Effective Date: 2025-12-05
This Privacy Policy explains how JuWi Games collects, uses, and protects information in relation to our mobile application, Sint Merge.
We take your privacy seriously, especially regarding our younger users. This App is designed to be safe for children and families.
We do not knowingly collect, store, or share any personally identifiable information (PII) such as names, physical addresses, or phone numbers from our users.
The App operates primarily with data stored locally on your device, with the exception of the third-party services listed in this policy (Google Play Games Services and Unity LevelPlay/IronSource) which are configured for privacy compliance.
To function correctly, the App requires specific permissions. Here is why we request them:
Internet & Network State (android.permission.INTERNET, android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE): Required to load game assets, display appropriate advertisements, and connect to Google Play Services.
Billing (com.android.vending.BILLING, com.android.vending.CHECK_LICENSE): Used to process In-App Purchases through the Google Play Store. We do not have access to your credit card or payment details; this is handled entirely by Google.
Ad Services (com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID, ACCESS_ADSERVICES_ATTRIBUTION, ACCESS_ADSERVICES_TOPICS): These are standard Android permissions for advertising frameworks. However, we have configured our ad providers to opt-out of personalized tracking, specifically for child-directed audiences.
System Permissions (FOREGROUND_SERVICE, RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED, WAKE_LOCK): These are used to ensure the game runs smoothly, prevents the screen from sleeping during gameplay, and manages game resources efficiently.
We are committed to complying with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the Google Play Families Policy.
Upon launching the App, users are presented with an Age Gate asking for their birthday. This data is not stored on our servers; it is processed locally on the device to determine appropriate settings:
Users Under 9:
Google Play Games Services (GPGS) login is disabled.
Highscore leaderboards are disabled.
Advertising is strictly contextual and not personalized.
Users 9 and Older:
Google Play Games Services features are enabled.
We use Unity LevelPlay (IronSource) and Unity Ads to display advertisements. We have strictly configured these services to ensure safety for children:
COPPA Compliance: The ad network is configured with is_child_directed = true.
No Tracking: We have set is_deviceid_optout = true, meaning advertising IDs are not used to build user profiles for behavioral targeting.
Content Filtering: We have blocked ad categories unsuitable for children, including but not limited to:
Alcoholic Beverages
Gambling, Casino, and Lottery
Dating and Social Media
Politics, Law, and Government
Health, Medicine, and Personal Finance
Any ads rated 9+
We utilize the following third-party service providers. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies:
Purpose: Authentication, Achievements, and Leaderboards.
Data: If a user (aged 9+) chooses to sign in, their Google public profile ID and gameplay data are handled by Google.
Privacy Policy: Google Privacy Policy
Purpose: Serving advertisements.
Data: While standard permissions exist, we have disabled behavioral targeting. Ads shown are contextual (based on the current game context) rather than interest-based.
Privacy Policy: Unity Ads Privacy Policy and IronSource Mobile Privacy Policy
Our App allows you to purchase virtual items using real money. These transactions are processed by the Google Play Store. We do not process or store your payment information.
We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information. However, please remember that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
