1. Scope and publisher
Harplix is a sole proprietorship that develops and publishes mobile games. In this policy, “Harplix”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to Harplix, and “Games” means every Harplix mobile game that links to this policy.
2. Overview
Our Games are intended for players aged 13 and over, are supported by advertising, and may offer optional in-app purchases. They do not require a Harplix account. Game progress is currently stored locally on the player’s device.
Harplix does not ask players to provide a name, email address, phone number, contacts, photographs, messages, microphone or camera recordings, health information, or precise GPS location through the Games. Advertising and store providers may automatically process limited device, advertising, transaction and technical information as explained below.
3. Information processed automatically
- Device and advertising identifiers: Google Advertising ID, App Set ID, IP address and similar app-instance identifiers.
- Device and technical information: device model, operating-system version, language, region, time zone, screen characteristics, memory, carrier, network type and similar diagnostics.
- Advertising and app activity: advertisements requested, displayed, viewed, clicked or completed; ad revenue and attribution information; session information; and frequency-capping or fraud-prevention signals.
- Approximate location: country or general region inferred from an IP address. The Games do not request precise GPS location.
4. Advertising
Our Games use Unity LevelPlay (formerly ironSource) for advertising mediation and may display advertisements supplied by Unity Ads and Google AdMob. These providers may process the information described above to deliver and measure advertisements, limit repetition, detect invalid traffic, prevent fraud, report performance and, where permitted and consented to, provide personalized advertising.
Depending on applicable law and device settings, players may receive contextual or non-personalized advertising instead. Declining personalized advertising does not remove advertising from an ad-supported Game.
5. In-app purchases
Some Games may offer optional virtual items or other content through Google Play Billing. Google Play processes the payment. Harplix may receive the purchased product, purchase token, order or transaction identifier, transaction status and related confirmation needed to provide the item, prevent fraud, restore eligible purchases and support refunds. Harplix does not receive or store a player’s complete card number, bank-account details or full billing credentials.
6. How information is used
- To operate, secure and maintain the Games;
- To deliver, mediate and measure advertisements;
- To apply consent and advertising preferences;
- To detect fraud, abuse and invalid advertising traffic;
- To complete purchases and provide purchased virtual items; and
- To understand technical and aggregate performance and improve stability.
7. Service providers
Unity Technologies provides Unity LevelPlay/ironSource and Unity Ads. See Unity’s Game Player and App User Privacy Policy and Privacy Policy.
Google provides Google Play services, the Advertising ID, Google AdMob and Google Play Billing. See the Google Privacy Policy, Google’s partner-services information and AdMob privacy information.
These providers may act as processors or independent controllers depending on the activity. Their own notices describe their processing, retention and international transfers. Harplix does not currently integrate Firebase, Crashlytics, AppsFlyer, Adjust or a standalone behavioural-analytics service in the Games covered by this launch policy.
8. Advertising and privacy choices
Android provides controls for resetting or deleting the Advertising ID and limiting ad personalization under the device’s privacy and advertising settings. Where legally required, the Game will request consent before enabling personalized advertising. Players in applicable US states may request to opt out of processing considered a “sale”, “sharing” or targeted advertising by contacting us or using an in-game privacy control when available.
9. Legal bases for EEA and UK players
Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, processing may rely on consent for personalized advertising and other consent-based activities; performance of a contract for delivering requested purchases; compliance with legal obligations; and legitimate interests in operating, securing, debugging and protecting the Games and delivering contextual advertising, subject to applicable law and player rights.
10. Retention and security
Harplix retains information under its control only for as long as reasonably needed for the purposes described above, to resolve disputes, prevent fraud and comply with legal obligations. Unity, Google and app stores apply their own retention practices. Data reported by the integrated advertising SDKs is encrypted in transit. No transmission or storage system can be guaranteed completely secure.
11. International processing
Unity, Google and their service providers may process information outside the player’s country. Where required, they and Harplix use recognized safeguards for international transfers as described in the applicable provider policies.
12. Children’s privacy
The Games covered by this policy are not directed to children under 13 and are not enrolled as child-directed or Designed for Families products. Harplix does not knowingly request personal information directly from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information to Harplix, contact us so that we can review the matter and take appropriate action.
13. Privacy rights and data requests
Depending on where a player lives, they may have rights to request access, correction, deletion or restriction, to object or withdraw consent, to obtain portability, or to complain to a relevant authority. Because the Games do not currently use Harplix accounts, we may have limited information that can be associated with a person. We may need details such as the Game name, platform, approximate request date and a relevant device or advertising identifier to locate records or coordinate a request with a provider.
Send privacy, deletion or advertising-choice requests to gamesprivacy@harplix.com. Please do not send passwords, payment-card details or unrelated sensitive information.
14. Changes
We may update this policy when our Games, SDKs or legal obligations change. The date at the top will identify the current version. Material changes will receive additional notice where required.
