**Effective Date:** September 17, 2026
**Last Updated:** September 17, 2026
Welcome to **SkyNova** ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and providing a safe, enjoyable gaming experience. This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle information when you download, install, and play the **SkyNova** mobile application.
---
### 1. Information Collection and Use
**SkyNova** is designed with user privacy as a top priority:
- **No Personal Identifiable Information (PII) Collected:** We do not collect, store, transmit, or ask for personal details such as your real name, email address, phone number, physical address, or contact list.
- **Local Data Storage:** All gameplay progress, high scores, unlocked ball skins, background themes, and in-game energy balances are stored locally on your device using Android SQLite Local Database (`DatabaseHelper`). This data remains on your physical device and is not uploaded to remote servers.
---
### 2. In-App Virtual Currency & Consumable Purchases
- **Virtual Energy & Skins:** SkyNova features an in-game virtual economy (Energy ⚡, Stars ⭐, Ball Skins, and Environment Themes).
- **Instant Consumption & Final Sale:** Virtual energy and unlocked digital goods are credited immediately to your local account balance upon purchase. Under Google Play Billing Guidelines (§4.2), virtual goods consumed immediately upon delivery are final sales and **non-refundable**.
- **Fraud Prevention & Anti-Cheat:** To protect users against unauthorized transactions, SkyNova utilizes cryptographically signed Order IDs (`GPA.xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxx`) and payload verification checksums. Fake purchases, token replay attacks, or modified binary signatures will be automatically blocked.

### 3. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)
SkyNova is family-friendly and suitable for players of all ages:
- We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 in certain jurisdictions).
- The game does not contain direct social messaging, unmoderated user chat rooms, or public profile disclosures.
---
### 4. Device Permissions
SkyNova requests minimal Android permissions necessary strictly for gameplay functionality:
- **Audio Output & Vibration:** For synthesized jump sound effects, power-up audio, and ambient music feedback.
- **Screen Awake (`FLAG_KEEP_SCREEN_ON`):** Prevents the screen from dimming or going to sleep during active gameplay flights.
---
### 5. Third-Party Services and Analytics
- SkyNova does not utilize third-party tracking software, advertising identifiers (GAID), or cross-app behavioural tracking networks.
- If Google Play Services (such as Google Play Games Leaderboards or Billing APIs) are utilized, their processing is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy: [https://policies.google.com/privacy](https://policies.google.com/privacy).

### 6. Security
We take reasonable technical measures to secure your local game data against tampering, fraud, or loss. However, please note that clearing application data, uninstalling the app, or formatting your device will reset locally saved high scores and currency balances.

### 7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. You are advised to review this policy periodically for any updates.
