Critter Havoc Privacy Policy
Effective Date: September 25, 2026
Last Updated: September 25, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how BackRoadsGaming Studio ("we," "us," or "our") handles information in connection with Critter Havoc (the "Game").
Critter Havoc is currently in testing and development. The Game does not require players to create a Critter Havoc account or directly provide BackRoadsGaming Studio with a name, email address, phone number, password, or similar account information in order to play.
The Game uses, or may use as features are introduced, third-party technologies and services provided by companies such as Unity Technologies and Google. These services may automatically collect or process certain technical, diagnostic, gameplay, device, advertising, purchase, or platform-related information as described below.
The particular services and data practices applicable to Critter Havoc may change as the Game moves from testing to full release and as features are added or modified.
1. Information We Collect or Process
Depending on the version of Critter Havoc, the player's device, and the services enabled in the Game, Critter Havoc and its service providers may collect or process the following categories of information.
Device and Technical Information
Technical information may include:
Device manufacturer and model;
Device type;

Other technical information necessary to operate, test, diagnose, secure, or improve the Game.
Critter Havoc does not request or collect precise GPS location from players for purposes of operating the Game.
Analytics and Game Activity
When analytics services are enabled, certain information about use of the Game may be processed. This can include automatically generated application events, session information, installation identifiers, technical information, and information relating to the operation and performance of the Game.
Critter Havoc does not currently use developer-created custom analytics events for the purpose of creating detailed behavioral profiles of individual players.
Unity Analytics may automatically collect standard events and associated technical information when that service is enabled.
Crash, Diagnostic, and Performance Information
Critter Havoc may use diagnostic services to help identify and correct technical problems.
These services may process information such as:
Crash logs;
Error information;
Application diagnostics;
Game performance information;
Device or installation identifiers;
Device characteristics; and
Other technical information associated with a crash or performance problem.
This information is used to diagnose bugs, crashes, compatibility problems, and performance issues.
Information We Do Not Intentionally Request Directly
Critter Havoc does not currently require players to directly provide BackRoadsGaming Studio with:
Their legal name;
Email address;
Phone number;
Physical address;
Contacts;
Private messages;
Photographs;
Precise geographic location; or
A Critter Havoc username or password.
Some third-party platform or service providers may separately process information associated with a player's account with that provider, as described in this Privacy Policy and their respective privacy policies.
2. How Information Is Used

3. Unity Technologies
Critter Havoc is developed using the Unity game engine and may use Unity services including Analytics, Diagnostics, advertising, and in-app purchasing services.
Depending on which Unity services are active in a particular version of the Game, Unity may process technical, device, diagnostic, analytics, advertising, installation, purchase, and related information.
For example, Unity Analytics documentation indicates that the service may process an installation identifier, approximate location, application diagnostics, application performance information, and device or other identifiers.

