Privacy Policy

1. Scope and Feature-Specific Application

This Policy applies to ECLYM Studio Services that link to this page. Some Services run primarily on-device; others may include ads, purchases, accounts, cloud features, user-generated content, or third-party integrations. The relevant provisions apply only where the corresponding features and processing are actually used. Any additional just-in-time notice, permission prompt, consent form, or product-specific disclosure supplements this Policy. Where applicable law requires more specific information or consent, we will provide it before the relevant processing.

2. Information We May Process

Depending on the Service and features used, we or our service providers may process:

• Device and technical data: device type, operating system, app version, language, IP address, network information, identifiers, crash logs, performance and security diagnostics.
• Usage and gameplay data: settings, progress, scores, achievements, virtual currency, inventory, feature interactions, and saved preferences.
• Advertising and analytics data: advertising identifiers where available and permitted, ad views or interactions, app events, approximate location inferred from IP, and consent signals.
• Transactions: product identifiers, purchase status, subscriptions, receipts or transaction tokens, and entitlements; payment-card details are generally handled by the payment provider.
• Account and communication data: email address, display name, account identifier, sign-in tokens, support requests, and correspondence, if those features are offered.
• Content you choose to provide: documents, photos, videos, audio, text, prompts, scanned images, OCR results, and files, when a feature processes them.
• Social and online activity: public profiles, leaderboard entries, friends, multiplayer activity, messages, and moderation reports, if supported.
• Optional permission-based data: camera, microphone, photo library, files, notifications, or precise location only where a feature requires or requests access and the relevant permissions or other lawful basis are in place.

Some processing may occur entirely on your device without the underlying content being transmitted to ECLYM Studio. Other features may involve transmission to our systems or selected providers. We will not treat the mere listing of a data category here as authorization to collect it.

3. How We Obtain Information

Information may be provided by you, generated through your use of a Service, accessed through device permissions, or received from operating systems, app stores, identity providers, advertising networks, analytics vendors, payment processors, or other integrations used in a particular Service.

4. Purposes and Legal Bases

Where relevant, we process information to operate and improve Services, save progress, provide requested functionality, authenticate accounts, fulfill purchases, provide support, deliver and measure ads, detect fraud and abuse, maintain security, meet legal obligations, and respond to lawful requests. Where GDPR or similar laws apply, the legal basis may be performance of a contract, legitimate interests (subject to applicable balancing and objection rights), consent, or legal obligation, depending on the specific processing. Where consent is required, we request it through an appropriate mechanism and provide applicable withdrawal options.

Examples of purposes and possible legal bases, where the GDPR applies: providing requested functionality, maintaining purchase entitlements, and account access may be necessary to perform a contract; security, fraud prevention, and limited service diagnostics may rely on legitimate interests after an appropriate assessment; optional personalized advertising, non-essential cookies, or optional analytics may require consent; and legally required records may be processed to comply with legal obligations. The applicable basis depends on the actual feature and local law. Where we rely on legitimate interests, you may request information about those interests and object where applicable.

5. Advertising and Monetization

Some Services show banner, interstitial, rewarded, or other ads. Advertising and mediation partners may include Google AdMob, Yandex Mobile Ads / Yandex Advertising Network, or other providers actually integrated into the relevant Service. They may process device identifiers, IP address, approximate location, ad engagement, app activity, and diagnostics to deliver ads, measure performance, manage frequency, prevent fraud, and personalize ads where lawful and permitted. The particular providers vary by Service; not every provider listed is active in every Service.

Provider policies: Google Privacy Policy and Yandex Privacy Policy. Additional providers, if introduced, may require additional notices or updated disclosures.

Where applicable, users may be offered consent management or opt-out mechanisms. Non-personalized advertising may still involve limited technical processing for delivery, security, and measurement.

Where supported by an application, privacy choices may be available in an in-app privacy or consent settings screen. You can also use device-level advertising and permission controls. If an in-app consent control is not available, contact us to request assistance; device controls do not necessarily replace a legally required consent withdrawal mechanism. Advertising partners may act as independent controllers for some processing; consult their policies for their rights-request procedures.

6. Purchases, Subscriptions, and Virtual Items

Services may offer one-time purchases, subscriptions, virtual currencies, consumables, non-consumables, or paid digital features. Transactions are generally processed by the applicable app store or payment provider. We may receive purchase identifiers, entitlement status, transaction tokens, subscription status, and refund or cancellation signals to deliver or restore benefits and prevent fraud. We generally do not receive full payment-card numbers from app stores. Purchase terms and refunds are governed by the applicable store terms, product disclosures, and law.

7. Games, Leaderboards, and Online Features

Where supported, Services may store scores, progress, achievements, inventories, game currency, game settings, multiplayer interactions, public names, and leaderboard rankings locally or through online services. If a Service offers chat, guilds, friend lists, shared content, or public profiles, information you choose to make public may be visible to other users. Moderation and anti-cheat tools may process activity and reports to protect users and Service integrity.

8. Documents, Media, OCR, and On-Device Processing

Some Services may scan or edit documents, photos, video, or audio; convert files; recognize text (OCR); or export content. Access to cameras, microphones, photos, or files is requested only as needed for a feature and subject to platform permissions. Depending on the Service, content may be processed solely on-device or sent to a cloud or third-party processor for a requested feature. If content is transmitted, we will provide any additional disclosure or consent required by law and explain material processing differences through the Service or accompanying notices. You should avoid uploading information you do not have permission to process.

9. AI-Assisted Features

Future or existing Services may offer AI-assisted text, image, audio, document, or other processing. If enabled, user inputs and associated content may be processed by an AI service provider to produce the requested result. The provider, data handling, retention, and any model-training use depend on the specific integration and its settings; any materially relevant details and legally required choices will be disclosed at the point of use or in supplementary notices. Do not submit highly sensitive content unless the feature expressly supports that use and its handling is explained.

