Privacy Policy
Ringwarden
Ringwarden is a mobile game published by Edin Zvekic (“we”, “us”). This policy explains what the game collects, what it does not, and what you can do about it. It covers the Android and iOS versions.
The short version
- There is no account and no sign-up. We never ask for your name, email or phone number.
- Your progress stays on your device. We do not upload it and we cannot see it.
- The game shows ads through Google AdMob, and AdMob collects data. That is the only reason any data leaves your device.
- The game is not directed at children under 13.
What we collect ourselves
Nothing. The game has no servers of its own and no analytics of its own. Your levels, stars, best scores and volume setting are written to a single file in the app’s private storage on your device. Uninstalling the game deletes that file and everything in it.
What Google AdMob collects
Ads are served by Google AdMob. To do that, Google’s advertising SDK collects data from your device. What it collects, taken from Google’s own disclosure:
| Device identifiers | Your advertising ID (AAID on Android, IDFA on iOS) and similar identifiers. Used to select ads and to measure them. This is the one category used for tracking. |
|---|---|
| Advertising data | Which ads were shown, and whether they were viewed or tapped. |
| App interactions | Coarse signals about how the app is used, for ad measurement. |
| Approximate location | Country- or city-level location derived from your IP address. Never precise location — the game does not request location permission at all. |
| Diagnostics | Crash and performance information from the ad SDK. |
This data is handled under Google’s Privacy Policy. How Google uses data from apps that use its services is described at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Where and when ads appear
Two places, and nowhere else. A full-screen ad after every tenth level, when a chapter ends. And an optional ad you choose to watch when you lose, in exchange for continuing the level. There are no ads during play.
Leaderboards
If leaderboards are enabled on your platform and you are signed in to Google Play Games or Apple Game Center, the game submits two numbers to that service: your total star count and your endless-mode best score. Nothing else is sent. The leaderboard, the sign-in and the identity behind it belong to Google or Apple, not to us, and are governed by their policies. If you are not signed in, nothing is submitted.
Your choices
- In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, the game asks for your consent before showing personalised ads, using Google’s consent form. You can change your answer at any time: Privacy Settings on the game’s welcome screen.
- On iOS, the game asks for permission to track before any tracking identifier is used. Declining is free of charge and changes nothing about the game — you simply see less relevant ads. You can change it later in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
- On Android, you can reset or delete your advertising ID in Settings → Google → Ads.
- Everywhere, uninstalling the game removes all data stored on your device by it.
Children
Ringwarden is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from them. Its store listing declares an audience of 13 and over. If you believe a child under 13 has provided data through the game, contact us and we will act on it.
Your rights
Under the GDPR and similar laws you have the right to access, correct, delete and port your personal data, and to object to its processing. We hold no personal data about you, so for anything the ad SDK collected these requests go to Google — see Google’s Privacy Policy for how to make them. Withdrawing consent inside the game, as described above, stops personalised advertising immediately.
Data retention and transfers
We retain nothing, because we receive nothing. Data collected by Google is retained under Google’s own schedule and may be processed on servers outside your country, including in the United States, under the safeguards described in Google’s policy.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes in a way that affects you, the date at the top will change and the new version will be published at this address before the change takes effect.