4. Google Play and Google Play Games Services
Critter Havoc is distributed through Google Play and may use Google Play Games Services for platform features such as online leaderboards.
Players are not required to create a separate Critter Havoc account.
If Google Play Games Services are enabled and a player uses those services, Google may process information associated with the player's Google Play Games profile and use of those services.
For leaderboard functionality, gameplay information necessary to operate the leaderboard, such as a player's high score, may be submitted to Google Play Games Services and associated with the player's applicable Play Games identity or identifier.
Google may independently collect or process information through Google Play, Google Play Games Services, Android, and other Google services according to Google's policies.
BackRoadsGaming Studio does not control information independently collected by Google through a player's Google account or Google's platform services.
5. Accounts
Critter Havoc does not require players to create a separate Critter Havoc account.
BackRoadsGaming Studio does not currently operate an independent player-account system requiring players to register a username, password, email address, or similar credentials.
Players may choose to use third-party platform features, such as Google Play Games Services, that are associated with accounts maintained by those third-party providers.
Account information maintained by Google or another platform provider is governed by that provider's policies and account-management systems.
6. Leaderboards and High Scores
Critter Havoc may provide online leaderboard functionality through Google Play Games Services.
When leaderboard functionality is enabled, information necessary to provide the leaderboard may include:
A player's high score;
A Google Play Games player or platform identifier;
A display name or profile information made available by the platform; and
Related information necessary to display, maintain, secure, and operate the leaderboard.
This information is used to provide leaderboard functionality and allow players to compare scores.
Players are not required to create a separate Critter Havoc account for this functionality.
7. Advertising
Critter Havoc may include advertising in future releases or updates, including rewarded advertisements and interstitial advertisements.
Advertising services are not necessarily active in every version of Critter Havoc.
When advertising functionality is enabled, third-party advertising services may collect or process information such as:
Device or advertising identifiers;
IP address and approximate location;
Device and operating-system information;
Advertisement impressions;
Advertisement interactions, including taps or clicks;
Application activity related to advertising;
Advertising performance information; and
Information used for fraud prevention, security, analytics, advertising, or marketing.
Unity's current disclosure documentation, for example, states that Unity Ads may collect and share information concerning interactions occurring during the advertising experience and may process certain app activity for advertising, analytics, fraud prevention, security, and compliance purposes. Unity Docs
The advertising services and associated privacy practices used by Critter Havoc will be disclosed as applicable when advertising functionality is introduced or materially changed.
8. In-App Purchases
Critter Havoc may offer optional in-app purchases in a future release or update.
Purchases made through Google Play are processed through Google's payment systems. BackRoadsGaming Studio does not directly receive a player's full credit card or bank account information through Critter Havoc.
If Unity In-App Purchasing or similar services are used, information necessary to process, verify, restore, analyze, or manage purchases may be processed by Unity, Google, or other applicable service providers.
Unity's current In-App Purchasing documentation indicates that its service may process certain purchase-related information, identifiers, approximate location, and, in some circumstances, an email address associated with purchase functionality. Unity Docs
Any in-app purchase functionality will be subject to the privacy practices of the applicable payment and platform providers.
9. Data Sharing and Disclosure
BackRoadsGaming Studio does not sell players' personal information for monetary compensation.
Information may be processed by or disclosed to service providers where reasonably necessary to operate, distribute, test, maintain, analyze, monetize, secure, or improve Critter Havoc.
These providers may include:
Unity Technologies;
Google and Google Play;
Google Play Games Services;
Advertising providers when advertising is enabled;
Payment and in-app purchase providers when purchases are enabled; and
Other technical service providers that may be introduced in future versions of the Game.
Information may also be disclosed where reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, legal process, regulatory requirements, protect the security or integrity of the Game, investigate fraud or abuse, or protect the rights and safety of BackRoadsGaming Studio, its players, or others.
Third-party service providers process information according to their respective terms, privacy policies, and applicable agreements.
10. Data Retention and Deletion
BackRoadsGaming Studio does not currently maintain a separate Critter Havoc player-account database containing player names, email addresses, passwords, or phone numbers.
Technical, analytics, diagnostic, advertising, purchase, leaderboard, or other information processed by third-party providers may be retained according to those providers' respective retention policies.
Where BackRoadsGaming Studio controls information associated with Critter Havoc, it will retain that information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, to operate and improve the Game, fulfill legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud or abuse, and enforce applicable agreements.
Where deletion functionality is available through an applicable service, requests relating to data controlled by BackRoadsGaming Studio may be submitted using the contact information below.
Requests concerning information controlled independently by Google, Unity, or another third-party provider may need to be submitted directly to that provider.
Because Critter Havoc does not currently provide a separate Critter Havoc account-creation system, there is currently no Critter Havoc account for a player to delete.
Google's current account-deletion requirement applies when an application enables account creation; Google separately requires developers to answer data-deletion questions as part of the Play Console Data Safety process. Google Help
11. Children's Privacy
Critter Havoc does not currently require players to provide their name, email address, phone number, physical address, or similar directly identifying information to BackRoadsGaming Studio in order to play.
BackRoadsGaming Studio does not knowingly use Critter Havoc to solicit directly identifying personal information from children.
Third-party services incorporated into the Game may process technical information as described in this Privacy Policy.
If Critter Havoc is directed to children, or if its audience, advertising configuration, online services, or data practices change in a manner that requires additional protections or parental consent under applicable law or Google Play policies, appropriate measures will be implemented and this Privacy Policy will be updated.
12. Data Security
BackRoadsGaming Studio takes reasonable measures appropriate to the nature of the Game and information involved to protect information under its control against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
Information transmitted to third-party service providers is also subject to the security measures and practices of those providers.
No method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
13. International Processing
Unity, Google, and other service providers used by Critter Havoc may process information on servers located outside the player's state, province, or country.
As a result, information may be processed in jurisdictions with data-protection laws different from those in the player's location.
Such processing is subject to the privacy practices and legal safeguards of the applicable service provider.
14. Changes to This Privacy Policy
Critter Havoc is under active development, and this Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time.
Changes may be made when, for example:
Critter Havoc transitions from testing to public release;
Advertising is introduced or changed;
In-app purchases are introduced or changed;
Online leaderboards or Google Play Games features are introduced or changed;
Analytics or diagnostic services change;
New gameplay or online features are introduced;
