1. Summary
#- The App does not require you to create a Playforge Games account.
- We do not ask you in the App to provide your name, postal address, phone number, contacts, photos, precise location, or payment-card details.
- Game progress and settings are stored locally on your device.
- The App uses third-party services for advertising, consent management, and in-app purchases. Those services automatically process certain device, usage, diagnostic, advertising, location, and transaction information as described below.
2. Information Processed
#2.1 Game data stored locally
The App stores gameplay information on your device, such as:
- game progress, scores, records, coins, unlocked content, and selected character;
- game settings and preferences, including audio, graphics, controls, and tutorial status;
- app launch count, ad timing/status, and locally granted purchase or rewarded-ad benefits.
Playforge Games does not operate a user-account server for this locally stored data. Except where a purchase, advertisement, consent choice, or related service requires communication with a third-party provider as described below, this gameplay data remains on your device.
2.2 Advertising and consent data
The App uses Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) to display banner, interstitial, rewarded, and app-open advertisements, and Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP) to request and manage privacy choices where required.
Google Mobile Ads may automatically collect and share:
- IP address, which may be used to estimate general or approximate location;
- device and account identifiers, such as the Android Advertising ID, App Set ID, and other applicable identifiers;
- product and app interactions, such as app launches, taps, ad impressions, ad clicks, and video views;
- diagnostic and performance information, such as launch time, crashes, hangs, and energy usage;
- consent status and privacy choices needed to determine which ads may be requested.
This information is processed to provide and measure ads, prevent fraud and abuse, perform analytics and diagnostics, comply with privacy choices, and improve service performance. Depending on your region, age, consent choices, and device settings, ads may be personalized or non-personalized.
2.3 In-app purchase data
The App offers purchases of digital in-game items through Google Play Billing and uses Unity In-App Purchasing (Unity IAP) to connect the App with the store.
Google Play and Unity may process information such as:
- product identifiers, purchase status, purchase history, order or transaction identifiers, receipts, and related billing records;
- player, installation, session, device, and other service identifiers;
- device information, country, and approximate location;
- app diagnostics, crash data, and performance information;
- an email address or other account information if made available to the purchase provider through the platform or a service you choose to use.
This information is used to initiate, validate, fulfill, restore, confirm, and record purchases; provide purchased content; perform analytics; maintain service functionality; comply with financial or legal obligations; and detect fraud or abuse.
Google Play processes the payment at the platform level. Playforge Games does not receive or store your full credit-card, debit-card, or bank-account number.
2.4 Information you send to us
If you contact us at sifreliders@gmail.com for support, a privacy request, or another inquiry, we may receive your email address, the contents of your message, and any information you voluntarily include. We use this information to respond, investigate problems, fulfill valid requests, maintain appropriate records, and protect the App and its users.
3. Information We Do Not Request
#The App does not request access to your precise GPS location, contacts, calendar, photos, videos, microphone recordings, camera, text messages, health information, or files and documents for its gameplay features.
4. How We Use Information
#Information is processed as necessary to:
- operate the App and save local gameplay progress;
- display, deliver, personalize where permitted, and measure advertisements;
- provide rewarded-ad benefits;
- manage consent and privacy choices;
- process and fulfill in-app purchases;
- maintain, debug, secure, and improve the App and integrated services;
- detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, abuse, security incidents, and policy violations;
- respond to support and privacy inquiries; and
- comply with applicable laws, lawful requests, tax, accounting, and regulatory obligations.
Where applicable law requires a legal basis, processing may rely on performance of a contract, your consent, compliance with legal obligations, or legitimate interests such as operating, securing, and improving the App. You may withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent. Withdrawal does not affect processing already performed lawfully.
5. When Information Is Disclosed
#Information may be disclosed to:
- Google LLC, for Google Mobile Ads, UMP consent management, Google Play, and Google Play Billing. See Google’s Privacy Policy and How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
- Unity Technologies, for Unity IAP and its required service dependencies. See Unity’s Privacy Policy.
- vendors or professional advisers that help us operate, secure, support, or comply with legal requirements for the App, subject to appropriate obligations;
- courts, regulators, law enforcement, or other parties when reasonably necessary to comply with law, enforce rights, protect users, prevent harm or fraud, or respond to valid legal process; and
- a successor or relevant counterparty in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or transfer of the App or business, subject to applicable law and notice requirements.
We do not sell personal and sensitive user data for monetary consideration. Some privacy laws may define personalized advertising disclosures as a “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising.” Where those laws apply, you can exercise the choices described below.
6. Your Privacy Choices and Rights
#Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection, to withdraw consent, or to appeal a decision concerning personal data. These rights may be subject to legal exceptions and identity verification.
You can also:
- open the App’s Privacy option to review or change available advertising privacy choices;
- manage ad personalization in Google’s My Ad Center;
- reset or delete the Android Advertising ID through your device’s privacy or ads settings;
- clear the App’s storage or uninstall the App to remove locally stored gameplay data; and
- use Google Play’s purchase-management and support tools for store transactions.
The App does not create a Playforge Games account, so there is no in-App account to delete.
To submit a privacy request to Playforge Games, email sifreliders@gmail.com. Include “Star Animals Privacy Request” in the subject line and identify the right you wish to exercise. Please do not send passwords or full payment-card details.
Requests concerning data for which Google or Unity acts as an independent controller may need to be submitted directly through that provider’s privacy controls or contact methods.
7. Data Retention and Deletion
#- Local gameplay data remains on your device until you clear the App’s storage, reset the device, or uninstall the App.
- Support and privacy correspondence is retained only as long as reasonably necessary to respond, keep appropriate records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and meet legal obligations.
- Purchase records may be retained as required to fulfill purchases, maintain financial records, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, and comply with tax, accounting, store, and legal requirements.
- Google retains information according to its privacy policy, service settings, and legal obligations.
- Unity states that Unity IAP service logs are generally retained for 90 days and that certain orders and service records may remain until the applicable controller or data subject requests deletion, subject to legal requirements.
When information is no longer reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, it is deleted, anonymized, or retained only where required or permitted by law. Data may remain for a limited period in secure backups before deletion through normal backup cycles.
8. Children’s Privacy
#The App is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly ask children to submit names, email addresses, or other direct contact information through the App.
If you are under the age at which you may consent to data processing in your country, use the App only with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian. Parents or guardians who believe a child has provided personal information contrary to this Policy may contact us at sifreliders@gmail.com. We will investigate and take appropriate steps, including deletion where required.
9. International Data Transfers
#Google, Unity, and other providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live. Those countries may have different data-protection laws. Where required, providers and Playforge Games use recognized safeguards for international transfers.
10. Security
#We and our providers use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information. Integrated providers state that covered data is encrypted in transit. No storage or transmission method is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
11. Third-Party Content and Links
#Advertisements or external links may lead to services operated by third parties. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and Playforge Games is not responsible for those independent services.
12. Changes to This Privacy Policy
#We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes to the App, third-party services, legal requirements, or data practices. The updated version will be posted at the same public location with a revised effective date. Where required by law, we will provide additional notice or obtain consent.
