Privacy Policy for Ascent Spire
Terrier Games ("we," "us," or "our") provides the mobile game Ascent Spire (the "App") on iOS and Android. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, shared, retained, and deleted in connection with the App.
1. Information Collected
Game progress. Gameplay progress and save data are stored locally on your device. Terrier Games does not operate servers that collect or store your gameplay progress. Data stored in device backups, if any, is managed according to your device and platform settings.
Advertising. The App uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. Depending on the device, settings, location, and applicable consent choices, Google AdMob and its partners may collect or process:
- Device information and device or advertising identifiers;
- Approximate location inferred from information such as an IP address;
- Advertising data, including ad impressions and interactions;
- App usage and interaction information; and
- Crash reports, diagnostics, and performance information.
In-app purchases. The App uses Unity In-App Purchasing (Unity IAP) to support in-app purchases. Purchases are processed through the Apple App Store on iOS or Google Play on Android. Unity and the applicable store may process purchase-related information, such as product identifiers, purchase status, transaction identifiers, app or device identifiers, and other information needed to complete, validate, or restore purchases and prevent fraud.
We do not directly collect full payment card details through the App. Payment processing is handled by the relevant app store. The App does not directly ask users to provide their names, postal addresses, phone numbers, or email addresses.
Support inquiries. If you contact us by email, we receive the email address and other information you choose to include in your message, and use it to respond to your inquiry.
2. Purposes of Processing
The information described above may be processed to:
- Display advertisements and, where permitted, personalize them;
- Measure advertising performance and prevent fraudulent activity;
- Process, verify, and restore in-app purchases;
- Diagnose crashes, maintain stability, and improve the App; and
- Comply with applicable legal obligations.
3. Third-Party Services and Data Sharing
The App integrates third-party services that may receive information directly through their software development kits or platform services. The types of information they process and their retention and security practices are described in their privacy policies:
- Google AdMob and Google User Messaging Platform (UMP): advertising and privacy choices. See Google Privacy Policy and Google AdMob Help.
- Unity Technologies (Unity IAP): in-app purchase functionality. See Unity Privacy Policy.
- Apple App Store (iOS): purchase processing and purchase restoration. See Apple Privacy Policy.
- Google Play (Android): purchase processing and purchase restoration. See Google Privacy Policy.
We use these services for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. Third-party providers process information under their own applicable privacy and security practices. We do not directly receive payment card details from the app stores.
4. Advertising Consent and Privacy Choices
Where required by applicable law, the App uses Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) to present advertising privacy choices. The availability of these choices may vary by region and device settings.
The App provides a way to reopen the Google UMP privacy options form from within the App where that form is available. You can use it to review or change applicable advertising consent choices. You can also manage certain advertising preferences using your device settings and Google's privacy controls. To ask about your available options, please contact us using the address below.
Changing advertising consent may affect personalized advertising but does not necessarily stop all advertising or data processing required for security, fraud prevention, or other permitted purposes.
5. Data Retention, Deletion, and Requests
Gameplay progress and save data remain on your device; Terrier Games does not hold a server-side copy. You can remove local game data by deleting the App and its data using the applicable device controls. Copies included in device or cloud backups may remain subject to the platform provider's backup and deletion settings.
If you contact us for support, we may retain your messages for as long as reasonably necessary to respond and meet applicable legal obligations. Information independently collected or held by Google, Unity, or Apple is retained and deleted according to the relevant provider's policies.
You may contact us at terrier.game@gmail.com to request information about, or deletion of, personal data under our control. We will review such requests and respond in accordance with applicable law. For information held independently by third-party providers, please use their privacy controls or contact them directly.
6. Data Security
We seek to limit information handling to what is needed to operate the App and rely on the relevant advertising and app store services for their respective processing activities. These third-party providers maintain their own technical and organizational safeguards. No method of data transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the App, its third-party services, or applicable requirements change. The latest version will be published on this page, with the updated date shown above.