10. Accounts, Authentication, Cloud Backup, and Synchronization

Some Services may offer accounts, guest profiles, third-party sign-in, cloud backup, or cross-device synchronization. Such features may process account identifiers, email addresses, authentication tokens, preferences, content, and saved progress. Account creation is not required for Services that do not offer accounts. Account deletion and associated data deletion options will be provided where required by law or platform policy, with exceptions for records that must be retained lawfully.

11. Website, Cookies, and Online Tools

Our websites and web-based tools may use essential cookies, local storage, server logs, and, where implemented, analytics or advertising technologies. Optional technologies will be subject to legally required notice and consent or opt-out controls. Browser settings may allow users to manage cookies. Specific web services may display additional disclosures about cookies, hosting, uploads, or transactions.

12. Permissions and User Controls

Depending on the features available, a Service may request access to camera, microphone, media library, files, notifications, or location. Permission requests are feature-specific and can generally be managed in device settings. Denying access may limit the related feature but should not be treated as consent to unrelated processing. Location access, especially precise location, will be requested only if needed for a relevant feature and subject to applicable requirements.

13. Third-Party Providers and Sharing

Depending on the Service, we may share or make information available to providers of hosting, analytics, crash reporting, advertising, identity, billing, customer support, cloud storage, AI processing, security, and app distribution, as necessary for their roles. We may also disclose information to comply with law, protect rights and safety, or in connection with a lawful business transfer. We do not assume every integration is present in every Service. Some third parties independently determine their processing purposes and provide their own privacy notices. Whether any disclosure constitutes a "sale," "sharing," or targeted advertising under a particular law depends on the actual integration and applicable legal definitions; required choices will be made available where applicable.

We do not disclose personal information to third parties for their own unrelated purposes merely because a possible category appears in this Policy. We do not knowingly sell personal information for money. However, certain advertising disclosures may legally qualify as a “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising even without monetary payment. Where such practices actually occur and the law applies, we will provide the required notice and opt-out method.

14. Data Retention and Deletion

We retain information only as long as reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose, including providing the Service, maintaining accounts or purchases, security, resolving disputes, and legal compliance. Retention periods depend on the data type, Service, and provider. Data stored only on-device may be deleted by using in-app controls or uninstalling the app, subject to device backups. Data held by third parties may follow their own retention rules. Where applicable, users can request deletion of data we control by contacting us below, subject to lawful exceptions.

We determine retention using the purpose of processing, the period the user maintains an account or requests a feature, applicable legal recordkeeping requirements, dispute and security needs, and relevant provider settings. For example, local gameplay data may remain until cleared or the app is removed; support correspondence may be kept while resolving the request and for a reasonable follow-up period; and transaction records may be retained as legally required. Uninstalling an app does not automatically delete information already held by external providers or on remote servers.

If an app offers account creation, the app or an accessible linked page will provide the account-deletion route required by the applicable platform rules. Requests about data we control may also be sent to the contact address below. We respond within applicable legal time limits and explain any permitted exceptions.

15. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to the information we control. No electronic transmission or storage method is guaranteed completely secure. Users should protect their devices, accounts, and credentials.

16. International Data Transfers

Services are distributed internationally, and information may be processed in countries other than the user's own. Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, we or relevant providers will use appropriate legal mechanisms. Local rights and protections may differ by jurisdiction.

For transfers subject to EEA or UK rules, appropriate safeguards may include an adequacy decision or approved contractual safeguards, as applicable to the actual provider and transfer. You may contact us for information about relevant safeguards for processing we control.

17. Children's Privacy

Our Services may have different intended audiences. Where a Service is directed to children or includes children in its audience, applicable child privacy laws and platform policies may require age-appropriate design, parental consent, restricted identifiers, or limits on personalized ads and other processing. We will apply the requirements relevant to that Service; this Policy alone does not replace child-specific safeguards. Parents or guardians may contact us regarding concerns about a child's information.

18. Privacy Rights and Regional Choices

Depending on location and applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, obtain a copy of, or restrict processing of personal information; object to certain processing; withdraw consent; or opt out of certain targeted advertising, sales, or sharing. Rights may be subject to verification and legal exceptions. For information controlled by ECLYM Studio, contact us below. For information controlled independently by an app store or other provider, you may also need to contact that provider. We will not unlawfully discriminate against users for exercising applicable privacy rights.

Residents of the EEA, UK, Switzerland, California, other US states, South Korea, and other jurisdictions may have additional rights or disclosures under applicable law. When specific local notices, complaint channels, authorized-agent processes, or appeals are required, we will provide them as applicable to the Service and processing activity.

For eligible EEA/UK users, you may also complain to your local data protection supervisory authority. Where state privacy laws grant an appeal right, you may appeal our decision by replying to the decision email with “Privacy Appeal” in the subject line; we will provide further instructions and respond as required by applicable law. If legally required, we will honor supported browser-based opt-out preference signals for covered website processing. We do not treat an email request as proof that all third-party controllers have processed a corresponding request.

19. Changes to This Policy

We may revise this Policy as Services, technologies, providers, or legal requirements evolve. We will update the date above and provide additional notice or seek consent when legally required. A newly introduced feature is not automatically covered merely because a general category is mentioned in this Policy; we assess whether the actual processing and disclosures remain accurate.

A general description of a possible future feature does not mean that the feature is active, that particular information is currently collected, or that a future material change can occur without additional notice or consent where required. We will update this Policy or provide supplementary notices when necessary.
