This Privacy Policy explains our approach to privacy and data in apps developed by us (“Syrupy”).
Our apps don’t collect any of your personal information for us, or send any of such information to us, as we don’t need nor want any.
However, our apps use third-party services and libraries; which may collect, transmit, and/or use certain data, such as cookies, in order to function. These third-party services and libraries are detailed below.
1. Google AdMob
Our apps, which are available to download and use free of charge, contain Google AdMob to support the development. Their applicable privacy policy can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy. Additional supplemental information/explanation is available at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. For instance (please still refer to their privacy policy, which prevails in any case over the following summary); Google AdMob may collect, transmit, and/or use cookies, advertising identifier, device information (e.g. type, operating system, settings), network information, application version number, and interaction with their services (e.g. ad views or interaction). These are used for Google AdMob to function, and provide better and safer services, including but not limited to preventing ad frauds. Google AdMob may also use them to tailor ads. Their secure data handling procedures, such as use of encryption while data is in transit, and instructions on how to export, update, remove, or delete your data, are also provided in their privacy policy.
If you are in the EU, you also have the choice of opting-in to or opting-out from Google AdMob’s ad tailoring using cookies, advertising identifier, and/or other data, within our apps; as required by the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR).
In California, AdMob’s data processing will be automatically restricted on our apps, such that it will only show non-personalized or generic ads, in order to comply with the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).
Additionally; regardless of your location, but if the option is made available to you by Google, advertising settings (including opting-in to or opting-out from ad tailoring/personalization) can also be changed at: https://www.google.com/settings/u/0/ads/authenticated.
2. Google User Messaging Platform (UMP)
The Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) is used in our apps, complementing AdMob, in order to determine required consents and collect any required consents for AdMob to operate. The applicable privacy policy can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy. For instance (please still refer to their privacy policy, which prevails in any case over the following summary); the Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) may collect, transmit, and/or use cookies, advertising identifier, limited device and network information, application information, interaction with the User Messaging Platform (UMP) form, and consent information. Their secure data handling procedures, such as use of encryption while data is in transit, and instructions on how to export, update, remove, or delete your data, are provided in their privacy policy.
3. Google Play Billing
The Google Play billing system is used for any paid app, in-app, or subscription transactions. Therefore, if you choose to perform any of such transactions, it will be made with and processed by Google Play. Google Play will collect and store the information related to the transaction, in accordance to their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy. Details on collected data, secure data handling process such as encryption, instructions on how to export, update, remove or delete your data are covered in their privacy policy. A subset of the transaction information containing only non-sensitive data (such as purchase time and state, order number, application name, product SKU) will be made accessible to us, which will allow us to serve you in case of any purchase-related inquiries. The apps may also use the Google Play Billing Library to verify purchase and/or subscription status.
4. Google Play Core
The Google Play Core libraries are used to interface the apps with Google Play Store, for features/tasks specific to the Google Play Store. Uses include: checking if a feature module or language pack of the app has been downloaded, and requesting a feature module or language pack download if it is required by the user but is not yet downloaded; checking if an update to the app or its components is available; and requesting in-app reviews to be submitted to the Google Play Store. As with the Google Play platform, the applicable privacy policy can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy. To summarize (please still refer to their privacy policy, which prevails in any case over the following summary); the Google Play Core libraries may collect and transmit application version (e.g. to determine the relevant module/language/asset packs or if an update is available), list of application modules and asset packs installed, list of languages installed, user-entered data for reviews (shared on the Google Play Store), and device metadata (e.g. to ensure that any downloads or service provided by the Google Play Store through the libraries are relevant to the device). Data transmission is encrypted; and is deleted after their fixed retention period or in case of app reviews, deletion can be requested by the user in their Google Play Store account or Google account. For additional details on data collection, secure data handling procedures, instructions on how to export, update, remove or delete your data, please refer to their privacy policy.
In addition to data collected by third-party services and libraries described above, any information you actively provide/send to us (for example, if you send us an email) will be received, used/processed, and retained as deemed necessary in order to process your request (for example, if you send us an email requesting help), improve our products (for example, if you send us your suggestions), or fulfill any lawful legal request/process/obligation. Regardless, we employ security measures on our end, such as encryption, strict access controls and access logs, while handling such information that you may actively provide/send to us.
By using our apps, you acknowledge that you agree to this Privacy Policy and consent to the information collection, storage, disclosure, and use/processing as set forth in this Privacy Policy. For any inquiries, you can reach out to us at syrupygames@gmail.com.
