Vesperstone Privacy Policy
In short: Vesperstone is free and shows ads from Google AdMob. A one-time purchase removes all ads. We don't run servers of our own and we never sell your data. Players under 16 only see non-personalized, child-safe ads and are never tracked.
What is collected and why
| Data | Where it goes | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Game progress, settings, birth year, and your sign-in name or email (your password is stored only as a scrambled one-way code) | Stays on your device | Saving your game and choosing age-appropriate settings |
| Google Play Games player ID, scores and achievements (only if you sign in with Play Games) | Leaderboards, achievements and saved progress across devices | |
| Purchase records | Google Play | Unlocking Remove Ads and restoring it on new devices |
| Advertising ID (players 16 and older who allow it), IP address, device type, ad interactions | Google AdMob | Showing, limiting and measuring ads, and preventing fraud |
| Feedback you choose to send: star rating, feedback type, your message, optional reply email, game version, best score, age group, device type and screen size | The developer, delivered by Web3Forms (web3forms.com) | Reading and answering your feedback and fixing bugs. Kept up to 2 years, or deleted sooner on request |
Apart from feedback you choose to send, we can't see your personal data. How Google uses data from apps: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy. Web3Forms: web3forms.com/privacy.
Children (COPPA)
The game asks for your birth year the first time you open it. For players under 13 (and under 16 in the EU and UK), ads are marked as child-directed: non-personalized, general-audience content only, and no advertising ID is used. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children.
Players under 13 can only send a star rating and a feedback type. They can't type a message or enter an email, so no personal information is collected from children through feedback. Parents can contact us at any time.
Your choices (GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA)
- Players in the EU and UK see a consent form before any ads, and can change their choice any time under Help → Ad Privacy Choices.
- You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your Android settings (Settings → Google → Ads, or Settings → Privacy → Ads).
- Remove Ads turns off all ads and ad data collection.
- To access, correct or delete your data, use Help → Delete my data in the game, or email us. See how to delete your data.
- California residents: we don't sell personal information.
- Legal bases: contract (providing the game), consent (personalized ads), and legitimate interest (non-personalized ads and fraud prevention).
Security and retention
Data sent over the internet is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Game data on your device stays until you delete it or uninstall the game. Feedback is kept for up to 2 years.
Changes
If we change this policy, we'll update the date above and mention it in the game's "What's new" notes.
