Privacy Policy — App Store Kids

Last updated: October 27, 2025

App Store Kids (the "App") is provided by App Store Kids ("we", "us", or "our"). This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and your choices. This policy is designed to meet Google Play requirements and applicable laws (e.g., GDPR/UK GDPR/CCPA) to the extent they apply.

Replace if needed: App name, company/legal name, and contact details below.

What We Collect

We strive to collect only what is necessary to operate and improve the App.

Device identifiers (e.g., Android Advertising ID) for ads and analytics.
App activity (e.g., screens opened, session duration, feature usage) for analytics and crash diagnostics.
Crash logs and diagnostics to keep the App reliable.
Purchase history (via Google Play Billing) to deliver in‑app purchases and restore them.
Approximate location (derived by ad/analytics SDKs) to comply with regional ad rules and reporting. We do not collect precise GPS.

Data We Do Not Intentionally Collect

We do not seek to collect sensitive categories (e.g., health, biometric, financial account numbers) or user‑generated content beyond what is necessary for gameplay. The App does not request contacts, calendar, SMS, or microphone access.

How We Use Data

Provide core functionality (gameplay, in‑app purchases).
Measure performance and improve features.
Display advertisements (including frequency capping, fraud prevention, and measurement).
Maintain security and prevent abuse.
Comply with legal obligations.

Third‑Party SDKs

We use third‑party services that may process data as independent controllers or our processors:

Google AdMob (ads). Policy: Google Privacy. You may receive personalized or non‑personalized ads depending on your choices and regional consent.
Firebase (Analytics/Crashlytics). Policy: Firebase Privacy & Security.
Google Play Billing (IAP). Policy: Google Privacy.
Optional integrations you may enable (e.g., Social Sharing, Facebook Login). Policies: Meta/Facebook, etc.

Advertising & Consent

In regions where consent is required (e.g., EEA/UK), the App may present a consent dialog to choose personalized vs. non‑personalized ads, and to manage vendor purposes. You can change your choice anytime in the App (if implemented) or by resetting your device's advertising ID.

Personalized ads: use activity and device signals to tailor ads.
Non‑personalized ads: use contextual information only (still uses limited data like frequency capping, fraud prevention).

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with:

Service providers (e.g., hosting, analytics, ads) under appropriate protection.
Authorities when required by law.
Others with your explicit consent.

Retention

We retain data only as long as needed for the purposes above, then delete or anonymize it. Typical analytics and crash data retention ranges from 2 to 26 months, depending on provider settings.

Security

We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect your data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

Children's Privacy

The App is not directed to children under 13. If you believe a child provided data, contact us and we will delete it. If we later enroll in Google Play's Families policies, we will configure SDKs for child‑directed treatment (e.g., AdMob's limited ad serving).

Your Rights & Choices

Consent & Ads: manage consent in‑App (if available) or reset device advertising ID.
OS controls: limit ad tracking in Android settings.
Access/Deletion/Objection: where applicable (e.g., GDPR/CCPA), email us to exercise rights. We may need to verify your request.

International Transfers

Data may be processed in countries other than yours. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses).

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be indicated by updating the "Last updated" date above, and we may notify you in‑App.

Contact Us

If you have questions or requests, contact: [email protected] or by mail at [Your company address].
