Privacy Policy

Effective and last updated:

Gunorbit (“the Game”) is a mobile game for iOS, iPadOS and Android published by Codenova Tech (“Codenova”, “we”, “us”). This policy explains what information the Game collects, why, who it is shared with, and the choices you have.

The short version
  • There is no account. We never ask for your name, email, phone number or password.
  • Your progress (coins, guns, upgrades, season, settings) is stored only on your device.
  • We use Google Firebase for pseudonymous analytics, crash reports and remote settings.
  • Google AdMob shows ads. Where the law requires it you are asked for consent first, and on iOS you choose whether to allow tracking.
  • Purchases are handled by Apple or Google. We never see your payment details.
  • We do not sell your personal information.

1. Information we collect

Game data stored on your device

Coins, stars, guns, finishes, upgrades, power-ups, season progress, the run you are on, sound and haptics settings, and your purchase entitlements (for example, that you own Remove Ads) are saved in the app's own storage on your device. This data is not uploaded to us. Uninstalling the Game or using Settings → Reset Game deletes it.

Analytics (Google Firebase Analytics)

Pseudonymous gameplay and usage events, such as rooms started and cleared, coins earned and spent, screens opened, ads shown, purchases started and completed, and session length. Events carry a random install identifier created by the Game on first launch, the Firebase app instance ID, app version, device model, operating system version, language and approximate country (derived from your IP address by Google). Where consent is required, no analytics event is sent until you give consent.

Crash and diagnostic data (Firebase Crashlytics)

If the Game crashes or hits an error, we receive a crash report: stack trace, device model, operating system version, app version, free memory and disk space, and the time of the crash. We use it only to find and fix bugs.

Remote settings (Firebase Remote Config)

The Game downloads a small settings file so we can tune balance, ad frequency and features without an app update. The request includes the Firebase installation ID and standard app and device information.

Advertising (Google AdMob)

Ads fund the free version of the Game. To show and measure ads, Google may collect your device's advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS, only if you allow tracking; Android Advertising ID on Android), IP address and approximate location derived from it, device and app information, and how you interact with ads. On iOS, if you do not allow tracking, the IDFA is not available and ads are shown without it. Ad content in the Game is limited to content suitable for teens.

Purchases

In-app purchases (coin packs, Gear Kit, Starter Pack, Remove Ads and Elite Pass) are processed entirely by the Apple App Store or Google Play. We receive only the product identifier, a transaction identifier and whether the purchase was valid. We never receive your card number, billing address or store account details. Purchase events (product, price and currency) are also recorded in analytics.

Leaderboards (Game Center and Google Play Games)

If leaderboards are available in your version of the Game and you are signed in to Game Center (iOS) or Google Play Games (Android), the Game submits your rank to that service, which shows it next to your player alias. Apple and Google handle the sign-in. We do not receive your account credentials.

Ratings prompt

The Game may occasionally show the standard Apple or Google “rate this app” prompt. Any rating or review you leave is handled by the store, not by us.

Support emails

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you include in your message, and use it only to reply.

2. What we do not collect

3. How we use information

We do not use your information to make automated decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you.

4. Who we share it with

We share information only with the service providers that run parts of the Game, each under its own privacy policy:

ServicePurposePolicy
Google Firebase (Analytics, Crashlytics, Remote Config)Analytics, crash reporting, remote settingsfirebase.google.com/support/privacy
Google AdMob and User Messaging PlatformAdvertising and consent managementHow Google uses data from partner apps
Apple (App Store, In-App Purchase, Game Center)Distribution, purchases, leaderboardsapple.com/legal/privacy
Google Play (Billing, Play Games)Distribution, purchases, leaderboardspolicies.google.com/privacy

We may also disclose information if required by law, or to protect our rights, users or the public. We do not sell personal information. When you allow ad personalization, Google's use of your advertising identifier for targeted ads may count as “sharing” under some US state laws; you can opt out as described below.

5. Consent and your choices

6. Children

Gunorbit is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country) and is not part of any “Kids” or “Families” program. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the Game, email us and we will delete it.

7. Data retention and deletion

To request deletion of analytics or crash data linked to your install, email contact@codenovatech.io with the subject “Gunorbit data deletion”. Tell us your platform (iOS or Android) and roughly when you installed the Game. Because there is no account, the quickest way to cut every link to your device is to uninstall the Game.

8. International transfers

Google and Apple process data in many countries, including the United States. Where data leaves your region, it is protected by the safeguards those companies use, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses.

9. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, UK GDPR, California CCPA/CPRA and other US state laws, Brazil's LGPD, or India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or get a copy of your personal data, to object to or restrict processing, to withdraw consent at any time, to opt out of targeted advertising or the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information, and to complain to your local data protection authority. We will not treat you differently for using these rights. To use them, email us. We will reply within 30 days.

Where the GDPR applies, our legal bases are: your consent (personalized ads and analytics where consent is required), our legitimate interests in running, securing and improving the Game (crash reports, remote settings, non-personalized ads), and performance of a contract (delivering purchases).

10. Security

We keep the data we handle to a minimum. Data sent by the Game travels over encrypted connections (HTTPS). No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, but we rely on the security measures of Apple, Google and Firebase to protect it.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when the Game changes. We will change the date at the top of this page, and for material changes we will tell you in the Game or in the store release notes.
