01Overview
Game Arena Studios ("we", "us", or "our") develops and publishes mobile games for Android. This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you use our games, how that information is used, and the types of third parties it is shared with.
By downloading, installing, or playing our games, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with it, please do not use our games.
02Apps Covered
This Privacy Policy applies to the following apps published by Game Arena Studios on Google Play, and to any future apps that link to this page:
03Information We Collect
3.1 Information you provide to us
Our games do not offer accounts, logins, chat, or any form where you enter personal information. We do not directly collect personally identifiable information such as your name, email address, phone number, or postal address. If you choose to contact us by email, we will receive your email address and the contents of your message, which we use only to respond to you.
3.2 Information collected automatically by third-party SDKs
Our games integrate the Google Mobile Ads SDK (Google AdMob). When ads are requested or displayed, the SDK may automatically collect:
| Data type | Examples | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Device or other identifiers | Android Advertising ID, app set ID | Advertising, analytics, fraud prevention |
| Approximate location | Coarse location derived from IP address | Serving geographically relevant ads, regulatory compliance |
| App interactions | App launches, taps, ad views and clicks, video ad completion | Advertising, analytics, ad measurement |
| Diagnostics | Crash logs, SDK performance data | Maintaining and improving ad delivery |
| Device & network info | Device model, OS version, language, screen size, carrier, connection type, IP address | Ad delivery and compatibility, fraud prevention |
3.3 Information stored only on your device
Game progress, scores, unlocked items, and settings (such as sound preferences) are stored locally on your device. This data is not transmitted to us and is deleted when you uninstall the game.
3.4 Information we do not collect
- Precise (GPS) location
- Contacts, call logs, SMS, photos, videos, audio, or files
- Financial or payment information
- Health, fitness, or other sensitive personal information
04How We Use Information
Information collected through our games is used to:
- Display advertisements that keep our games free to play;
- Personalize ads, where you have given consent where legally required;
- Measure ad performance and understand how our games are used;
- Detect, prevent, and investigate fraud, abuse, and security issues;
- Diagnose technical problems and improve stability and performance;
- Comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests;
- Respond to your support requests if you contact us.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for purposes unrelated to those described above.
05Third Parties & Sharing
We share or make data available only to the following types of parties:
- Advertising partners — Google AdMob (Google LLC) collects and processes the data described above to serve and measure ads. Google's use of this data is governed by its own policies:
- Platform providers — Google Play distributes our games and may collect data under the Google Privacy Policy (for example, install statistics and crash reports shared with developers in aggregated form).
- Legal and safety — authorities or other parties when required by law, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Game Arena Studios, our users, or others.
- Business transfers — a successor entity in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this Privacy Policy.
06Advertising & Your Choices
Consent
Where required by law (for example, for users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland), our games ask for your consent before personalized ads are shown, using Google's User Messaging Platform. If you decline, you may still see non-personalized ads, which are based on contextual information such as the game you are playing and your general location.
Opting out of personalized ads
You can control or reset your Advertising ID at any time on your Android device:
- Open Settings → Privacy → Ads (or Settings → Google → Ads, depending on your device);
- Select Delete advertising ID or Reset advertising ID.
You can also manage ad personalization at My Ad Center. Opting out does not stop ads from appearing; ads will simply be less relevant to you.
07Device Permissions
Our games request only the permissions needed to function and display ads:
- Internet access (
INTERNET) — to load and display ads; - Network state (
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE) — to check connectivity before requesting ads; - Advertising ID (
AD_ID) — used by the Google Mobile Ads SDK as described above.
Our games do not request access to your camera, microphone, contacts, storage, or precise location.
08Data Retention & Deletion
- On-device game data is kept until you clear the app's data or uninstall the game.
- Data collected by Google AdMob is retained according to Google's data retention policies.
- Support emails are kept only as long as needed to resolve your request, and then deleted.
Because we do not maintain user accounts or hold personal data on our own servers, there is no account to delete. To stop all data collection, uninstall the game. You may also reset or delete your Advertising ID as described above, or contact us with any deletion request and we will assist you.
09Security
Data transmitted by the Google Mobile Ads SDK is encrypted in transit using industry-standard protocols (HTTPS/TLS). We take reasonable measures to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
10Children's Privacy
Our games are intended for a general audience and are not directed to children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided personal information through our games, please contact us and we will take steps to delete such information.
11Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information held about you;
- Request correction or deletion of your personal information;
- Object to or restrict certain processing, including personalized advertising;
- Withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent;
- Data portability;
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
EEA/UK users (GDPR): we rely on your consent for personalized advertising and on our legitimate interests for non-personalized advertising, security, and fraud prevention.
California users (CCPA/CPRA): we do not sell personal information. You may opt out of cross-context behavioral advertising by deleting or resetting your Advertising ID as described above.
To exercise any of these rights, please email us. Since we do not hold personal data on our own servers, many requests can be fulfilled directly through Google's controls.
12International Data Transfers
Our advertising partner may process information in countries other than your own, including the United States, where data protection laws may differ. Such transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards, such as the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission.
13Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example when we add new features or third-party services. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
