Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Monster Game 2 (the "App"), developed by Michael Schwarz ("we", "us"), handles information when you use the App on iPhone or iPad. We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not sell your personal information.
1. Information we do not collect
We do not ask for or collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, or precise GPS location. We do not run our own servers that store information about you. You play against computer opponents on your device; there is no chat and no online multiplayer.
2. Information stored on your device
The App saves your settings, tutorial progress, and which expansion packs or "Remove Ads" you have purchased locally on your device. This information stays on your device and is not sent to us. Deleting the App removes it, and you can get your purchases back with "Restore Purchase".
3. In-App Purchases
Expansion packs, the Collector's Bundle, and "Remove Ads" are optional purchases processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive or store your payment information. Apple's handling of this data is covered by Apple's Privacy Policy.
4. Advertising (Google AdMob)
The free version of the App shows ads provided by Google AdMob, a service of Google LLC. To show ads, measure their performance, and prevent fraud, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may automatically collect information from your device, including:
- Device identifiers, such as the Apple Advertising Identifier (IDFA), only if you allow tracking (see below), and the identifier for vendors (IDFV)
- Approximate location, derived from your IP address
- Usage and ad interaction data, such as ads shown, taps, and app launches
- Diagnostic data, such as crash logs and performance information
- Device information, such as device model, operating system version, and language
Google uses this information to show ads in the App, measure how those ads perform, and for analytics. Google may associate your approximate location, usage data, and ad interaction data with your device's identifiers, so this data is treated as linked to your device. Diagnostic data such as crash logs and performance information is not linked to you.
This information is collected and processed by Google under its own policies. Learn more in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services and the Google Privacy Policy.
Personalized ads and App Tracking Transparency
The App asks for your permission through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt before your Advertising Identifier can be used to track you across other companies' apps and websites for personalized ads. If you choose "Ask App Not to Track", Google will not receive your Advertising Identifier and you will see non-personalized ads instead. Only your device identifier is used for this kind of tracking; your approximate location, usage data, and diagnostic data are not used to track you across other companies' apps and websites. You can change this at any time in Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking.
Consent in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, or another region where it is required, the App uses Google's User Messaging Platform to ask for your consent before personal data is used for advertising. You can review or change your choices at any time by tapping Remove Ads › Privacy Settings on the App's main menu.
Removing ads
If you purchase "Remove Ads", the App stops loading ads, and the Google Mobile Ads SDK no longer requests ads on your behalf.
5. How information is used
Information described above is used to run the game, remember your purchases and settings, show and measure ads, keep the App working well, and fix crashes. We do not use it to learn who you are, such as your name or email address. However, because Google may associate advertising and usage data with your device's identifiers, the App Store privacy label lists that data as "Data Linked to You".
6. Sharing
We do not sell or rent your personal information. Information is shared only with the service providers described above (Apple and Google) so they can provide their services, or when required by law.
7. Children's privacy
The App is intended for a general audience and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us and we will help address it.
8. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict use of your personal information, to withdraw consent, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for targeted advertising (for example, under the GDPR in Europe and the CCPA/CPRA in California). Because we do not hold personal information about you on our own systems, the most effective ways to exercise these rights are:
- Choose "Ask App Not to Track" in the tracking prompt, or turn tracking off in iOS Settings
- Change your ad consent choices from Remove Ads › Privacy Settings on the main menu (where required)
- Reset your Advertising Identifier, or manage Google's data at My Ad Center
- Delete the App to remove all data stored on your device
You can also contact us with any privacy request, and we will respond within the time required by applicable law.
9. Data retention and security
Game data stays on your device until you delete the App. Data collected by Apple or Google is kept according to their policies. We use the security protections provided by iOS and our service providers.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the effective date at the top of this page. Significant changes will be noted in the App's release notes.
