GILDED CAGE WALTZ PRIVACY POLICY

Last updated: September 25, 2026

This privacy policy applies to the mobile game Gilded Cage Waltz, listed on Google Play as "Gilded Cage Waltz: Mafia Otome", distributed on Google Play under the package name com.linshuo.gilded, and developed and published by TidalAurum, LLC ("we", "us" or "our"). It explains what information the game uses, where that information is kept, which third-party services are involved and what choices you have. If we release Gilded Cage Waltz on other app stores, this policy applies there as well.

SUMMARY

Gilded Cage Waltz does not require an account, a login or any personal details. We do not run our own servers for the game, and we do not collect, receive or store your personal information ourselves. Your story progress is saved only on your own device. Three kinds of third-party services are involved: Google Play (downloads and in-app purchases), Google AdMob (optional rewarded video ads) and the Unity game engine. These services may process some device information as described below.

INFORMATION SAVED ON YOUR DEVICE

To let you continue your story, the game saves the following on your device, in the game's private app storage. This includes the name you choose for your character, your story progress and the choices you made, your diamonds and tickets, the scenes and images you have unlocked, which lines of the story you have already read (used for the Skip feature), your settings, and the times used for the free ticket timer and ticket reminders. When you buy something, the game also saves the purchase order identifier so the same purchase is never delivered twice.

This information stays on your device. It is not sent to us or to anyone else, and we cannot see it.

IN-APP PURCHASES

Purchases in Gilded Cage Waltz are processed by Google Play Billing. Google handles the payment itself, and we never receive your name, email address, payment card or billing details. To deliver and restore your purchases, the game receives from Google Play the product you bought, the order identifier and the purchase token, and uses them on your device only. Purchases of the Season One Pass are kept by Google Play and can be restored at any time with the Restore Purchases button in the shop. Google's handling of purchase information is described in the Google Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

ADVERTISING

Gilded Cage Waltz shows rewarded video ads from Google AdMob. These ads only play when you choose to watch one, for example to receive a free ticket or free diamonds. When an ad is requested or shown, Google AdMob may collect and use information such as your device's advertising ID, IP address, device model and operating system, app information, approximate location derived from the IP address, and how you interact with the ad. Google uses this information to deliver ads, measure them, limit how often you see the same ad, and prevent fraud.

Where the law requires it, including in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and certain US states, the game asks for your consent through Google's User Messaging Platform before personalized ads are shown. You can change your choices at any time from Privacy Settings in the game menu when this option is shown for your region. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of ads personalization, in your Android device's Google or Privacy settings.

More information on how Google uses data from apps that show its ads is available at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites, and the Google Privacy Policy is at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

NOTIFICATIONS

If you allow notifications, the game schedules a local reminder on your device to let you know when a free ticket is ready. At most one reminder is sent per day, and none are sent at night. These reminders are created and delivered entirely on your device, and no information is sent to a server to deliver them. On Android 13 and later the game asks for your permission first. You can turn notifications off at any time in your device's settings.

GAME ENGINE AND SERVICE PROVIDERS

Gilded Cage Waltz is built with the Unity engine by Unity Technologies. Unity may collect limited technical information, such as device model, operating system version, hardware specifications and performance data, to operate and improve the engine and its in-app purchase services. This information is not used by us to identify you. Unity's privacy policy is available at https://unity.com/legal/privacy-policy.

PERMISSIONS

The game uses internet and network access to show ads and to connect to Google Play for purchases, the Google Play billing permission for in-app purchases, the notification permission for ticket reminders, and the advertising ID permission used by Google AdMob. The game does not access your contacts, photos, camera, microphone, files or precise location.

HOW INFORMATION IS SHARED

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it with anyone. The only information that leaves your device is what Google Play, Google AdMob and Unity process directly, as described above, under their own privacy policies.

DATA RETENTION AND DELETION

Everything the game saves on your device stays there until you delete it. You can delete all of it at any time by uninstalling the game, or by clearing its storage in your device's settings (Settings, Apps, Gilded Cage Waltz, Storage, Clear storage). Doing this also deletes your story progress and in-game currency. Purchases of the Season One Pass remain with your Google Play account and can be restored. Information processed by Google or Unity is kept according to their own policies, and you can use the controls described in the Advertising section to reset your advertising ID or limit ad personalization.

CHILDREN

Gilded Cage Waltz is a romance story with mature themes, including crime, violence and obsessive relationships. It is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13, or under the minimum age required in your country. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the game, please contact us and we will help remove it.

YOUR RIGHTS

Depending on where you live, including under the GDPR in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom and under California and other US state privacy laws, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal information, and to object to or opt out of personalized advertising. Because we do not hold personal information on our own systems, you can exercise most of these rights directly on your device, as described above. For information processed for advertising, you can use your consent choices in Privacy Settings and your device's ad settings, or contact Google. If you have any request or question, contact us using the details below and we will respond within 30 days.

SECURITY

Game data is stored in the app's private storage, which other apps cannot read. Communication with Google Play and Google AdMob uses encrypted connections. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure, but we keep the information the game uses to the minimum needed to run it.

INTERNATIONAL PROCESSING

Google and Unity may process information in the United States and in other countries where they operate, under the safeguards described in their privacy policies.

CHANGES TO THIS POLICY

We may update this privacy policy when the game changes or when the law requires it. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last updated. If we make significant changes, we will let you know in the game or on its Google Play listing.
