Privacy policy - Prickly pistoleros
Effective Date: 12/09/2025
Developer: Scribbly Scribe Games Ltd
Contact Email: timofei@scribblyscribegames.com
1. Scope
This Privacy Policy explains what information (if any) we collect, how it is used, and your rights as a user. It applies to the mobile application Prickly Pistoleros, available on Android through Google Play.
2. Definitions
-
Personal Data — any information that identifies you as an individual (e.g., name, email address, device ID, payment details).
-
Anonymous / Aggregated Data — information that cannot identify a specific person.
-
IAP (In-App Purchase) — a purchase made inside the app through the app store (Google Play).
3. What We Do Not Collect
Our app does not collect:
-
Names, email addresses, phone numbers, home addresses;
-
Identifiers that directly reveal your identity;
-
Messages, photos, contacts;
-
Payment details (card numbers, CVV, etc.). All transactions are processed securely by Google Play.
⚠️ Note: If we ever introduce third-party services (analytics, ads, multiplayer backends, etc.), we will update this Policy and explain clearly what is collected and why.
4. What Is Stored Locally
Your game progress (levels, achievements) is stored only on your device. These data are used solely to restore your progress and are not sent to us. If you delete the app or clear its data, your progress will be lost unless backed up via your device.
5. Analytics, Ads, and Third-Party SDKs
-
Current status: The app does not use third-party SDKs for analytics or ads.
-
Future changes: If we add such services, we will:
-
List the services (e.g., Firebase, Unity Analytics, AdMob),
-
Explain what data they collect,
-
Link to their privacy policies.
-
6. Cookies and Similar Technologies
Mobile apps do not use browser cookies. We do not use tracking cookies or share data with third parties.
7. Payments and Freemium Model (In-App Purchases)
-
How it works: The game is free to play with full access to multiplayer and side activities. For main progression, higher-level upgrades (weapons, HP) require a one-time purchase. Without this, you can still play, but advancing becomes increasingly difficult.
-
Payment processing: All handled by Google Play. We never see or store your payment details.
-
Prices and currency: Prices are shown in your local currency. They may change over time, but major changes will be announced in release notes or inside the app.
-
Refunds: Refunds are managed by Google Play according to their policies.
-
Accidental purchases: We recommend enabling parental controls or purchase confirmation in Google Play.
8. Data Security
Since we do not store personal data, risks are minimal. Local storage is protected by Android’s built-in security. While we take reasonable steps to ensure security, no system is 100% secure.
9. Data Retention
-
Personal data: Not applicable (we do not collect it).
-
Local progress: Stored on your device as long as the app is installed or until you clear app data.
If you ask us to delete your local data, we will guide you on how to do so (e.g., clearing app storage).
10. Children’s Privacy
If children under 13 (or local age limits) play the game, parents/guardians should enable purchase confirmation and supervise usage. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
11. User Rights and Contact
Users may contact us to:
-
Confirm whether we collect any data (we will reply in writing).
-
Request deletion of locally stored data (we will provide instructions).
-
Ask questions about this Policy.
📧 Email: timofei@scribblyscribegames.com
We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
12. Sharing Data with Third Parties
Currently, we do not share personal data with third parties. If this changes, we will state what is shared, why, and provide links to third-party policies.
13. Security Breach Notifications
If a data breach occurs (unlikely, since no personal data is collected), we will notify users and relevant authorities as required by law.
14. Updates to This Policy
Scribbly Scribe Games, 12.09.2025
We may update this Policy from time to time. Significant updates will be reflected with a new effective date and may be announced in the app or Google Play listing. Users are encouraged to review the Policy regularly.
