Privacy Policy
This policy explains what data the game "Real or Fake: Pawn Shop Deals" (the "Game") uses, why, and what choices you have. The Game is made by BRIGHT CODE HOLDINGS S.R.L. ("we", "us"), a company in Romania. We are the data controller.
1. The short version
- You do not need an account to play.
- Your game progress is saved on your device.
- We use some data to run the Game, show ads, handle purchases and make the Game better.
- We do not sell your name or contact details. We do not ask for them.
2. Data we use
Game progress. Your progress is stored on your device. If you use Apple Game Center, iCloud or Google Play Games, your save may sync through them. Apple and Google handle that data under their own privacy policies.
Analytics. The Game may send us game events, such as which level you reached or when a sale happened. It may also send your device type, app version and country-level region. We use this to fix bugs and improve the Game.
Ads. Ad partners, such as Google AdMob, may collect your device's advertising ID, IP address and basic device data. They use it to show ads, count them, and stop fraud. If you agree, they may also use it to show ads that fit your interests.
Purchases. Payments go through the App Store or Google Play. We never see your card details. We use a purchase service, such as RevenueCat, to check what you bought and give you your items or subscription. It gets a random user ID and your purchase history.
Notifications. If you allow it, the Game sends push notifications, for example to tell you that a wait is over. This uses a device token. You can turn notifications off in your device settings.
Contact. If you email us, we get your email address and what you write. We use it only to answer you.
3. Why we use it (legal bases)
If you are in the EU, EEA or UK, the law asks us to say why we use data:
- To run the Game and give you what you bought (to perform our contract with you).
- To fix bugs, stop cheating and fraud, and improve the Game (our legitimate interests).
- To show personalized ads and send notifications (your consent).
- To keep records the law requires, such as tax records (legal duty).
4. Ads and your choices
In the EU, EEA and UK, the Game asks for your consent before it shows personalized ads. If you say no, you may still see ads, but they will not be based on your interests. You can change your choice later in the Game's settings where this is offered.
You can also reset your advertising ID, or ask apps not to track you or show interest-based ads, in your device settings:
- iPhone and iPad: Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking.
- Android: Settings > Privacy > Ads (names can differ by phone).
5. Who we share data with
We share data only with companies that help us run the Game. These include ad networks (such as Google AdMob), analytics tools, a purchase service (such as RevenueCat), and Apple and Google. They must protect your data. Some of them are outside the EU. When data leaves the EU, we rely on legal safeguards, such as the EU's standard contract clauses. We may also share data if the law requires it.
6. How long we keep it
We keep data only as long as we need it for the reasons above. Analytics data is kept in a form that does not name you. Purchase records are kept as long as tax law requires. Data on your device stays there until you delete the Game.
7. Children
The Game is not made for children under 13. In the EEA, where the law sets a higher age, this is 16. We do not knowingly collect data from children under these ages. If you think a child has given us data, please contact us and we will delete it.
8. Your rights
If you are in the EU, EEA or UK, you have the right to:
- ask for a copy of your data;
- ask us to fix or delete your data;
- object to how we use your data, or ask us to limit it;
- take back your consent at any time;
- complain to a data protection authority. In Romania, this is ANSPDCP (the National Supervisory Authority for Personal Data Processing). You can also go to the authority in your own country.
To use these rights, email us. Because you do not have an account, we may ask for an ID from the Game or your device so we can find your data.
9. Security
We take reasonable steps to keep data safe. But no system is perfectly safe.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. We will change the date at the top. If the change is important, we will tell you in the Game or on this page.
