Contact: kontakt@sambaapp.se
1. Information You Provide
When using the app you may provide:
- Username
- Game progress
- Support messages (if you contact us)
Your username and progress may be visible to other players through the in-game leaderboard.
We do not collect real names, addresses, emails or phone numbers unless you voluntarily include them in a support email.
2. Information Collected Automatically
The app automatically collects limited technical information necessary for the game to function:
- Device type
- Operating system version
- App version
- Crash reports
- Basic gameplay events (progress, level completion)
This data is used only to operate and improve the game.
3. Purchases
The app offers optional in-app purchases.
All payments are processed securely by Apple App Store.
We:
- Do NOT receive payment card details
- Do NOT store billing information
We only receive confirmation that a purchase was completed.
If you delete your account, consumable items (such as hints) are permanently removed.
Non-consumable purchases (Ad-Free) can be restored using Restore Purchases.
4. Advertising
The free version of the app displays ads provided by Google AdMob.
AdMob may process:
- Advertising identifiers
- Device information
- Ad interactions
This processing follows:
- Your consent choices
- GDPR (EU)
- Apple App Tracking Transparency rules
You may change ad consent at any time inside the app under Privacy Settings.
5. Services We Use
The app relies on trusted third-party services:
| Service | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Apple App Store | Payments & purchase validation |
| Google Firebase | Game data storage & diagnostics |
| Google AdMob | Advertising |
These services may process data according to their own privacy policies.
6. Data Storage
Game data (username, progress, hints) is stored securely in cloud servers (Firebase).
We only store the minimum information required for the game to function.
We do not sell personal data.
We do not use data for profiling or tracking outside the game.
7. Account & Data Deletion
You can delete your account at any time inside the app.
Deleting your account permanently removes:
- Username
- Progress
- Hints
- Stored game data
This action cannot be undone.
Ad-Free purchases can later be restored via Restore Purchases because they are linked to your Apple ID, not your game account.
If you cannot access the app, you may request deletion by contacting:
kontakt@sambaapp.se
8. Children’s Privacy
The app does not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Ads shown to users in regulated regions follow applicable child-protection and consent rules provided by Apple and Google.
9. Legal Basis (EEA/UK)
For users in the European Economic Area and United Kingdom, data processing is based on:
- Legitimate interest — operating and improving the game
- Contract — providing game functionality
- Consent — personalized advertising (where required)
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the app changes.
The latest version will always be available on this page.
