Samguk Merge (the "Game") is operated by owlzworks. The Game keeps your account and progress on its server and shows ads through Google AdMob. This policy explains what the Game handles, why, and for how long. We do not ask for your name, email address or phone number.
1. Information we handle and why
Guest account: when you first start the Game, the server creates a random account identifier and a sign-in secret, which are kept on your device. Your in-game nickname is chosen automatically and you can change it; it is shown to other players in the Rival Warlords ranking.
Game progress: your currencies, generals, relics, stages, purchases made in the Game, and your Rival Warlords formation, score and battle records are stored on the server, so that you can keep playing and so that the server can stop tampered progress.
Ad reward checks: when you finish a rewarded ad, Google AdMob tells our server your account identifier and a transaction number, so that each ad is rewarded once. These records are deleted after 7 days.
Purchases: payments are handled by the app store (Google Play, App Store, ONE store). We receive which product was bought, never your card or payment details.
Connection data: Cloudflare, which runs our server, processes your IP address and similar connection data to deliver each request. The Game does not store your IP address.
2. Advertising
The Game shows rewarded ads through Google AdMob. AdMob may collect your device's advertising identifier and related device data to serve, measure and personalise ads. See Google's privacy policy (policies.google.com/privacy).
Where the law requires it (for example the EEA and the UK), a consent form is shown before ads are requested, and you can change your choice later under Settings → Privacy choices. On iOS, the system asks whether the Game may use the advertising identifier for tracking.
You can reset or delete your advertising identifier, or turn off personalised ads, in your device settings at any time.
3. How long we keep it
Your account and progress are kept until you ask us to delete them, and are then deleted without delay. Ad reward checks are deleted after 7 days. Sign-in tokens stop working when they expire.
The guest account lives on your device. If you delete the Game or its data, you may not be able to sign in to the same account again; ask us by email if you want the server's copy deleted.
4. Sharing, processors and transfers abroad
We do not sell your information or give it to third parties, except where the law requires it.
Cloudflare, Inc. (United States) runs our server and database. It receives your account identifier, game progress and connection data over the network whenever you play, and stores them in its data centres (including the Asia-Pacific region) for the periods above.
Google LLC (United States) serves ads and checks ad rewards through AdMob. It receives your advertising identifier, device data and account identifier when an ad is requested or watched, under Google's policies.
The app stores process payments under their own policies.
5. Your rights
You can ask to see, correct, delete or stop the processing of your information by emailing us with your in-game nickname. We will answer without undue delay.
You can withdraw ad consent under Settings → Privacy choices (where offered) or in your device settings.
6. Security
All traffic between the Game and the server is encrypted (HTTPS). Sign-in secrets and tokens are stored on the server only as hashes. Access to the server is limited to the operator.
7. Children
The Game is not directed at children under 14, and we do not knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child has used the Game, contact us and we will delete the account.
8. Privacy officer and changes
Privacy officer: owlzworks (owl.works.one@gmail.com).
We will post any change to this policy on this page and update the date above.
