Privacy Policy

Effective Date: March 31, 2026

GameHive ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and disclose information when you use our mobile application, GameHive (the "App").

1. Information Collection and Use

1.1 Local Data Collection (Offline)

GameHive is designed as an "offline-first" experience. Most data created within the App is stored exclusively on your device.

• Player Profiles: When you set up a player profile, we store the player's name, chosen avatar, and color preference locally using your device's storage (AsyncStorage).

• Game Progress: Scores, achievements, and game state (e.g., progress in "Number Forge" or "Equation Builder") are saved locally on your device.

• Account Information: We do not require you to create an account, provide an email address, or link to social media profiles to play GameHive.

1.2 Potential Future Services (Advertising)

To keep GameHive free to play, we may incorporate third-party advertising services in a future update. Specifically, we plan to use Google AdMob (Google Ads).

• Once incorporated, Google AdMob may collect and use certain data to show you relevant advertisements. This data may include:

  • Advertising Identifiers: Such as the Android Advertising ID or Apple Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA).

  • Device Information: Including device model, operating system version, and unique device identifiers.

  • Analytics: Data related to ad interactions and app usage patterns.

• Google’s use of the advertising ID allows it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our App and/or other sites on the Internet.

• You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings or your device's privacy settings.

2. Data Storage and Security

We do not operate a central server to store your personal data. All player profiles and game progress are stored in your device's secure local storage.

• Data Deletion: If you uninstall GameHive or clear its data in your device settings, all locally stored data (profiles and scores) will be permanently deleted.

• Security: We implement standard security measures to protect the integrity of the data stored on your device. However, you are responsible for maintaining the security of your device.

3. Children's Privacy

GameHive is a family-friendly game.

• We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.

• Since all player data is stored locally and we do not provide a way to share data with other users or us, no child's personal data is transmitted to our servers.

• If we incorporate Google Ads, we configure settings to comply with COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) where applicable.

4. Your Rights

Depending on your location (such as the European Economic Area under GDPR or California under CCPA), you may have certain rights regarding your data.

• Since we do not store your data on our servers, you can exercise your rights (such as the right to access, delete, or correct data) directly on your device by managing your player profiles or uninstalling the App.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by updating the "Effective Date" at the top of this document and providing a notice within the App if necessary.
