Privacy Policy

01

Who we are

Chonk Crunch is published by El Destro 5000. This policy covers the Chonk Crunch mobile game on iOS and Android (application identifier com.eldestro5000.chonkcrunch).

02

What we collect

Gameplay, crash and device information is collected through Google Firebase (Analytics and Crashlytics), which acts as our data processor. Purchase records are kept by our purchase-checking server, which also runs on Google Firebase.

Identifiers we use

Neither is an advertising ID — neither is your device’s advertising identifier (Android Advertising ID or Apple IDFA), and neither can be used to recognise you in other apps.

The game does have permission to read the Android advertising ID, but only our advertising partners use it, and only for players aged 13 or over — see Advertising below. It is never added to our analytics.

03

What we do not collect

We do not collect your name, email address, phone number, postal address, precise or approximate location, contacts, photos, microphone or camera input, or any payment information. (For players aged 13 or over, our advertising partners may estimate a general location from your IP address — see Advertising.)

This is enforced in the game’s own code, not only by policy: before any event is sent, it is checked against a list of prohibited fields — including name, email, phone, address, location, IP address and any advertising identifier. If an event contains one of those fields it is discarded and never sent.

04

Turning analytics off

Analytics collection is on by default and can be switched off at any time in Settings › Analytics.

When it is off, events are discarded inside the game before they are recorded or queued — nothing is stored on your device waiting to be sent, and no analytics are transmitted. The setting takes effect immediately and persists between sessions. Crash reporting is retained so we can still fix crashes that would otherwise make the game unplayable.

05

Deleting your data

You can ask us to delete the analytics data linked to your device at any time. In Chonk Crunch, open Settings, choose Delete my data, and hold the button for two seconds. We then ask Google to erase the Google Analytics history for your device, and the app switches to a new analytics ID that isn’t linked to the old history. Your game progress is stored only on your device and isn’t affected.

We keep records of in-app purchases (the product, the store’s purchase token and a random install ID the app creates) for fraud prevention and to meet legal obligations. Crash reports are deleted automatically after 90 days. To stop analytics collection altogether, turn off Settings › Analytics.

06

Information stored only on your device

Your game progress and settings — score, unlocked content, volume, haptics and your analytics choice — are saved locally on your device. They are not uploaded to us. Uninstalling the game removes them.

If you allow notifications, reminders are scheduled by your device itself. We do not send push messages from a server, and no notification data leaves your device.

If you use the share button to save a screenshot, the image is written to your photo library by your device’s own share sheet. The game does not read your photo library.

07

Who your information is shared with

We share the information described above with Google, who provide Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics and the hosting for our purchase-checking server on our behalf. See Firebase’s privacy information and Google’s privacy policy.

For players aged 13 or over, the advertising partners named under Advertising receive the information described there, which they use to provide ads.

We do not sell your information for money or share it with data brokers. Under some US state laws, letting advertising partners use your advertising ID for personalised ads can count as “selling” or “sharing” it. You can limit this with your device’s own ad controls — resetting or deleting your advertising ID, or opting out of personalised ads — described under Advertising. We may disclose information if required by law.

08

Advertising

Chonk Crunch can show ads: short videos you choose to watch for a reward, ads between rounds, and a banner. They are delivered through Unity LevelPlay, which selects an ad from our advertising partners — ironSource Ads, Unity Ads and Google AdMob.

To show, measure and limit ads, and to prevent ad fraud, these partners collect your device’s advertising identifier (on Android, the Android Advertising ID, and the app set ID), your IP address, from which they may estimate your general location, basic device and app information such as model, operating system and language, diagnostic information about how the ads perform, and how you interact with the ads. Where the law requires your consent — for example in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom — the game asks for it through Google’s consent form before any ad loads, and you can change your choice at any time in Settings › Privacy options.

Players under 13, and players who have not told us their age, are never shown an ad: the ad software is never started for them, so neither it nor our partners receive their advertising identifier.

You can also reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of personalised ads, in your device’s settings (on most Android phones, under Privacy › Ads). Each partner’s own privacy policy explains what it does with this information: Unity (LevelPlay, ironSource Ads and Unity Ads) and Google AdMob.

09

Where information is processed, and how long we keep it

Firebase processes data on Google’s servers, which may be located outside your country. Analytics data is retained according to our Firebase configuration and is deleted automatically when that period elapses. Crash reports are deleted automatically after 90 days. Purchase records are kept for fraud prevention and to meet legal obligations.

Information is transmitted over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS).

10

Children

Chonk Crunch contains no chat or other communication features and no social features. Before any ad can be shown, the game asks for the player’s year of birth, and it keeps only that year, on the device. Players under 13, and players who have not answered, are never shown ads and the game never reads their advertising identifier; any analytics and crash data from their play is used only to run and improve the game. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children beyond that.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us using the details below and we will remove it.

11

Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live you may have additional rights over your personal information, such as access, correction, deletion or objection. Contact us and we will respond.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. Material changes will be described here before they take effect.
