Privacy Policy

Last Updated: December 4, 2025

"Victory! SteelSquad" is a free-to-download, single-player offline game developed and provided by me, where players participate in competitive matches between two AI-driven factions.

I attach great importance to user privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how I handle and use your information when you use this application.

This Privacy Policy aims to comply with applicable data protection and privacy laws and regulations, including but not limited to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Economic Area (EEA), the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), and other relevant laws in regions where I operate or where this application is accessible.

1. Personal Information Not Directly Collected

This application is an offline, standalone game that does not require account registration. It does not ask you to create a user account, nor does it require you to input your real name, email address, phone number, mailing address, or other personally identifiable information. It also does not collect personal information directly linked to your real identity.

2. Automatically Collected Information

When you use this application, the integrated third-party service, Google AdMob SDK, may automatically collect the following non-personal information, or information considered personal information in certain regions, for the purposes of improving ad performance, analytics, and fraud prevention. The collection and use of this data strictly adhere to the following platform-specific requirements and your authorization:

For Android Devices:

For iOS Devices:

Even if you choose not to receive personalized ads, ad platforms may still use some device information (such as IP address, device type, rough geo-location, etc.) to display non-personalized ads unrelated to you, in order to ensure the basic functionality of ad display.

All user data collected by the Google Mobile Ads SDK is encrypted during transmission using Transport Layer Security (TLS). The collection of this information follows user authorization preferences and is entirely managed and processed by third-party services in accordance with their privacy policies.

I strictly comply with the terms regarding the use of advertising identifiers set by relevant platforms (Google Play and Apple App Store) and respect your privacy choices.

3. Third-Party Services and Their Privacy Policies

To provide advertising services in this application, I integrate the following third-party service:

4. Ad Content Description

This application contains the following types of ads:

Ad content is managed by the Google AdMob platform based on user-authorized preferences. For users in regions subject to specific data protection regulations (e.g., the European Economic Area and the UK), privacy preferences can be enabled at any time via a dedicated in-game privacy settings button, provided the app has an active network connection.

5. How I Use Your Information

I use the information automatically collected through third-party services primarily for the following purposes:

6. Legal Basis for Processing Your Information (Applicable only to EEA and UK Users)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom (UK), the legal basis for processing your personal information depends on the related processing activity and its purpose. For data processed by AdMob for advertising purposes:

When the application is launched for the first time within the European Economic Area (EEA) and the United Kingdom (UK), Google's User Messaging Platform SDK (UMP SDK) will display a Consent Management Platform (CMP) interface to obtain your authorization for personalized ads and related data usage. You can also modify your consent preferences at any time in the game settings.

7. Data Sharing and Disclosure

With your authorization, as described in Section 2 of this policy, I will only share your personal information with the third-party Google AdMob for personalized ad delivery. I will not share your personal information with any other third party beyond Google (AdMob), except in cases of business transfer or legal requirements (see Section 13).

8. Your Data Protection Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (especially if you are an EEA or UK user), you may have specific rights regarding your personal information. These rights may include: access, rectification, erasure of your personal data; restriction or objection to my processing of your data; data portability; and withdrawal of consent, etc.

Since this application does not directly collect and store your personally identifiable information and does not have a user account system, my ability to directly provide you with these rights is very limited. If you wish to exercise rights related to data collected through third-party services (such as Google AdMob), you will usually need to contact the relevant third-party service provider directly to process your data or exercise your rights. I recommend that you review the privacy policies of third-party service providers (e.g., Google AdMob, see the link provided in Section 3) to understand the mechanisms and contact information they provide for exercising data rights. I will assist you in exercising your rights to the extent permitted by applicable law.

9.Protection of Children

Given the updated content rating of this application, and my commitment to protecting children's privacy, I have implemented additional measures to differentiate whether a user is a child and adjust data processing accordingly.

Child Confirmation: Upon the first launch of the application, a pop-up window will be displayed requesting the user to confirm whether they are a child.

Legal Basis for Data Processing:

Non-Child Users: If the user confirms they are not a child, the application will process data using the Google AdMob SDK, based on the user's consent or my legitimate interests, as described in other sections of this policy (e.g., Section 2 and Section 6), to provide advertising services (including personalized ads)

Child Users: If the user is identified as a child (or fails to make a selection), I will endeavor to take all reasonable additional measures to strictly comply with applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the requirements for children's data under the GDPR/UK GDPR:

The application will not serve personalized ads to such users.

The Google AdMob SDK will be configured to a child-friendly setting (e.g., restricted data processing) to ensure that personal information that may be considered collected from children is not used or collected for behavioral targeting advertising or analytics.

Parental Control: This application does not actively collect or process any personally identifiable information from users identified as children. If a parent or guardian discovers that their minor child (especially one identified as a child user in the application) has downloaded and used this application, and they have any questions regarding data processing or wish to exercise relevant rights, please contact me (contact information provided in Section 15). I will provide the necessary assistance and guidance to the extent permitted by applicable law.

10. Data Storage and Security

This application does not actively store or synchronize any user's personally identifiable data, nor does it provide account systems, cloud storage, or similar functions. All data related to ad display and associated statistical analysis is performed and managed by the third-party SDKs listed in Section 3 of this policy. I myself cannot access the raw personal data content independently stored by third parties. I will take reasonable security measures to protect information within my direct control.

11. Data Retention

I collect and process your personal information (including device information, IP address, ad interaction information, and other usage data) through third-party services (Google AdMob) as described in Section 2 of this policy. This data is retained for a period of time to provide, maintain, and improve advertising services, analyze ad performance, prevent fraud, and comply with legal obligations. The specific retention period for data depends on the data type and processing purpose, and follows the data retention policies of the relevant third-party service provider (Google). For more detailed information on how Google retains data, please consult Google's privacy policy (see the link provided in Section 3 of this policy) and the specific data retention policies for its related products.

12. App Permissions Explanation

To ensure the operation of advertising services and basic functions, this application may request the following permissions:

All permission requests will follow the standard operating system procedures and require user authorization, and will not be used for purposes unrelated to the game's core functionality.

This application does not continuously run in the background and will not track your behavior or location without authorization.

13. Business Transfer

In the event of a business transfer such as a merger, acquisition, asset sale, or bankruptcy, your personal information may be transferred as part of the transferred assets. I will endeavor to ensure that the new entity continues to protect and process your personal information in accordance with this policy or by providing you with a new privacy policy.

14. Changes to the Privacy Policy

I may revise this policy based on product feature updates, changes in third-party services used, or adjustments to laws and regulations. The revised version will become effective upon its posting on this page. I recommend that users regularly review this page for the latest changes.
