Privacy Policy - Hidden Cogs LLC

Introduction

Hidden Cogs LLC ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information in our game application (the "App") that uses in-app purchases and Google AdMob for monetization.

Information We Collect

The App itself does not collect any personal information such as your name, email address, or phone number.

However, we do use third-party services that may automatically collect certain data for their own purposes. These services include:

• Google AdMob: Used to display advertisements in the game. This service may collect data like your device's IP address, unique device identifiers (such as the Android Advertising ID), app usage information, and general location data to serve personalized ads.
• Google Play Billing: This service processes all in-app purchases. We do not collect or store your financial information, such as credit card details. This data is handled securely and solely by the Google Play Store.

How We Use Your Information

• Advertisements: The data collected by Google AdMob is used to serve and optimize advertisements within the App. This helps us to monetize the game and offer it for free.
• In-App Purchases: When you make a purchase to disable ads, the App receives a notification from Google Play to unlock the feature. We only use this information to fulfill your purchase and do not retain any financial details.

Sharing Your Information

We do not share any data we collect with third parties. However, as noted above, our third-party service providers (specifically Google AdMob) may collect and share data as part of their services.

Third-Party Services

• Google AdMob: We utilize Google AdMob for advertisements. The data they collect and how they use it is subject to their own policies. For more information, please refer to Google's AdMob Privacy Policy.
• Google Play Billing: All in-app purchases are processed through Google Play. Your payment information is handled by Google. Please refer to the Google Play Privacy Policy for details on their data handling practices.

Data Security

Since we do not collect or store any personal or financial information on our servers, there is no risk of a data breach from our end. The data collected by third parties is subject to their own security measures.

Data Retention

We do not retain any user information on our servers. Any data collected by third parties is subject to their data retention policies.

Children's Privacy

Our game is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
