This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use Outbreak Tycoon (the “Game”). By using the Game, you acknowledge the practices described below.
1. Information we handle
The Game may handle the following categories of information, depending on the version, device, platform, and features you use:
- Game progress: facilities, upgrades, currency, settings, tutorial progress, and other save data. This is primarily stored locally on your device.
- Purchase information: product identifiers, transaction status, and entitlement information needed to deliver in-app purchases. Payment details are processed by the relevant app store and are not received by us.
- Advertising information: device identifiers, ad interaction data, consent choices, and approximate location inferred from an IP address when advertising features are used.
- Diagnostics and usage information: device type, operating-system version, app version, crash reports, performance data, and in-game events used to improve stability and balance.
- Support communications: information you choose to provide when contacting us, such as your message and contact details.
2. How information is used
Information may be used to:
- operate, maintain, and save progress in the Game;
- process purchases and restore eligible entitlements;
- provide optional advertising and rewards;
- diagnose crashes, prevent abuse, and improve performance;
- understand broad gameplay trends and improve game balance;
- respond to support requests; and
- meet legal, security, and platform requirements.
3. Third-party services
Distribution builds of the Game may use services supplied by third parties, including the applicable app store, analytics and crash reporting providers, and advertising providers. These providers may process information under their own privacy policies.
Examples may include Google Play services, Google Play Billing, Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics, and Google AdMob. The exact services available can differ by platform and app version.
4. Advertising and consent
The Game may offer optional advertisements or rewarded ads. Where required, you will be given a choice regarding personalized advertising and tracking. You can also manage advertising preferences through your device settings. Choosing non-personalized ads does not necessarily remove ads; it limits how they are selected.
5. In-app purchases
Purchases are processed by Google Play, Apple, or another authorized platform provider. We do not collect or store your full payment-card information. Store providers may share limited transaction and entitlement information so the Game can deliver or restore purchased content.
6. Sharing of information
We do not sell your personal information. Information may be shared with service providers only as needed to operate the Game, fulfill purchases, provide advertising, measure performance, prevent fraud, comply with law, or protect users and our rights.
7. Data retention and deletion
Local save data remains on your device until you reset the Game, clear app storage, or uninstall it. Third-party providers retain information according to their own policies and legal requirements. You may request assistance with applicable data rights using the contact method below.
8. Children’s privacy
The Game is not directed to children under 13, or the minimum age required by local law to consent to data processing. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law. If you believe a child has provided personal information improperly, please contact us.
9. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information. However, no storage or transmission method is completely secure, and absolute security cannot be guaranteed.
10. Your choices and rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to certain processing of personal information. You can also limit permissions and reset advertising identifiers through device settings. Requests may require reasonable verification.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the Game changes or legal requirements evolve. The revised version will be posted on this page with a new “Last updated” date. Continued use of the Game after an update means the revised policy applies.
12. Contact
For privacy questions or requests, contact us using the developer contact details listed on the Game’s official Google Play or App Store page. Include “Outbreak Tycoon Privacy” in your message so your request can be directed correctly.
