This Privacy Policy explains how [BIG FISHLAB] ("we", "us", or "our") manages your data and privacy when you download, install, and play the mobile game "Hide & Seek: Color Hunters" ("the Application", "the Game").
We value your privacy. Our core philosophy is straightforward: this game is built so that your game progress is stored directly on your personal device without requiring an account, and network access is utilized solely for gameplay validation and optional supporting ads.
1. INFORMATION COLLECTED AND HOW IT IS USED
A. Data Stored Locally on Your Device:
This game does not require account registration, login credentials, email addresses, or phone numbers. All your gameplay progress is stored locally in your device's private app storage, including:
- Earned game coins from winning rounds.
- Unlocked 3D arena statuses and completed challenges.
- Owned and equipped character costume cosmetics.
- Audio preferences (music, sound effects) and motion settings.
- Arena trial tickets, reward receipts, and saved active round sessions for seamless resuming.
- Optional daily reminder schedule preferences.
B. Network Data and Third-Party SDKs:
An active internet connection is required to play rounds and load supporting advertisements. The game integrates official Google SDKs:
- Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob) version 25.4.0
- Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) SDK version 4.0.0
Through the Google Mobile Ads SDK, Google may collect and process encrypted technical data (via HTTPS/TLS) for ad serving, measurement, analytics, and fraud prevention purposes. This data may include:
- IP Address (used to derive approximate general location such as city or country).
- Technical device identifiers, such as Google Play Services Advertising ID (AD_ID) and App Set ID.
- Diagnostic logs, ad loading performance metrics, and user ad interactions.
For more details on how Google processes user data, please consult Google's Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy and Google Mobile Ads Play Data Disclosure at https://developers.google.com/admob/android/privacy/play-data-disclosure.
2. DEVICE PERMISSIONS USED
We only request permissions strictly necessary for game functionality:
- INTERNET: Required to verify network connectivity and serve rewarded video ads and post-round interstitial ads.
- ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Used by Android's connectivity manager to ensure a valid internet connection before starting a round.
- POST_NOTIFICATIONS (Android 13+): Requested only if you voluntarily opt in to the "Daily Play Reminder" feature in Settings. This is entirely optional (maximum once per day) and can be turned off at any time. Playing the game never requires this permission.
- RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: Used to reschedule your local daily reminder window after your device reboots.
We DO NOT request access to contacts, camera, microphone, precise GPS location, external file storage, or any sensitive personal data.
3. AD PRIVACY CHOICES AND UMP CONSENT
We integrate Google's certified User Messaging Platform (UMP) to ensure full compliance with regional privacy frameworks (such as the EEA, UK, and Switzerland):
- A consent dialog is presented to users when legally required.
- You can freely choose between personalized and non-personalized advertising options.
- You can review or modify your consent settings at any time by tapping "Ad privacy choices" in the game Settings.
- You may also reset or manage your Advertising ID through your Android device settings (Settings -> Google -> Ads).
4. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY
Hide & Seek: Color Hunters is intended for players aged 13 and older. We provide an optional age band selector:
- If a user specifies an age under 13, ad requests are disabled completely and no advertising identifiers are processed.
- For players aged 13–15, conservative under-age-of-consent protections are applied.
- All ad content in the game is restricted to a maximum PG rating suitable for family audiences.
5. DATA RETENTION AND DELETION
Because all game data resides on your device:
- You retain complete ownership and control over your progress.
- To permanently delete all saved progress and game data, navigate to Android Settings -> Apps -> Hide & Seek: Color Hunters -> Storage -> Clear Data / Clear Storage, or simply uninstall the game.
- Because no cloud game accounts exist, we do not hold your user profile on remote game servers; hence, no web-based account deletion request is required.
6. SECURITY
Technical communications handled by Google SDKs are encrypted in transit using industry-standard TLS/HTTPS protocols. Local data is written atomically to private application sandbox files that cannot be accessed by other applications under normal operating conditions.
7. POLICY UPDATES
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect product updates or evolving regulatory standards. The current effective date will always appear at the top of this document.
