Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy applies to the mobile game EmotiHop ("the Game"), developed and published by Boxobo Labs ("we", "our", or "us"). It explains our data practices for players accessing the Game across supported mobile operating systems and official application marketplaces.

2. Information We Process

We believe in minimal data processing required solely to deliver a responsive, fair arcade experience:

• Local Gameplay Data: High scores, coin balances, and unlocked character skins are saved locally on your device storage. This information is stored within the app's local sandbox and is not collected to proprietary external servers.
• Platform Gaming Services (Optional): If you choose to log in with your mobile platform's gaming account, your public player profile, leaderboard scores, and achievement unlock progress are synchronized directly by the platform provider according to their respective privacy standards.
• Diagnostic & Device Telemetry: Non-identifying technical data (device model, operating system version, crash diagnostics, and general network availability) may be processed by embedded developer SDKs to resolve technical glitches and maintain stability.
• Advertising Identifiers: Non-permanent mobile device identifiers (such as the platform Advertising ID) may be accessed by authorized advertising partners to measure ad performance, prevent fraud, and maintain frequency caps, subject to your platform privacy preferences.

3. In-App Purchases & Billing Information

The Game may offer optional in-app purchases (such as cosmetic skin bundles, coin packages, or an ad-free upgrade).

• Secure Platform Billing: All financial and payment transactions are processed entirely and securely by the official mobile application store through which you downloaded the Game.
• No Payment Data Stored by Us: We do not collect, process, or store credit card numbers, debit card numbers, bank details, or billing addresses.
• Purchase Validation: Our systems only receive anonymous transaction tokens and digital receipts from the platform store to verify completion of the purchase and unlock the corresponding digital content on your device.

4. Third-Party Partners & Advertising

We partner with reputable third-party mobile service providers to support gameplay infrastructure and voluntary rewarded video advertising:

• Mobile Advertising Networks: Rewarded video advertisements provide players with a voluntary option to revive once per game run. These partner networks may process mobile advertising identifiers to measure delivery, prevent fraud, and serve ads according to applicable legal frameworks.
• Platform Cloud & Gaming Services: Enables cloud scoreboards and player achievements. You can manage, disconnect, or adjust your platform gaming profile directly through your device settings.

5. Player Advertising Choices & Tracking Controls

You have complete control over advertising personalization on your mobile device:

• You can reset or restrict your mobile advertising identifier at any time through your operating system's system settings under Privacy & Security → Tracking / Ads.
• You can disable personalized advertising or opt out of cross-app tracking without losing access to the core gameplay of EmotiHop.

6. Children's Privacy

EmotiHop is designed for general audiences of all ages. We strictly adhere to child privacy standards, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and platform child protection policies:

• We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13 (or 16 where required by local law).
• All advertisements displayed in the Game are configured to comply with family-safe guidelines and applicable age-appropriate design standards.
• If a parent or guardian becomes aware that personal data has inadvertently been provided, please contact us at crypcryptonic@gmail.com for prompt removal.

7. Data Retention, Security & Deletion

Because gameplay progress is saved locally on your device, you have immediate control over your data:

• Clearing the Game's local application storage or uninstalling the Game from your device permanently removes your local high score and coin records.
• Cloud scores and achievements stored through your platform gaming account can be managed through your platform account settings.

8. Your Legal Privacy Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction (such as the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or California/United States), you may exercise statutory rights:

• Right of Access & Deletion: The right to know what data is processed and request its deletion.
• Right to Opt Out: We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information.
• Non-Discrimination: You will never be penalized or denied game features for exercising your privacy rights.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect new game updates, additional features, or statutory revisions. Updated policies will be posted at this URL with an updated effective date. Continued use of the Game following updates constitutes agreement with the revised policy.
