Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Northvale Games ("Northvale Games", "we", "us", or "our") handles information in connection with the mobile games and applications we publish (collectively, the "Services"). This policy applies unless a specific Northvale Games product provides a separate privacy notice.
1. Information We May Collect
Depending on the features used in a particular app and the third-party services integrated into that app, we and our service providers may process the following categories of information:
- Device and app information: device model, operating system and version, language, app version, country or region, network type, and similar technical information.
- Identifiers: advertising identifiers, app or installation identifiers, and similar resettable or service-specific identifiers.
- Usage and gameplay information: app launches, sessions, gameplay events, progress, feature interactions, settings, and other in-app activity.
- Advertising information: ad impressions, clicks, rewarded-ad activity, ad performance, and information used for advertising measurement, fraud prevention, frequency control, and—where permitted—personalized advertising.
- Diagnostics: crash logs, performance data, error reports, and other diagnostic information used to improve reliability and security.
- Approximate location: a general country or region may be inferred from information such as an IP address. We do not intentionally collect precise GPS location unless a specific app feature clearly requires it and appropriate notice and permission are provided.
- Communications: if you contact us, we may receive your email address and the information you choose to include in your message.
2. How We Use Information
- providing, operating, maintaining, and improving our Services;
- saving or restoring app settings or game progress where supported;
- understanding gameplay, engagement, performance, and product quality;
- displaying, measuring, limiting, and improving advertising;
- detecting fraud, abuse, security incidents, and technical problems;
- responding to support requests and user inquiries;
- complying with applicable legal obligations and enforcing our rights.
3. Advertising, Analytics, and Other Service Providers
Our apps may use third-party advertising, mediation, analytics, crash-reporting, attribution, platform, and infrastructure services. These providers may process information on our behalf or, where applicable, for their own purposes under their own privacy policies.
The exact providers and data practices can vary by app, app version, platform, country, and enabled features. Northvale Games is responsible for ensuring that the disclosures made in the applicable Google Play Data safety section remain consistent with the actual behavior of the app and its integrated SDKs.
Where required by applicable law or platform policy, we or our service providers will request consent or provide privacy controls before using information for personalized advertising or other purposes that require consent.
4. How We Share Information
- Service providers: with vendors that provide advertising, analytics, attribution, hosting, diagnostics, security, customer support, or other services used to operate the Services.
- Legal and safety reasons: when reasonably necessary to comply with law, legal process, valid governmental requests, protect users, investigate fraud or abuse, or protect our rights and property.
- Business transactions: as part of a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar transaction, subject to applicable law.
- With your direction or consent: when you ask us to share information or otherwise provide consent.
5. Data Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure. Where personal or sensitive information is transmitted over the Internet, we use encrypted connections such as HTTPS when technically applicable. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
6. Data Retention and Deletion
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including operating and improving the Services, maintaining security, resolving disputes, meeting legal obligations, and enforcing agreements. Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the service provider involved.
You may request deletion of personal information that Northvale Games controls by contacting us at qzha9306@gmail.com. Please include the name of the app and enough information for us to understand and process your request. We may need to retain limited information where required by law, for security, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, or other legitimate purposes.
Some information may be controlled directly by a third-party service provider or by the platform provider. In those cases, deletion may also need to be requested through that provider's privacy controls.
7. Accounts
Many Northvale Games titles do not require users to create an account. If a particular app allows account creation, that app will provide the account-deletion options required by applicable platform policies and law, and associated user data will be handled in accordance with the applicable deletion requirements.
8. Children's Privacy
Unless a particular app is expressly identified as being designed for children, our Services are not directed to children under 13 (or the applicable minimum age required by local law). We do not knowingly request children to provide personal information directly to us.
If we learn that personal information has been collected from a child in a manner that is not permitted by applicable law, we will take appropriate steps to delete or otherwise handle that information as required. Parents or guardians may contact us using the email address below.
9. International Processing
Our service providers may process information in countries other than the country in which you live. Where required, we take appropriate steps to ensure that such processing is subject to applicable legal safeguards.
10. Your Choices and Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal information, such as rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing. You may also be able to reset your device advertising identifier or adjust advertising and privacy settings through your device or platform settings.
To submit a privacy request, contact us at qzha9306@gmail.com.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above. Material changes may also be communicated through the applicable app or other appropriate means where required.
