Games Privacy Policy

Who we are and what this covers

Geek Bridge develops and publishes games and is responsible for the personal information processed through them. This policy applies to our games, in-game services, community features and player support. Our general website and client services are covered by our separate Privacy Policy.

We aim to handle player information in line with applicable privacy laws, including the EU and UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and other US state privacy laws.

Information you give us

• Account details, such as a player name, nickname, avatar, email address and language preference.
• Content you create, such as chat messages, forum posts and other in-game communications, some of which other players can see.
• Purchase details when you buy in-game items. Payments are handled by the app store or payment provider; we do not receive your full card number.
• Support requests, including anything you choose to share with us when you report a problem or ask a question.

Information collected automatically

When you play, our games and the service providers we use automatically collect some technical and usage information:

• Device and app information, such as device model, operating system, game version, language and time zone.
• Identifiers, such as an in-game player ID, IP address and mobile advertising identifiers (Apple IDFA or IDFV, Google Advertising ID).
• Approximate location derived from your IP address (country or city level, not precise GPS location).
• Gameplay data, such as progress, achievements, scores, sessions and in-game purchase history.
• Diagnostics, such as crash reports and performance data.
• Advertising interactions, such as which ads were shown, viewed or tapped.

Information from third parties

• App stores and platforms (for example Google Play and the Apple App Store) may share your platform user ID, region and purchase confirmations.
• Sign-in services (for example Google Play Games or Apple Game Center), if you choose to use them, may share your player ID, display name and friends list as permitted by your settings on that service.
• Advertising and analytics partners may share information about ad performance and app installs.

How we use information and our legal bases

Where GDPR applies, each use of your information relies on one of the following legal bases:

• Performing our contract with you: running the game, saving your progress, delivering purchases and providing support.
• Legitimate interests: keeping the game secure, preventing cheating and fraud, fixing bugs, understanding how the game is played, improving features and measuring ad performance.
• Consent: showing personalized ads and using certain tracking technologies. You can withdraw consent at any time.
• Legal obligations: complying with laws, responding to lawful requests and keeping required financial records.

Advertising

Some of our games are free to play and supported by ads. We use Google AdMob and may use other advertising networks to show ads. These partners may collect device identifiers, IP address and ad interaction data through their software in our games, and use it to show ads, limit repeated ads, measure performance and prevent ad fraud.

Where required by law, we ask for your consent before showing personalized ads. On iOS, apps must ask permission before tracking you across other companies’ apps and websites. If you decline or withdraw consent, you will still see ads, but they will be non-personalized and based on context such as the game you are playing and your general location.

You can also limit ad personalization in your device settings: on Android, delete or reset your advertising ID under Settings › Privacy › Ads; on iOS, turn off “Allow Apps to Request to Track” under Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking. Google’s use of advertising data is described at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We share it only as described here:

• Service providers that help us run our games, such as hosting, analytics, crash reporting, customer support and payment providers, acting on our instructions.
• Advertising partners, as described in the Advertising section.
• Platform providers such as Google and Apple, to deliver purchases and platform features.
• Other players, who can see your player name, avatar, scores and content you post publicly. Please do not share sensitive information in public areas of our games.
• A buyer or successor, if we are involved in a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, so your account and progress can continue.
• Authorities or others where required by law or to protect the rights, property and safety of our players, our company or the public.

International transfers

We and our service providers may process information in countries other than the one you live in, which may have different data protection laws. Where required, we protect these transfers with appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.

Data retention and deletion

We keep personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the game, and afterwards only as long as required for legal, accounting, security or dispute-resolution purposes. We may keep information that has been anonymized or aggregated so it no longer identifies you.

You can ask us to delete your account and associated data at any time by contacting us at info [at] geekbridge.co. Uninstalling a game does not by itself delete your data.

Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you and receive a copy in a portable format.
• Correct information that is inaccurate or incomplete.
• Delete your information, subject to certain legal exceptions.
• Restrict or object to certain uses, including use based on legitimate interests.
• Withdraw consent at any time, without affecting earlier processing.
• Complain to your local data protection authority.

Additional information for US residents

Under the CCPA and similar state laws, you may request to know what personal information we collect, use and disclose; request deletion or correction; and opt out of the “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, which can include the ad identifiers and activity data our advertising partners receive. To opt out, decline ad tracking in the game or turn off ad personalization in your device settings as described above, or contact us.

We will not discriminate against you for exercising these rights. You may use an authorized agent to make a request on your behalf, and we may need to verify your identity before responding.

Children

Our games are intended for a general audience and are not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children without verifiable parental consent where it is required. Where a game may be played by children, we limit data collection and serve only non-personalized ads to players identified as underage.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has given us personal information, contact us at info [at] geekbridge.co and we will review and delete it as appropriate.

Security

We use technical and organizational measures designed to protect your information, including encryption in transit where appropriate and restricted access to player data. No online service can guarantee absolute security, so please keep your account credentials safe and do not share them.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page with a new “Last updated” date and, where the changes are significant, notify you in the game or by other appropriate means.
