Data Retention We retain information for as long as necessary to provide the Application, maintain user progress, operate purchases and rewards, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, and improve the service. Game progress and account-related data may be retained while the user continues to use the Application and for a reasonable period afterward. Support messages may be retained as needed to respond to the request and maintain support records. Analytics, diagnostics, and crash data may be retained according to the settings and retention periods of the relevant service providers. Purchase records may be retained as required for entitlement, accounting, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, and legal compliance. Aggregated or anonymized data may be retained indefinitely because it does not reasonably identify a user. User Choices and Rights Depending on the user's location and applicable law, users may have the right to request access to, correction of, deletion of, or restriction of processing of their personal data. Users may also have the right to object to certain processing or withdraw consent where processing is based on consent. To exercise these rights, contact us at contact.ogzstudios@gmail.com. Users can also limit certain data collection through device settings, Google settings, ad personalization controls, notification permissions, and by uninstalling the Application. Uninstalling the Application stops future local collection from that device, but it does not automatically delete information that has already been transmitted to us or to third-party services. Account and Data Deletion The Application may include an account or data reset option. When used, this option may attempt to delete the player's Cloud Firestore player document, delete the anonymous Firebase Authentication user, and clear locally stored game data from the device. Users may also request deletion by contacting contact.ogzstudios@gmail.com. Some data may be retained if required for legal compliance, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, purchase records, security, or legitimate business purposes.
