EcoGuardians Privacy Policy

Information used by the game

• Nickname and selected in-game avatar.
• Game progress, unlocked levels, EcoCoins, rewards, settings and Living Planet progress.
• Competition scores, rankings, daily challenge results and room-code match information when those features are used.
• Purchase status where needed to provide paid features such as Ad-Free and EcoCoin purchases.

Children's privacy and safety

EcoGuardians does not require a personal photograph. The game has no public chat, direct messages or online friends system. Users should not submit a child's full name, home address, school or other sensitive personal information through support. Where consent or parental involvement is required, the appropriate age-related process applies.

Advertising, consent and privacy choices

EcoGuardians may use Google AdMob and the Google Mobile Ads SDK to show between-level interstitial ads and optional rewarded ads. Where required, a consent or privacy choices message may be shown before advertising is enabled.

Advertising providers may process information such as device identifiers, approximate location, ad interactions and diagnostic information in accordance with their own policies and the privacy choices available to the user. Ad-Free removes regular interstitial ads. Rewarded ads remain optional and are shown only when the player chooses to use them.

Purchases

Google Play may process purchase and transaction information needed to provide EcoCoins and permanent purchases such as Ad-Free. EcoGuardians uses purchase status only as needed to deliver and restore purchased features.

How information is used

• Run the game: save progress, settings, resources and purchases.
• Competition: calculate scores, ranks and challenge results where online competition is enabled.
• Safety and security: prevent abuse, fraud and technical misuse.
• Improve the app: understand performance and fix errors where diagnostics or analytics are enabled.
• Support: respond to support requests and investigate reported problems.

Data sharing

Information may be shared with service providers needed to operate the app, such as hosting, Google Play billing, Google AdMob / advertising, analytics or security providers, and where required by law. EcoGuardians does not provide public chat or an online-friends system.

Retention and player rights

Information is kept only for as long as needed for the purpose for which it was collected, legal requirements, security or account recovery. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction or other privacy choices.

Support and privacy contact

If you want a reply to a support request, you may provide an email address. Providing an email for a reply is optional.
