Last updated: August 25, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes Our policies and procedures on the collection, use and disclosure of Your information when You use the Service and tells You about Your privacy rights and how the law protects You.
We have written this Privacy Policy to describe what Grass Bros actually does, rather than everything an application of this kind might do. Where a section states that We do not collect something, that is a statement about this Application and not a general reservation.
By using the Service, You agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
The words of which the initial letter is capitalized have meanings defined under the following conditions. The following definitions shall have the same meaning regardless of whether they appear in singular or in plural.
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy:
Advertising Identifier means the resettable identifier a mobile operating system provides for advertising purposes: the Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) on iOS, and the Android Advertising ID (AAID) on Android.
Affiliate means an entity that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with a party, where "control" means ownership of 50% or more of the shares, equity interest or other securities entitled to vote for election of directors or other managing authority.
Age Band means one of the four values the Application records in place of an age: Undetermined, Child (under 13), Teen (13 to 17), and Adult (18 and over).
Application refers to Grass Bros, the software program provided by the Company.
Business, for the purpose of the CCPA/CPRA, refers to the Company as the legal entity that collects Consumers' personal information and determines the purposes and means of the processing of Consumers' personal information, or on behalf of which such information is collected and that alone, or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of consumers' personal information, that does business in the State of California.
CCPA and/or CPRA refers to California Consumer Privacy Act (the "CCPA") as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act of 2020 (the "CPRA").
Company (referred to as either "the Company", "We", "Us" or "Our" in this Agreement) refers to Hero Code LLC, 8190 Barker Cypress Rd, Ste 1900-538, Cypress, TX 77433.
For the purpose of the GDPR, the Company is the Data Controller.
Consumer, for the purpose of the CCPA/CPRA, means a natural person who is a California resident. A resident, as defined in the law, includes (1) every individual who is in the USA for other than a temporary or transitory purpose, and (2) every individual who is domiciled in the USA who is outside the USA for a temporary or transitory purpose.
COPPA refers to the United States Children's Online Privacy Protection Act and the Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule made under it, including the amendments that took effect in 2025.

Data Controller, for the purposes of the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), refers to the Company as the legal person which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of Personal Data.
Device means any device that can access the Service, such as a cellphone or a digital tablet.
Display Name means the short public name shown beside You in multiplayer. The Application generates one for You automatically and You may change it at any time.
Do Not Track (DNT) is a concept that has been promoted by US regulatory authorities, in particular the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), for the Internet industry to develop and implement a mechanism for allowing internet users to control the tracking of their online activities across websites.
GDPR refers to EU General Data Protection Regulation and, where the context requires, the UK General Data Protection Regulation.
Personal Data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual.
For the purposes of GDPR, Personal Data means any information relating to You such as a name, an identification number, location data, online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity.
For the purposes of the CCPA/CPRA, Personal Data means any information that identifies, relates to, describes or is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with You.
Service refers to the Application.
Service Provider means any natural or legal person who processes the data on behalf of the Company. It refers to third-party companies or individuals employed by the Company to facilitate the Service, to provide the Service on behalf of the Company, or to perform services related to the Service. For the purpose of the GDPR, Service Providers are considered Data Processors.
Store means the application marketplace from which You obtained the Application: the Apple App Store, Google Play, or the Amazon Appstore.
Usage Data refers to data collected automatically, either generated by the use of the Service or from the Service infrastructure itself.
You means the individual accessing or using the Service, or the company, or other legal entity on behalf of which such individual is accessing or using the Service, as applicable.
Under GDPR, You can be referred to as the Data Subject or as the User as you are the individual using the Service.
The Service has no account, no registration and no sign-in. We do not ask You to provide, and We do not collect, any of the following:
Email address
First name and last name
Password or other account credentials
Postal address, State, Province, ZIP/Postal code, City
Phone number
Payment card or other financial information
Precise or device-level location. The Application never requests location permission.
Contacts, photographs, files, calendar, microphone or camera access
Biometric information
The one piece of text You may provide is Your Display Name, which the Application generates for You automatically and which You may change. It is shown to other players in multiplayer. We ask that You do not use Your real name or any other personal information in it.
