This mobile application, Aviate: Aero Games (the "App"), is developed and operated by Johannes Hollunder (the "Developer"). The App is distributed on the Google Play Store under the developer name Aviate. The Developer is an independent individual based in South Korea.

This Privacy Policy applies to:
It does not apply to third-party websites or services that may be linked from the App.
We do not require you to create an account and we do not directly collect information such as your name, address, or phone number through the App.
However, the App uses third-party services that may automatically collect certain data for technical, advertising, and analytical purposes.
Depending on your device, settings, and consent choices, the following categories of data may be processed:
The App uses Apple Game Center and Google Play Games Services for leaderboard functionality. These services process your player identity (display name and player ID) to display and rank scores. This data is managed by Apple and Google respectively.
We do not attempt to combine this data with other sources to identify you personally.
To manage your virtual currency ('Coins') and award coins for viewing rewarded advertisements, the App uses local storage and technical identifiers. This data ensures that your coin balance is correctly updated and maintained across sessions. We do not link this information to your real-world identity.
The App offers optional in-app purchases ('tips') on iOS, processed entirely by Apple. We do not collect or store any payment information. Purchase history is managed by Apple according to their privacy policy.
Data collected through the App may be used for the following purposes:
We do not sell personal data.
The App displays advertisements provided by third-party advertising partners, such as Google AdMob.
For users located in the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA), or the United Kingdom:
Ad partners may use technologies such as cookies, SDKs, or device identifiers to deliver ads and measure their performance, in accordance with their own privacy policies and applicable law.
On iOS devices, the App will request your permission to track your activity across other companies' apps and websites before displaying personalized ads. If you decline, only non-personalized ads will be shown. You can change this setting at any time in your device's Settings under Privacy & Tracking.
For users located in the EU/EEA, we rely on the following legal bases under Article 6 GDPR:
You may withdraw your consent at any time through the App's privacy or consent settings. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
The App uses third-party services that may process data independently:
These providers process data in accordance with their own privacy policies.
Your data may be processed outside your country of residence, including in countries outside the European Union.
Where required, such transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights under applicable data protection laws:
To exercise these rights, you may contact us using the feedback form or email address listed below. We may need to verify your request before responding.
We do not maintain a private database of user information. We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, such as preventing fraud or maintaining app stability.
Most technical and advertising data (such as IP addresses or Advertising IDs) is managed and retained by our service providers, like Google AdMob, according to their own retention schedules.
If you contact us via the feedback form, we will retain your message and contact details only for the duration needed to resolve your inquiry.
US State Privacy Rights (including California): If you reside in a US state with specific privacy laws (like the CCPA/CPRA), you have the right to opt-out of the 'sale' or 'sharing' of your personal information. While we do not sell your data for money, sharing advertising identifiers with third parties may be considered a 'sale' or 'share' under these laws. You can exercise your right to opt-out at any time through the 'Ad Privacy Settings' menu within the App's settings.
The App is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. In accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and similar global regulations, we configure our advertising partners to serve only non-personalized, age-appropriate ads to users who are identified as being under the age of consent.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.
Any changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the App after changes means you accept the revised policy.
