Privacy Policy
1. Who is responsible
The controller of your personal data is Georgios Vasilakis, Greece (trading as Antichalabs). Contact: antichalabs@gmail.com.
2. What data we process and why
| Data | Why | Legal basis (GDPR) |
|---|---|---|
| Google Play Games player ID and display name | To create your game account, show your name on the leaderboards and restore your progress on a new device | Contract (providing the game) |
| Game progress (stage, materials, gear, settings) and scores with the time of the run | Cloud save, leaderboards, checking that scores are not cheated | Contract; legitimate interest (fair leaderboards) |
| Purchase records (product, order ID, purchase token, status) | To give you what you bought, restore it on new devices and handle refunds | Contract; legal obligation (accounting) |
| Advertising ID, device and app information, approximate location from IP, ad interactions (by Google AdMob) | To show the rewarded ads you choose to watch, measure them and prevent fraud | Your consent (asked in the EEA/UK); legitimate interest for non-personalised ads |
| Device information: phone model, Android version, processor, memory, graphics chip, screen size, language and country setting of the phone, game version; whether the game copy is genuine (Google Play Integrity / Firebase App Check) | To find and fix bugs that happen only on some phones, and to protect our server from fake copies of the game | Legitimate interest (a working, secure game) |
| Gameplay statistics: for each climb, how high you got, how long it lasted, where and how you lost a life, and how it ended (game over, back to menu, app closed); and how much time you spend in the game each day (only while the game is on screen) | To balance the difficulty (for example, to see which part of the tower or which boss is too hard) | Legitimate interest (a fair, fun game) |
| Error logs: if the game hits an error, the technical log of that play session (game messages only, no personal content) | To find out what went wrong and fix it | Legitimate interest (a working game) |
| IP address and time requests | The game asks Google's servers for the current time so timers cannot be cheated; servers receive your IP address as part of any internet request | Legitimate interest (fair play, security) |
We do not collect your email address, contacts, photos, precise location or payment card details. Payments are handled entirely by Google Play.
3. Who processes the data for us
Google provides the services we use: Google Play Games Services, Google Play Billing, Firebase / Google Cloud (our server, located in the EU, region europe-west1) and Google AdMob. Google may process data outside the EU under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses. See Google's Privacy Policy and how Google uses data from partner apps.
We do not sell or rent your personal data, and we do not share it with anyone else except where the law requires it.
4. Ads and your choices
Ads appear only when you tap a "Watch an ad" button. In the EEA and the UK the game asks for your consent before personalised ads are shown. You can change your choice at any time in Settings → Privacy options (ads). You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in your Android settings.
5. How long we keep data
- Account, cloud save and purchases: while your account exists, or until you delete it.
- Daily and weekly leaderboard entries: up to 60 days, then deleted automatically.
- Device information: while your account exists (updated each time you play). Error logs and gameplay statistics: up to 90 days.
- Purchase records: as long as needed for refunds, fraud prevention and accounting (normally up to 5 years under Greek tax law).
- Data kept on your phone stays there until you reset progress or uninstall the game.
6. Delete your data
In the game: Settings → Delete my online data. This deletes your account, cloud save, scores and your name from the leaderboards. You can also email us; see how to delete your data.
7. Your rights
You can ask for access to, correction, deletion or a copy of your data, object to processing based on legitimate interest, and withdraw your consent at any time. Email antichalabs@gmail.com; we reply within one month. You can also complain to the Hellenic Data Protection Authority (www.dpa.gr) or the authority in your country.
8. Children
The game is meant for players aged 13 and over and is not directed at children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has given us data, contact us and we will delete it.
9. Tester sign-up on our website
If you ask to become a tester on our website, we store the name and email address you give us, and the date and time of your request, on our server (Firebase / Google Cloud, region europe-west1, EU). We use them only to add you to the closed test on Google Play and to contact you about the test. The legal basis is your request (consent). We keep them until the test ends or until you ask us to delete them by emailing antichalabs@gmail.com. To limit abuse, we also keep an anonymous, one-way scrambled form of your internet address for up to two hours.
9a. Visits to our website
To know how many people visit this website and where they came from (for example a link in an ad), each page view sends us the page name, the website that linked you here and your device type (Android, iPhone, computer). We do not use cookies and do not store your internet (IP) address. To count different visitors per day, our server combines your IP address and browser details with a random key that changes every day and keeps only the resulting one-way code; the daily key is then discarded, so the code cannot be traced back to you. These codes are deleted after 90 days; only daily totals are kept. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in understanding how our website is used.
10. Security
Data is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS) and our database cannot be read or written directly by the app; only our server can access it.
11. Changes
If we change this policy we will update this page and the date above. Important changes will also be shown in the game.
