Privacy policy

This policy covers the Crateworks Android game (com.crateworks.game), provided by Union Aerospace. For privacy questions or requests, contact devmanlalala@gmail.com.

1. Information stored on your device

The game stores campaign progress, moves, scores, settings, custom puzzles, random puzzle state, hint allowances and ad-frequency counters in its private app storage. These records support gameplay and are not uploaded to a developer-operated server. We do not operate an analytics service or player database.

At first launch, the game asks for an age group without a preselected answer. Only whether you selected the adult group is retained locally; the game does not ask for a birth date or send this answer to us. Choosing a younger group or “Prefer not to say” disables ads and the ad-removal purchase. The game remains playable.

2. Advertising for adults

For players who select 18 or older, Crateworks uses Google AdMob for occasional between-level ads and optional rewarded hint ads. Ad requests start only when the app's purchase and consent checks allow them. Ad content is requested with Google's general-audience content limit.

When the advertising service operates, Google may collect and share the device's IP address (including an approximate location inferred from it), app/ad interactions, performance diagnostics, advertising ID, app set ID and applicable device/account identifiers. Google uses this information to deliver and measure ads, analyze service performance and prevent fraud. Its Mobile Ads SDK encrypts transmitted data using TLS. Actual processing depends on consent, device settings and Google's services.

Where required, Google's User Messaging Platform presents privacy choices before ads are requested. You can reopen available choices through Home → Privacy → Ad privacy choices. Android settings also provide controls for the advertising ID. Declining a consent choice does not block puzzle play; available ad behavior depends on Google's consent result.

Read Google's Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from apps that use its services.

3. Children and younger players

Crateworks can be played by children. For a selected age group under 18, or an unspecified age, the app does not initialize or request ads through Google Mobile Ads, does not request an advertising consent form, and does not offer an ad-removal purchase. Hints remain available without ads. We do not knowingly request children's names, contact information, precise location or date of birth.

If a parent or guardian believes a child has sent personal information to our support address, contact us so we can review and delete it unless retention is legally required.

4. Optional Google Play purchase

Adult players may buy a permanent “Remove all ads” entitlement through Google Play. Google processes the payment. The app receives purchase information, such as the product, purchase token, signature and purchase status, to verify and acknowledge the transaction and restore ownership. Only the entitlement status is cached by the app for offline use. We do not receive your card number through the game.

Google may make transaction records available to the developer in Play Console for order management, support, refunds and accounting. Google retains its own payment and transaction records under its policies and applicable requirements. Clearing app data does not cancel or erase a Google Play purchase.

5. Support and other disclosures

If you email us, we receive your email address and the information you choose to include. We use it to respond and resolve your request. Please avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information. Support correspondence may be processed by our email provider. Information may also be disclosed where required by law or necessary to address fraud or protect legal rights.

The game does not request access to your contacts, photos, microphone, camera or precise location. It does not provide chat, public profiles or online sharing of custom levels.

6. Retention and deletion

Local gameplay data remains until you delete it or remove the app. To remove all local records, use Android Settings → Apps → Crateworks → Storage → Clear storage, or uninstall the app. Menu wording varies by device. The in-game campaign reset removes campaign progress but preserves settings, studio puzzles and monetization records.

We retain support correspondence only as needed to resolve requests, follow up and meet legal obligations. We do not have remote access to your locally stored puzzles. Google's retention and deletion rules apply separately to its advertising, consent and purchase records; deleting the game does not automatically delete information already held by Google.

7. Your choices and rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing, request portability, or withdraw consent. Contact devmanlalala@gmail.com for requests concerning information we hold. For Google account information, use Google's Data & privacy controls. You may also complain to your local data-protection authority.

Where applicable, we rely on consent for consent-dependent advertising, providing the requested service for gameplay and purchase functionality, and legitimate interests for support and fraud prevention. Legal duties can require retention of transaction records. Service providers may process information outside your country under their published data-protection arrangements.

8. Changes and contact

We will update this page if the game's data practices change and revise the effective date. Material changes will be communicated where required. This page contains no advertising, third-party scripts or analytics; loading it still involves ordinary network requests to the website host.
