Privacy Policy for HYPER 2048

1. Overview and Scope

This Privacy Policy explains how Svati Technologies ("we", "our", or "us") manages information when you install and play HYPER 2048: Neon Arcade (Application ID: in.svati.hyper2048) on Android devices. By installing and playing HYPER 2048, you agree to the practices outlined in this policy.

2. Data Collection & Usage

A. Information We DO NOT Collect

Our application is designed with privacy-first engineering. We do not require account registration, social login, or personal profile creation. We do NOT collect:

• Personal identification details (e.g., your real name, email address, home address, or phone number)
• Financial or payment information (all power-ups are earned via gameplay or optional rewarded video ads)
• Camera, microphone, photo library, or external contact book access
• Precise GPS location data

B. Information Stored Locally on Your Device

To deliver a seamless offline gaming experience, HYPER 2048 stores gameplay state locally using Android's encrypted SharedPreferences sandbox:

• Current game board state and active tile positions
• High score and current run score
• In-game power-up inventory (Smash, Undo, Upgrade, Shuffle counts)
• User preferences (sound effects toggle, haptics toggle, neon theme selector)

This data never leaves your device and is not transmitted to our servers.

C. Information Collected by Third-Party Services (Google AdMob)

HYPER 2048 integrates the Google Mobile Ads SDK (Google AdMob) to serve banner ads, interstitial break ads, and optional rewarded video ads (e.g. revive on game over, earning tactical power-ups).

Google AdMob may collect and process pseudonymous data in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy, including:

• Google Advertising ID (AAID / GAID): A user-resettable unique identifier for advertising.
• Device & OS Telemetry: Device model, manufacturer, Android OS version, carrier, and screen dimensions.
• IP Address: Used strictly to derive coarse location (country/city level) and detect advertising fraud.
• Ad Performance & Interaction: Ad display metrics, impressions, click counts, and video completion events.

3. Third-Party Links and Policies

For complete transparency on how Google collects, stores, and utilizes advertising telemetry, we strongly encourage reviewing Google's official privacy documentation:

• Google Privacy Policy
• How Google Uses Information from Sites or Apps that Use Our Services
• Google AdMob Data Safety & Compliance

4. How to Manage or Reset Advertising Identifiers

Android users can control personalized ads and reset their Advertising ID at any time via device settings:

• Open your Android device's Settings app.
• Navigate to Google → Ads (or Privacy → Ads).
• Tap Reset advertising ID or Delete advertising ID to remove cross-app personalization.

5. Android System Permissions

HYPER 2048 requests only the minimal Android system permissions required to operate:

• android.permission.INTERNET: Required for Google AdMob to load banner and rewarded video ads.
• android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: Allows the game to check internet connectivity before attempting to request an ad.
• android.permission.WAKE_LOCK: Ensures continuous 60fps rendering without the screen unexpectedly sleeping mid-combo.
• com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID: Standard Android 13+ permission for Google Play Services advertising identifiers.

6. Children's Privacy (COPPA & Google Play Families Policy)

HYPER 2048 is rated Everyone (PEGI 3 / ESRB Everyone). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. Ad requests sent to Google AdMob are configured in compliance with child-directed treatment flags where required by law. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately so we can take appropriate steps.

7. Data Retention & Deletion Rights

Because all game progress, scores, and preferences are stored exclusively on your device, you have complete sovereignty over your data:

• To erase all game data: Navigate to Android Settings → Apps → HYPER 2048 → Storage → Clear Data.
• Uninstalling the game: Completely and permanently removes all local data files from your device.

8. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy periodically to reflect app updates, new features, or evolving regulatory requirements. Any modifications will be posted to this page with an updated "Last Updated" timestamp. We encourage you to review this page periodically.
