Your privacy is important to us, and we are committed to protecting your information. By downloading, accessing, or playing Arena, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
We collect information in the following ways:
a) Information Collected Automatically via Third-Party Services:
Firebase Analytics (Google): We use Firebase Analytics to understand how our players interact with the Game. This service helps us analyze gameplay to improve the experience. Information collected may include, but is not limited to:
Session duration and in-game activity (e.g., waves completed, items purchased).
Game events like starting a new game, character unlocks, and game overs.
Device information (e.g., device model, operating system version).
General geographic location (e.g., country, city).
Crash reports and performance data.
For more details, please refer to Google's Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy and the Firebase Privacy and Security documentation: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy.
Google AdMob: We may use Google AdMob to display advertisements within the Game to support its development. AdMob may collect and use information to provide personalized or non-personalized ads. This may include:
Device identifiers (like IDFA on iOS, subject to your consent).
IP address for general location.
Ad interaction data.
For more information, please review Google's Advertising privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
b) Information Stored Locally on Your Device:
The following game data is stored locally on your device using UserDefaults to save your progress and is not transmitted to us:
High Scores: Your best game results, including score and waves passed.
Highest Wave Progress: Your highest wave reached for each difficulty level to manage unlocking new challenges.
Player Unlocks: Which Player Types (Affinities) and other content you have unlocked.
Currency: Your "Win Coin" balance.
c) Information You Provide to Us Directly:
We do not currently request or collect any personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name or email address through the Game itself. If you contact us directly for support (e.g., via email), we will use the information you provide only to resolve your query.
We use the collected information for the following purposes:
To Provide and Improve the Game: Understanding how players progress and what features they use helps us improve gameplay and balance (via Firebase Analytics).
To Provide Advertising: To display advertisements that support the Game (via Google AdMob).
To Maintain and Analyze Game Functionality: To monitor app performance, diagnose issues, and understand usage patterns (via Firebase Analytics).
To Provide Customer Support: To respond to your inquiries if you contact us.
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information under the following circumstances:
With Third-Party Service Providers: As described above, Google (for Firebase Analytics and AdMob) collects and processes data according to their own privacy policies. We recommend you review their policies.
For Legal Reasons: We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities.
To Protect Our Rights: We may disclose information if we believe it's necessary to investigate potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, or situations involving potential threats to safety.
Our Game uses the following third-party services:
Firebase Analytics (by Google): For game analytics.
Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Google AdMob (by Google): For serving advertisements.
Advertising Policy: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads
Advertisements in our Game are served by Google AdMob. You can often limit ad tracking or opt-out of personalized advertising through your device's settings (e.g., "Limit Ad Tracking" on iOS).
Data Retention: We do not store your personal data on our servers; third-party services like Firebase retain data according to their own policies. Game progress data (high scores, unlocks) is stored locally on your device until the app's data is cleared or the app is uninstalled.
Data Security: We take reasonable measures to protect the information we handle. However, no security system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at novainproduction@gmail.com.
Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information.
Advertising Choices: You can control how your information is used for personalized advertising through your mobile device's settings.
Local Data: Game progress data is stored locally and can be reset by clearing the app's data or reinstalling the app.
For any requests regarding your privacy rights, please contact us.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy within the Game or on our App Store page. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
