Privacy Policy – Candy Pop Quest

Last updated: 2025

Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how data is collected and used inside the game Candy Pop Quest.

1. Information We Collect

The game primarily collects usage and technical data that does not directly identify you as an individual. However, some partners such as Google AdMob may treat certain identifiers (for example, advertising IDs) as personal data under laws such as the GDPR.

The data we may collect includes:

• Usage statistics through Firebase Analytics.
• Advertising identifiers and related data through Google AdMob.
• Crash reports and technical diagnostics (e.g. Firebase Crashlytics).

We do NOT intentionally collect:

• Your name, email address, phone number, or home address.
• Precise GPS location data (only coarse location may be inferred by Google for fraud prevention and measurement).

2. Regional Differences and User Consent

Candy Pop Quest is played in different countries with different privacy laws.

• In certain regions such as the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom, we are required to ask for your consent before using data for analytics and personalized advertising.
• In these regions, we use Google’s User Messaging Platform (UMP) to request and store your consent choices for analytics and advertising.
• In other regions, Google AdMob and Firebase may operate under different legal bases, and personalized ads may be shown without an in-app consent dialog, as permitted by local regulations.

When consent is required (for example in the EEA/UK), you will see a consent screen in the app:

• If you tap “Allow”:
  • Analytics will be enabled.
  • Personalized ads may be shown where supported.
• If you tap “Decline”:
  • Analytics will be disabled.
  • Only non-personalized ads (NPA) will be shown.

3. Advertising (Google AdMob)

This game uses Google AdMob to display ads and keep the game free to play.

• Google may collect usage and technical data (such as advertising identifiers, app usage events, and coarse location) to deliver, measure, and improve ads and to prevent fraud and abuse.
• In regions where consent is required, your choice on the consent screen controls whether ads are personalized or non-personalized (NPA).
• In other regions, personalized ads may be shown by default, as allowed by local laws and Google’s policies.

For more details on how Google uses data from apps like this one, you can review Google’s own documentation: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites .

4. Analytics (Firebase Analytics)

We use Firebase Analytics to understand how players use the game, improve gameplay balance, fix bugs, and enhance the overall experience.

• When analytics is enabled, anonymous usage statistics and events related to gameplay may be collected.
• When you decline consent in regions where consent is required, analytics is disabled and no analytics events are sent from your device.

We do not use Firebase Analytics to collect personally identifiable information (PII).

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell your data.

We may share limited data with the following third-party service providers, strictly for the purposes described above:

• Google AdMob – for displaying and measuring ads.
• Firebase services (such as Analytics and Crashlytics) – for analytics, crash reporting, and app diagnostics.

These third-party services handle data in accordance with their own privacy policies.

6. Data Security

All communication between the app and external services uses industry-standard encrypted connections (e.g. HTTPS).

We apply reasonable technical measures to protect data against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse.

7. User Choices and Rights

• In regions where a consent dialog is shown, you can choose “Allow” or “Decline” on the in-app privacy & consent screen.
• In some versions of the game, you may also change your choice later from the in-game Settings screen (if provided).
• If you switch from Allow to Decline in those regions:
  • Analytics will be disabled.
  • Only non-personalized ads (NPA) will be shown.
• If you switch from Decline to Allow:
  • Analytics will be enabled.
  • Personalized ads may be used where supported.

8. Children’s Privacy

Candy Pop Quest is designed as a family-friendly game. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If you believe that your child has provided us with personal information by mistake, please contact us and we will take steps to remove such information.

9. Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page and may also be reflected in the in-app privacy section.

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your data.
