1. Overview and Introduction AppsCafeStudio (“we”, “us”, or “our”) respects the privacy of our users of all ages, including children and families. This Privacy Policy explains how information about you is collected, used, disclosed, and safeguarded when you download, install, and play Arrow Escape on Android devices. The Game is rated 3+ (PEGI 3 / ESRB Everyone) and is designed to be safe, enjoyable, and suitable for general audiences, families, and players of all ages. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully.

If you do not agree with the terms of this policy, please do not access or play the Game.
2. Information We Collect We do not require user accounts, registration, email addresses, names, or phone numbers to play the Game. We do not collect or store any directly identifiable personal information on our own private servers. However, the Game integrates trusted third-party services (such as Google AdMob and Firebase) that collect technical, device, and usage data to deliver advertisements, analyze performance, and maintain app stability. A. Data Collected Automatically via Third-Party SDKs:
3. Device and Technical Identifiers: • Google Advertising ID (GAID) • IP address (used for coarse geographic location and fraud prevention) • Device brand, model, hardware specs, and screen resolution • Operating System version (Android version) • Mobile network operator and connection type (Wi-Fi, 4G, 5G) • Application version and language settings
4. App Usage and Performance Data: • Game analytics events (e.g., splash screen views, level start, level complete, level fail, hint usage, level skip) • Interaction with advertisements (e.g., ad impressions, ad clicks, rewarded video completion) • System performance metrics (e.g., app launch duration, frame rendering performance)
5. Diagnostic and Crash Data: • Crash logs, stack traces, and device state metrics captured at the time of an unexpected error or application crash (via Firebase Crashlytics) B. Data Stored Locally on Your Device: The Game stores gameplay data locally on your device’s internal storage using Android SharedPreferences and local preference stores: • Game Progress: Current level completed, high scores, coins earned, spare lives, and tutorial flags. • Game Preferences: Sound effects toggle and volume, tap sound selections, error sound selections, haptic vibration toggle, arrow stroke scale, trail dot radius, arrow theme/color selections, and language preference. • Purchase Status: Local boolean flag indicating active “Remove Ads” / Premium status (synced securely via Google Play Billing). Note: All locally stored gameplay data remains on your physical device and is never transmitted to or stored on our external servers. C. In-App Purchases & Financial Information: The Game offers an optional digital in-app purchase (“Remove Ads”). All financial transactions, billing, and payment information (such as credit card numbers, billing address, or payment method details) are handled exclusively and securely by Google Play Billing. We do not collect, process, or store any payment or financial information. Non-consumable purchases (e.g., “Remove Ads”) are tied directly to your Google Play Account and remain active across app reinstalls and device updates.
6. How We Use Your Information The technical and usage information collected by third-party services is used solely for the following purposes: • Ad Serving and Family Safety: To serve Family-Safe advertisements (interstitials, app open ads, and rewarded video ads) via Google AdMob strictly adhering to General Audience / G-rated content filtering (MAX_AD_CONTENT_RATING_G). • Ad Frequency Capping & Security: To limit repeated ad displays, detect invalid clicks, and prevent ad fraud. • In-App Purchase Verification & Restoration: To process, verify, acknowledge, and restore digital purchases (such as “Remove Ads”) associated with your Google Play Account across app installs and device changes. • Analytics and Gameplay Improvement: To monitor game usage trends, measure level difficulty balance, optimize performance on low-end and high-end devices, and improve game design. • Crash Diagnosis and Technical Stability: To identify software bugs, resolve runtime crashes, and ensure smooth operation across different Android OS versions and hardware configurations. • Consent Compliance: To request and respect user privacy preferences under applicable data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA).
