Klemon ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how information is collected, used, and disclosed when you download, install, and play PivotCade (the "Application" or "Game").
By using PivotCade, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
================================================================================
1. INFORMATION WE COLLECT
================================================================================
a. Information Automatically Collected
PivotCade does not require user registration, login credentials, or account creation. We do not collect, request, or store personal identifying information such as your name, physical address, email address, or phone number.
However, to deliver smooth gameplay, diagnose crashes, balance level difficulty, and support free access via non-intrusive advertising, the Application utilizes trusted third-party services that may automatically collect certain non-personally identifiable technical information, including:
- Device model, manufacturer, Operating System version, screen resolution, and hardware specifications.
- Anonymous Unique Device Identifiers and Advertising Identifiers (such as Google Advertising ID / AAID).
- Gameplay metrics, moves count, high scores, streaks, speed multipliers, and in-game events.
- Crash logs, error stack traces, ANR reports, and performance diagnostics.
- IP addresses (used strictly for coarse geographic estimation, analytics aggregation, network diagnostics, and fraud prevention).
b. Information Stored Locally on Your Device
PivotCade stores your game progression, high scores, personal bests, theme preferences (Amber, Ice, Cherry, Lime), sound toggles, and haptic feedback settings locally on your device via Android SharedPreferences / local storage. This data remains strictly on your device and is never transmitted to private developer servers.
================================================================================
2. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND SDKs
================================================================================
The Application integrates trusted industry-standard SDKs that process data under their respective privacy policies:
- Google Play Services
Used for Android OS compatibility, security verification, and core system functions.
Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
- Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK)
Used to display non-intrusive banner, app open, interstitial, and rewarded video advertisements. AdMob may utilize device advertising identifiers to serve relevant ads according to your device's ad personalization settings.
Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads
- Google Firebase (Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics & Firebase Remote Config)
Used to aggregate anonymous usage statistics, capture real-time crash logs to fix software bugs, and dynamically adjust game configurations (such as ad frequencies, test ad flags, and game balance parameters) over the air.
Privacy Policy: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy
================================================================================
3. HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION
================================================================================
The non-personal technical and gameplay data collected is used solely to:
- Ensure optimal game performance, 60/120 FPS stability, and low battery consumption across all Android devices.
- Deliver endless arcade stacking runs, speed multipliers, and theme customization.
- Identify, diagnose, and resolve crashes, bugs, and performance bottlenecks via Crashlytics.
- Display relevant and compliant in-game advertisements via AdMob.
- Balance gameplay difficulty, ad frequencies, and improve overall user experience.
================================================================================
4. DATA RETENTION AND SECURITY
================================================================================
We do not maintain private external databases containing your personal information. Our third-party service providers (Google and Firebase) retain anonymized technical, crash, and analytics data in accordance with industry-standard encryption protocols and their respective data retention schedules.
================================================================================
5. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY (COPPA & GDPR COMPLIANCE)
================================================================================
PivotCade is a general-audience arcade game suitable for puzzle and casual game enthusiasts of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13 (or under the applicable age of consent in your jurisdiction). If we discover that a child has provided us with personal information, we will take immediate steps to delete such data.
================================================================================
6. YOUR CHOICES AND OPT-OUT RIGHTS
================================================================================
- Personalized Ads: You can opt out of personalized advertising or reset/delete your Google Advertising ID directly from your Android device settings (Settings -> Google -> Ads -> Reset advertising ID / Delete advertising ID).
- Local Game Data Reset: You can reset your high scores, theme settings, and preferences at any time by clearing the application storage via Android Settings (Settings -> Apps -> PivotCade -> Storage -> Clear Data).
================================================================================
7. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY
================================================================================
We may update our Privacy Policy periodically to reflect updates in legal requirements or game features. Any changes will be posted with an updated "Last Updated" date at the top of this document.
