Privacy Policy

Last Updated: August 28, 2025
Effective Date: June 22, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how Muhammad Shahmeer ("I", "my", or "me"), located at [Your Location - e.g., Pakistan, if you want to be specific, or omit if you prefer a broader statement], collects, uses, and discloses information when you use my mobile games ("App" or "Apps") available on the Apple App Store.

I am committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data in an open and transparent manner. By using my Apps, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information I Collect

While I, Muhammad Shahmeer, do not directly collect personal identifying information from you, my Apps utilize third-party services that may collect data to function correctly, provide services, and display advertisements. This data may include information that could identify you or your device.

Information Collected Automatically (via Third-Party Services):

• Device Information: When you access and use my Apps, third-party services may collect information about your device, including but not limited to:

  • Device type (e.g., iPhone, iPad)

  • Operating system and version (e.g., iOS 17)

  • Unique device identifiers (e.g., IDFA, subject to your consent)

  • IP address

  • Mobile network information

  • Device language settings

  • Time zone

• Usage and Performance Data: My Apps use Firebase, a service provided by Google, for analytics. This helps me understand how users interact with the Apps and identify potential issues. Data collected may include:

  • Game progress and achievements

  • In-game actions and interactions (e.g., button clicks, levels played)

  • Time spent in the App

  • App crashes and performance data

  • Approximate geographical location (derived from IP address)

• Advertising Identifiers: For advertising purposes, third-party advertising partners (like AdMob) may collect unique identifiers associated with your device, such as Apple's Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA). The collection and use of your IDFA for tracking purposes is strictly subject to your consent via Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework.

• In-App Purchase Information: While I do not directly process payment information, Unity In-App Purchase (IAP) services facilitate purchases within the Apps. Transaction details (e.g., item purchased, time of purchase) may be collected by Unity and Apple to process and fulfill your purchases. Your payment information is handled directly by Apple's App Store payment system, and I do not have access to it.

2. How Your Information Is Used

The information collected by the third-party services integrated into my Apps is used for the following purposes:

• To Operate and Improve the Apps: To ensure the Apps function correctly, improve gameplay, fix bugs, and enhance user experience (via Unity and Firebase).

• To Provide and Personalize Advertisements: To display advertisements relevant to your interests through AdMob, subject to your consent under Apple's ATT framework and compliance with GDPR.

• To Analyze App Usage: To understand how users interact with the Apps, identify trends, and make informed decisions about future development and updates (via Firebase Analytics).

• To Process In-App Purchases: To facilitate and confirm your purchases of virtual items or features within the Apps (via Unity IAP and Apple App Store).

• For Communication: If Firebase is used for notifications or other data, it may involve using your device information to send you relevant in-app messages or push notifications, where applicable and with your consent.

• For Security and Fraud Prevention: To protect my Apps and users from fraudulent activity and ensure a secure environment.

3. Sharing and Disclosure of Information

I do not share any directly collected personal information with third parties, as I do not directly collect it. However, the third-party services integrated into my Apps may share or disclose the information they collect in the following ways:

• With Service Providers: Information is shared with third-party service providers (e.g., Google AdMob, Unity Technologies, Google Firebase) who assist in operating my Apps, providing analytics, processing payments, and delivering advertisements. These providers are bound by their own privacy policies and legal obligations.

• For Legal Reasons: Information may be disclosed if required by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court order or government agency).

• Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of my assets, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity.

4. Children's Privacy (Apps for All Ages)

My Apps are designed for and intended for users of all ages. I am committed to complying with applicable children's privacy laws, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in the United States and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union regarding children's data.

• No Direct Personal Information Collection: I do not knowingly collect personal identifying information directly from children under the age of 13 (or relevant age in your jurisdiction) without verifiable parental consent.

• Ad Serving for Children:

  • If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or if my Apps detect that a user is a child, personalized advertising (behavioral targeting) will be disabled. Only contextual, non-personalized ads or no ads will be shown, in compliance with GDPR and other relevant regulations.

  • For users in the United States, my Apps aim to comply with COPPA. If a user is identified as under 13, ad serving will default to non-personalized ads or be restricted in accordance with COPPA requirements.

• Parental Rights: Parents or legal guardians who believe that I (via third-party services) may have inadvertently collected personal information from their child without consent may contact me at muhammadshahmeer0100@gmail.com to request deletion of such information.

5. App Tracking Transparency (ATT) for Apple Users

For users on Apple devices running iOS 14.5 or later, my Apps comply with Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework.

• Your Choice: Before my Apps (via advertising partners like AdMob) access your device's advertising identifier (IDFA) to track you across apps and websites owned by other companies for personalized advertising, you will be presented with a prompt asking for your permission.

• Opt-Out: If you decline permission, or if you have previously opted out of app tracking via your device settings, my Apps will not track your activity for advertising purposes. This means you will still see ads, but they will be less relevant to your interests (contextual ads).

• Managing Consent: You can change your ATT preferences at any time in your device's Privacy Settings under "Tracking."

6. Your Rights (GDPR and Other Data Protection Laws)

Depending on your location, particularly for users in the European Economic Area (EEA) under the GDPR, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data:

• Right to Access: You have the right to request copies of your personal data.

• Right to Rectification: You have the right to request that I correct any information you believe is inaccurate or complete information you believe is incomplete.

• Right to Erasure: You have the right to request that I erase your personal data, under certain conditions.

• Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request that I restrict the processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.

• Right to Object to Processing: You have the right to object to my processing of your personal data, under certain conditions.

• Right to Data Portability: You have the right to request that I transfer the data that I have collected to another organization, or directly to you, under certain conditions.

• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where I rely on your consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact me at muhammadshahmeer0100@gmail.com. Please note that fulfilling some requests may be limited by the nature of the data collected by third-party services and my limited direct access to such data.

7. Data Retention

Third-party services retain the information they collect for varying periods according to their own privacy policies and the purposes for which it was collected. For example, Firebase Analytics data is retained according to Google's data retention policies, and AdMob data is subject to Google's advertising data retention policies.

8. International Data Transfers

The third-party services used in my Apps (AdMob, Unity, Firebase) operate globally. This means that information collected may be stored and processed in any country where these service providers have facilities. By using my Apps, you understand that your information may be transferred to countries outside of your country of residence, which may have different data protection laws than those in your country. These service providers are generally committed to ensuring appropriate safeguards for such transfers (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses, Privacy Shield frameworks where applicable).

9. Security

I strive to use commercially acceptable means of protecting your information. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While I take reasonable measures to protect your data within my Apps, I cannot guarantee its absolute security.

10. Third-Party Websites and Services

My Apps may contain links to third-party websites or services. I am not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these third-party websites or services. I encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites or services you visit.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

I may update my Privacy Policy from time to time. I will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
