Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 5 August 2026

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Jachsu Games ("we", "us", or "our") handles information when you use CosmIDLE: Idle Space Shooter (the "App"). You can play without signing in or providing your name or email address. If you connect Google Play Games, we create a pseudonymous developer-managed player record to provide cloud save, purchase restoration, and account-bound entitlements. The App also uses optional analytics, advertising, purchasing, and platform services described below.

2. Data Controller and Contact

Controller: Jan Freda, operating as Jachsu Games

Country of operation: Poland

App: CosmIDLE: Idle Space Shooter

Privacy and legal requests: contact.jachsugames@gmail.com

You may use the email address above for privacy questions and requests. A postal address for a legally required request can be provided through the same contact channel where applicable.

3. Information We Process

Depending on the features and choices you use, we or our service providers may process:

Our custom telemetry does not send your email address, player name, Google Advertising ID, or Android ID. Its random installation identifier is generated by the App and is not a Google account identifier.

4. Optional Analytics and Custom Telemetry

The App may use Google Analytics for Firebase and our own limited telemetry delivered through Google Cloud Functions and stored in Cloud Firestore. Analytics is voluntary, disabled by default, and starts only after you make a separate affirmative choice.

We use analytics to:

We do not use our custom telemetry to identify you by name or to track you across other companies' apps or websites.

5. Separate Analytics and Advertising Choices

The App presents two independent privacy choices:

Refusing analytics does not block the game and does not prevent non-personalized ads from being shown where they are permitted. Your analytics choice is not treated as consent to personalized advertising, and your advertising choice is not treated as consent to analytics.

6. Withdrawing Consent

Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

7. Advertising

The App uses Google AdMob to display, deliver, limit, and measure advertisements and to prevent advertising fraud. Depending on your region and UMP choices, ads may be personalized or non-personalized. Google may process the advertising and device data listed in Section 3 under its own terms and privacy policy.

8. Purchases

In-app purchases are processed by Google Play Billing. Google handles payment credentials through your Google account. We process purchase status and related transaction information as needed to deliver purchased content, restore entitlements, provide support, and prevent fraud.

9. Google Play Games Services

Google Play Games sign-in is optional. When you sign in, the App uses Google Play Games Services to authenticate you, retrieve your player profile, and protect your progress through Saved Games.

Cloud saves are associated with your Google Play Games player account. If you do not sign in, progress remains only on the device and may be lost if you uninstall the App, clear its data, or lose access to the device.

You may delete your cloud save and developer-managed account data from Settings → Google Play Games → Delete cloud & account data.

10. Local Saves and Notifications

Game progress is stored locally on your device. If you connect Google Play Games, a copy is also stored through Google Play Games Saved Games. Deleting the App normally removes the local save but does not automatically delete its cloud copy or developer-managed backend data. The in-App account-deletion option removes both. If the App is unavailable, the public deletion-request page explains how to request deletion of developer-managed data and separately remove Cosmidle data from Google Play Games.

Notifications are generated and scheduled locally on your device. They are optional and, where the operating system requires it, are enabled only after system permission is granted. Notification preferences can be changed in the App and in system settings.

11. Legal Bases

Where the GDPR, UK GDPR, or similar law applies, we rely on:

12. Service Providers and Data Sharing

We use the following Google services:

We share information with these providers only as needed for the purposes described in this Policy. Some Google services may act as our processor, while others may process data as an independent controller under Google's terms. See the Google Privacy Policy and Firebase privacy information.

We may also disclose information when required by law, to protect legal rights and safety, or in connection with a business transfer subject to appropriate protections.

13. International Transfers

Google may process information outside your country, including in countries whose data-protection laws differ from yours. Where required, Google and we rely on recognized transfer mechanisms and safeguards, which may include adequacy decisions, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, and European Commission Standard Contractual Clauses, together with technical and organizational security measures. More information is available in Google Cloud's Privacy Resource Center.

14. Data Retention

15. Account and Data Deletion

You may permanently delete your Cosmidle cloud save, local progress, pseudonymous player account, Nova Gems balance, developer-managed entitlements, account sessions, and account-linked telemetry through Settings → Google Play Games → Delete cloud & account data.

You may also request deletion without having the App installed by visiting the Cosmidle account and data deletion page.

Deleting Cosmidle data does not delete your Google account, Google Play Games profile, or Google Play purchase history. Consumed Nova Gems are not restored after deletion. A non-consumable Ad-Free purchase may be restored separately through Google Play Billing.

We may retain minimal, de-linked purchase-verification information where necessary for fraud prevention, transaction integrity, dispute resolution, or legal compliance.

16. Your Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your information; object to processing based on legitimate interests; receive portable data; and withdraw consent at any time. You may also complain to your local data-protection authority.

Requests may be submitted through the in-App deletion option or by emailing contact.jachsugames@gmail.com. We may request limited information necessary to identify the correct pseudonymous account and verify the request. We will never ask for your Google password.

17. United States State Privacy Rights

Residents of certain U.S. states may have rights to know, access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of personal data and to opt out of its sale, sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising, or targeted advertising, subject to applicable law.

Jachsu Games does not sell personal data. Where an applicable state law treats certain personalized-advertising disclosures as a "sale" or "sharing," you can exercise available opt-out choices through Settings → Privacy & Data → Privacy Choices and by contacting us. We will not discriminate against you for exercising an applicable privacy right.

18. Children's Privacy

The App is intended for a general audience aged 13 and older and is not directed to children. Where local law sets a higher age at which a person may independently consent to data processing, a user below that age must use the App only with authorization from a parent or legal guardian. We do not knowingly request a child's name, email address, or other direct contact details through the App.

Our Google Play target-audience declaration, age rating, advertising configuration, and data practices are intended to remain consistent. If we learn that information was collected from a child contrary to applicable law, we will take reasonable steps to delete it. A parent or guardian may contact us using the address in Section 2.

19. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect information, including limited telemetry fields, pseudonymous identifiers, access controls, encrypted transmission provided by platform services, and automatic deletion of raw custom telemetry. No system is completely secure.

20. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy to reflect changes to the App, service providers, or legal requirements. We will change the Effective Date above and provide any additional notice required by law. The App's Google Play Data safety disclosure, Google UMP configuration, Firebase settings, and this Policy should be read consistently.
