Privacy Policy
We are committed to protecting your privacy and personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, disclose, and protect your personal information when you download, install, and use our Game. By accessing or using the Game, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to the terms of this Privacy Policy, including our collection and use of your data as described herein.
This Privacy Policy complies with applicable data protection laws and regulations, including but not limited to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) of the European Union, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and the requirements of Apple App Store and Google Play Store. We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, and any material changes will be notified to you through in-game prompts, email, or other reasonable means. Your continued use of the Game after the effective date of the updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information about you in two main ways: information you provide to us voluntarily, and information we collect automatically when you use the Game. We only collect data that is necessary for the operation of the Game, improvement of our services, and compliance with legal obligations, and we do not collect any unnecessary personal information.
1.1 Information You Provide Voluntarily
- Account Information: When you create an account for the Game, you may need to provide a username, email address, and password. If you choose to log in through a third-party account (such as Google, Apple, or Facebook), we will only collect the information that the third-party platform authorizes us to access (e.g., your username and profile picture), and we will not obtain your third-party account password.
- Profile Information: You may optionally provide additional profile information, such as your avatar, nickname, or game preferences, to personalize your gaming experience.
- Contact and Transaction Information: If you participate in in-game purchases, promotions, or contests, you may need to provide payment information (processed by third-party payment providers, such as Apple Pay or Google Pay; we do not store your full credit card details) or contact information (such as your email address or shipping address) to receive prizes or related services.
- User-Generated Content: When you use in-game chat functions, post comments, or submit feedback, we may collect the content you send, including messages, images, or other materials, to facilitate communication and improve our services.
1.2 Information Collected Automatically
- Device Information: We automatically collect information about your device, including device model, operating system version, device identifier (such as Advertising ID or UUID), network type, and screen resolution. This information is used to ensure the Game is compatible with your device, fix technical bugs, and optimize the gaming experience.
- Usage Data: We collect data about how you use the Game, including game progress, in-game actions (such as character selection, battles, and purchases), play time, frequency of use, and features accessed. This data helps us analyze user behavior, improve game content, and provide personalized recommendations.
- Log Data: We collect log data, including your IP address, access time, and error logs. This information is used to monitor the stability of the Game, detect and prevent fraud or unauthorized access, and ensure the security of our services.
- Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons and local storage) to store your preferences, remember your login status, and analyze usage patterns. You can disable cookies through your device or browser settings, but this may affect some features of the Game not working properly.
- Location Data (Optional): If you enable location permissions, we may collect your approximate location (derived from your IP address or device location) to provide location-based features (such as regional leaderboards or in-game events). You can disable location permissions at any time through your device settings.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information for the following legitimate purposes, in compliance with applicable laws and regulations:
- To operate and maintain the Game, including providing core game functions, ensuring service stability, and fixing technical issues.
- To personalize your gaming experience, such as recommending game content, customizing in-game settings, and displaying personalized advertisements based on your preferences and usage habits.
- To process in-game purchases, manage transactions, and send you purchase confirmations, invoices, or related notifications.
- To communicate with you, including responding to your feedback, inquiries, or complaints, and sending you important updates about the Game (such as new features, maintenance notices, or security alerts).
- To improve our services, including analyzing user behavior, optimizing game design, developing new features, and enhancing the overall quality of the Game.
- To ensure security and prevent fraud, including detecting and blocking unauthorized access, protecting your account security, and complying with anti-fraud obligations.
- To comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal obligations, such as responding to legal requests from law enforcement agencies or courts.
- To conduct marketing activities (with your consent), such as sending you information about promotions, contests, or other related services. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time.
3. How We Share Your Information
We respect your privacy and will not sell, rent, or disclose your personal information to third parties except in the following circumstances:
- Third-Party Service Providers: We may share your information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Game and providing services, such as cloud storage providers, payment processors, analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics), and customer support platforms. These third parties are required to comply with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws, and they are only authorized to use your information for the purposes of providing services to us.
- Third-Party Login and Payment Platforms: If you log in through a third-party account or use a third-party payment service, we will share necessary information with these platforms to complete the login or payment process. For example, we may share your transaction ID with Apple Pay or Google Pay to process your in-game purchase, but we will not share your full payment details.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law, regulation, legal process (such as a court order or subpoena), or government request, to protect our legal rights, property, or safety, or the rights, property, or safety of others.
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or other business transfer, your information may be transferred to the successor entity as part of the business assets. We will notify you in advance if such a transfer occurs, and the successor entity will be bound by this Privacy Policy.
- With Your Consent: We may share your information with third parties for other purposes only with your explicit consent.
We do not share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing purposes without your consent.
4. Data Storage and Security
4.1 Data Storage
We store your personal information on secure servers located in [specify region, e.g., the United States, European Union] or on servers operated by our trusted third-party service providers. The storage period of your information will be the minimum time necessary to achieve the purposes stated in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer storage period is required by law. After the storage period expires, we will securely delete or anonymize your personal information so that it can no longer be used to identify you.
4.2 Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, modification, or destruction. These measures include, but are not limited to, data encryption (using AES-256 encryption technology), firewalls, access control systems, regular security audits, and employee training on data protection. We also require our third-party service providers to implement similar security measures to protect your information.
However, please note that no data transmission or storage method is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information, and you assume certain risks when using the Game, such as unauthorized access due to factors beyond our control (e.g., hacking attacks, device theft).
