Welcome to GradientBits ("we," "us," "our"). We are committed to protecting the privacy of our players. This Privacy Policy applies to our games, and our website (gradientbits.com) collectively, our "Services."

This policy explains what information is collected, why it is collected, and how you can control your data. As a company based in Poland, we comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

3. Information We Collect (and What We Don't Collect)

We have designed our Services to collect the minimum amount of data necessary to operate and improve them.

a) Information You Don't Provide:

We do not require you to create an account or provide any personal information like your name, email address, or phone number to play our games.

b) Information Collected Automatically by Third-Party Services:

While we do not directly collect or store your personal information, our game is built using the Unity game engine and is distributed through the Google Play Store. These third-party services may collect data automatically to function correctly and provide us with analytics. This data typically includes:

  • Device & Technical Information: Your IP address, device identifiers (like Google Advertising ID), device type, operating system, and language settings.
  • Usage Data: Information about how you interact with our game, such as session times, features used, and crash reports.

The services that collect this data are:

  • Unity: Our game is developed using the Unity engine, which may collect the data listed above for analytics, diagnostics, and to improve its services. You can learn more about their data practices in the Unity Privacy Policy.
  • Google Play Services: When you download and play our game on an Android device, Google may collect data related to your activity. For more information, please review the Google Privacy Policy.

4. Legal Basis for Processing Data

Under GDPR, we need a legal basis to process your data. The data collected automatically by our service providers (Unity, Google) is processed based on Legitimate Interest. Our legitimate interest is to:

  • Operate and maintain our game.
  • Analyze and fix technical issues or crashes.
  • Understand how players use our game to improve player experience.

5. How We Use Your Information

We do not use your data for profiling or direct marketing. The aggregated and anonymized data we can view from our service providers is used solely to:

  • Ensure our game runs effectively on different devices.
  • Identify and fix bugs.
  • Improve gameplay and features for future updates.

6. Data Sharing

We do not sell or share your personal data with any other third parties, other than the service providers (Unity, Google) mentioned in Section 3, who collect it directly as part of providing their essential services.

7. Your Data Protection Rights (GDPR)

As a user in the European Union, you have the following rights:

  • The right to be informed: To know how your data is being used (which this policy explains).
  • The right of access: To ask for a copy of the data held about you.
  • The right to rectification: To correct any inaccurate data.
  • The right to erasure (the "right to be forgotten"): To have your data deleted.
  • The right to restrict processing: To limit how your data is used.
  • The right to data portability: To receive your data in a machine-readable format.
  • The right to object: To object to the processing of your data (e.g., for direct marketing).

To exercise these rights, please contact us at support@gradientbits.com. Since we do not hold personal data directly, we will guide you on how to manage your data through your device settings or with the relevant third-party providers. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, such as the Polish Personal Data Protection Office (UODO).

8. Children's Privacy

Our Services are not directed to children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child has provided us with personal data, we will take steps to delete such information.
