隐私政策 / Privacy Policy

StrangeSummer Privacy Policy

This policy applies to the Android game StrangeSummer (package name: com.pachcha.strangesummer), provided and operated by the developer identified on its Google Play store listing.

1. Information We Process

Game and save data

• A random player identifier generated on first launch, an authentication token, and channel information;
• Your player nickname if you choose one, game progress, levels, virtual items, resources, settings, and ad-reward status;
• This information is stored locally on your device. Some of it is also synchronized to our servers over HTTPS to provide persistent saves, recovery, and protection against lost progress.

Technical and log information

To operate online features, maintain security, and troubleshoot problems, our servers or infrastructure providers may process IP addresses, request times and paths, player identifiers, network status, basic app/device/system information, and error logs. We do not intentionally access your contacts, messages, photos, precise location, microphone, or camera content.

Advertising and consent information

The game uses Google AdMob for rewarded ads and Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) to manage privacy choices where applicable. Depending on your region and choices, Google and its advertising partners may process advertising identifiers, IP address, approximate location (for example, inferred from IP), device and app information, ad impressions/clicks/completed-view interactions, diagnostics, and consent status. Google's processing is governed by its own policies:

• Google Privacy Policy
• How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services

2. Why We Use Information

• To operate the game, identify an anonymous save, and synchronize or restore progress;
• To provide rewarded ads and grant in-game rewards after a completed view;
• To honor regional privacy choices and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents;
• To diagnose crashes, networking, and compatibility problems and improve the service;
• To comply with legal obligations and respond to user requests.

Processing based on legitimate interest

In addition to the processing described above that is based on your consent, Google and its advertising partners may also process some of your data on the basis of legitimate interest for the following purposes: using limited data to select advertising, measuring advertising and content performance, understanding audiences through statistics, and developing and improving services (corresponding to IAB TCF Purposes 2, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11). We have carried out a balancing assessment for this processing and consider that, where you are given an easy way to object, your interests and fundamental rights do not override those legitimate interests.

Please note that creating a personalised advertising profile and using it to serve personalised ads is always based on your consent and never on legitimate interest; special features such as the use of precise geolocation data or actively scanning device characteristics for identification also require your explicit consent. You may object to processing based on legitimate interest at any time, as described in Section 5.

3. Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may disclose information only as necessary for the purposes above to:

• Google AdMob, UMP, and their advertising technology partners;
• Infrastructure providers that supply hosting, database, networking, and security services;
• Authorities or professional advisers where required by law, needed to protect users and the service, or necessary to address a lawful rights request.

4. Retention and Deletion

Local game data normally remains on your device until you clear the app's data or uninstall it. Server-side saves are retained while needed to provide save and recovery features. Technical and security logs are retained only as needed for operations, security, dispute handling, or legal requirements. We delete or anonymize information when it is no longer needed, except where retention is legally required or data remains within a reasonable backup cycle.

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your server-side player data. Copy your Player ID from the in-game Settings page and email the ID with your request to baiyin2025@qq.com. We may need to verify that your request is associated with the relevant player record, and we will process it within a reasonable period or the period required by applicable law. Deleting our server data does not automatically delete data independently controlled by Google; consult Google's policies and privacy tools for those requests.

5. Your Choices

• Where applicable, use the “Ad Privacy” entry on the game's home screen to reopen Google's privacy options. It appears only when UMP determines that it is required.
• Use Android system settings to manage advertising privacy choices or reset/delete your advertising ID.
• Clear app data or uninstall the game to remove locally stored information.
• Contact us as described above to request access, correction, or deletion.
• Object to processing based on legitimate interest: open the privacy options through the “Ad Privacy” entry on the game's home screen and turn off or object to the relevant legitimate-interest purposes under “Manage options”. Objecting does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before your objection.
• Objecting will not stop you from seeing ads; it means the relevant ads will use less of your data. Processing based on consent — such as personalised advertising — is unaffected and still requires your separate consent.
• Withdraw consent: you may withdraw any consent you have given at any time through the same entry point.

6. Security

We use HTTPS transport, access controls, random authentication tokens, and appropriate operational safeguards. No system can be guaranteed completely secure. If a security incident affects your rights, we will respond and provide notices as required by applicable law.

7. Adult Audience

StrangeSummer is intended for users aged 18 or older and is not directed to children or minors. We do not ask users to provide a date of birth. If you believe a minor has submitted personal information to us, please contact us below.

8. International Processing

Google and its advertising partners may process information outside your country or region. Cross-border processing is handled in accordance with applicable law and safeguards provided by the relevant service providers.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy when game features, third-party services, or legal requirements change. The revised policy will be published on this page with an updated date. We will provide additional notice for material changes where appropriate.

10. Contact Us

For privacy questions, data requests, or complaints, email baiyin2025@qq.com.

11. Right to Lodge a Complaint

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority in the country where you live or work, or where the alleged infringement occurred (in the EEA, the relevant national data protection authority; in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office, ICO). We would nonetheless welcome the opportunity to address your concern first, using the contact details in Section 10.
