This Privacy Policy explains how Cinder Code LLC ("Cinder Code," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and handles information when you use DelveKin. DelveKin is designed to provide a strategy-game experience without advertising or user accounts.
Your Privacy
DelveKin uses limited pseudonymous gameplay analytics and technical crash reporting to balance the game, understand feature usage, fix problems, and improve reliability.
We do not ask you to provide your name, email address, account information, contacts, photos, precise location, or other direct personal identifiers in order to play DelveKin.
Information We Collect
DelveKin may collect limited gameplay and app-usage information, such as:
- Dungeon level and progression
- Room type and game outcomes
- Selected monsters and traps
- Upgrade and unlock activity
- Ability and gameplay interactions
- Tutorial progress
- Interactions with the optional Premium purchase flow
We may also collect technical information used for analytics and crash reporting, including app version, device model, operating-system version, language or region, installation-level identifiers, session information, crash logs, stack traces, and diagnostic information.
Gameplay analytics use predefined game values and identifiers. DelveKin does not intentionally include names, email addresses, user-entered text, payment information, purchase receipts, transaction identifiers, contacts, or precise location in its custom analytics events or crash reports.
How We Use Information
We use gameplay analytics to understand game balance and improve the player experience. This may include evaluating dungeon difficulty, room performance, monster and trap usage, ability usage, progression, rewards, tutorial completion, and interest in Premium features.
We use crash and diagnostic information to identify, investigate, and correct crashes, errors, performance problems, save or resume failures, and device-specific reliability issues.
We do not use this information for personalized advertising, cross-app advertising, selling personal information, or creating advertising profiles.
Firebase Services
DelveKin uses Google Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics.
Firebase Analytics provides pseudonymous information about app usage and gameplay events. Firebase Crashlytics provides crash, error, session, device, app-version, and diagnostic information that helps us improve app stability.
Firebase may automatically collect certain technical events, properties, and installation-level identifiers in addition to the gameplay events configured by DelveKin.
Google processes this information in connection with its Firebase services under Google's applicable terms, privacy documentation, and data-processing terms.
No Advertising or Tracking
DelveKin contains no advertisements.
We do not use Firebase information for personalized advertising and do not use DelveKin data to track you across apps or websites owned by other companies for advertising purposes.
Cinder Code does not sell personal information or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.
Purchases
DelveKin may record limited purchase-funnel events, such as when the Premium information screen is viewed, when a purchase or restore action is selected, and whether the process succeeds, is cancelled, is unavailable, or fails.
These events do not include payment-card information, store-account credentials, purchase receipts, transaction identifiers, or raw store error messages.
Premium purchases are processed by the Apple App Store or Google Play. Cinder Code does not directly receive or store your payment-card information or store-account credentials.
Local Game Data
Game progress, unlocked content, settings, Supplies, and other save information are primarily stored locally on your device.
Deleting DelveKin or clearing its local application data may permanently remove locally stored game progress. Eligible Premium purchases may be restored through the Apple App Store or Google Play.
Local save data is not uploaded to Firebase as part of DelveKin's analytics or crash-reporting implementation.
How We Share Information
We do not sell your information.
Limited analytics and technical information is processed by Google through Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics so those services can provide analytics, crash-reporting, security, and reliability functions.
Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with applicable law, respond to valid legal requests, protect rights or safety, investigate misuse, or enforce applicable agreements.
Data Retention
Gameplay analytics and crash information may be retained by Google and Cinder Code for the periods reasonably needed to provide analytics, diagnose technical issues, evaluate game balance, meet legal obligations, and improve DelveKin.
Retention periods may vary depending on the Firebase service, its configuration, and applicable platform requirements.
We aim to collect and retain only information reasonably useful for game balancing, product improvement, security, and reliability.
Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, applicable privacy laws may provide certain rights regarding personal information. You may contact us at [email protected] with questions or requests concerning DelveKin's privacy practices.
DelveKin does not require an account, and Cinder Code does not collect names, email addresses, or other direct identifiers through gameplay. Because analytics and diagnostic information is pseudonymous and is not associated by Cinder Code with a player account or identity, we may be unable to identify or retrieve information associated with a particular individual.
Where applicable law provides privacy rights and we are reasonably able to identify information associated with a valid request, we will respond as required by applicable law.
Children's Privacy
DelveKin does not require children or other players to create an account or provide a name, email address, precise location, contacts, photos, or other directly identifying information in order to play.
We do not knowingly use information collected through DelveKin for behavioral advertising or advertising profiles.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has provided personal information to Cinder Code in a manner not described by this Policy, please contact us at [email protected] .
International Processing
Cinder Code and its service providers may process information in the United States or other countries where they operate.
Data-protection laws in those locations may differ from those where you live. Where required, applicable legal mechanisms are used by service providers for international data processing and transfers.
Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures intended to protect information processed through DelveKin.
No storage or transmission system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Third-Party Platforms
DelveKin is distributed through platforms such as the Apple App Store and Google Play. Purchases, downloads, store accounts, and certain platform services are governed by the privacy practices and terms of the applicable platform provider.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when DelveKin, its features, applicable law, or the services it uses change.
When the Policy is updated, the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page will be revised.
