Privacy Policy

At a glance

• Manaslinger does not require or provide a player account.
• The website collects an email address only when you choose to join the release waitlist.
• Game progress and settings are stored locally on your device.
• The released game will use service providers for gameplay analytics, advertising, consent management, and purchase management.
• Apple or Google processes payments. We do not receive payment card or bank details.

The website and release waitlist

When you join the waitlist, we collect your email address, a randomly generated database record identifier, the date and time you joined, and the source of the signup. We use this information to send the promised Manaslinger release notice, prevent duplicate signups, maintain the list, and respond to a privacy request.

The waitlist is hosted using Cloudflare services, including Cloudflare D1. Cloudflare may process network and security information such as an IP address, browser or device information, request timestamps, and diagnostic logs to deliver and protect the website. Learn more in the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

We do not sell waitlist addresses. We do not use them for unrelated marketing. We plan to remove or de-identify waitlist records within 30 days after sending the final promised release email, unless you ask us to delete your address earlier or we must retain limited information for a legal or security reason.

Information stored on your device

Manaslinger stores game progress and settings on your device. This may include your Mana Crystal balance, Upgrade levels, Portal progress, high scores, language, and sound settings. This local information is not uploaded as a save file. It normally remains until you reset the game's data, clear the app's storage, or uninstall the game. Apple, Google, or your device provider may retain device backups under their own terms.

Mobile game services

The services in this section apply only to a released version of the mobile game that contains them. The pre-release website does not run the GameAnalytics, AdMob, UMP, or RevenueCat mobile SDKs.

Technical information and identifiers

The game and its service providers may collect:

• a randomly generated GameAnalytics user identifier;
• session, event, app-bounded, or device-bounded identifiers;
• an Android advertising identifier when available and permitted by device settings and consent choices;
• device type, model, manufacturer, operating system, and operating-system version;
• app version, SDK version, platform, language or locale, and connection type; and
• IP address, which may be used to infer a country, region, or other approximate location.

The game does not collect GPS coordinates or other precise location information.

Gameplay and usage information

We collect information about how the game is used. This may include app launches, session duration, Run starts and outcomes, Portal progress and damage, Mobs defeated, Power-ups collected, Mana Crystals earned or spent, Upgrade activity, gameplay timing, balance version, and interactions with result screens, purchase offers, consent screens, and advertisements.

We use this information to understand game performance, improve balance, find problems, measure feature use, and plan changes. We do not send your local save file, name, or email address to GameAnalytics.

Advertising information

Manaslinger plans to use Google AdMob for forced interstitial advertisements at eligible breaks between Runs and optional rewarded advertisements that you choose to watch. Google and participating advertising providers may collect or receive IP address and approximate location, identifiers, advertisements requested or viewed, ad and video interactions, consent signals, device and app information, and diagnostics related to ad delivery.

Depending on your region, device settings, and choices, Google may serve personalized, non-personalized, or limited ads. Non-personalized and limited ads may still use contextual information, approximate location, identifiers, and limited storage for fraud prevention, frequency control, and aggregated reporting.

We use Google's User Messaging Platform to request and store advertising privacy choices where required. We do not request an advertisement until UMP indicates that the request is permitted. When required, the game provides a privacy-options entry point in Settings.

Learn more about how Google uses information from apps that use its services and review the Google Privacy Policy.

Purchase information

Manaslinger plans to offer a permanent Remove Forced Ads in-app purchase. Optional rewarded-ad offers may remain available. Apple App Store or Google Play processes the transaction. RevenueCat helps validate the purchase and provide the entitlement.

These services may process an anonymous RevenueCat app user identifier; an Apple receipt or Google purchase token; product, transaction, purchase-status, date, price, and currency information; entitlement, restoration, refund, and revocation information; device type and operating system; and the last time the game contacted the purchase service.

We do not receive your payment card number, bank account number, or app-store password. Learn more in the RevenueCat Privacy Policy, the Apple Privacy Policy, and the Google Privacy Policy.

Diagnostics and performance information

The game and its providers may collect crash logs, SDK errors, launch time, hang information, energy use, memory or frame-rate measurements, device characteristics, and other technical diagnostics. We use this information to keep the game and its integrations secure, stable, and performant.

Information you send to support

If you contact us, we receive the information you choose to provide. This may include your email address, message, screenshots, attachments, device details, purchase details, or anonymous app identifier. We use it to answer your request, troubleshoot problems, process a privacy request, and maintain a record of the resolution.