The Application keeps a single save file in its own storage on Your Device. It remains on the Device. We operate no server and keep no player database, so We do not receive this file, cannot read it, and hold no copy of it. It contains:
Your Display Name
Your in-game currency balances and the record of how they were earned and spent
Which cosmetic items You own and which You are wearing
Your sound, music and reduced-motion settings
Your progress: jobs completed, achievements, streaks, matches played and won, and the daily reward and rewarded video counters
Your Age Band and the date it was recorded. See the "Children's Privacy" section below
The date the save file was created, which is what a limited-time offer is measured against
Whether You have purchased Remove Ads
Deleting the Application from Your Device, or clearing its data through Your operating system, permanently erases all of it.
Usage Data is collected automatically when using the Service. Two features of the Application send information off the Device, and there are no others.
When You play multiplayer, the following is transmitted to Our multiplayer Service Provider and to the other players in Your room: Your Display Name; a temporary session identifier assigned by the multiplayer Service Provider for the duration of the connection; Your IP address, which is how packets reach You; and gameplay state, meaning Your character's position and movement, which tool You are holding, what You have cut, Your score and team, the cosmetic items You are wearing, and the settings of the room You are in.
The Application contains no chat, no voice and no messaging of any kind. The Display Name is the only free text that reaches another player.
When an advertisement is requested, Our advertising Service Provider receives: Your Advertising Identifier, where the law and Your choices allow it to be used, and never for a player in the Child or Teen band; Your IP address, from which an approximate location such as a country or region can be inferred; device and application information such as device model, operating system version, application identifier, screen size, language and time zone; advertisement interaction data, meaning which advertisements were shown, whether one was viewed to completion and whether one was tapped; and the treatment signal derived from Your Age Band, which carries the band and never Your age.
The Company may use Personal Data for the following purposes:
To provide and maintain our Service, including operating multiplayer matchmaking and gameplay.
To fund the Service through advertising, including applying the protective advertising treatment described in the "Children's Privacy" section.
To deliver items You have purchased, by unlocking them in the save file on Your Device once the Store reports that a purchase succeeded.
To manage Your requests: to attend and manage Your requests to Us, including any privacy request You send Us.
To comply with Our legal obligations, including those under COPPA, the GDPR and United States state privacy laws.
For business transfers: We may use Your information to evaluate or conduct a merger, divestiture, restructuring, reorganization, dissolution, or other sale or transfer of some or all of Our assets, whether as a going concern or as part of bankruptcy, liquidation, or similar proceeding, in which Personal Data held by Us about our Service users is among the assets transferred.
We do not use Your information for analytics, for profiling, for marketing communications, or to contact You unless You have contacted Us first. The Application sends no marketing email and no push notifications.
We may share Your personal information in the following situations:
We do not share Your information with business partners for their own products, services or promotions.
The Company will retain Your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We do not retain Personal Data indefinitely. Because We operate no server and keep no player database, there is no accumulating store of player information held by Us for a retention period to apply to.
Specifically:
The save file, including Your Display Name and Age Band, is held on Your Device until You delete the Application or clear its data. We never receive it and hold no copy.
Multiplayer session data is processed for the duration of the session and is not retained afterwards.
Advertising data is retained by Our advertising Service Provider under its own published retention practices, linked below. We hold none of it.
Purchase records are held by the Store under its own policy. We hold none of them.
Emails You send Us are kept for up to 24 months so that We can follow up, and are then deleted, unless We are legally required to keep them longer.
Your information, including Personal Data, is processed at the Company's operating offices and in any other places where the parties involved in the processing are located. Our advertising and multiplayer Service Providers operate globally, and the Company is based in the United States. It means that this information may be transferred to and maintained on computers located outside of Your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where the data protection laws may differ than those from Your jurisdiction.
The multiplayer Service Provider operates servers in several regions worldwide, and the Application connects to the region that gives You the best connection, so Your session data may be processed outside Your own country.
Where Personal Data is transferred out of the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, Our Service Providers rely on transfer mechanisms recognised under the GDPR, including the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses and, where applicable, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
Your consent to this Privacy Policy followed by Your submission of such information represents Your agreement to that transfer. The Company will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that Your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
You have the right to delete or request that We assist in deleting the Personal Data that We have collected about You.
You can delete everything the Application stores at any time, without asking Us: uninstalling the Application, or clearing its data through Your operating system, permanently erases the save file described above, including Your Display Name and Your Age Band.
You may also contact Us to request access to, correct, or delete any personal information that You believe We hold. Because We operate no server and keep no player database, in almost every case the honest answer will be that We hold nothing about You, and We will tell You so plainly.
