1. Who we are and what this policy covers

HARPLIX is a sole proprietorship based in India. “HARPLIX”, “we” and “our” mean the publisher of our games. This policy applies to every mobile game published by HARPLIX, including games we release after the date above, and to support and privacy communications about them, unless a game shows you a different privacy policy. Browsing harplix.com is covered separately by our Website Privacy Policy.

Our games are built the same way, so one policy describes all of them. It covers the full set of practices and partners used across our games; an individual game may use only some of them (for example, not every game offers purchases or reminders). We update this policy when we add a new kind of information use or a new partner, not each time we release a game that works the same way.

2. Information we handle

Stored on your device

Our games save your progress, in-game currency and items, settings, privacy choices and, where we ask, your answer to an age confirmation. This information stays on your device and is not sent to HARPLIX.

Collected through the services in our games

Our games use advertising, consent and app-store services. Depending on the game, your region, your device settings and your choices, these services may collect:

• Device identifiers: the Android advertising ID, app-set ID and identifiers created by the service's software.
• Network and approximate location: IP address and the country or general area derived from it. We do not collect precise (GPS) location.
• Device information: device model, operating system and version, language, screen and connection type.
• Ad and game interactions: ad requests, views, clicks and completed rewarded ads, plus signals used to measure ads, limit how often they appear and prevent fraud.
• Diagnostics: crash and error information about the game and its services.
• Purchases: product, order and transaction identifiers and purchase status, needed to deliver and restore what you bought.
• Privacy choices: your consent or opt-out choices and related regional signals.

Optional features in some games

• Reminders: some games can show an occasional local notification, for example when a daily gift is ready. The game asks before turning them on, and Android asks for notification permission. Reminders are scheduled on your phone: no account, push token or server is used, and nothing about them is sent to HARPLIX. Turn them off anytime in the game's Settings or in Android Settings → Notifications.
• Ratings: some games may show Google Play's in-app review card. Google runs the card and handles any rating or review you choose to leave under its own terms; we do not learn who you are or whether you rated.

Our games do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, messages, microphone, camera, precise location or date of birth. If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include.

3. How we use information

• To run the games, save progress and provide their features.
• To deliver and restore in-app purchases.
• To show, measure and limit ads, and to apply your privacy choices.
• To show reminders you have allowed.
• To detect and prevent fraud, invalid ad traffic, cheating and misuse.
• To find and fix crashes and other technical problems.
• To answer support and privacy requests and meet legal obligations.

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we rely on your consent for personalized advertising and related device access; on performance of a contract for the features and purchases you request; on legal obligations; and on our legitimate interests in security, fraud prevention, support and keeping the games working, where those interests are not overridden by your rights. You can withdraw consent at any time; this does not affect earlier processing.

4. Advertising and your choices

Our games are free to play and supported by ads. Ads are delivered through Unity LevelPlay, which selects ads from partner networks such as Google AdMob and Unity Ads. How ads are personalized depends on where you are:

Even non-personalized ads use some information, such as your IP address and device type, to deliver ads, count views and prevent fraud. Rewarded ads are always optional: the game shows the reward before you choose to watch, and the reward is given when the ad is completed. We ask our ad partners to limit ads to content suitable for a teen audience where they support that setting. Declining personalized ads never stops you from playing.

HARPLIX does not sell personal information for money. Sharing information with advertising partners may still count as a “sale”, “sharing” or targeted advertising under some US state laws, which is why you can opt out as described above.

5. Purchases

When a game offers optional digital purchases, such as removing ads, the app store processes payment. For our Android games this is Google Play Billing. We receive transaction details needed to deliver or restore items, prevent fraud and help with purchase questions. We never receive your app-store password or full payment-card details. Google Play's payment and refund rules apply.

6. Partners and disclosures

These are the partners used across our games. Not every game uses every partner, and we update this list whenever we add or remove one. Partners process information as described in their own policies; some act on our instructions, others independently.

• Google: Google AdMob (ads), User Messaging Platform (privacy messages), Google Play (distribution and billing) and Google Play In-App Review (rating card). Google Privacy Policy · How Google uses information from partner apps
• Unity: Unity LevelPlay (ad mediation, including ironSource Ads) and Unity Ads. Unity Game Player & App User Privacy Policy

We may also disclose information where required by law, to protect people, our games or our rights, or as part of a business transfer, subject to applicable law. We do not share information with data brokers.

7. Age requirements and young players

All HARPLIX games are intended for players aged 16 and over and are not directed to children under 16. Where our games show a regional privacy message, they first ask you to confirm you are 16 or older; an under-16 answer blocks access to the game and no ad requests are made. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 16. If we learn that we have, we will delete it.

An app store's content rating describes the game's content and is separate from this age requirement. If you are under the age of legal majority where you live, use our games with the permission of a parent or guardian. A parent or guardian who believes a child has used a HARPLIX game can contact gamesprivacy@harplix.com with the game name.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• access, correct, delete or get a copy of your personal information;
• object to or restrict certain processing, and withdraw consent at any time;
• opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information and targeted advertising;
• in India, rights under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 as its provisions come into force, including access, correction and erasure, grievance redressal and nominating someone to exercise your rights;
• appeal our decision, or complain to a data protection authority.

Email gamesprivacy@harplix.com with the game name and your request, or follow our data-request guide. Because we do not run player accounts, we may ask for reasonable details to identify relevant records or to verify an authorized agent. To appeal a decision, reply to our response with the subject “Privacy Appeal”. We will never refuse ordinary gameplay because you exercised a privacy right.

9. Retention, security and international transfers

Information saved on your device remains until you clear the game's storage or uninstall it, subject to your device's backup settings. We keep support emails and other information under our control only as long as needed to resolve requests, meet legal obligations, prevent fraud and handle disputes, then delete or anonymize it. Our partners keep information according to their own retention policies, and some transaction records must be kept by law.

We use reasonable safeguards, but no service can guarantee complete security. HARPLIX is based in India, and our partners may process information in other countries. Where the law requires safeguards for international transfers, appropriate mechanisms are used.

10. Deleting your data

You can remove all game data stored on your device by clearing the game's storage or uninstalling it. For information held by HARPLIX or our partners, see Privacy & data requests.

11. Games covered

This policy covers every mobile game published by HARPLIX, on Google Play under the developer name HARPLIX and on any other store, including games released after the date above, unless a game shows you a different privacy policy. Each game links to this page from its settings and its store listing. You can see our current games at harplix.com/games.

12. Changes and contact

We update this policy when we add a new kind of information use or a new partner, or when legal requirements change, and the date at the top shows the current version. Where required, we will give additional notice of material changes.
