1. Information We Collect
Fish Eat Fish is a game where you grow by eating smaller fish. Our data collection aims to enhance your gameplay while respecting your privacy.
1.1 Information You Provide Directly:
Optional Account Information: If you choose to create an in-game account, you might provide a username or email address. This is typically for saving game progress across devices, participating in leaderboards, or receiving in-game notifications.
Customer Support: If you contact us for support, you may provide your contact information (like an email address) and details about your inquiry.
1.2 Information Collected Automatically:
Device Information: We collect information about the device you use to access the App, including device model, operating system version, unique device identifiers (like advertising IDs), screen resolution, and mobile network information. This helps us ensure compatibility, optimize game performance, and deliver a smooth experience.
Usage Data: We collect information about how you interact with the App, such as game progress, levels played, scores, in-game achievements, features accessed, time spent in the App, and crash reports. This data helps us understand player behavior, improve gameplay mechanics, balance difficulty, and fix bugs.

Advertising Identifiers: We may collect advertising identifiers (like Google Advertising ID on Android or IDFA on iOS) for advertising and analytics purposes. These identifiers allow third-party ad networks to deliver relevant ads and measure ad campaign performance. You can typically reset these identifiers or opt-out of personalized advertising through your device settings.

3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with third parties in the following limited circumstances:
Service Providers: We engage third-party companies and individuals to facilitate our App and related services. These include, but are not limited to:
Analytics Providers: (e.g., Google Analytics for Firebase) to help us understand app usage and player behavior in an aggregated and anonymized form.
Advertising Partners: (e.g., Google AdMob) to deliver and measure in-game advertisements. These partners may use advertising identifiers to serve personalized ads based on your device settings.
Cloud Hosting Providers: For storing optional account data (like game progress if you choose to sync).
These third parties have access to your information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are contractually obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
With Your Consent: We may share your information if you give us explicit permission to do so (e.g., sharing your high score on social media).
For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law, court order, or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., government agencies).
To Protect Our Rights: We may disclose information where we believe it is necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding potential violations of our policies, suspected fraud, or situations involving potential threats to the safety or rights of any person.
Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity as part of the transaction. We will notify you via a prominent notice in the App or on our website of any such change in ownership or control of your information.
4. Data Retention and Security
Data Retention: We retain the information we collect for as long as necessary to provide the App's services, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Game progress data linked to an optional account will be retained until the account is deleted or as otherwise required by law.
Security: We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
5. Your Choices and Rights
Advertising Choices: You can often limit personalized advertising by adjusting the settings on your mobile device. This typically involves resetting your advertising ID or opting out of ad personalization through your device's privacy settings (e.g., on Android: Settings > Google > Ads; on iOS: Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking).
Device Permissions: You can control the permissions the App has on your device (e.g., storage access for game saves). You can manage these permissions through your device's operating system settings. Please note that restricting certain permissions may affect game functionality.
Data Access and Deletion: Depending on your jurisdiction and the type of data we hold, you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal data. Please contact us to exercise these rights.
6. Children's Privacy
Our App is designed for a general audience and is not specifically directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any personal identifiable information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under the age of 13 without verifiable parental consent, we will take immediate steps to remove that information from our servers.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy within the App or on our website and updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this policy.
