1. Overview
Croak Wars is a casual strategy game for Android developed by Little Alice Games. It is intended for players aged 13 and older, and it is not directed to children under 13.
We aim to collect as little data as possible. This policy explains what information the game and its service providers process, why it is used, the choices available to players, and how to contact us.
2. Information You Provide
Croak Wars does not require you to register with a name, email address, phone number, or postal address.
For local and online matches, you may choose a player display name and colour. In online play, your display name, colour, seat, and gameplay actions are shared with the other players in that match. Please do not use your real name or include personal information in a display name.
If you email us for support or a privacy request, we receive your email address and the information you include in your message.
3. Information Processed Automatically
Depending on the features you use and the privacy choices you make, Croak Wars and its service providers may process:
- An anonymous Unity player or authentication identifier
- A randomly generated identifier stored on your device, used to reclaim your seat when you reconnect to an online match
- Device type, operating system, app version, language, and general device information
- IP address, approximate region, network status, and connection information
- App interactions, gameplay events, match and session information
- Crash, error, performance, and diagnostic information
- Advertising identifiers and ad interaction data only when advertising is enabled and permitted
We do not use the game to collect your precise location, contacts, photos, videos, microphone recordings, or camera data.
4. Optional Analytics
Croak Wars uses Unity Analytics to help us understand whether tutorials and matches work well and to improve the game. Analytics is off until a player explicitly selects “Allow” in the first-launch prompt or enables “Share analytics” in the game’s Privacy & Data settings. It can be disabled again at any time from the same settings screen.
When enabled, the game may report tutorial progress and match information such as game mode, AI difficulty, board size, player count, match duration, turn count, and result. Our custom analytics events do not include player-entered display names or message content.
Unity may also process standard device, service, and diagnostic data as described in its privacy documentation. Disabling analytics stops new optional analytics collection from the game; it does not automatically delete information collected previously.
5. Online Multiplayer
Online multiplayer uses Unity Gaming Services, including anonymous authentication, multiplayer sessions, networking, and relay services. These services process identifiers, network and connection data, room or session information, and gameplay state as needed to create, join, maintain, reconnect to, and secure online matches.
Other players in the same match can see the display name, colour, seat, connection state, and gameplay actions associated with your player. They do not receive your email address, device identifier, or Unity authentication identifier from Croak Wars.
6. Advertising
Advertising is currently disabled in Croak Wars. A future version may enable interstitial or rewarded advertisements through Unity LevelPlay and mediated advertising networks such as Google AdMob.
If advertising is enabled, participating services may process device or advertising identifiers, IP-derived approximate location, app and ad interactions, and diagnostic information to show, limit, secure, and measure ads. Where required, the game will collect or apply an appropriate advertising privacy choice before initializing advertising services.
Because Croak Wars is not directed to children under 13, we do not knowingly enable child-directed advertising treatment for this game. Any advertising we enable in future will be configured in line with applicable law and store policy for a 13-and-older audience.
7. Purchases
If in-app purchases are offered, payment processing is handled by Google Play. Croak Wars does not receive or store your complete payment-card details. We may receive purchase status and entitlement information needed to deliver and restore purchased game content.
8. Device Permissions
Croak Wars does not request access to sensitive device permissions such as camera, microphone, contacts, photos, videos, or precise location.
9. Children’s Privacy
Croak Wars is intended for players aged 13 and older. It is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
If we learn that we have collected information from a child under 13, we will delete it and request deletion from the relevant service providers. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with information, contact us at the address below and we will investigate.
In some countries the age of consent for data processing is higher than 13. If you are under that age where you live, please use Croak Wars only with the consent of a parent or guardian.
10. Third-Party Services
Croak Wars uses or may use the following service providers, each of which processes information under its own terms and privacy policy:
- Unity Technologies — Analytics, Authentication, Multiplayer, Relay, and LevelPlay
- Google — Google Play Services, Google Play billing, and AdMob if advertising is enabled
These providers may process data in countries other than the one where you live, subject to their legal safeguards.
11. How Information Is Used and Shared
Information is used to provide and secure gameplay, operate online matches, remember settings and progress, diagnose problems, respond to support requests, understand and improve the game when analytics is enabled, deliver purchases, and provide ads if advertising is enabled.
We do not sell your personal information. Information is shared only with other match participants as described above, with service providers that operate game features, when you direct us to share it, or when disclosure is required by law or necessary to protect players, the game, or our rights.
12. Local Storage, Retention & Deletion
Game settings, campaign progress, entitlements, and similar preferences may be stored locally on your device. You can remove this local information by clearing the app’s storage or uninstalling the app. The in-game reset control removes campaign progress but does not remove every setting or information already processed by a service provider.
Online, analytics, purchase, and diagnostic information is retained by the relevant service provider only as long as needed for the purposes described above or as required by law, according to that provider’s retention practices.
To request access to or deletion of information associated with Croak Wars, email us at the address below. Because the game does not require a traditional account, we may ask for limited information needed to locate and verify the relevant records. We will respond and submit applicable provider requests as required by law.
13. Security
We and our service providers use reasonable technical and organisational measures intended to protect information. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure.
14. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the game, its service providers, or legal requirements change. We will post the revised policy on this page and update the effective date above.