Please note, however, that We may need to retain certain information when we have a legal obligation or lawful basis to do so.
If the Company is involved in a merger, acquisition or asset sale, Your Personal Data may be transferred. We will provide notice before Your Personal Data is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.
Under certain circumstances, the Company may be required to disclose Your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g. a court or a government agency).
The Company may disclose Your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:
The save file sits in Your Device's own application storage, protected by the operating system's sandbox in the same way as any other application's data on Your Device. Traffic to Our advertising and multiplayer Service Providers is encrypted in transit.
Because We operate no server and hold no player database, there is no central store of player information for Us to lose. That is a deliberate design decision and it is the strongest security statement We can honestly make.
The security of Your Personal Data is important to Us, but remember that no method of transmission over the Internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While We strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect Your Personal Data, We cannot guarantee its absolute security.
The Service Providers We use may have access to Your Personal Data. These third-party vendors collect, store, use, process and transfer information about Your activity on Our Service in accordance with their Privacy Policies. The following is the complete list; there are no other recipients.
We use no analytics of any kind. The Application contains no analytics, telemetry, attribution or crash reporting library. Unity Analytics, Unity Cloud Diagnostics and Unity crash reporting are all disabled in this project and no third-party analytics service is integrated.
We use Service Providers to show advertisements to You to help support and maintain Our Service.
AdMob by Google
AdMob by Google is provided by Google LLC. It is the only advertising network in the Application. There is no mediation and no third-party advertising adapter in the build.
Google's User Messaging Platform, which is part of the same service, is what presents the consent form described below.
You can opt-out from the AdMob by Google service by following the instructions described by Google: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=en
For more information on how Google uses the collected information, please visit the "How Google uses data when you use our partners' sites or app" page: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites or visit the Privacy Policy of Google: https://policies.google.com/privacy
There are three advertisement formats, and where each may appear is a fixed rule in the Application rather than a setting:
A banner at the foot of certain menu screens. Never during play.
A full screen advertisement on the way back to the menu after a finished job or match, at a limited rate. Never during play, never on a lobby countdown, and never in Your first session.
An opt-in rewarded video, which You choose to watch in exchange for in-game currency. It never opens by itself, and closing it early simply pays nothing.
No advertisement is ever shown during a match or a job, and none is triggered by an attempt to leave the Application.
Where You are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the Application presents a consent form through Google's User Messaging Platform before any advertisement is requested. Your choice is recorded by that platform and honoured on every later request. On iOS, Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt is presented as part of the same flow; if You decline, the Advertising Identifier is not used for tracking. You can reopen the consent form from Settings, then Ad Privacy inside the Application, wherever the consent platform indicates You are entitled to one.
Photon
Photon is provided by Exit Games Inc., 111 SW 5th Ave, STE 3150, Portland, Oregon 97204, United States, and Exit Games GmbH, Hongkongstr. 7, 20457 Hamburg, Germany.
Exit Games acts as a data processor on Our behalf. It does not decide what is collected and does not use player data for its own purposes. Session data is processed for the duration of the session and is not retained afterwards. Requests about that data come to Us rather than to them, because We are the Data Controller.
For more information on the privacy practices of Photon, please visit the Photon Privacy and Cookie Policy: https://www.photonengine.com/terms/privacyandcookiepolicy
The Application offers optional in-app purchases. Every purchase is handled entirely by the Store You obtained the Application from, using the payment method already on Your Store account.
We never see, receive, or store Your payment card number, billing address, or any other financial information. What the Application receives back from the Store is a result: whether the purchase succeeded, and which item it was for. The item is then unlocked in the save file on Your Device.
Refunds, purchase history and payment questions are handled by the Store under its own privacy policy:
The Application uses none. Your save file is not uploaded anywhere. If a future version begins storing a copy of Your progress off the Device, We will update this Privacy Policy and say so on this page before that version ships.
We may process Personal Data under the following conditions:
In any case, the Company will gladly help to clarify the specific legal basis that applies to the processing, and in particular whether the provision of Personal Data is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.
The Company undertakes to respect the confidentiality of Your Personal Data and to guarantee You can exercise Your rights.
