Playtonz (“Playtonz,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a tech company that creates and publishes mobile games. Through this Privacy Policy, we want to clarify how and why we collect, store, share, and handle your personal data, following the laws of the countries where we operate.
This Privacy Policy applies to all our websites, mobile apps, marketing and advertising on all platforms, and any other services we offer (together called the “Services”).
Playtonz is the data controller for any personal information we hold about you when you use our Services. This means we decide how your personal data is used and are responsible for it. By agreeing to this Terms of Service & Privacy Policy, you accept that your personal data will be handled to deliver the Services when you download our apps, access or play our games, or engage with any of our Services.
Data You Provide Directly
To deliver our Services, Playtonz collects information that mostly comes directly from you when you download, access, or play our games or use our Services. This includes:
Details you share with our customer support team: When you reach out to us for help, we may ask for your username, email, and any other details you provide, such as Game ID, team/club name, device brand and model, advertising ID, purchase details, or your device’s language.
Information you enter in the Games: For example, your chosen username.
Feedback and reviews you give about our Services.
This information helps us operate and enhance our games and Services, personalize in-game offers, verify purchases, and for other reasons described in this policy.

We also automatically gather certain types of information to run and improve our Services, including:

Purchase Information: Details about your spending habits in the game, such as purchases made with real or virtual currency and received virtual items.
Data from Third Parties
If you log in through a third-party platform like Facebook, Apple Game Center, or Google Sign-In, we may receive information like your screen name, profile info, and friends list, based on your permissions with that third-party platform.

Data Storage
We keep your information for as long as needed to deliver the Services or fulfill the purposes outlined above, unless a longer storage time is required by law, for example to defend legal claims or comply with accounting standards.
Sharing Your Information
We may share your information with the following, under GDPR Sections 6(1)(b), 6(1)(c), and 6(1)(f):
Social networks, as described under “Social Sharing Features.”
Third parties if the law requires us to share your data, or during business negotiations like a merger, asset sale, or acquisition.
Authorities if we believe your actions violate our policies, or if disclosure is needed to protect Playtonz’s or others’ rights, property, or safety.
Other players, for features like leaderboards if you log in with a third-party account.
With your consent (GDPR Section 6(1)(a)), we may also share device identifiers with ad networks so they can show you targeted ads in the Services.
Social Sharing
Some Services include social sharing tools (like Facebook’s “Like” or “Share” buttons) that let you share your in-game actions. You must be at least the minimum legal age in your country to use these features. How much you share depends on your privacy settings with the social network providing the feature.
Children
You must be 13 years or older to use our Services, or 16+ in the European Economic Area. By agreeing to this Privacy Policy and using our Services, you confirm that you meet the minimum age requirement. If you have questions about how we handle children’s data, please email us at officialplaytonz@gmail.com.
Security
Protecting your data is important to us. However, no method of online transfer or storage is fully secure. We use industry-standard measures to protect your data but cannot guarantee its complete security.
Push Notifications
If you consent, we may send push notifications to your device with game updates, promotions, and other news. You can turn these notifications off through your device settings.
Payments
For any paid Services, we work with third-party payment processors. We do not store or process your payment card details directly — that is handled by our payment partners. They comply with PCI-DSS standards for secure payment handling.
Our payment partners are:
Apple Store In-App Payments: Apple Privacy Policy
Google Play In-App Payments: Google Privacy Policy
You agree to pay any fees and taxes incurred on your account. Playtonz may change prices at any time. You understand that unused virtual items do not entitle you to a refund if your account is closed, whether by you or by us.
