We may receive limited transaction-related information, such as purchase status, transaction identifiers, product purchased, and information necessary to verify or restore purchases.

If you contact us directly, for example by email, we may collect the information you provide, such as your email address, the content of your message, and any information you voluntarily include in your communication.

3. Advertising and Third-Party Services

Our Games may display advertisements provided by third-party advertising services.

We may use Google AdMob to provide and measure advertisements in our Games. Google and its advertising partners may collect and process information such as advertising identifiers, device information, IP address, approximate location derived from IP address, and information about ad interactions, depending on applicable settings, consent status, region, and advertising configuration.

Advertising may be personalized or non-personalized depending on applicable laws, user consent, device settings, and the configuration of our Games and advertising services.

Google may process information in accordance with its own privacy policies and terms.

We may also use third-party services for purposes such as analytics, crash reporting, app performance monitoring, authentication, cloud services, or other technical functions. These third-party providers may process information on our behalf or independently according to their own privacy policies.

We do not sell your personal information for money.

4. Advertising Choices and Consent

Depending on your location and applicable laws, you may be provided with choices regarding personalized advertising and the processing of your information.

Where required, we or our service providers may request your consent before using certain information for personalized advertising or other purposes.

You may also be able to control certain advertising preferences through your device settings or through consent and privacy options presented within the Game or by the relevant advertising provider.

Changing your device advertising settings may affect the types of advertisements you receive, but it may not prevent advertisements from being displayed.

5. In-App Purchases

Some of our Games may offer optional in-app purchases.

Purchases made through Google Play are processed by Google Play under Google's applicable terms and policies. We do not receive or store your complete payment card or bank account details.

We may receive information necessary to verify a transaction, provide purchased content, restore purchases, or prevent fraudulent transactions.

For information about how Google processes payment and transaction information, please review Google's applicable privacy policy and Google Play terms.

6. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We may share information in the following circumstances:

We may share information with trusted third-party service providers that help us operate, maintain, analyze, and improve our Games. These providers may include advertising, analytics, crash reporting, cloud hosting, and technical service providers.

We may disclose information if required to do so by applicable law, regulation, legal process, or valid governmental request.

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to detect, investigate, prevent, or address fraud, security issues, abuse, illegal activity, or threats to the rights, property, or safety of our users, our Games, or others.

If Barely Working Games is involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

We do not sell personal information to third parties for their own direct monetary gain.

7. Data Retention

We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide our Games, maintain records, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, prevent fraud, comply with legal obligations, and protect our legitimate interests.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information and the purpose for which it was collected.

When information is no longer required, we may delete it, anonymize it, or securely dispose of it, subject to applicable legal requirements.

8. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children's Privacy

Our Games are generally intended for a general audience and are not specifically directed toward children unless a particular Game is clearly identified as being designed for children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children in violation of applicable laws.

If a Game is intended for children or includes children among its target audience, we will comply with applicable children's privacy laws and Google Play's Families policies, including applicable requirements regarding advertising, data collection, and third-party services.

Where required, advertising shown to children or users of unknown age will be handled in accordance with applicable laws and Google Play's Families policies.

If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us in a manner that violates applicable law, please contact us. We will review the request and take appropriate action where required.
