Alien Rescue - Privacy Policy
1. Who we are
Alien Rescue is a puzzle game made by Eyco Studios, an independent developer in Israel ("we"). Questions about privacy: support@eycostudios.com. In the game: Settings > Contact us.
2. The short version
- There are no accounts and no sign-in. We never ask for your name, email, phone number, contacts, photos or location.
- Your progress, coins, items, settings, the name you choose and your year of birth stay on your phone.
- The game does not send gameplay statistics or crash reports today. If we add them, we will update this policy first.
- Purchases are made through Google Play. We never see your payment details.
- There are no ads in the game today.
3. What stays on your device
The game keeps its own records on your phone: your progress through the levels, coins, diamonds and items, your settings, the name you choose, the messages you have read, and the year of birth you entered. We do not receive these records. Deleting the game deletes them.
4. Your year of birth
When you start playing, the game asks for your year of birth. It is used only on your phone, to set up the game for your age group (for example, whether you type a name or pick one of ours). We do not send your year of birth, or your age group, to anyone.
5. Gameplay statistics and crash reports
The game does not send gameplay statistics, gameplay replays or crash reports today. To find bugs and improve the levels we plan to add Google Analytics for Firebase and Firebase Crashlytics. Before a version of the game that sends them is released, we will update this policy and say exactly what is sent and how long it is kept.
6. Purchases
Purchases such as "Remove ads" are made through Google Play Billing and follow Google's terms. Google handles the payment; we never see your card or payment details. The game gets a confirmation of what was bought (the product and an order number) and keeps it on your phone, so that it can restore the purchase after a reinstall. We have no server, and nothing about your purchase is sent to us.

7. Ads
The game shows no ads today. If we add ads, we will update this policy first and say which ad network is used and what it collects. Players under 13, and players whose age is not known, would get only non-personalised ads suitable for all ages, from ad networks that Google Play has approved for children.
8. Children
Alien Rescue can be played by children, teens and adults. The year of birth the game asks for (section 4) stays on the phone, and is used to set up the game for players under 13:
- They pick a name from our list instead of typing one.
- If we add ads, they would get only the ads described in section 7.
Purchases (section 6) work the same for every age, through Google Play, and nothing about them is sent to us.
Before we add anything that sends data from the game (section 5), we will update this policy and say how it works for players under 13.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If a child writes to us by email, we use the message only to reply, and then delete it. Parents who believe their child has sent us personal information can write to support@eycostudios.com and we will delete it.
9. Sharing
We do not sell or rent your data. The data in section 6 goes only to the service providers named there, who process it for us. We may disclose information if the law requires it.
10. Security
Everything the game sends is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/TLS). We do not run our own servers; the data is stored by Google, which may process it outside your country (Google takes part in the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Frameworks).
11. Your choices and rights
- Your records stay on your phone. Deleting the game deletes them.
- Depending on where you live (for example the EU, the UK or Israel), you may have the right to ask what data we have about you, to correct it or to have it deleted. Write to support@eycostudios.com. The game has no accounts, so we hold almost nothing about you; purchase records are kept by Google Play.
12. Changes
We may update this policy. The date at the top shows the latest version. If a change affects what we collect, we will update this page before the new version of the game is released.
