Privacy Policy
Last Updated: June 16, 2026Afloton Private Limited ("we," "our," or "us") is dedicated to protecting the privacy of our players. This Privacy Policy details the data handling practices for the Shadow Ronin mobile game (the "Game") to ensure full compliance with Google Play Store Policies, Google AdMob Policies, GDPR, and COPPA.
Crucial Summary: Shadow Ronin operates strictly as a local-first application. We do NOT collect, transmit, or store any of your personal information, game progress, or purchase details on our own servers. Our third-party ad provider (Google AdMob) processes limited device identifiers to serve ads, which are strictly regulated under Child Safety guidelines.
1. Information We Process
Since we do not operate game servers, we do not collect personal information like your name, email address, or phone number. However, third-party services integrated into the Game may automatically gather limited technical metadata:
- Device Identifiers: Mobile advertising identifiers (such as the Android Advertising ID or iOS IDFA) used by AdMob to deliver ads.
- Usage Data: In-game metrics (such as highest running scores, coins collected, character unlocks, and sessions played) saved locally on your device's memory.
- Diagnostics: Anonymous crash reports and performance statistics to help us fix bugs and optimize rendering frame rates.
2. How We Use Information
The limited information processed is used exclusively for:
- Displaying advertising to monetize the free-to-play features of the Game.
- Storing your unlocked characters, weapons, hats, and highest records locally on your device.
- Troubleshooting technical errors, Native Method Channel crashes, and audio rendering issues.
3. Third-Party Integrations
We work with trusted third-party partners who process data strictly under their own privacy policies. You can read their data terms here:
| Partner | Purpose | Privacy Link |
|---|---|---|
| Google Play Services | Age verification signals, Cloud saves, Achievements | Google Privacy Policy |
| Google AdMob | Contextual & Personalized Ad delivery | Google Ads Terms |
4. Children's Privacy (COPPA & Play Age Signals)
We take children's online safety very seriously. The Game complies with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), GDPR-K, and regional child safety laws:
- Play Age Signals API Integration: The Game automatically queries the Google Play Services API to identify if the account belongs to a supervised minor or a child.
- Automated Child-Safe Mode: If a child/minor is detected, the Game immediately activates and locks **Child-Safe Mode**.
- Ad Restrictions: Under Child-Safe Mode, behavioral tracking and personalized ad auctions are completely disabled. We transmit child-directed tags to AdMob, forcing the SDK to only load non-personalized, family-appropriate ads rated "G".
- Consent Supervision: If a parent or guardian rejects consent through the system supervision, ads are disabled entirely inside the game session.
5. European GDPR Compliance & User Consent
If you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the Game displays a consent form utilizing Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) before serving ads:
- You have the right to refuse consent for personalized ads, in which case only contextual, non-personalized ads are shown.
- You can easily review or change your consent status at any time in the in-game Settings menu.
6. Data Security and Offline Operation
Because your game saves are stored completely offline using local device storage (`SharedPreferences` on Android, `NSUserDefaults` on iOS), your data is as secure as your physical mobile device. We cannot access, share, or sell your local game saves or inventory items.
