Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how Habitland Adventures ("Habitland", "we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, shares, protects, retains, and deletes information when you use the Habitland Adventures mobile app and related services.

User-provided content

If the app allows a user or parent to choose or upload an avatar, image, or similar content, that selected content may be stored so it can appear in the app.

Device and technical information

Basic device, app, and network information may be processed by Firebase and platform services to provide authentication, security, cloud storage, database access, and app functionality.
The Android app requests internet access so it can load app content and communicate with Firebase services.

We do not request contacts, microphone, phone, SMS, or call log permissions.
We do not sell personal information.
We do not use personal information for third-party behavioral advertising.

Children's Privacy

Parents or guardians can contact us to review, correct, or request deletion of a child's information.

If we learn that we collected information from a child in a way that requires parental consent and consent was not provided, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information.

Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards to protect information. Firebase services use encrypted connections in transit, and we limit access to app data to what is needed to operate and support the service.

No online service can guarantee complete security, but we work to protect the information handled by the app.

Data Retention and Deletion

We keep account and app progress information for as long as needed to provide the app, support the user account, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain security.

A parent, guardian, or user may request account or data deletion by contacting us. After a verified deletion request, we will delete or de-identify personal information unless we need to keep limited information for legal, safety, fraud-prevention, or operational reasons.

You can request access, correction, or deletion of personal information by contacting us.
You can manage Google account permissions through your Google account settings.
