Heaven's Flight Privacy Policy

In short: Heaven's Flight is a free game published by Cameron Dean Smith, operating as Starvessa Games. It may show ads from Google AdMob to players aged 16 and older, and a one-time purchase removes ads. We don't run our own servers, and we never sell your data. For players under 16, ads, Google Play Games sign-in, leaderboards and the in-game feedback form are turned off.

Who we are

Heaven's Flight is developed and published by Cameron Dean Smith, an individual developer operating as Starvessa Games ("we", "us"). We are the data controller for the limited information described below. Contact details are at the end of this policy.

Your age and what it changes

The first time you open the game, it asks for your birth year. The birth year is stored only on your device and is not sent to us. To be careful, the game treats you as the younger possible age for your birth year.

• Under 16 (or if no age has been given): no ads are requested or shown, and Google's ad services are not started. Google Play Games sign-in, leaderboards and the in-game feedback form are unavailable. Game progress stays on the device.
• 16 and older: the features below may be used, as described.

What is collected and why

You don't need to create a Starvessa account, email address or password to play. Older versions offered a local sign-in; this version removes any saved local password code without resetting your progress.

The game opts out of automatic Android app backup, so progress does not move automatically to a new device. Apart from feedback you choose to send, we cannot see your personal data. Transfer codes you copy in Help are created on your device. They are not sent to us unless you choose to share them. Sharing a score uses your device's own share menu.

The game may show Google Play's standard rating prompt. Any review you post is handled by Google Play under Google's terms.

Ads and your choices

• Ads are only requested for players aged 16 and older who have not bought Remove Ads.
• Where required by law, including the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, Google's consent form is shown before ads are requested. If consent can't be obtained, no ads are shown.
• You can review or change your ad choices at any time in Help → Ad privacy choices.
• You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your Android settings (for example, Settings → Privacy → Ads, or Settings → Google → Ads).
• Buying Remove Ads turns off ads and ad data collection in the game.

Children

Heaven's Flight is a family-friendly game for a general audience, including children aged 9 and older, and we follow the Google Play Families policy. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. For players under 16, the game requests no ads, does not start Google's ad services or Google Play Games, and turns off the feedback form, so no personal information is sent to us or our partners through those features. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

Your rights (GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA and similar laws)

• Delete data on your device: use Help → Delete my data in the game. This removes the game's local save, age setting, local purchase record and unsent feedback on that device. It doesn't cancel purchases; use Restore purchases in the Shop to get them back. Uninstalling the game also removes it. See how to delete your data.
• Feedback you've already sent: email us with the subject "Heaven's Flight data deletion request" and enough detail to find it (such as the approximate date and reply email used). We delete valid requests within 30 days and confirm when done. Please don't send passwords or verification codes.
• Google-held data (Play Games, purchases, ads): manage it through your Google Account at myaccount.google.com.
• California residents: we do not sell your personal information for money. For players 16 and older, Google's ad services may use data as described above, which may count as "sharing" for advertising under California law. You can limit this with the ad choices above or by buying Remove Ads.
• Legal bases (EU/UK): contract (providing the game and purchases), consent (personalized ads) and legitimate interests (non-personalized ads, fraud prevention and responding to feedback).
• You may complain to your local data protection authority.

Security and retention

Data sent over the internet is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Game data on your device remains until you delete it or uninstall the game. Routine feedback messages and any reply email are kept for no more than 90 days from receipt, or deleted sooner on a valid request. If a support case is genuinely unresolved, we keep only what is needed to resolve it, then delete it. Data held by Google is kept according to Google's policies.

Changes

If we change this policy, we will update the effective date above and mention significant changes in the game's update notes.
