Kite Royale ("we", "us", or "the app"), developed by Aditya Dudhal, respects your privacy.
This policy explains what data the app handles and why.
Data we collect and why
Advertising (Google AdMob). Kite Royale shows ads through Google AdMob.
AdMob may collect your device's advertising identifier, IP address, and general device
information in order to serve and measure ads. Your IP address may be used to estimate your
approximate location (roughly city or region level, never a precise GPS
position) so that ads are relevant to your area. Our analytics and leaderboard providers
derive the same coarse, country-or-city-level location in the same way.
Online game services (Unity Gaming Services). To provide online
multiplayer, matchmaking, and leaderboards, the app creates an anonymous
player identifier and transmits gameplay data such as match results, scores, and connection
information. No email address, password, or account sign-in is required to play.
Player display name. The game gives you an automatically generated,
kite-themed nickname on first launch, and you can change it in the Garage. In online
multiplayer this nickname is sent to the other players in your match so that it can be
shown in the player list and above your flyer. Please do not use your real name or any
other personal information as your display name.
Analytics (Google Analytics for Firebase). To understand how the game is
played and where players run into trouble, the app records anonymous gameplay events —
for example that a match started or finished, which arena was used, how long it lasted, and
whether an item was bought with in-game coins. These are tied to an app-generated identifier,
never to your name or email. You can switch this off at any time in the app's settings.
Crash and error reporting (Firebase Crashlytics). When the game crashes or
hits an error, a report is sent to us containing the error message, the technical stack
trace, your device model and operating-system version, and which screen you were on. A copy
is also kept on your device.
Performance samples. The app records how smoothly each match ran (frame
rate and a coarse device class) so we can fix slowdowns on specific devices. No personal
data is attached.
Notifications (Firebase Cloud Messaging). If you leave notifications
enabled, the app registers a device notification token so we can send occasional messages
about new content and events. Turning notifications off in the app's settings stops this.
Remote configuration (Firebase Remote Config). The app downloads settings
values so we can adjust game balance and advertising frequency without an update. This is a
download only — no data about you is sent.
What we do NOT collect
We do not collect your real name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, or precise
GPS location. The only name the game handles is the display nickname you choose for yourself,
described above. We do not sell your personal data.
Children
Kite Royale is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect
personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we
will remove it.
Analytics collection can be turned off inside the app at any time. Notifications can be turned
off in the app's settings or in your device's system settings. You can reset or delete your
advertising identifier from your device's Google settings.
Data retention and how to request deletion
To request deletion of data associated with your device in Kite Royale
(developed by Aditya Dudhal), follow these steps:
So we can locate your data, include your device's Google Advertising ID
(Android: Settings → Google → Ads), or simply state that you played Kite Royale
on your device.
We will process your request and confirm by email within 30 days.
Data that is deleted: any advertising/analytics identifiers and anonymous
gameplay data (match results, scores, and your display nickname) linked to your anonymous
player identifier that are held
by us or forwarded to our service providers (Google AdMob, Unity Gaming Services).
Data that is kept: aggregated, anonymised statistics that can no longer be
linked to your device may be retained for legal and operational purposes. Crash reports and
analytics events held by Google Firebase are retained under Google's own retention policies
and are deleted on request as described above. The on-device copy of the error log, and your
on-device game progress, are removed when you uninstall the app or clear its storage.
Retention period: we do not collect data that identifies you personally.
Advertising identifiers, analytics events and crash reports are retained by Google AdMob,
Google Firebase and Unity Gaming Services under their own policies; deletion requests are
forwarded to them where applicable.
Security
Data transmitted by the app is encrypted in transit, and we rely on the industry-standard
security measures provided by Google and Unity.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an
updated effective date.
