1. Who We Are

Good Loop Studio ("we," "our," or "us") develops and operates mobile games and applications. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you play our games or use our apps (collectively, the "Services").

We do not sell your personal information. We share information only in the following circumstances:

6. Your Choices

Push notifications

You can disable push notifications at any time through your device's system settings (Settings → Notifications → [Game Name]). Disabling notifications does not affect gameplay.

Advertising identifiers

You can reset or limit the use of your advertising identifier:

Account and cloud data

If you have signed in with Google, you can unlink your account from within the game's Settings panel. Your local save data will remain on the device. To request deletion of your cloud data, contact us at the address in Section 13.

Deleting the app

Uninstalling the game removes locally stored data from your device. Data already stored in our cloud (Firebase Firestore) is retained per our retention policy in Section 9, unless you request deletion.

7. Your Privacy Rights (EEA, UK & Switzerland)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you have the following rights under the GDPR and equivalent legislation:

Right of access Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Right to rectification Ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
Right to erasure Request deletion of your personal data, subject to legal obligations.
Right to restriction Ask us to limit how we process your data in certain circumstances.
Right to portability Receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format.
Right to object Object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing.
Right to withdraw consent Withdraw consent at any time where processing is consent-based (e.g., personalised ads, notifications).
Right to lodge a complaint File a complaint with your national data protection authority (e.g., AEPD in Spain).

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@goodloopstudio.com. We will respond within the timeframe required by applicable law (generally 30 days).

Supervisory authorities

8. Children

Our Services are available to users of all ages; however, we apply additional protections for younger users.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or under 16 where required by applicable law, including GDPR) without verifiable parental consent. Our games do not include features that require children to submit personal information beyond what is strictly necessary to play.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal data without your consent, please contact us at contact@goodloopstudio.com and we will promptly delete the information.

Where required by applicable app store policies or law, we may limit the collection of advertising identifiers and the delivery of personalised ads for users identified as children.

9. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to provide the Services and fulfil the purposes described in this Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law.

When data is no longer needed, we delete it or anonymise it so that it can no longer be associated with you.

10. Data Transfers

Good Loop Studio operates globally. Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries outside your country of residence, including the United States, where our service providers (Google, Unity, IronSource) maintain infrastructure.

If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, such transfers are made subject to appropriate safeguards, including the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), or equivalent mechanisms under applicable law. By using our Services you acknowledge these transfers.

11. Security

We implement commercially reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information — including Firebase's built-in security rules restricting each user's access to their own data, encrypted data transmission (TLS), and access controls on our internal systems.

No system is 100% secure. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately at contact@goodloopstudio.com.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. For material changes, we will notify you through the app or via push notification before the change takes effect.

Your continued use of the Services after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
