Privacy Policy
Herdisiwa Studio ("we," "our," or "us") is deeply committed to protecting the privacy of our users. This Privacy Policy is a comprehensive legal document detailing the collection, usage, and safeguarding of information within our mobile applications published on the Google Play Store. By interacting with our casual games, you formally consent to the data processing practices outlined below.
1. Detailed Information Collection
A. Personal Identification Data
Our studio operates on a principle of anonymity. We do not solicit or require any form of personal identification such as names, physical addresses, or government-issued IDs for game access. However, if you initiate correspondence via herdisiwa@gmail.com for technical support, we will retain your email address and message logs exclusively for the duration required to resolve your specific inquiry and improve our support infrastructure.
B. Technical Telemetry & Metadata
To ensure optimal performance and crash prevention, our applications automatically collect non-personal technical data. This includes your hardware manufacturer, device model, Android OS version, and network status. We also track gameplay metrics—such as level completion rates and in-game achievements—to optimize our casual game mechanics for a better user experience.
2. Third-Party Integrations & Advertising
To provide our services free of charge, we integrate specialized third-party software development kits (SDKs). These providers may collect information used to identify your device in accordance with their own privacy protocols:
Google AdMob (Advertising)
We use Google AdMob to deliver advertisements. AdMob uses the Advertising ID (GAID) to serve personalized ads based on your interests and to perform frequency capping. This process is governed by Google’s data policies.
Firebase & Google Analytics
We utilize Firebase tools to monitor application stability and crash reports. This data is critical for identifying bugs across various Android device versions.
→ Privacy and Security in Firebase3. Strict Compliance: COPPA & GDPR
Herdisiwa Studio is fully compliant with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and global data protection standards. Our games are intended for a general audience. However, for users identified as children (under 13 in the US, or 16 in the EU), we ensure that our advertising partner, AdMob, is programmatically restricted to serving Non-Personalized Ads (NPA) only. We do not knowingly harvest personally identifiable information from children.
4. Data Security
We employ industry-standard encryption and security measures. Since we do not store your data on local servers (using third-party cloud infrastructure instead), we rely on Google's world-class security protocols to prevent unauthorized access or disclosure.
5. User Control & Opt-Out
You maintain absolute control over your Advertising ID. You may opt-out or reset your ad profile via your device settings:
