1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Pocket Crusade ("we," "our," or "the App") handles data. We are committed to transparency. We do not operate our own servers; all data processing is handled through industry-standard third-party services (Apple, Google, and Unity) to provide gameplay features, analytics, and synchronization.

2. Data Collection & Usage

We collect data solely to improve gameplay and provide essential services. Below is a breakdown of what is collected by our service providers:

A. Firebase Analytics (Google)

• Data Collected: App Instance IDs, device model, OS version, and custom "events" (e.g., finishing a level, opening a menu).

• Purpose: To understand how players interact with the game and to fix bugs.

• Privacy Link: Firebase Privacy and Security

B. Unity Analytics

• Data Collected: Unique installation ID, IP address (for general location like country/city), and session duration.

• Purpose: To optimize game performance and stability.

• Privacy Link: Unity Privacy Policy

C. Apple Game Center & iCloud

• Data Collected: Player ID, nickname, avatar, and game scores (Game Center); game save files (iCloud).

• Purpose: To provide leaderboards, achievements, and cross-device progress syncing.

• Privacy Link: Apple Privacy Policy

D. Apple In-App Purchases (IAP)

• Data Collected: Transaction IDs, purchase history, and product identifiers. We do not see your credit card or financial details; these are handled exclusively by Apple.

• Purpose: To fulfill digital purchases and restore them if you switch devices.

E. Local Notifications

• Data Collected: None.

• Purpose: The App uses local notifications (on-device) to remind you of game events. These are triggered locally and do not involve sending your data to any remote server.

3. Legal Basis for Processing

We process your data based on:

• Contractual Necessity: To provide the game services you use (e.g., iCloud saving).

• Legitimate Interests: To improve the App (e.g., Analytics).

• Consent: Where required by law (e.g., Apple's App Tracking Transparency).

4. Children’s Privacy

Pocket Crusade does not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13 (or 16 in certain jurisdictions). Our third-party SDKs are configured to comply with COPPA and GDPR-K.

5. Your Rights (GDPR & Global Standards)

We believe in data minimization. Because Pocket Crusade does not require a user account and only collects generic, pseudonymous gameplay events (such as "Level Completed"), we do not have the technical means to identify you individually. Your data rights are exercised through the following platform controls:

• Transparency & Access: You can request a summary of the data Apple collects and stores regarding your Apple ID through Apple’s Data and Privacy portal.

• Data Deletion: Since we do not host your data on personal servers, you can delete your local game progress and associated cloud saves by managing your iCloud Storage and Game Center data within your iOS device settings. Deleting the App will also remove all local data from your device.

• Opt-Out of Tracking: You can prevent the collection of analytics and device identifiers by selecting "Ask App Not to Track" when prompted or by adjusting your preferences in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
