This policy explains what information the game "Middle East 2030" (the "Game"), published by aviisr-games ("we"), uses and why. The Game has no custom accounts, no chat, and no server of its own. It supports optional sign-in through Apple Game Center (iOS) and Google Play Games Services (Android) for leaderboards and achievements.
1. What stays on your device
The Game saves the following only on your phone or tablet, and never sends it to us:
your settings (language, text size, music, sound effects, alarm sounds, vibration, animations, reminders and the newspaper style),
your progress (the run in progress, how many runs you finished, and your Morning Edition results and streak),
your ad privacy choice,
which purchases you own (a copy, so the Game works offline).
Deleting the Game deletes this information.
What the Game itself sends
Game analytics (from version 1.6): the Game sends anonymous usage events to Unity Gaming Services Analytics (for example: a term started, a month printed, a term ended and how, a code entered, a purchase completed), with a random install identifier created by Unity. No name, email, contacts or free text. They are sent only if you chose "Allow relevant ads", or if your region does not require consent; choosing "Limit ad data" in "Ad privacy" stops them. Unity's policy: https://unity.com/legal/game-player-and-app-user-privacy-policy
Platform game services and leaderboards (Game Center on iOS, Google Play Games Services on Android): when a term ends or when you open achievements/leaderboards, the Game connects to Apple's Game Center (iOS) or Google Play Games Services (Android) to authenticate your gamer profile and submit your scores or achievements. These services operate under Apple's and Google's respective privacy policies. If you are not signed in to Game Center or Google Play Games, nothing is sent. Saved games in the cloud are not enabled on Android; your gameplay progress remains stored locally on your device.
Reminders: if you allow notifications, the Game schedules up to three reminders on your device when you leave. They are local notifications: nothing is sent to a server, and opening the Game cancels them. You can turn them off on the title screen.
2. Advertising
The Game is free and shows ads, unless you buy "Remove ads". Ads are delivered by:
Unity LevelPlay (formerly ironSource), the ad mediation service, and
these ad networks: Unity Ads, Google AdMob, InMobi, Moloco, Chartboost, Pangle, BIGO Ads, Meta Audience Network, AppLovin and Mintegral.
LevelPlay and Unity Ads are provided by Unity Technologies; Google AdMob by Google; InMobi by InMobi; Moloco by Moloco; Chartboost by Chartboost (part of LoopMe); Pangle by Bytedance; BIGO Ads by BIGO Technology; Meta Audience Network by Meta Platforms; AppLovin by AppLovin; and Mintegral by Mintegral. To show, measure and limit ads and to prevent fraud, these services may collect from your device:
device and advertising identifiers (for example Apple's IDFA, Google's Advertising ID, or IDFV),
an approximate location derived from your IP address,
device information (model, operating system, language, network type),
ad interactions (which ads were shown or tapped) and app interactions,
diagnostic and performance data.
Before any ad is requested, the Game asks you once whether ads may use data to be more relevant. You can change this at any time under "Ad privacy" on the title screen.
If you choose limited ads, the Game tells the ad services that you did not consent to personalized advertising.
On iPhone and iPad, Apple's tracking prompt appears only if you chose personalized ads, and your answer to Apple's prompt always wins.
These services process data under their own privacy policies:
You can also reset your advertising identifier or limit ad tracking in your device settings.
3. Purchases
"Remove ads", the Cabinet Edition, scenario packs and newspaper themes are sold through the Apple App Store or Google Play. They process the payment. We never see your payment details. The Game only checks that you own the purchase.
4. What we do not do
We do not sell your personal information.
We do not ask for your name, email, contacts, photos, or precise location.
"Send feedback" opens your device's default email client with a draft addressed to us, including technical diagnostics (app version and build number, operating system and device model, language, active screen, stage context, recent session event trail, and an encoded month replay state). You review the full email draft before sending it; we use this information exclusively to troubleshoot issues and respond to your inquiries.
5. Sharing a front page
If you tap "Share", the Game creates a picture of your final front page and opens your device's share sheet. Nothing is sent unless you choose where to share it.
6. Children
The Game is a political strategy game made for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country). The ad services are told that the Game is not child-directed. If you believe a child has used the Game and data was collected, contact us and we will help you request deletion from the ad services. Where the store's age check applies to your account (for example, under some US state laws or in Brazil), the Game asks Apple (iPhone, from version 2.3) or Google Play (Android, from version 2.3.1) for your age range. It never learns your birth date, only whether you are under 13, 13 to 17, or an adult, and keeps that answer on your device. If you are under 18, or on iPhone choose not to share, the Game turns off relevant ads and game analytics whatever you chose in "Ad privacy"; under 13 the ad services are also told the Game is being used by a child.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, the UK GDPR, or California law), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or object to the processing of personal data, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for targeted advertising.
Because we hold no personal data ourselves, the fastest way to exercise these rights over advertising data is the "Ad privacy" setting in the Game, your device's advertising settings, and the ad services' policies linked above.
You can also write to us and we will pass your request on.
8. Changes
If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top and the version inside the Game.