You have the right under this Privacy Policy, and by law if You are within the EU or the UK, to:
What these rights mean in practice for an application with no accounts. We hold no user database, so in almost every case We hold nothing about You to access, correct, port or erase. Your save file is already entirely in Your hands, and deleting the Application erases it. Where Your request concerns data held by Google or by Exit Games, We will tell You so and direct You to the right controls.
You may exercise Your rights of access, rectification, cancellation and opposition by contacting Us. Please note that we may ask You to verify Your identity before responding to such requests, and We will not ask for more information than We need. If You make a request, We will respond within one month, and will tell You if We need longer.
You have the right to complain to a Data Protection Authority about Our collection and use of Your Personal Data. For more information, if You are in the European Economic Area (EEA), please contact Your local data protection authority in the EEA. If You are in the United Kingdom, please contact the Information Commissioner's Office.
This privacy notice section for California residents supplements the information contained in Our Privacy Policy and it applies solely to all visitors, users, and others who reside in the State of California. Where the equivalent rights exist under their own state law, it applies equally to residents of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, Utah, Texas and other states with comprehensive privacy laws.
We collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, references, is capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular Consumer or Device. The following is a list of categories of personal information which we may collect or may have been collected from California residents within the last twelve (12) months.
Please note that the categories and examples provided in the list below are those defined in the CCPA/CPRA. The answers below state what this Application actually collects.
Category A: Identifiers.
Examples: A real name, alias, postal address, unique personal identifier, online identifier, Internet Protocol address, email address, account name, driver's license number, passport number, or other similar identifiers.
Collected: Yes. Specifically Your IP address, Your Advertising Identifier, a temporary multiplayer session identifier, and the Display Name You choose. No real name, postal address, email address or government identifier is collected.
Category B: Personal information categories listed in the California Customer Records statute (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e)).
Examples: A name, signature, Social Security number, physical characteristics or description, address, telephone number, passport number, driver's license or state identification card number, insurance policy number, education, employment, employment history, bank account number, credit card number, debit card number, or any other financial information, medical information, or health insurance information.

Category D: Commercial information.
Examples: Records and history of products or services purchased or considered.
Collected: Limited. Which in-game items You own is stored on Your Device. Purchase records are held by the Store rather than by Us.
Category E: Biometric information.
Examples: Genetic, physiological, behavioral, and biological characteristics, or activity patterns used to extract a template or other identifier or identifying information, such as, fingerprints, faceprints, and voiceprints, iris or retina scans, keystroke, gait, or other physical patterns, and sleep, health, or exercise data.

Category F: Internet or other similar network activity.
Examples: Interaction with our Service or advertisement.

Collected: No.
Category I: Professional or employment-related information.
Examples: Current or past job history or performance evaluations.
Collected: No.
Category J: Non-public education information (per the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (20 U.S.C. Section 1232g, 34 C.F.R. Part 99)).
Examples: Education records directly related to a student maintained by an educational institution or party acting on its behalf, such as grades, transcripts, class lists, student schedules, student identification codes, student financial information, or student disciplinary records.
Collected: No.
Category K: Inferences drawn from other personal information.
Examples: Profile reflecting a person's preferences, characteristics, psychological trends, predispositions, behavior, attitudes, intelligence, abilities, and aptitudes.

Category L: Sensitive personal information.
Examples: Account login and password information, geolocation data.
Collected: No. No account credentials, precise geolocation, government identifiers, or contents of communications are collected.
Under CCPA/CPRA, personal information does not include:
We obtain the categories of personal information listed above from the following categories of sources:
We do not buy personal information and We do not obtain personal information from data brokers.
We may use or disclose personal information We collect for "business purposes" or "commercial purposes" (as defined under the CCPA/CPRA), which may include the following examples:
Please note that the examples provided above are illustrative and not intended to be exhaustive. For more details on how we use this information, please refer to the "Use of Your Personal Data" section.
If We decide to collect additional categories of personal information or use the personal information We collected for materially different, unrelated, or incompatible purposes We will update this Privacy Policy.
We may use or disclose and may have used or disclosed in the last twelve (12) months the following categories of personal information for business or commercial purposes:
Category A: Identifiers
Category C: Protected classification characteristics, limited to the coarse treatment signal derived from the Age Band
Category F: Internet or other similar network activity
When We disclose personal information for a business purpose or a commercial purpose, We enter a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose except performing the contract.
