK Users

If you are in the EEA or UK, you have the following rights under data protection law:

Right of access

You can request confirmation of whether we process your personal data, and receive a copy of that data, along with certain information about how we use it.

Right to rectification

You can ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data.

Right to erasure

You can ask us to delete your personal data in certain circumstances, for example where it is no longer needed for the original purpose and we have no other legal reason to keep it.

Right to restriction of processing

You can ask us to restrict the processing of your data in certain cases, for example while we are verifying its accuracy or considering an objection you raised.

Right to data portability

You can request a copy of certain personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, and ask us to transfer it to another controller where technically feasible.

Right to object

You can object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to our processing of your data where we rely on legitimate interests as the legal basis. We will then stop processing unless we have compelling legitimate grounds or need the data for legal reasons.

Right to withdraw consent

Where we process personal data based on your consent (for example, certain voice and sensitive data uses), you can withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect processing that has already taken place, but it may mean we can no longer provide some or all of the game features.

Right to lodge a complaint

You can lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority if you believe we have not complied with applicable data protection law. We would, however, appreciate the chance to address your concerns first.

Information on how to contact your supervisory authority is generally available on that authority's website.

15.2 Rights for US/California Users

If you are a California resident, you have certain rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act ("CCPA"), as amended by the CPRA, including:

Right to know

You can ask us to disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources, the business or commercial purposes for collecting it, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it.

Right to deletion

You can request that we delete personal information we have collected about you, subject to certain exceptions (for example, where we need it to complete a transaction, detect security incidents, or comply with legal obligations).

Right to correct

You can request that we correct inaccurate personal information we hold about you.

Right to non-discrimination

We will not discriminate against you for exercising your CCPA rights, for example by denying you access to POTUS or offering you a different level or quality of service, except where a difference is reasonably related to the value provided by your data (as allowed by law).

Right to opt out of sale or sharing

You have the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with third parties for cross-context behavioural advertising.

Consequently, we do not offer a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link, because we do not engage in these practices.

If you submit a request under CCPA, we may ask you to verify your identity (for example, by confirming account details). You may also designate an authorised agent to submit a request on your behalf, subject to verification.

15.3 Exercising Your Rights

You can exercise your rights by:

We will:

We may reject requests that are:

16. Account Deletion

You can delete your POTUS account at any time.

16.1 How to Delete Your Account

We provide an in-app Delete Account option in the game's settings (or an equivalent mechanism). When you trigger this:

If you are unable to access your account (for example, because you lost access to your email), you can contact us at [email protected] and we will provide instructions, subject to identity verification.

16.2 What Happens When You Delete Your Account

When your account is deleted:

We delete or irreversibly anonymise:

We may retain:

We will not use any retained data to provide further game functionality to you.

17.4 Data Breach Notification

If we become aware of a data breach affecting your personal data that is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will:

18. Sub-Processors and Changes to Vendors

We rely on a number of third-party vendors (sub-processors) to operate POTUS. We want this to be transparent so you know who may be processing your data.

18.1 Sub-Processor List

We maintain a current list of our key sub-processors at:

https://stratara.ai/legal/potus/subprocessors

This list includes, for each sub-processor:

18.2 Adding or Changing Sub-Processors

We may need to add, remove or change sub-processors as our infrastructure and product evolve. When we do:

Where a change represents a material increase in risk to your privacy (for example, adding a new category of vendor that processes large volumes of personal data), we will:
