Privacy policy

Last updated

How information is used when you play CoreBo, and the choices available to you.

1. About this policy

Sean Rada (“we,” “us,” or “our”) develops CoreBo. This policy explains how information is processed when you use the CoreBo iOS app, visit its pages on seanrada.com, or contact us about the app. CoreBo is intended for people ages 13 and older and is not directed at children under 13.

For privacy questions or requests, email sean.rada@gmail.com. This policy describes the app’s current services; it does not mean that every category of information is collected in every interaction.

2. Information we process

  • Saved gameplay. Robot state, progress, upgrades, customization, rewards, settings, and records used to prevent duplicate purchase delivery are stored on your device. Saved gameplay can also sync through your private Apple iCloud database when available.
  • Usage and device information. Google Analytics for Firebase processes app-instance identifiers, device and operating-system information, app activity, and approximate location derived from network information. CoreBo sends events about screens, tutorials, care actions, collected currency, upgrades, selected paths, rewards, and advertising outcomes.
  • Purchase information. Apple handles payment. CoreBo processes product identifiers, verified transactions, transaction identifiers, purchase outcomes, and purchased currency to deliver and record purchases. Purchase events and transaction information are also reported to Firebase Analytics. We do not receive your full payment-card details from Apple.
  • Advertising information. Google AdMob and its advertising partners may process IP addresses, approximate location, app- or device-related identifiers, diagnostic and performance information, ads viewed, and ad interactions to deliver and measure advertising. Availability of advertising identifiers depends on device permissions and SDK configuration.
  • Game Center activity. When you are signed in to Game Center, CoreBo reports completed achievements to Apple. Apple processes Game Center account and activity information under its own privacy terms.
  • Support correspondence. If you contact us, we receive your email address and whatever information you include, such as your message, screenshots, or troubleshooting details. Please avoid sending payment credentials or other sensitive information.

3. How information is used

Information is used to operate CoreBo, save and synchronize progress, deliver purchases and achievements, provide optional rewarded ads, measure app and advertising performance, understand feature usage, troubleshoot problems, respond to support and privacy requests, protect the service, and meet legal obligations.

Usage information helps us understand how players use CoreBo and improve it. Device and app identifiers can distinguish installations or activity over time; this collection should not be understood as entirely anonymous. Advertising providers may use information for ad selection, measurement, and, where permitted by their settings, permissions, and applicable law, personalization.

4. Providers and information sharing

CoreBo uses the following services. Their processing and available controls are described in their privacy information:

Information is also processed through the hosting and email services needed to serve this website and handle correspondence. We may disclose information when required by law, to respond to valid legal requests, or as reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, and security. If CoreBo is transferred to another operator, relevant information may be transferred subject to applicable law.

5. The app and this website

The CoreBo app includes analytics and advertising SDKs. This privacy-policy page is a static webpage: it adds no analytics scripts, advertising SDKs, or tracking cookies. The website’s hosting and security infrastructure processes ordinary request information, such as IP addresses and requested URLs, to deliver and protect the site.

Following a link to Google, Apple, or another external service takes you to a service with its own data practices. This policy does not replace that service’s privacy information.

6. Storage and retention

Different information is stored in different places:

  • Local gameplay and preferences remain on your device until reset or removed through app or device controls. Device backups may retain separate copies.
  • iCloud gameplay is stored in your private iCloud database when synchronization is available. Removing the app from one device does not necessarily remove its iCloud data or backups.
  • Analytics and advertising records are processed in Google’s and relevant providers’ systems according to service configurations, retention settings, and their applicable policies.
  • Purchase records may be retained to verify delivery, prevent duplicate rewards, handle purchase issues, or meet legal obligations. Apple separately maintains purchase records.
  • Support and privacy correspondence is retained as needed to address the request, maintain relevant records, resolve disputes, and meet legal obligations.

Retention periods vary with the information, purpose, service settings, and applicable requirements. Removing the app does not automatically erase information already processed by service providers.

7. Your choices and deletion requests

You can manage CoreBo’s notification preferences in the app and notification permissions in iOS Settings. These reminders are scheduled locally. Apple also provides controls for iCloud storage, backups, Game Center sharing, and purchases.

CoreBo’s Restart Game control resets saved gameplay. When iCloud synchronization is active, saved-game changes can propagate through iCloud. This does not erase Game Center achievements, Apple purchase history, previously sent analytics or advertising data, or support correspondence.

iOS tracking permissions control access to certain advertising tracking capabilities. Declining tracking does not disable all analytics or advertising data processing. The current app does not provide a separate in-app Firebase Analytics opt-out.

To request access, correction, or deletion of information we control, email sean.rada@gmail.com. Describe your request without sending unnecessary sensitive information. We may need reasonable information to verify your identity or locate relevant records. We may not be able to identify a particular installation from your email address alone. Requests involving records controlled independently by Apple or Google may also need to be made through those providers.

8. Age requirements and younger children

CoreBo is intended for people ages 13 and older. It is not directed at children under 13. If you are under 13, please do not use CoreBo or send us personal information.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that CoreBo has collected personal information from a child under 13, contact sean.rada@gmail.com. We will investigate and take appropriate steps to address the information in accordance with applicable law, including deletion where required.

This intended age does not replace any higher age, parental-permission, or other protections required by local law. CoreBo does not currently verify players’ ages.

9. Your privacy rights

Depending on where you live and which laws apply, you may have rights to access or obtain a copy of your information, correct it, request deletion, restrict or object to processing, withdraw consent where processing relies on consent, or opt out of certain advertising-related uses or disclosures. Some laws also provide rights to appeal a decision on a privacy request and to complain to a data-protection authority.

Contact sean.rada@gmail.com to exercise a right, raise a concern, or appeal a response. We will consider requests under applicable law, including relevant verification requirements and exceptions. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal.

Where a lawful basis is required, it depends on the processing and applicable law: providing requested services, legitimate interests such as maintaining and improving the service where permitted, compliance with legal obligations, or consent where required. This notice itself is not a request for consent and does not replace any consent required by law.

10. Security and international processing

We use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the information and services involved. No transmission or storage system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Our service providers may store and process information outside your country, including in the United States. Privacy laws may differ between countries. Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, those requirements apply to the relevant processing. See the providers’ privacy information for details about their locations and transfer arrangements.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as CoreBo, its providers, or legal requirements change. The last-updated date identifies the current version. We will provide additional notice of material changes where required by applicable law.
