Data We Collect

Data You Provide:

  • Email Address (Optional): If you choose to link your email to the Service, it will be used to save your progress across devices.

Data Collected Automatically:

  • Device Hardware ID: When accessing the Service without linking an email, we create a default guest account using a unique identifier derived from your device’s hardware ID. This allows you to save your progress locally on your device.
  • Analytics Data: Information about your gameplay progress and interactions with the Service is collected through Unity and PlayFab to improve the game experience. This may include device information such as operating system, game performance metrics, and general usage statistics.

Purpose of Data Collection
To operate and improve the Service, we collect and process data to:

  • Create and manage guest accounts using the device hardware ID.
  • Save and track player progress within the game, including storing certain data locally on your device.
  • Monitor analytics to enhance gameplay and user experience.

Data Sharing

Partners Working for Us:
We share limited data with Unity and PlayFab for analytics and game management. These partners process data in accordance with their privacy policies.

Your Rights and Options

  • Access Your Data: You may request a copy of the data we collect by contacting us at [email protected].
  • Delete Your Data: You can delete your guest account, linked account data, or locally stored data directly through the game settings.
    • In-Game Deletion: Players now have the option to delete their account directly within the game settings. This action will permanently remove your game progress, settings, and associated data from our servers and your device.
    • Note: Deleting your account or local data will result in the loss of game progress and settings.

Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use technologies like Unity Analytics and PlayFab to collect analytics data. You can manage your preferences through your device settings.

Data Security
We implement technical security measures, such as encrypting sensitive data (e.g., credentials hashed using SHA-256), to protect against unauthorized access.

Data Retention
We retain data as long as necessary to provide the Service. Guest accounts may be deleted after extended inactivity. Locally stored data remains on your device until you choose to delete it from the game settings or until it is automatically removed after inactivity.

Age Limits
We do not knowingly collect data from individuals under the age of 13. If we discover that we have inadvertently collected such data, we will delete it promptly.
