Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to the mobile application Neon Surge (Package Name: com.developerhackzone.neonsurge), created and maintained by DeveloperHackZone ("we", "us", or "our").

We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a positive, transparent experience while playing our game. This policy explains what information is collected, how it is used, and what rights you have regarding your data.

1. Information We Collect

Neon Surge is built with user privacy in mind. We do not require you to create an account, register, or provide personal identification details (such as your real name, physical address, or phone number) to play the game.

Local Gameplay Data: Your high scores, collected coins, mission achievements, and unlocked character skins are stored locally on your device using encrypted/protected local device storage (SharedPreferences). This data stays on your phone and is not uploaded to our private servers.
Device & Usage Data: Third-party services integrated into the app may automatically collect certain diagnostic and advertising identifiers (such as your device model, OS version, advertising ID, IP address, and in-game ad interactions) to serve relevant advertisements and analyze app performance.

2. Third-Party Services & Advertising

The app utilizes trusted third-party services that may collect information used to identify you in accordance with their respective privacy policies:

Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads): Used to display banner, interstitial, and rewarded video ads (such as for reviving your character or doubling earned coins). AdMob may collect and process device advertising identifiers (such as Google Advertising ID / AAID) to deliver personalized or contextual ads.
→ Google AdMob Privacy & Terms
Google Play Services: Used to provide core Android platform support, security validation, and Google Play ecosystem features.
→ Google Play Services Privacy Policy

3. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Our game is designed for a general audience and is family-friendly. We do not knowingly collect or solicit personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately, and we will promptly take steps to remove such data.

4. Data Retention & Security

We value your trust in providing your information. Because all gameplay progress (such as unlocked skins and high scores) is stored locally on your device, you retain full control over this data. You can completely erase your local progress at any time by clearing the application's data or cache via your device's Android App Settings or by uninstalling the application.

5. Your Privacy Rights (GDPR & CCPA)

Depending on your jurisdiction (such as the European Economic Area under GDPR or California under CCPA), you have the right to:

Opt out of personalized advertising by resetting or limiting ad tracking via your Android device settings (Settings → Google → Ads → Reset Advertising ID or Delete Advertising ID).
Request information on the data processed by third-party ad networks.
Request deletion of your data where applicable.

Opting Out of Personalized Ads: You can easily opt out of interest-based advertising on Android devices by navigating to Settings → Google → Ads and toggling Opt out of Ads Personalization or deleting your Advertising ID.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We encourage you to review this page periodically for any changes. Any modifications will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
