Privacy Policy – Netherwheel
The game is fully playable offline. Only when online does it send the data below to our server, to provide leaderboards, accounts, cloud save and other players' "ghosts".
1. Data we collect
| Data | Used for |
|---|---|
| Device/app identifier or a random install ID | Guest login, no account needed |
| Username, password (stored only as a salted scrypt hash, never in plain text), remember-me tokens (hashed) | Accounts, to continue on another device |
| Display name you choose, scores and run statistics (time, kills, hero, Court, power) | Public leaderboards |
| Game progress save, device model | Cloud backup/restore when you tap Backup or after a run |
| In-game death position, hero and blessings (never your real location) | The "ghost" feature shown to other players |
| Google Play purchase info (product ID, order ID) | Purchase verification, restoring purchases, granting items, fraud prevention |
| IP address and access time in server logs | Security, abuse prevention, debugging |
| Name reports submitted by players | Leaderboard moderation |
We do not collect your real name, phone number, contacts, GPS location, photos, microphone or card data (payments are handled by Google Play).
2. Ads (if enabled)
The game may show opt-in rewarded ads from Google AdMob. AdMob may collect the advertising ID, device information and ad interactions under Google's Privacy Policy. Users in the EEA/UK are asked for consent first and can change their choice at any time in Settings › Ad preferences. You can also reset or disable ad personalization in your device's Google settings.
3. Sharing
We do not sell data. Data is only shared with Google Play (payments), Google AdMob (ads, if enabled) and our hosting provider. Your display name and scores are public on leaderboards.
Our game server is located in Vietnam. If you play from another country (including the EEA, UK and Switzerland), the data in section 1 is transferred to and stored in Vietnam, only to provide the online features described above.
4. Retention and deletion
- Account data is kept until you delete your account: in the game via Settings › Account › Delete account, or see the account deletion page.
- On deletion, your account, character, cloud save, leaderboard entries and ghosts are removed immediately. Purchase receipts (without raw payment data) are kept for up to 5 years for accounting and fraud prevention.
- Daily/weekly leaderboards expire after 3 weeks; ghosts after 14 days; server logs after at most 30 days.
5. Security
Passwords are salted and hashed (scrypt); traffic is encrypted. No method is perfectly secure, so please use a password you don't use anywhere else.
6. Children
The game is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect data from children under 13. If you believe this has happened, contact us and we will delete it.
7. Changes and contact
This policy may be updated; the date above always reflects the current version. For any question or data request: namnguyencong1612@gmail.com. You can ask to access, correct or delete your data, or object to its processing; we reply within 30 days.
