1. Introduction

Welcome to Insect Hunter ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data when you play our mobile game.

Insect Hunter is a free-to-play mobile action game built with Flutter. We respect your privacy and want to be transparent about how we handle your data.

2. Information We Do NOT Collect

We are committed to your privacy. We do NOT collect, store, or transmit any personal information including:

  • Your name, email address, or phone number
  • Your location or GPS data
  • Your contacts or address book
  • Your photos or media files
  • Your device identifiers (except through AdMob as explained below)
  • Any other personally identifiable information

No account is required to play the game. You can enjoy all features without creating an account or providing any personal information.

3. Data Stored Locally on Your Device

All game data is stored locally on your device and never transmitted to our servers. This includes:

  • Game settings: Audio preferences (on/off), vibration settings
  • Best scores: Your highest score achieved
  • Game progress: Current level, lives count (if applicable)
  • Statistics: Gameplay statistics and metrics

⚠️ Important: If you delete the app from your device, all locally stored game data will be permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. We do not maintain any backup of your game data.

4. Google Mobile Ads (AdMob)

Insect Hunter uses Google Mobile Ads (AdMob) to display advertisements. This is our only source of monetization, allowing us to provide the game for free.

4.1 What AdMob Collects

Google AdMob may collect certain information for ad serving purposes, including:

  • Device information (device model, operating system, screen size)
  • Advertising ID (Android Advertising ID or iOS Identifier for Advertisers)
  • IP address (for general location, typically at city level)
  • App usage data related to ad interactions

This information is collected and processed by Google, not by us. Google uses this data to serve relevant ads and improve ad performance.

4.2 Your Ad Choices

You can control personalized advertising through your device settings:

  • Android: Settings → Google → Ads → Reset advertising ID / Opt out of Ads Personalization
  • iOS: Settings → Privacy → Advertising → Limit Ad Tracking

5. Internet Connection

Insect Hunter is fully playable offline. However:

  • Advertisements require internet connection: Ads will not load when you're offline
  • Game functionality: All game features work without internet connection
  • No data sync: We don't sync your game data to the cloud or any server

6. Permissions Required

Insect Hunter requests the following permissions:

  • Vibration: For haptic feedback during gameplay (optional)
  • Audio: For game sound effects and background music (can be disabled in settings)
  • Internet (optional): Only required for displaying advertisements

We do not request or require access to:

  • Location services
  • Camera or photos
  • Contacts or address book
  • Microphone
  • Storage (except for local game data)

7. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party service:

Google Mobile Ads (AdMob)

Purpose: Displaying advertisements to support free game development

Data Collection: Google collects standard ad-related data as described in section 4

Privacy Policy: Google Privacy Policy

These third-party services have their own privacy policies governing how they collect and use information. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

8. Data Sharing

We do not share your personal information with anyone because we don't collect any personal information.

The only data that may be shared is through Google AdMob's standard ad serving process, which is controlled by Google's privacy policy, not ours.

9. Children's Privacy

Insect Hunter is rated for ages 7+ and is family-friendly. Our game does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 years of age.

Since we don't collect any personal information, and all data is stored locally on the device, there is no risk of unauthorized collection of children's data by our game.

However, parents should be aware that Google AdMob may display age-appropriate advertisements. Parents can use device-level controls to limit ad tracking and restrict in-app purchases.

10. Data Security

Since all your game data is stored locally on your device:

  • Your game data is protected by your device's security
  • No data is transmitted to or stored on our servers
  • We cannot access your game data remotely
  • Your data is as secure as your device is secure

11. Your Rights

Since we don't collect personal information, you have full control over your data:

  • Delete your data: Simply uninstall the app to delete all local game data
  • Reset your data: Clear app data through your device settings
  • Control ads: Use device settings to limit ad tracking (see section 4.2)
  • Disable audio: Turn off sounds and music in the game settings

12. Changes to Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date.

If we make significant changes to how we handle data (though we don't collect personal data), we will try to notify you through an in-game message or app update description.