We may share, and have shared in the last twelve (12) months, Your personal information identified in the above categories with the following categories of third parties:
Service Providers, being Our advertising and multiplayer Service Providers named above
Other players in Your multiplayer room, limited to Your Display Name, Your gameplay state and the cosmetic items You are wearing
Our affiliates
We do not share Your personal information with business partners for their own products, services or promotions.
As defined in the CCPA/CPRA, "sell" and "sale" mean selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a Consumer's personal information by the Business to a third party for valuable consideration. This means that We may have received some kind of benefit in return for sharing personal information, but not necessarily a monetary benefit.
We do not sell personal information for money, and We never have.
Showing personalised advertising can amount to "sharing" for cross-context behavioural advertising under the CCPA/CPRA, and some readings treat it as a "sale" even where no money changes hands. To be plain about it: where a player in the Adult band has consented, Categories A and F may be shared with Google for that purpose. Where a player has not consented, or is in any other band, they are not.
We do not sell or share the personal information of any player under 18, and We do not sell or share the personal information of Consumers We know to be less than 16 years of age under any circumstances.
The age screen described in the "Children's Privacy" section is the mechanism that makes this true rather than a promise: a player in the Child or Teen band receives non-personalised advertising only, and no Advertising Identifier is used for them.
If You have reason to believe that a child under the age of 13 (or 16) has provided Us with personal information, please contact Us with sufficient detail to enable Us to delete that information.
The CCPA/CPRA provides California residents with specific rights regarding their personal information. If You are a resident of California, You have the following rights:
Please see the "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" section for more information on how to opt out.
Additionally, in order to exercise any of Your rights under the CCPA/CPRA, and if You are a California resident, You can contact Us:
Only You, or a person registered with the California Secretary of State that You authorize to act on Your behalf, may make a verifiable request related to Your personal information.
Your request to Us must:
We cannot respond to Your request or provide You with the required information if We cannot verify Your identity or authority to make the request and confirm that the personal information relates to You. We will not ask for more information than We need, and where the honest answer is that We hold nothing about You, We will tell You so plainly.
We will disclose and deliver the required information free of charge within 45 days of receiving Your verifiable request. The time period to provide the required information may be extended once by an additional 45 days when reasonably necessary and with prior notice.
Any disclosures We provide will only cover the 12-month period preceding the verifiable request's receipt.
We do not sell personal information for money. We do allow Our advertising Service Provider to use Your personal information for the business purposes described in Our Privacy Policy, and for a consenting player in the Adult band that may be deemed a sale or a share under CCPA/CPRA.
You have the right to opt-out of the sale or sharing of Your personal information. You do not need to contact Us to exercise it, and the controls below take effect on the next advertisement request.
Open Settings inside Grass Bros and use Ad Privacy, wherever the consent platform indicates You are entitled to it. This reopens the consent form and lets You change any answer You have previously given.
Your mobile device gives You the ability to opt out of the use of information about the apps You use in order to serve You ads that are targeted to Your interests:
Both operating systems also let You reset or delete Your Advertising Identifier entirely.
If You are a California resident, You have the right to limit the use and disclosure of Your sensitive personal information to that use which is necessary to perform the services or provide the goods reasonably expected by an average Consumer who requests such services or goods.
The Application collects no sensitive personal information, as Category L above records, so there is nothing for this right to limit.
Grass Bros is a mobile application rather than a website, so it does not receive browser Do Not Track or Global Privacy Control signals and cannot respond to them.
The equivalent controls for an application are the operating system's advertising settings and the in-application Ad Privacy option, both described in the "Do Not Sell My Personal Information" section above, and both of which We do honour.
Under California Civil Code Section 1798 (California's Shine the Light law), California residents with an established business relationship with us can request information once a year about sharing their Personal Data with third parties for the third parties' direct marketing purposes.
We do not share Personal Data with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. If you'd like to request more information under the California Shine the Light law, and if You are a California resident, You can contact Us using the contact information provided below.
California Business and Professions Code Section 22581 allows California residents under the age of 18 who are registered users of online sites, services or applications to request and obtain removal of content or information they have publicly posted.
The Application has no accounts and no public posting. The only content You provide that another player can see is Your Display Name, which You can change at any time from the shop screen, and which is erased entirely by uninstalling the Application.
To request removal of such data, and if You are a California resident, You can contact Us using the contact information provided below.
