We use third-party services to help us improve the Game:

- Device information (device type, operating system version)
- Approximate geographic location based on IP address
- Game performance metrics
- Session duration and interactions
Google Analytics data is used to understand how players interact with our mobile game and improve user experience. This data is anonymized (removing all personally identifiable information) and retained indefinitely to help us track long-term trends and make game improvements.
Sentry:
This service collects information when errors occur:
- Error reports and crash data
- Device and system information at the time of error
- Actions performed before an error occurred
- Application performance metrics
Sentry data helps us identify and fix technical issues quickly to ensure a smooth gaming experience. Crash reports and error data are retained only until the issues are resolved or determined to be irrelevant, after which they are permanently deleted.
RevenueCat:
This service handles in-app purchases and subscription management:
- Purchase history and subscription status
- Transaction identifiers
- App Store/Google Play account information
- Device identifiers necessary for purchase restoration
RevenueCat data is used to process and manage your in-app purchases, validate subscriptions, and allow you to restore purchases across devices. This data is retained as long as you maintain active purchases or subscriptions with the Game.
Important note about game data: Game-related data (player and game information) is used exclusively for the purpose of the game's functionality and is not stored persistently. All game-related information is retained only during the active game session and is automatically deleted at the conclusion of the game. Sensitive data, including but not limited to location data, is never stored on disk; it is temporarily stored in memory during the transfer of your location to other players and is deleted when no longer needed for gameplay.
Use of Information
The collected information is used for the following purposes:
- Functionality: To provide you with the core functionality of the Game.
- Analytics: To understand player behavior and improve the Game's performance and user experience.
- Error Monitoring: To identify and fix technical issues that may impact your gameplay experience.
- Purchase Management: To process and manage in-app purchases and subscriptions.
Data Storage and Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized or unlawful processing, accidental loss, destruction, or damage. These security measures include:
- Encryption of sensitive data in transit
- Secure server environments with restricted access
- Regular security assessments and updates
- Employee data protection training
For analytics and error tracking data, information is processed and stored by our third-party service providers (Google Analytics, Sentry, and RevenueCat) in accordance with their respective privacy policies and security standards. These service providers may store data on servers located outside your country of residence.
While we take reasonable steps to secure your data, no method of electronic storage or transmission over the internet is 100% secure. Therefore, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information under any circumstances. The collected data is only used for analytics, game functionality, and issue detection. Data is not shared with third parties, except as required by law or with the following service providers:
- Google Analytics: For game usage analytics
- Sentry: For error monitoring and debugging
- RevenueCat: For processing and managing in-app purchases and subscriptions
We may also disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency).
Data Retention
Our data retention policies are as follows:
- Game session data: All game-related information (including player information and game information) is automatically deleted when your game session ends
- Location data: Only stored temporarily in memory during gameplay and never persisted to disk
- Anonymized analytics data: Retained indefinitely to support continuous game improvement
- Non-anonymized analytics data: Only stored during the active game session and then deleted
- Crash reports and error data: Stored only until the specific issues are resolved or determined to be irrelevant
- Purchase and subscription data: Retained as long as you maintain active purchases or subscriptions with the Game to enable purchase restoration and subscription management
Please note that as a mobile application, the Game does not offer an option to opt out of anonymous analytics collection, which is essential for improving the gaming experience.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information under applicable privacy laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), or other similar regulations.
These rights may include:
- The right to access information we hold about you
- The right to request correction of inaccurate personal information
- The right to request deletion of your personal information in certain circumstances
- The right to object to or restrict certain processing of your personal information
- The right to data portability in certain circumstances
Since most game-related data is only stored during active game sessions and deleted afterward, many of these rights apply primarily to your purchase history and anonymized analytics data. To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the information in the Contact Us section.
Children's Privacy
Our services are not directed to children under the age of 13 (or 16 in certain jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child, please contact us immediately, and we will take steps to delete such information.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting the updated Privacy Policy on the Game's website. We will indicate at the top of this page when this Privacy Policy was last revised. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
