Arrow Escape Privacy Policy

Effective from the first Google Play release (version 1.0.0 and later). Applies to the Arrow Escape app for Android.

Who we are

Arrow Escape is a TIVEXA game, developed and published by 2852483 Alberta Inc., Alberta, Canada ("we", "us"). For any privacy question or request, email admin.tivexa@protonmail.com.

Summary

We do not collect personal information. Arrow Escape has no account or sign-in, no analytics of its own, no in-app purchases, and we operate no server for it. Your game progress stays on your device.

Arrow Escape is free and supported by ads provided by Google AdMob: a banner ad, an occasional interstitial ad, and an optional rewarded ad for extra lives. Google's software collects some data when ads are requested and shown (see Ads). You can turn ads off from the app's "Ads and privacy choices" screen where your region offers it; the game plays the same with ads off. Arrow Escape has no hints for sale; the only thing an ad can give you is extra lives, and restarting is always free.

Information stored on your device

To remember your progress, Arrow Escape stores the following in its own private storage on your device:

This is kept in the app's private storage (its web storage and a private Android settings file), which other apps cannot read. It is not sent to us or to anyone else. "Reset progress" in the Menu erases the game save; uninstalling or clearing the app's storage (Settings > Apps > Arrow Escape > Storage > Clear storage) also removes it.

What we do not collect

We do not collect or access your name, email address, contacts, precise location, photos or files, camera or microphone. Arrow Escape contains no analytics or tracking software of its own. The only third-party software that can collect data is Google's advertising and consent software described below.

Ads

Which ads. A banner below the cube, separated from the game controls; an occasional full-screen interstitial ad only at a natural level break after about three minutes of active play, with a 10-second warning first; and an optional rewarded ad that you can choose to watch when you run out of lives to receive five more. Watching a rewarded ad is always your choice: you can restart the level for free instead. There are no in-app purchases.

Who. Ads are provided by Google AdMob (Google LLC / Google Ireland Limited, depending on your region). When an ad is requested and shown, Google's software collects and shares, for advertising, measurement (analytics) and fraud prevention:

Google's software encrypts this data in transit. How Google uses it is explained in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and the Google Privacy Policy; the SDK's data practices are listed at Google's AdMob data disclosure. Depending on the consent choices you make, Google and its advertising partners may show you personalized or non-personalized ads. We set Google's ad content limit to a teen rating, because Arrow Escape is meant for players aged 13 and over.

Consent and your choices. Arrow Escape uses Google's consent software (the User Messaging Platform). When ads are on, the app asks Google at start-up whether consent is needed in your region; this request goes to Google. Where the law requires your consent (for example in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and some US states), Google's consent form is shown before any ad is requested. You can change your choices at any time from "Ads and privacy choices" in the app, where your region requires it, and you can turn the banner off entirely there. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in your Android settings. Turning ads off stops new ad requests but does not delete data Google already received.

What we receive. We do not receive your advertising ID or other identifiers from these ads. We receive aggregated reports from Google about ad performance (for example how many ads were shown and the resulting earnings); they do not identify you.

Permissions and internet

Arrow Escape's own game code does not send or receive data over the internet, and the game plays fully offline. The app includes Android's Internet and network-state permissions, which Google's advertising software requires, and the vibration permission for optional haptic feedback. These do not give access to your contacts, photos, files, camera, microphone or precise location. The game's web view loads only files bundled inside the app.

Android backup

Arrow Escape opts out of Android app backup, so your progress is not included in device backups and does not transfer to a new device.

Google Play

Arrow Escape is distributed through Google Play. When you download or update it, Google processes information such as your Google account and device details under the Google Privacy Policy; this is Google's processing, not ours. If you have allowed your device to share usage and diagnostics data with Google, Google may give us crash and performance statistics in the Google Play Console. We use them only to find and fix problems, and they do not include your name or contact details.

If you contact us

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include in your message. We use it only to reply and to fix the problem you report. We do not sell it or share it with anyone, apart from our email provider, which stores our mailbox. We keep support emails only as long as needed to handle your request, and you can ask us to delete your messages at any time.

Children

Arrow Escape is intended for players aged 13 and over and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children.

Security

Your progress never leaves your device through the game itself. It is protected by Android's app sandbox, which keeps it private to Arrow Escape. Data collected by Google's advertising software is handled by Google as described above.

This website

This website is hosted on GitHub Pages. We do not use cookies, analytics or tracking on it. GitHub, as the host, may process technical information such as your IP address in its server logs under the GitHub General Privacy Statement.

Changes to this policy

If Arrow Escape's data practices change, we will update this policy before releasing that version and show the new effective date at the top of this page.
