Effective Date: December 25, 2024
This Privacy Policy applies to the NeighborhoodDefense mobile application (the “Application”), which is provided by Amit Fayeg (the “Service Provider”) as a free service. It explains how we collect, use, and disclose personal and non-personal information when you use our Application. By using the Application, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Automatically Collected Information
When you use the Application, we may automatically collect certain information from your device, including:
Device IP address
Operating system (e.g., iOS, Android)
Pages or screens viewed within the Application and the time spent on them
Date and time of your visits
User-Provided Information
For a better experience, while using the Application, we may require certain personally identifiable information, including but not limited to:
Email address
Name (or display name)
Profile picture (optional, if available)
User ID (a unique identifier provided via Google Sign-In)
Location Information
The Application does not collect precise information about the geographical location of your device.
We may use the information we collect or receive for various purposes, such as to:
Provide and maintain the Application’s features and services
Authenticate you and allow you to log in using third-party services like Google Sign-In
Contact you with important information, required notices, or marketing promotions
Analyze usage to improve the performance and usability of the Application
Ensure the security of the Application and protect against fraud or misuse
Google Sign-In
If you opt to sign in using Google, we may receive your email address, display name, profile picture, and a unique user ID. We use this information solely for authentication, account creation, and linking your progress within the game.
You can manage or revoke Google Sign-In permissions in your Google Account settings.
Unity
The Application may integrate Unity for game development and analytics purposes. Unity may collect certain device information (e.g., device identifiers, usage data) to help us improve game performance and player experience.
Other Third-Party Services
The Application may use other third-party tools or services that collect, monitor, or analyze data to help us enhance the Application. Each third-party service has its own Privacy Policy regarding the use of such information. We encourage you to review the Privacy Policies of these providers:
We will share your personal information with third parties only in the ways described in this Privacy Policy:
With your consent: When you have given us explicit permission to share the information.
Legal requirements: If required by law, such as complying with a subpoena or similar legal process, or when we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, your safety, or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a government request.
Service providers: With our trusted service providers who work on our behalf, do not have an independent use of the information we disclose to them, and have agreed to adhere to the rules set forth in this Privacy Policy.
Aggregated, anonymized data: We may share aggregated, anonymized data (data that does not identify an individual) with third parties for analytics, research, or marketing purposes.
We will retain the information you provide (e.g., email address, profile data) for as long as you use the Application and for a reasonable time thereafter to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. If you would like us to delete any personal information you have provided through the Application, please contact us at nbvgamez@gmail.com, and we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
You can stop the collection of information by the Application at any time by uninstalling it. You may also opt out of data collection by revoking permissions in your device settings (where applicable) or through your Google Account settings for Google Sign-In.
The Application does not address anyone under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age. If we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will delete it promptly. If you are a parent or guardian and become aware that your child has provided personal information, please contact us at nbvgamez@gmail.com so we can take the necessary steps to remove such information.
We are committed to safeguarding the confidentiality of your information. We take reasonable measures—physical, electronic, and procedural—to protect your information from unauthorized access and use.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the new policy on this page and update the “Effective Date” at the top. Your continued use of the Application after we post any modifications indicates your acceptance of those changes.
10. Account and Data Deletion
Since the Application only uses Google Sign-In for authentication, we do not store additional user data on our own servers. However, to comply with data protection requirements, we provide the following options for users who wish to remove our access to their information:
Google Account Access Removal
You can remove our Application’s access to your Google Account at any time by visiting myaccount.google.com.
In your Google Account, navigate to Security > Third-party apps with account access (or similar wording).
Select the Application (NeighborhoodDefense) and choose Remove Access.
This action ensures we no longer have permission to access your Google profile information (display name, email, etc.).
Request Data Deletion
If you believe we may have stored any additional data (for example, saved game progress) and would like it deleted, please let us know using the instructions below.
Contact us by email: nbvgamez@gmail.com and include the email address or user ID linked to your Google Sign-In account so we can locate and remove any associated data.
Confirmation of Deletion
Once your request is received, we will verify your account details and promptly remove any stored data associated with your account.
We will send you a confirmation message or email when the deletion is complete.
Uninstalling the Application
You may also stop using the Application and remove any data collection by uninstalling it from your device. Keep in mind that uninstalling does not automatically revoke our Application’s access to your Google Account. You must separately revoke access in your Google Account settings.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, our data practices, or the information we hold about you, please contact us via email at nbvgamez@gmail.com.
By installing or using the Application, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and agree to be bound by it.
