This Privacy Policy explains how personal data is collected, used, shared, and protected when you use the mobile game HONICIAN (the “Game”, the “App”). It applies worldwide to all users of the App on Android devices.
The data controller responsible for your personal data is:
For any question or request regarding this policy or your personal data, contact us at the e-mail above.
None. The App has no registration, no login, and no forms. We do not knowingly collect names, e-mail addresses, phone numbers, or contacts.
| Category | Examples | Source / Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Advertising & device identifiers | Google Advertising ID (GAID), device model, OS version, language, coarse/approximate signals, IP address, ad interaction events | Collected by our third-party advertising partners to select, deliver, cap, and measure ads. See Section 5. |
| Remote configuration data | Pseudonymous app instance identifier, application ID (app.honician), IP address | Sent to Google Firebase Remote Config to download game parameters (e.g., gameplay settings). See Section 5. |
| Technical / diagnostic data | Crash and performance signals, general device characteristics | Provided by Google Play services / the game engine to keep the App stable. |
This information is stored locally using the device’s app storage (Android SharedPreferences) and is removed when you uninstall the App or clear its data.
| Purpose | Legal basis (EU/UK GDPR) |
|---|---|
| Show and measure advertising that keeps the App free | Your consent for personalized ads and use of the Advertising ID in the EEA/UK; our and our partners’ legitimate interests for non-personalized ads, fraud prevention, and frequency capping. |
| Load remote game configuration | Legitimate interest in operating and tuning the Game. |
| Keep the App stable and secure (crash/diagnostics) | Legitimate interest in providing a working, secure App. |
| Comply with legal obligations and respond to your requests | Legal obligation / establishment or defense of legal claims. |
The App displays advertising (including rewarded video ads you may choose to watch) through ad mediation. To do this, we integrate the following third-party services, which act as independent controllers or processors of the data they collect and are governed by their own privacy policies:
These partners may collect and process device identifiers (including the Advertising ID), IP address, and information about your interaction with ads in order to deliver and measure advertising and to limit ad fraud. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the independent data practices of these companies; please review their policies for details.
Advertising partners may use your device’s Advertising ID, a resettable identifier provided by the operating system. You can:
We do not sell your personal information for money. Data is shared only:
Note for California residents: some data sharing with advertising partners may be considered “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising under the CCPA/CPRA. See Section 9 for how to opt out.
Our service providers operate globally, and your data (such as device identifiers and IP address) may be processed in countries outside your own, including the United States, which may have different data-protection laws. Where such transfers occur from the EEA/UK, they are protected by appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or an adequacy decision, as implemented by the relevant provider.
You have the right to: access your data; request correction or erasure; restrict or object to processing; data portability; and withdraw consent at any time (without affecting prior processing). You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority — in Italy, the Garante per la protezione dei dati personali (garanteprivacy.it).
You have the right to know what personal information is collected, to request deletion, to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, and to non-discrimination for exercising your rights. To opt out, disable ad personalization on your device (Section 6) or contact us.
Users in other jurisdictions (e.g., Brazil’s LGPD, Canada’s PIPEDA) may have similar rights. Contact us to exercise any applicable right.
To exercise any right, e-mail digregorio.ivan@gmail.com. We may need to verify your request. Because the App uses no account, some requests can only be actioned through the device-level controls described above.
We do not maintain our own user database. Locally stored data (scores, settings) remains on your device until you clear it or uninstall the App. Data collected by advertising and service providers is retained according to their own policies (see Section 5).
Network communications with our configuration and advertising providers use encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS). No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we and our providers take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data.
HONICIAN is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal data or been served personalized advertising, please contact us at digregorio.ivan@gmail.com and we will take appropriate steps, including deleting such data and restricting processing.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example when we add features such as online leaderboards or in-app purchases. The “Last updated” date at the top will change accordingly. Material changes will be made available at this URL and, where appropriate, within the App. Continued use of the App after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
