Privacy Policy

01. Overview & Scope

Welcome to PixelCraftin Studio ("we", "us", or "our"). We are committed to safeguarding the privacy and security of users ("you" or "player") who interact with our mobile software applications and video games distributed via the Google Play Store.

By downloading, installing, accessing, or playing any app or game published by PixelCraftin Studio, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms outlined herein, please do not install or use our products.

02. Information We Collect

Depending on the specific app or game you use, we may process different categories of information:

A. Information You Provide Directly

• Customer Support Inquiries: If you contact us via email (e.g., at pixelcraftinstudio@gmail.com) for bug reports, feedback, or refund inquiries, we receive your email address and any message content you provide.
• User Settings & Preferences: In-app settings (such as sound toggle, theme selection, or control schemes) are typically saved locally on your device.

B. Automatically Collected Technical Data

When our applications and games run, standard technical diagnostics may be collected automatically by our integrated libraries or Google Play:

• Device model, manufacturer, and screen resolution
• Operating system version (e.g., Android 12, 13, 14, 15)
• App version and build number
• Crash logs, stack traces, and performance metrics (e.g., frame rate drops, memory usage)
• IP address (used to infer broad non-precise geographic region such as country/city)
• Google Advertising ID (AAID) — for ad-supported games/apps, subject to your Android advertising preferences.

03. Game Data, Progress & Cloud Saves

For games developed by PixelCraftin Studio:

• Local Game Saves: By default, your level progress, unlocked items, high scores, and virtual inventory are stored locally on your device's private application storage.
• Google Play Games Services: If a game supports Google Play Games Services, you may choose to log in with your Google Play Games account to sync achievements, post scores to global leaderboards, and enable cloud save backup across devices. Your Google Play Games profile ID is handled under Google's Privacy Policy.

04. Android Device Permissions

Our applications and games only request runtime permissions when strictly necessary for specific features:

You can review and revoke any granted permissions at any time via your device's Settings > Apps > [App/Game Name] > Permissions.

05. Third-Party Services & SDKs

To provide robust backend functionality, analytics, and monetization, our Google Play apps and games may integrate trusted third-party SDKs that operate under their respective privacy policies:

• Google Play Services: Core Android system integration, authentication, and security. Google Privacy Policy
• Google Play Games Services: Achievements, cloud saves, and leaderboards. Google Games Privacy
• Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads): Displays banner, interstitial, or rewarded video advertisements in free versions. AdMob Privacy & Terms
• Firebase (Crashlytics & Analytics): Anonymized crash reporting and aggregate app performance analytics. Firebase Privacy Policy

06. In-App Purchases & Billing

Certain apps or games may offer digital products, subscriptions, or virtual consumable items (e.g. ad removal, extra themes, game currency).

All financial transactions are processed entirely through the Google Play In-App Billing System. PixelCraftin Studio never collects, processes, or stores your credit card number, bank details, or billing address. All purchase records are tied to your Google Play account.

07. Advertising & Analytics Policy

In free versions of our games or utilities, we may display third-party advertisements to fund continuous development.

• Personalized Ads: Depending on your consent and location, ad networks may use the Google Advertising ID to show relevant ads.
• Non-Personalized Ads: You can opt out of personalized ads at any time on your Android device by visiting Settings > Google > Ads > Reset or Delete advertising ID.
• No Ads Options: Most of our titles offer a one-time purchase or premium edition that completely removes all third-party advertisements.

08. Children's Privacy (COPPA / GDPR-K / Families Policy)

PixelCraftin Studio complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), GDPR-K, and Google Play Families Policies.

• Unless explicitly categorized in the Google Play "Designed for Families" program, our general apps and games are intended for general audiences (ages 13 and older).
• For any titles targeting children or mixed audiences, we strictly disable interest-based behavioral advertising, do not collect personal identifiers from children without verified parental consent, and only use certified family-friendly ad SDKs.
• If a parent or guardian becomes aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at pixelcraftinstudio@gmail.com, and we will promptly delete such information.

09. Data Retention & User Data Deletion Requests

We retain personal information (such as email support correspondence) only for as long as necessary to resolve user requests and fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy.

10. Security of Your Data

The security of your information is paramount to us. We implement industry-standard encryption protocols (HTTPS/TLS) for data in transit and adhere to secure Android application development practices. While no method of electronic transmission over the Internet is 100% secure, we continuously update our software to protect against unauthorized access.

11. Your Privacy Rights (GDPR / CCPA / DPDP)

Depending on your geographic jurisdiction, you hold specific privacy rights, including:

• Right to Access: You can request confirmation of whether we process any personal data concerning you.
• Right to Rectification: You can request corrections to inaccurate personal data.
• Right to Erasure / Deletion: You have the right to request deletion of your personal data.
• Right to Restrict or Object to Processing: You can limit how we use your data or opt out of analytics.