Support correspondence is normally deleted or de-identified within 12 months after the request is resolved, unless a longer period is necessary for a dispute, security matter, or legal obligation. Please do not send passwords, full payment details, government identifiers, health information, or other unnecessary sensitive information.

How we use and share information

We use information to:

• operate the website and game;
• manage the release waitlist;
• understand gameplay, engagement, and retention;
• balance difficulty, rewards, and Upgrades;
• provide, measure, limit, and secure advertisements;
• remember and apply consent choices;
• validate and restore purchase entitlements;
• detect fraud, abuse, security incidents, and technical failures;
• respond to support and privacy requests; and
• comply with legal and app-store requirements.

We share information only as described in this policy, including with:

• Cloudflare, Inc. for website hosting, the waitlist database, network delivery, and security;
• GameAnalytics Ltd. for gameplay analytics, identifiers, approximate location, device information, and diagnostics. See the GameAnalytics privacy information;
• Google for advertising, consent management, ad measurement, fraud prevention, and related diagnostics;
• RevenueCat, Inc. for purchase validation, entitlement management, restoration, purchase analytics, and fraud prevention;
• Apple or Google for purchase processing, refunds, store services, and platform operation; and
• authorities, professional advisers, or a successor organization when legally necessary.

We do not sell personal information for money. Some laws may define personalized advertising or disclosure to advertising providers as selling, sharing, or targeted advertising. Where those laws apply, you may use the privacy choices below to opt out.

Your privacy choices

• Ask us to remove your email address from the release waitlist.
• Use the game's Privacy Options entry when UMP says it is required.
• Decline personalized advertising when the consent screen offers that choice.
• Change advertising privacy settings through iOS or Android system settings.
• Reset local progress through the game or your device's app-storage controls.
• Uninstall the game to remove information stored only on the device.
• Request access, correction, deletion, restriction, or a copy of information associated with you, or object to certain processing.

Manaslinger has no player accounts, so there is no account-deletion function. A purchase remains associated with your Apple or Google store account unless the store changes or removes its record. Deleting a RevenueCat customer record does not cancel or refund a store purchase. Restoring a valid purchase later may recreate an anonymous purchase record so the game can provide the entitlement.

Retention and deletion

We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, subject to legal, security, fraud-prevention, accounting, dispute-resolution, and technical needs.

• Local progress remains until it is reset, cleared, or removed, subject to device backups.
• Waitlist and support retention periods are described in their sections above.
• We do not maintain a separate player account database or copy of raw GameAnalytics events.
• GameAnalytics follows its Data Retention and Deletion Policy.
• Google retains advertising and consent information according to its policies and configured service periods. Aggregated reports may be retained longer than user-level reports.
• RevenueCat purchase and entitlement information is retained while needed to validate and restore purchases, maintain entitlements, handle refunds and fraud, and meet legal obligations.
• Apple and Google retain transaction and platform records independently.

When information is no longer required, we delete it or convert it into aggregated or de-identified information. Information may remain temporarily in protected backups until they rotate or are securely deleted.

Security and international processing

We use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the information we process. These include encrypted network connections where supported, access controls, data minimization, restricted production credentials, and review of service providers. No electronic system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Our providers may process information in Canada, the United States, the European Economic Area, or other countries where they operate. Those countries may have different privacy laws. Where required, we and our providers use contractual or other safeguards for international transfers.

Children's privacy

Manaslinger is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly ask children to provide contact information through the game. If you believe a child has provided personal information without consent required by law, contact us so we can investigate and delete it where required.

The app-store target audience, advertising configuration, content rating, and SDK settings must remain consistent with this statement. We will update our practices and this policy before directing Manaslinger to children or joining a children-focused store program.

Your legal rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to know, access, correct, delete, restrict, or obtain a copy of information about you; withdraw consent; object to processing; opt out of targeted advertising or certain disclosures; and complain to a privacy authority.

To exercise a right, contact the privacy email below. We may need to verify your request. To locate provider records, we may ask for the anonymous identifier displayed by the game, purchase transaction information, or other limited information. We will never ask for your app-store password or full payment details.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when Manaslinger, our providers, or legal requirements change. We will post the revised policy at this address and change the last-updated date. We will provide additional notice or request consent when required by law.
