Joy Forge Games

Introduction

Welcome to the Privacy Policy page of Joy Forge Games. We build engaging mobile games and applications for your entertainment. This page is used to inform players regarding our policies with the collection, use, and disclosure of Personal Information of anyone using our services.

If you choose to play our games, then you agree to the collection and use of information in relation to this policy. The information that we or third parties collect is used for providing and improving our services. We will not use or share your information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy.

The terms used in this Privacy Policy have the same meanings as in our Terms and Conditions, which are accessible in our games unless otherwise defined in this Privacy Policy.

Information Collection & Use

For a better experience, while using our games, we may require you to provide us with certain personally identifiable information. However, Joy Forge Games does not directly collect, store, or transmit any personal data (such as your name, email address, physical address, or phone number) through our games, unless you explicitly contact us via support channels.

Our games utilize standard third-party Software Development Kits (SDKs) and services that may automatically collect certain non-personally identifiable information. This metadata is collected to facilitate advertisement delivery, analyze game performance, support save-state synchronization, and authenticate player profiles.

Note on Device Identifiers

Third-party advertising partners and analytics frameworks may automatically capture your mobile device's unique Advertising ID (e.g., Google Advertising ID - GAID, or Apple Identifier for Advertisers - IDFA), IP address, device model, operating system version, and general usage statistics.

Third-Party Services

The game does use third-party services that may collect information used to identify you. Below are the links to the privacy policies of the third-party service providers used by our games:

Google Play Services Policy
Enables online leaderboard sync, cloud game-saves, achievements, and player authentication.
AdMob (Google) Policy

Log Data & Cookies

Log Data: We want to inform you that whenever you use our Service, in case of an error in the game, we or third-party service providers collect data and information (through third-party products) on your phone called Log Data. This Log Data may include information such as your device Internet Protocol ("IP") address, device name, operating system version, the configuration of the app when utilizing our Service, the time and date of your use of the Service, and other statistics.

Cookies: Cookies are files with a small amount of data that are commonly used as anonymous unique identifiers. These are sent to your browser from the websites that you visit and are stored on your device's internal memory.

This Service does not explicitly use these "cookies". However, our games may use third-party code and libraries that use "cookies" to collect information and improve their services. You have the option to either accept or refuse these cookies and know when a cookie is being sent to your device. If you choose to refuse our cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of this Service.

Security

We value your trust in providing us your Information, thus we are striving to use commercially acceptable means of protecting it. But remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

Children's Privacy

Protecting the safety of children online is of paramount importance to us. Our services are generally designed for a broad audience. We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under 13 years of age (or the relevant age threshold under local laws).

In the case we discover that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we immediately delete this from our servers. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so that we will be able to take the necessary actions.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Thus, you are advised to review this page periodically for any changes. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. These changes are effective immediately after they are posted on this page.
