Privacy Policy

1 Information We Process

The App may process the following information in order to provide its game, cloud-save, social, purchase and advertising features:

• Player profile information: an automatically generated player identifier, invite code, display name chosen by the player, session or recovery/transfer identifiers.
• Game progress: levels, scores, coins, unlocked items, skins, boosters, rewards, settings and other gameplay progress.
• Social and tournament information: invite/friend relationships, tournament codes, scores, leaderboard results and rewards.
• Purchase information: product identifiers, purchase status and purchase tokens used to verify Google Play purchases and grant purchased content. Snack Stack! does not receive or store full payment-card details.
• Technical information: limited technical information such as IP address, app/browser version, device or network information, and security or error logs may be processed by the services used to deliver, secure and maintain the App.
• Advertising information: Google AdMob may process IP addresses (which can indicate approximate location), advertising and app-set identifiers, ad interactions and diagnostic information. The information processed depends on the player’s age group, device settings and privacy choices.
• Age and advertising preferences: the App stores a selected age group and the date it was selected on the device. It does not ask for a date of birth. Age-related advertising settings and consent choices are provided to Google’s advertising and consent services.
• Local device storage: some game progress and preferences may also be stored locally on the device.

2 How We Use Information

Information is used only as necessary to:

• run the game and save or restore progress;
• provide friend invitations, social features, tournaments and leaderboards;
• verify purchases and provide purchased coins or features;
• prevent abuse, fraud and unauthorized purchase claims;
• maintain security, reliability and technical operation of the App;
• provide and measure advertisements, apply age-related restrictions and privacy choices, and prevent advertising fraud;
• respond to support and privacy requests.

3 Sharing of Information

We do not sell personal information. Information may be shared only when necessary with service providers that support the App, including:

• Google Play and Google Play Billing for purchase processing and verification;
• Google AdMob and Google’s User Messaging Platform for advertising, measurement, fraud prevention and advertising privacy choices;
• hosting and cloud-service providers used to operate cloud saves, player profiles, social features and game services;
• social-sharing services such as Facebook or WhatsApp only when the player actively chooses to share an invitation link;
• authorities or other parties where disclosure is required by law or necessary to protect users, the App or legal rights.

4 Payments

In-app purchases are processed through Google Play. Payment-card and billing-account information is handled by Google, not by Snack Stack!. We may receive purchase-related identifiers or tokens necessary to verify a transaction and grant the purchased content.

5 Data Storage and Retention

Local game data remains on the device until it is removed through the App, cleared from the device, or the App is uninstalled. Cloud player data is retained while needed to provide the App’s cloud, social and purchase-verification features, or until the player requests deletion. Some minimal transaction or security records may be retained where required by law, fraud-prevention needs, or the policies of the payment provider.

The age-group choice is stored locally and is requested again after 180 days. Google handles information retained by its advertising and consent services under its own privacy policies.

6 Deleting Player Data

Players can request permanent deletion of player data using the privacy/data-deletion option inside the App, where available, or by contacting us at gamesstudio@outlook.com.gr. Deletion removes player data under our control, such as the cloud profile, saved progress and social activity. Records retained independently by Google Play or Google AdMob are governed by Google’s own policies.

7 Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. Data transmitted between the App and online services is sent using secure connections where supported. No system can guarantee absolute security.

8 Children’s Privacy

Snack Stack! is intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly request or collect information from children under 13 for the purpose of identifying them. If we learn that information from a child under 13 has been collected contrary to this policy, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

Before requesting advertisements, the App asks the player to choose an age group. Advertisements are disabled when the player selects “Under 13”, skips the question or prefers not to answer. For players aged 13–17, the App applies age-related protections that disable personalized advertisements. The App also requests advertisements with Google’s most restrictive content-rating setting.

9 Third-Party Services

Third-party services used by the App have their own privacy practices. Google’s privacy policy is available at: policies.google.com/privacy.

Where required, Google’s consent message lets players review and choose how advertising information is used. Players can reopen the available consent options through “AD PRIVACY CHOICES” in the App’s privacy settings and change their age group through “CHANGE AGE GROUP”. Device advertising settings also provide controls over advertising identifiers.

Google describes the information handled by its advertising SDK at Google Mobile Ads SDK data disclosure.

10 Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when the App or applicable requirements change. The updated version will be posted at the same privacy-policy address with a revised effective date.
