Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 25, 2026

GAMEHALLA Studio ("we," "us," "our," or "GAMEHALLA") develops video games distributed through platforms including Google Play and, in the future, Steam. This Privacy Policy explains what information our games collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to all games published by GAMEHALLA Studio unless a specific game states otherwise in its own listing.

By downloading, installing, or playing any GAMEHALLA Studio game, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information Collected Automatically

When you play our games, certain information may be collected automatically through the distribution platform (Google Play, Steam) and any analytics tools we use:

  • Device information (device model, operating system version, unique device or advertising identifiers)
  • Game usage data (levels played, session length, in-game progress, crash reports, performance data)
  • General location (country or region, derived from IP address or store region — not precise GPS location)

1.2 Information You Provide Directly

Some games may allow you to provide information voluntarily, such as:

  • A username or display name for leaderboards or profiles
  • Support or feedback messages sent to us directly
  • Reviews or feedback submitted through the store platform

1.3 Purchase Information

If a game offers in-app purchases or paid content, purchases are processed entirely by the platform (Google Play, Steam). We do not receive or store your payment card details. We may receive confirmation that a purchase occurred, for entitlement purposes (e.g. unlocking content you paid for).

1.4 Information We Do Not Collect

  • We do not knowingly collect precise real-time location data
  • We do not collect government ID numbers, financial account details, or biometric data
  • We do not require account creation with real names or email addresses to play, unless a specific game explicitly offers a linked account feature

2. How We Use Information

We use the information described above to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve our games
  • Diagnose technical issues and fix bugs (crash reporting)
  • Understand how players engage with our games, to guide design decisions
  • Provide leaderboard, achievement, or cloud-save features where applicable
  • Respond to support requests or feedback
  • Comply with legal obligations

3. Third-Party Services

Our games may use third-party services that collect information used to identify you. These services operate under their own privacy policies:

Service TypePurposeExamples
Distribution PlatformDelivery, updates, purchasesGoogle Play, Steam
AnalyticsUnderstanding gameplay behavior, crash reportingGoogle Play Console, Firebase, Steamworks
Advertising (if applicable)Displaying in-game ads for free-to-play titlesGoogle AdMob or similar networks

Not every GAMEHALLA game uses every service listed above — the specific services used depend on the individual game. Where a game contains ads or third-party SDKs, this will also be disclosed in that game's store listing as required by the platform.

4. Children's Privacy

Some of our games may be suitable for a general audience, including children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children beyond what is strictly necessary for the game to function (such as anonymous device identifiers required by the platform), and we do not use children's data for behavioral advertising. Where a game is directed at children, we design it to comply with applicable regulations, including the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and Google Play's Families Policy.

If you believe a child has provided us with personal information beyond what is described here, please contact us using the details below so we can address it.

5. Data Retention

We retain gameplay and analytics data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, such as improving our games or maintaining leaderboards, or as required by law.

6. Your Choices and Rights

  • Ad personalization: You can opt out of personalized advertising through your device settings (e.g. "Opt out of Ads Personalization" on Android, or platform-level ad settings on Steam).
  • Data access or deletion: You may request details of what data we hold about you, or request deletion, by contacting us below. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe.
  • Uninstalling: Uninstalling a game will stop further data collection from that game on your device, though some data may persist with the platform (Google Play/Steam) per their own policies.

Depending on your location, you may have additional rights under laws such as the GDPR (European Economic Area) or CCPA/CPRA (California). Contact us to exercise these rights.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. International Users

Our games are distributed globally. If you access our games from outside the country where our servers or third-party providers are located, your information may be transferred to and processed in other countries, which may have different data protection laws than your own.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our games, services, or legal requirements. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect the most recent revision. Continued use of our games after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
