1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how Scratch Gold Rush ("we," "us," or "our") handles information when you use our game, website, and related services (collectively, the "Services"). By using the Services, you acknowledge the practices described below.
2. Information we may collect
We may collect information you provide directly, such as your email address and the content of a support request. The Services may also collect limited technical and usage information, including device type, operating system, app version, language, approximate region, IP address, crash reports, gameplay events, and advertising identifiers where permitted by your device settings.
3. How we use information
We use information to operate and improve the Services, remember preferences and game progress, diagnose errors, prevent fraud or abuse, respond to support requests, measure performance, and comply with legal obligations. Where required, we ask for consent before using information for personalized advertising or similar purposes.
4. Advertising, analytics, and service providers
We may work with vendors that provide hosting, analytics, crash reporting, customer support, and advertising services. These providers may process information on our behalf under their own privacy terms and applicable law. Depending on your location and device settings, advertising partners may use device identifiers to measure ads or show more relevant advertising.
5. Sharing of information
We do not sell your personal information for money. We may share information with service providers that help us deliver the Services, when you direct us to do so, to protect rights and safety, in connection with a business transfer, or when disclosure is required by law.
6. Data retention and security
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including legal, accounting, security, and dispute-resolution needs. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards, but no method of storage or transmission is completely secure.
7. Your choices and rights
You can limit certain collection through your device permissions, advertising settings, or by uninstalling the game. Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, portability, or objection to certain processing. To make a request, contact us using the address below. We may need to verify your request.
8. Children’s privacy
The Services are not directed to children under 13, or the minimum age required by local law. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children below that age. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can review and delete it where appropriate.
9. International processing
Information may be processed in countries other than the one where you live. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers and handle information in accordance with applicable data-protection law.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as our Services or legal requirements change. We will post the revised policy on this page and update the effective date. Material changes may also be communicated through the Services where appropriate.
