Auto-Renewable Subscriptions
Brahman Studios outlines an auto-renewable subscription as one that allows a user to purchase dynamic content for a set period of time. Once that set period of time ends, the subscription renews again for the same amount of time. This continues until the user cancels the subscription. These subscription services allow users to choose their plan and the renewal frequency. After the user selects a subscription, Brahman Studios requests the user to approve it. When the subscription starts, it is recorded under the user’s ID. Respectively subscription displays the date of renewal and the term. After listing, cancellation is easy. All users need to do is open up the individual subscription under manage subscription and hit “cancel subscription”.
In case of any queries relating to the requesting a refund or Reporting a problem relating to auto-renewable subscriptions in the Android platform, he is being strictly advised to contact Brahman Studios within 48hours of the issue/query, delay to which the user may be refunded with only in-game virtual items, not the money/amount.

Our Website: Visits, Sign-in, Pre-launch Rewards and E-mails
Before AUM launches, our website (aumthegame.com) lets you sign in and complete tasks that earn in-game rewards. This section explains what we collect for this and why.
Counting visits
To learn which posters, cards, posts and creators bring people to AUM, our website counts visits and the steps people take on it (for example: opening the site from a QR code, watching the trailer, tapping a store button, tapping a social link, opening the rewards). For this, your browser keeps a random visitor number in its local storage. With each step we record that number, the label of the link you came from (for example “tri-fold” or a creator’s name), the type of device (Android, iPhone or computer) and the country your connection comes from. We do not store your IP address and we do not use cookies for this. If you do not sign in, these records are not linked to you. If you sign in, the steps taken in that browser are linked to your account, so we can see how you found us.
Signing in
You can sign in with Google or with Apple. Signing in creates or opens your AUM game account, the same one you will play with, so your rewards are waiting in the game at launch. When you sign in we receive from Google or Apple:
- An account identifier that links your sign-in to your AUM game account.
- Your e-mail address. If you choose Apple’s “Hide My Email”, we receive a private relay address from Apple instead of your real one.
- Your name, if Google or Apple shares it.
We never receive your Google or Apple password.
Reward tasks and how we check them
Each task is checked with the service it belongs to, and only when you ask us to check it:
- Discord: when you connect Discord, we receive your Discord user ID and ask Discord whether you are a member of our server.
- Instagram: when you tap Follow and come back to our website, we record that you completed this task. We do not receive any information from your Instagram account.
- Bringing friends: when a friend signs up on our website through your link, we record the link between your two accounts. We tell you that a friend joined, but not who.
We keep the results of these checks and the identifiers above with your game account, and use them only to count your tasks, prevent the same Discord, Google or Apple account from being counted for more than one player, and give you your rewards. We may check Discord membership again before rewards are handed out.
E-mails about your rewards
If you sign in on our website, we send you a few e-mails about your own rewards: a welcome with your friend link, one reminder a couple of days later if a task is left, a note when a friend joins through your link, one last reminder shortly before launch, and one on launch day to say your rewards are waiting in the game. These e-mails are only about your reward tasks; they are not advertising. Each one has a button that signs you back in to our website, and a one-click unsubscribe link; once you unsubscribe we stop sending them. We send these e-mails through an e-mail delivery provider acting on our behalf (Cloudflare).
News about AUM (only if you ask for it)
After you sign in you can tick a box to hear when new rewards unlock and when AUM launches. The box starts empty, and the rewards do not depend on it. If you tick it, we keep the words you agreed to and when, and we may send you news through an e-mail marketing provider acting on our behalf. You can untick the box on our website or use the unsubscribe link in any e-mail at any time, and we stop.
Keeping and deleting this information
We keep the information described in this section for as long as your AUM account exists, or until you ask us to delete it. While signed in on our website you can tap “Delete my data” under your rewards: everything described in this section about you is deleted at once. You can also write to us at support@brahmanstudios.com to see, correct or delete it.
Remembering that you pre-registered
Our website keeps a few small notes in your browser’s local storage: that you tapped Pre-register (so the rewards section stays open on your next visit), the random visitor number and the label of the link that first brought you (see “Counting visits”), and, if you sign in, your sign-in for up to 30 days so you do not have to sign in again. “Sign out” removes the sign-in, and you can clear all of them at any time in your browser settings.
Updates to This Privacy Statement
Brahman Studios may update this policy occasionally, so please review it frequently. We’ll notify you of material changes via a notice on our home page. Your continued use of our products means you accept the changes. Once you accept this policy, we will not enforce future changes we deem in good faith to be material absent your express agreement to the changed terms.