Be aware that Your request does not guarantee complete or comprehensive removal of content or information posted online and that the law may not permit or require removal in certain circumstances.
Grass Bros is a general audience application that We expect will appeal to children as well as to adults. Because of that it does not treat every player the same way, and this is the most important section of this Privacy Policy.
The first time You reach the main menu, the Application asks for Your age. The screen is built to be neutral, which is what the amended COPPA Rule requires of an age determination mechanism:
The field opens empty. There is no default value, no pre-selected value, and no slider, because a slider has a starting position by construction.
Nothing on the screen hints at which answer is better, or at what any answer unlocks.
Declining is allowed and costs You nothing but advertising relevance. The Application is fully playable either way, and a refusal is recorded as the most protective band.
There is no retry. The answer is taken once and recorded.
The number You enter is converted to one of four Age Bands immediately and is then discarded. Your age is never written to storage and never leaves the Device. The band is the least specific piece of information that answers the only question an advertising provider needs answered:
Child, meaning under 13. Child directed treatment: no personalised advertising, no remarketing, and no use of the Advertising Identifier for advertising purposes.
Teen, meaning 13 to 17. Age restricted treatment: no personalised advertising.
Adult, meaning 18 and over. The only band that may be shown a consent form and, with consent where consent is required, personalised advertising.
Undetermined, meaning declined or not yet asked. Treated exactly as Child.
Every advertisement request also carries a content rating cap of G, in every band, so the advertisements themselves are suitable for all ages regardless of who is playing.
The Application asks again if the recorded answer is more than twelve months old, because a child becomes a teenager without the Application noticing.
This is a design guarantee rather than a policy aspiration. Until the age screen has an answer, the advertising library is not initialised, no consent request is made, no Advertising Identifier is read, and no advertisement of any kind is requested.
One thing does happen before the age screen, and We name it here rather than leave it to be discovered. The Application opens its multiplayer connection while it is loading, which sends Your Display Name and Your IP address to Our multiplayer Service Provider as described above. That is the Application's core multiplayer function; it is not advertising, it is not analytics, and it is not a persistent identifier used for advertising.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from a child under 13 beyond what is described in this Privacy Policy, and for a player in the Child band We instruct Our advertising Service Provider to disable personalised advertising and remarketing entirely.
Because the Application has no account and no server, We hold no records tied to an individual child, and there is nothing on Our side for a parent to request access to or deletion of. Everything the Application stores about a player is on the Device and is erased by deleting the Application or clearing its data.
If You are a parent or guardian and You are aware that Your child has provided Us with Personal Data, or You wish to review or delete anything, please contact Us. We will act on it, and We will ask for enough detail to identify what You are asking about and no more.
If We need to rely on consent as a legal basis for processing Your information and Your country requires consent from a parent, We may require Your parent's consent before We collect and use that information.
Everything above applies wherever You obtained the Application. This section adds what is specific to the Amazon Appstore and to Fire OS devices.
The Application does not read or use the Amazon Advertising ID. The advertising library in the Application does not access it, and We do not substitute any other identifier in its place. In practice this means advertising on Fire OS devices is contextual rather than personalised, whatever Your Age Band.
Distribution and purchases are handled by Amazon. Amazon collects information about Your download and any purchase under its own privacy notice, linked in the "In-App Purchases" section above. We never see Your payment details.
Amazon Kids. If the Application is played inside an Amazon Kids child profile, Amazon controls access to the Appstore and requires a parent to approve any purchase. Those controls belong to Amazon and to the parent who set them up, and nothing in the Application can override them.
Advertising placement. The rules described in the "Advertising" section apply unchanged on Fire OS. No advertisement is triggered by an attempt to exit, no full screen advertisement appears without an accessible way to dismiss it, and rewarded video remains opt-in.
Advertisements shown in the Application may take You to a third party's website or store listing if You tap them. Those destinations are not operated by Us. If You follow such a link, You will be directed to that third party's site, and We strongly advise You to review the Privacy Policy of every site You visit.
We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third party sites or services.
We may update Our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify You of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this Privacy Policy.
If a change is material, and in particular if a future version of the Application begins collecting something this Privacy Policy states that it does not collect, We will say so on this page before that version ships.
You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, or You wish to exercise any right described in it, You can contact us:
We answer privacy requests from the same address, and We will tell You plainly when the honest answer is that We hold nothing about You.
