1. Introduction
At ElOctopusGameStudios, we value your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our mobile games and applications (“Games”).
2. Information We Collect
We may collect the following types of data:
- Email Address – only if you contact us or subscribe to updates.
- Advertising ID – resettable device identifier (e.g., IDFA for iOS, GAID for Android) used for ad tracking.
- Device Information – device type, OS version, app version, language, country, carrier, device ID, etc.
- Location Data – approximate location based on your IP address (city/country level).
- Usage Data – interactions, game performance, crashes, errors (via analytics tools).
We do not collect sensitive data (such as biometrics, passwords, etc.), unless explicitly provided by you.
3. In-App Purchases
We do not collect or store payment information. Purchases are handled by the platform (Apple App Store or Google Play Store), and subject to their privacy policies.
4. Advertising
Our Games may display ads provided by third-party advertising partners such as Google AdMob or Unity Ads. These services may collect:
- Your Advertising ID
- Device information
- Approximate location
- User engagement (clicks, views)
Opt-Out:
You can disable personalized ads in your device settings:
- Android: Settings > Google > Ads > Opt out of Ads Personalization
- iOS: Settings > Privacy > Apple Advertising > Limit Ad Tracking
You will still see ads, but they may be less relevant.
5. Third-Party Services
We use third-party tools and SDKs for analytics, ads, and game functionality. These may include:
- AdMob (by Google): ads and monetization
- Unity Ads: video ads
- Analytics tools: crash reporting and usage analysis
These services may collect personal data under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review them:
6. Children’s Privacy
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of digital consent (13 in the U.S., 16 in the EU). If you believe we have collected such data, please contact us and we will take appropriate action.
7. Data Storage and Retention
We retain data only as long as needed to:
- Provide and improve our services
- Comply with legal obligations
- Prevent fraud and abuse
Once data is no longer necessary, it is securely deleted or anonymized.
8. Security
We use industry-standard security measures (e.g., encrypted transmission) to protect your data. However, no system is 100% secure, and you use our Games at your own risk.
9. Your Rights
Depending on your location (especially if you are in the EU), you have the right to:
- Access your personal data
- Request correction or deletion
- Object to processing
- Withdraw consent
- File a complaint with a data protection authority
To exercise these rights, contact us at: eloctopusgamestudios@gmail.com
10. International Data Transfers
Your data may be processed in countries outside your own, including those without the same data protection laws. We ensure adequate protection through legal mechanisms such as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).
11. Legal Disclosures
We may disclose personal data if required to:
- Comply with the law
- Respond to legal requests (e.g., subpoenas)
