Gold Ingot Games develops Road to Victory: Zombie War (the “game”). This policy explains how information is handled when you play the game, use its optional online features, or contact us.
Privacy contact: **goldingotgames@gmail.com**
## Information stored on your device
The game stores campaign progress, coins, upgrades, prestige, gameplay statistics, audio preferences and purchase-entitlement records on your device. There is no separate Gold Ingot Games account or account-based cloud backup. The game does not upload your complete campaign save to us.
Selected lifetime statistics—zombies killed and levels completed—are sent to Google Play Games when its leaderboard features are active. Other local statistics, such as in-game distance travelled, are game measurements, not measurements of your physical movements or location.
## Advertising and consent
The Android game uses Google AdMob for interstitial and optional rewarded advertisements. Google's advertising SDK collects and shares information including IP addresses, approximate location inferred from IP addresses, advertising and other device/app identifiers, app and advertising interactions, and diagnostic/performance information. These are used for advertising, ad measurement, analytics and fraud prevention.
The game does not request precise GPS location for gameplay. Advertising data collection can occur even though campaign progress is saved locally.
Where applicable, Google's consent tools present privacy choices. You can revisit the game's Privacy Options when available and use Android's advertising-ID controls. Refusing personalised advertisements does not necessarily stop all data processing needed for limited or non-personalised ads, diagnostics or fraud prevention.
The Remove Ads purchase disables future interstitial and rewarded ad loading and display in the game. It does not delete information previously processed by advertising services or stop processing needed for purchases or Play Games features.
More information: [Google Privacy Policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy) and [how Google uses information from apps using its services](https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites).
## Optional purchases
Google Play processes payments for coin packs and Remove Ads. Gold Ingot Games does not receive your full payment-card number, bank-account details or Google account password.
To verify and deliver purchases, the game sends a product identifier, purchase token and randomly generated installation identifier to our purchase-verification service. The service checks the purchase with Google Play. It processes purchase status and quantity, and stores hashed consumable purchase-token records linked to the installation identifier to prevent duplicate claims. Local purchase records help prevent duplicate delivery and support restoration of eligible purchases.
Purchases are optional. Clearing app storage or uninstalling can remove local progress and coins, including purchased coins. Consumed coin packs are not restored as new coins. Remove Ads can be restored using the same eligible Google Play account.
## Google Play Games and leaderboards
The game uses Google Play Games Services for leaderboard features. When enabled, Google may authenticate your Play Games profile automatically according to your Google settings. You can play the campaign without participating in Play Games.
Google processes your player identity, gamer profile information, submitted scores and service analytics/diagnostics. The game submits lifetime zombie-kill and level-completion totals. Your gamer name, avatar and scores may be visible to others according to Google's profile and leaderboard settings. This does not create a separate Gold Ingot Games account.
You can manage profile visibility, game sign-in settings and deletion of Google-held game data through Google Play Games and your Google account. Removing local game progress does not automatically delete leaderboard records.

## Support messages
If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you include. We use this information to answer your request, investigate problems and handle privacy or purchase inquiries. Please do not send passwords, payment-card details or private authentication tokens.
## Why information is used and who receives it
Information is used to operate the game, save progress, provide leaderboards, deliver and verify purchases, display and measure advertisements, diagnose technical problems, respond to support requests and prevent fraud.
Recipients include Google for AdMob, Play Billing and Play Games; providers operating our purchase-verification hosting; and email-service providers handling correspondence. Providers processing information on our behalf are used for operating these services. Google also processes information under its own applicable terms and privacy policies. Information may be disclosed where required by law or necessary to address fraud or protect rights.
Depending on the processing and applicable law, the basis for processing may be providing a service you request, consent, legitimate interests such as security and support, or legal obligations. Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it using the relevant controls; withdrawal does not undo processing that occurred beforehand.
## Retention and deletion
Local game information remains until it is reset, cleared or removed from the device. Reset Progress does not necessarily remove purchase records maintained separately to prevent duplicate delivery. Clearing the application's storage removes its local data, but does not remove records held by our verification service or Google.
The purchase-verification system does not currently have a scheduled automatic deletion period. Receipt hashes and associated installation identifiers are retained for purchase integrity and duplicate-claim prevention. Google retains information under its own policies and account controls. We retain support correspondence as needed to address the inquiry and related disputes or legal obligations. No automatic deletion within 90 days is promised.
For questions or requests concerning access, correction or deletion of information held by Gold Ingot Games, contact **goldingotgames@gmail.com** with the subject “Road to Victory privacy request.” Describe the request and, where relevant, provide the Google Play order reference rather than payment credentials. We may need information to verify the request and locate the relevant records. Some information may need to be retained for fraud prevention, purchase integrity or applicable legal obligations. There is no automatic in-game process that deletes records across all services.
Requests about Google accounts, advertising profiles or Google-held Play Games data can also be made using Google's privacy controls. Deleting data from one service does not automatically delete it from other services.
## Security and international processing
The game's online service connections use HTTPS/TLS encryption. Private purchase-verification credentials belong on the server, not in the game. No storage or transmission method can guarantee absolute security.
Google and other service providers may process information in countries outside your country of residence. Their applicable privacy terms describe processing locations and transfer safeguards. Contact us for information about providers used for data we control.
## Your rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, erase or obtain a copy of personal information, restrict or object to processing, withdraw consent, and complain to your local data-protection authority. Contact **goldingotgames@gmail.com** to raise a request concerning information we control.
## Younger players
The game's intended audience is teenagers aged 13 and over and adults; it is not directed at children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information directly to Gold Ingot Games, contact us so we can investigate. Applicable regional requirements and the game's store content rating still apply.
## Changes and contact
We may update this policy when the game or its data practices change. The date above identifies the latest revision. Significant changes will be communicated as required by applicable law.
