5. Advertising and your choices
The Game is supported by advertising. Ad partners may use your advertising ID and usage data to show ads that are more relevant to you and to limit how often you see the same ad.
- Android: open Settings › Google › Ads (or Settings › Privacy › Ads) to reset or delete your advertising ID, or to opt out of ad personalisation.
- iOS: the Game asks for permission before tracking you across other companies' apps and websites. You can change your choice at any time in Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking.
- Consent regions: where the law requires it (for example in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland), we ask for your consent before personalised ads are shown. You can change your choice from the privacy option in the Game's settings.
If you opt out you will still see ads, but they will not be based on your interests.
6. How we share information
We share information only in these cases:
- With the service providers and advertising partners listed in Section 4
- When required by law, court order or a valid request from a public authority
- To protect the rights, safety or property of our players, the public or ourselves
- As part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, in which case this Privacy Policy continues to apply to the transferred information
7. Children's privacy
The Game is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the European Economic Area, or the minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has given us personal information, contact us at [CONTACT EMAIL] and we will delete it.
8. Data retention
We keep information only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy. Analytics and diagnostic data is kept in line with the retention settings of our providers [for example, up to 14 months]. Support emails are kept for as long as needed to resolve your request and for a reasonable period afterwards. Data held by third-party providers is kept according to their own policies.
9. Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information, including encrypted transfer of data. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. International transfers
Our service providers may process information in countries other than the one you live in, including the United States. Those countries may have data protection laws that differ from yours. Where required, transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.
11. Your rights
11.1 European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland
You have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal data, to object to its processing, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. Our legal bases for processing are your consent (personalised ads), performance of a contract (providing the Game and purchases), and our legitimate interests (analytics, security and improving the Game). You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
11.2 United States
Depending on the state you live in (including California), you may have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request its deletion or correction, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for targeted advertising. You can opt out using the device settings in Section 5 or by contacting us. We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights.
11.3 Other regions
You may have similar rights under the laws of your country. We honour valid requests wherever you live.
11.4 How to make a request
Email info.socialatoz@gmail.com with the subject line "Privacy request". Because we do not hold your name or email, we may ask for your advertising ID or app instance ID so we can locate your data. We respond within 30 days.
12. Deleting your data
Uninstalling the Game removes the data stored on your device. To request deletion of data held by us or our providers, contact us as described in Section 11.4.
13. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The new version will be posted at this address with an updated effective date. For significant changes we will give notice inside the Game. Continuing to play after a change means you accept the updated policy.
