Monkey vs Aliens Privacy Policy
Monkey vs Aliens is a casual match-3 adventure game. The current release does not require account sign-in and stores all gameplay progress locally on your device. The game itself does not collect personal information; where ads or in-app purchases are enabled, the embedded Google services process limited technical data as described in Section 4.
1. Developer and application
- Application: Monkey vs Aliens (猴子大战外星人)
- Package:
com.monkeyaliens.match3 - Developer: POI Studio
- Privacy contact: poistudio.dev@protonmail.com
2. Data stored on your device
The game may store the following data locally on your device:
- Level progress, stars earned, and best abyss scores.
- Selected monkey hero, shop state, and season pass progress.
- Audio and display settings.
- A local crash log (error messages only) used to diagnose bugs.
This data is processed on the device. It does not leave your device unless you use your platform's standard backup mechanisms.
3. Permissions and Android access
The game requests only the INTERNET permission, which is required by the underlying runtime. It does not access contacts, storage, camera, microphone, SMS, or Call Log, and it never reads device location sensors (see Section 4 for IP-derived approximate location used by the ad service).
4. Third-party services and data they process
Google Play itself processes your download and, where enabled in your build, Google Play Billing handles optional in-app purchases and Google AdMob serves rewarded video ads. We never receive your payment details or Google account identity. Where enabled, these services automatically process the following data, encrypted in transit (TLS), for advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention:
- Device or other identifiers: Android advertising ID (which you can reset or delete in Android Settings) and app set ID.
- Approximate location: estimated from your IP address by the ad service; the game itself never reads GPS or location sensors.
- App interactions: for example app launches, taps, and video views.
- Diagnostics: for example app launch time, hang rate, and energy usage.
- Purchase history: purchases you make via Google Play Billing are processed by Google under the Google Privacy Policy.
If rewarded ads or in-app purchases are disabled or unavailable in your build, those services do not run.
5. Children's privacy
The game is a casual puzzle game and is not directed to children under 13. POI Studio does not knowingly collect personal information from children or any other users.
6. Storage, retention, and deletion
- Game progress is stored in the application's private on-device storage.
- You can delete all on-device game data through Android's "Clear storage" control or by uninstalling the game.
- You can reset or delete the advertising ID used by ads in Android Settings (Privacy > Ads).
How to request deletion of your data
To request deletion of any data held about you, email poistudio.dev@protonmail.com with "Data Deletion Request – Monkey vs Aliens" in the subject. We will delete the applicable data we hold within 30 days and confirm by reply. On-device data is deleted instantly via "Clear storage" or uninstalling; ad-related identifiers are removed by resetting your advertising ID in Android Settings; data held by Google (Play Billing and ad records) is managed through your Google Account at myaccount.google.com/data-and-privacy.
7. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the game's functionality or data practices change. The effective date at the top of this page will be updated. Material changes will be disclosed through an app update or the Google Play listing where appropriate.
