This Privacy Policy explains how Alternativeway Games ("we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use Talking Loch Ness Remake (the "App"). By using the App, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Do Not Directly Collect
The App does not ask users to create an account and does not directly request or store the following personal information:
- Name, email address, phone number, or home address;
- Contacts or address book data;
- Photos, videos, or documents from the user's device, unless the user voluntarily uses device features such as screenshot sharing outside the App;
- Precise GPS location;
- Payment card, banking, or financial information.
2. Microphone Permission
The App may use the device microphone for interactive gameplay features, such as making the character react to the user's voice or surrounding sound. Microphone input is processed on the user's device for gameplay purposes only.
We do not use the microphone to record, save, upload, sell, or share audio recordings. If microphone permission is denied, some voice-based gameplay features may not work.
3. Screenshot / Camera Button Feature
The App may include a camera or screenshot button to capture the current game screen. This feature is intended to save or share a screenshot of the game display. The App does not access the device camera to take photos of the user, and it does not upload screenshots to our server.
Any saved screenshots remain on the user's device or are handled by the operating system and apps chosen by the user for sharing.
4. Advertising and Third-Party Services
The App may display ads using Google AdMob or other Google advertising services. These third-party services may collect and process information such as device identifiers, app interactions, approximate location, diagnostic data, and ad performance data in accordance with their own privacy policies.
Google may use this data to provide, limit, measure, and improve advertising. You can learn more about how Google uses data at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads
If the App is configured for children or family audiences, ads should be configured to comply with applicable Google Play Families and child-directed advertising requirements, including appropriate ad content ratings and treatment for child-directed or age-restricted users when required.
5. App Store Rating Link
The App may include a button that opens the Google Play Store page so users can rate or review the App. This action is handled by Google Play, and any review or rating submitted by the user is governed by Google Play's terms and privacy practices.
6. Automatically Collected Technical Data
We may receive limited technical information through third-party platforms or app store services, such as crash reports, diagnostics, install statistics, device type, operating system version, language, country or region, and general usage statistics. This information is used to improve performance, fix bugs, and maintain the App.
7. Children's Privacy
The App is designed to be simple and suitable for a general audience, including families. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
8. Data Sharing
We do not sell users' personal information. We may share limited data only in the following situations:
- With third-party service providers used to operate the App, such as advertising, crash reporting, analytics, or app store services;
- When required by law, regulation, legal process, or government request;
- To protect the safety, rights, and security of users, the App, or the public.
9. Data Retention
Because we do not directly create user accounts or directly store personal profiles, we do not maintain a user account database for the App. Data collected by third-party services is retained according to the privacy policies and retention practices of those services.
10. Security
We use reasonable efforts to keep the App safe and reliable. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
11. User Choices
Users can control certain privacy-related settings through their device, including:
- Granting or denying microphone permission;
- Resetting or limiting advertising identifiers through device settings where available;
- Managing app data, uninstalling the App, or clearing cached data through Android settings.
12. Links to Other Sites or Services
The App may contain links or buttons that open external services, such as Google Play. We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or policies of third-party websites and services.
13. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Users are encouraged to review this page periodically.
