1. Introduction
Byte Tale Coders (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is an independent game studio that develops and operates mobile games, including Brawl Dinos and other titles we may release from time to time (each an “App,” and together the “Apps”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Apps, including advertising served via Google AdMob and in-app purchases processed through Unity In-App Purchasing (Unity IAP). By downloading or using any of our Apps, you agree to the terms of this Policy.
2. Information We Collect
We may collect and process the following categories of information:
A. Personal Data
- Identifiers: Device identifiers (such as your Advertising ID) and IP address.
- Transaction & Financial: In-app purchase transaction data (purchase verification, order ID) and billing information passed through the app store. We do not collect or store your full payment card details.
B. Usage & Analytics Data
- Gameplay data (for example, levels completed and session length).
- Crash logs and performance metrics.
C. Advertising Data
- Ad interactions (impressions and clicks).
- Demographic and interest data inferred by ad networks (such as age range and interests), used solely for ad delivery and measurement.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected data to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve our Apps' functionality and user experience.
- Serve ads and measure ad performance via Google AdMob.
- Process in-app purchases and provide purchase receipts via Unity IAP.
- Detect, prevent, and address technical issues and fraud.
- Comply with our legal obligations.
4. Advertising via Google AdMob
Our Apps use Google AdMob to display ads. AdMob may collect information about your device and ad interactions in order to deliver and measure advertising. For details on AdMob's data practices, please review Google's policy at support.google.com/admob/answer/6128543. You can typically limit ad personalization through your device settings (for example, by resetting or opting out of your Advertising ID).
5. In-App Purchases via Unity IAP
We enable purchases of virtual goods through Unity In-App Purchasing. Transaction and order information is processed by Unity and by the platform's store (such as Google Play). We do not store your payment credentials. For Unity's data practices, please see unity.com/legal/privacy-policy.
6. Third-Party Services
We may use third-party analytics and support services that collect, monitor, and analyze usage data to help us operate and improve our Apps. Each third party adheres to its own privacy policy; we encourage you to review their respective websites for details on how they handle your information.
7. Data Retention
We retain your data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy or as required by applicable law. When your data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymize it.
8. Security
We implement commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. Children's Privacy
Our Apps are intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe we may have inadvertently collected such data, please contact us at the address below and we will take steps to delete it.
10. International Data Transfers
Your data may be transferred to — and processed in — countries other than your own. Those countries may have different data protection laws. Where this occurs, we take steps to ensure your data remains protected in accordance with this Policy.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will post the revised Policy on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.
