At Dash & Dodge, your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how the Dash & Dodge game application (the "App") collects, uses, and protects your information. By playing Dash & Dodge, you agree to the practices outlined in this policy.

What Information We Collect

To provide and improve your gaming experience in Dash & Dodge, we gather limited types of information.

Device Information: We automatically collect basic data about your device, such as its type, operating system version, unique identifiers (like device ID or advertising ID), screen resolution, and language settings. This helps us ensure the App runs smoothly on your device and optimize performance.

Gameplay Data: We collect information about your game progression, high scores, achievements, levels played, and session duration. This data is vital for tracking your progress, balancing the game, and improving the overall player experience.

Advertising Identifiers: We use advertising identifiers (like your Android Advertising ID or IDFA) to help facilitate personalized advertisements within the App. These identifiers also allow us to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and support the App's free-to-play model.

Analytics and Logs: Our systems record basic technical information such as your app version, timestamps of your activities, and crash reports. We may also use third-party analytics services to gather aggregated, non-personally identifiable data about how the App is used. This helps us understand user behavior trends and identify areas for improvement.

In-App Purchase Information (If Applicable): If Dash & Dodge includes in-app purchases (e.g., virtual currency, character skins), we process information related to these transactions to ensure you receive your purchased items. We do not directly collect or store your payment card details.

How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is used to power, maintain, and enhance your Dash & Dodge gaming experience.

App Operation and Improvement: We use your data to ensure the game functions correctly, provide you with its dodging and dashing features, and deliver updates. Analyzing gameplay data helps us understand what works, balance game difficulty, and fix issues.

Personalized Advertising: Advertising data allows us to show you relevant advertisements within the App, which helps support the App's ongoing development and keeps it free for you to enjoy.

Troubleshooting and Support: Collected data assists us in diagnosing and resolving any technical issues or bugs you might encounter, ensuring a stable and reliable game experience.

Understanding Our Players: Aggregated and anonymized data gives us insights into general player trends, which is valuable for future game design and feature development.

Processing In-App Purchases: If you make purchases, we use relevant information to fulfill those transactions and provide you with the items you've bought.

When Information is Shared

Your privacy is important to us. We only share information under specific, limited circumstances, typically to support game functionality and monetization.

Advertising Partners: We may share your advertising identifiers and aggregated, anonymous usage data with advertising networks. This enables them to serve personalized ads within the App and helps us evaluate the success of our advertising efforts.

Analytics Providers: Anonymized and aggregated gameplay data may be shared with third-party analytics services. They help us analyze game usage patterns, understand player behavior, and improve the game's design and performance. This shared data does not personally identify you.

Service Providers: We may work with third-party service providers (like hosting providers or crash reporting services) who assist us in operating the App. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and can only use it for the specific services they perform for us.

Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information if legally required to do so by law, court order, or government request. This also applies if we believe it's necessary to protect our rights, property, or the safety of our users or others.

Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of the App's assets, your information may be transferred as part of that business transaction. We will provide notification of any such change in ownership or information use through a prominent notice within the App or via other appropriate means.

Your Choices and Control Over Your Information

You have control over certain aspects of your information within Dash & Dodge.

Advertising Preferences: You can manage how your advertising identifier is used directly through your device settings. Look for options like "Limit Ad Tracking" on iOS or "Opt out of Ads Personalization" on Android. Adjusting these settings may reduce the personalization of ads you see in the App.

Data Access and Deletion: Depending on your location, you may have the right to request access to or deletion of certain personal information we hold about you. To exercise these rights, please refer to the support section within the App or use the official contact channels provided in the App Store/Google Play listing. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.

Data Retention

We retain your information only for as long as necessary to provide the App's services and fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Anonymous and aggregated data may be retained indefinitely for analytical purposes to help us improve our games.

Children's Privacy

Dash & Dodge is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately so we can take steps to remove that information from our systems.

International Data Transfers

Your information may be processed and stored in countries outside your country of residence, which may have different data protection laws. By using the App, you consent to the transfer of your information to these countries. We will take reasonable steps to ensure your information is protected according to this Privacy Policy.

Third-Party Links and Services

The App may contain links or integrations with third-party websites or services (such as embedded ads) that are not operated by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make significant changes, we will notify you by posting the new policy within the App or through other appropriate communication methods. Your continued use of the App after the new policy's effective date signifies your acceptance of the changes.
