Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains (a) how Big Salad Games collects personal information from users, (b) how that information is used, and (c) what choices and rights you have regarding your data.

This Privacy Policy applies to all games, websites, and related services provided by Big Salad Games (referred to collectively as the “Services”). Please note that some apps on Google Play may currently appear under the developer name “hicksybreh”. This developer account is owned and operated by Big Salad Games, which is the actual provider of the Services and the entity responsible for handling your data. 

Your use of any of our Services signifies your acceptance of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Services.

Big Salad Games may update or revise this Privacy Policy at any time, for example, to reflect legal, technical, or business changes. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically. Continued use of our Services after changes have been made will indicate that you accept and agree to those changes.

If you have any questions about this policy or how your personal information is handled, you may contact us directly using the information provided at the end of this document.

When Your Data is Collected

Big Salad Games collects your personal data when you interact with our Services. This includes, but is not limited to, situations where:

• You make a one-time purchase through a supported platform (e.g., Google Play, Apple App Store, PayPal).
  
  

• You contact our support team or provide feedback via email.

• You request a copy of your receipt or access your purchase history.
  
  

• You voluntarily provide us with data for customer service or bug reporting purposes.
  
  

We only collect the minimum amount of information necessary to provide our Services effectively, to fulfill legal and security obligations, and to improve your user experience.

What Data is Collected

Depending on your use of the Services, the following types of information may be collected:

1. Data You Provide Directly

This may include:

• Your email address, if you contact us directly for support or request purchase records.
  
  

• Information related to payment confirmations, solely for record-keeping and troubleshooting (note: actual payment processing is handled by third-party platforms).
  
  

• Any additional information you voluntarily provide (e.g., feedback, bug reports).
  
  

2. Data Collected Automatically

We may collect anonymized or aggregate data automatically, such as:

• Device information (e.g., device model, operating system version).
  
  

• Gameplay metrics (e.g., progress, high scores, in-game interactions).
  
  

• IP address and general geographic region (used for analytics and regional performance).
  
  

• Crash reports and performance diagnostics to help us fix bugs and improve functionality.
  
  

3. Third-Party Data

If you use Services that integrate with third parties (such as Google Play Games for achievements and leaderboards), those platforms may share limited data with us, depending on your permissions. This may include:

• Player ID and associated account handles.
  
  

• Achievement progress and leaderboard rankings.
  
  

• Usage analytics aggregated by third-party analytics tools.
  
  

We do not collect or access sensitive personal data such as your full name, payment card details, physical address, or government-issued IDs.

Why Data is Collected

We collect and use data solely for purposes that are legitimate, proportionate, and necessary for delivering and improving our Services. These purposes include:

• Providing gameplay functionality, including saving game progress and managing achievements.
  
  

• Processing and validating one-time purchases, including verifying digital entitlements and generating receipts.
  
  

• Responding to customer support inquiries, including investigating bugs or restoring access to content.
  
  

• Improving service quality, game performance, and user experience based on aggregate data.
  
  

• Fulfilling legal, financial, and security obligations, such as fraud prevention and tax compliance.
  
  

We do not use your data for targeted advertising, marketing, or user profiling.

Who Can See Your Data / Who It Is Shared With

Data collected by Big Salad Games may be accessed by:

• Our internal development and support team, for the purpose of maintaining, improving, or troubleshooting our Services.
  
  

• Third-party service providers, but only to the extent necessary for them to perform services on our behalf (e.g., payment processors, crash reporting tools, analytics providers). These providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it solely for the intended purpose.
  
  

• Government or law enforcement agencies, but only when legally required (e.g., court orders, investigations into fraud or illegal activities).
  
  

We may also share de-identified or aggregated data (such as gameplay statistics or usage trends) with partners or to the public. This data cannot be used to identify individual users.

We do not sell or rent personal information to advertisers or third-party marketers.

Cross-Border Transfers

Our Services are accessible globally. If you reside outside of the country where our servers or providers are based, your data may be transferred to and processed in jurisdictions with different data protection laws than your own. In such cases, we take appropriate measures to ensure your data remains secure and is processed in accordance with applicable laws, such as the GDPR or CCPA.

• Access: You can request a copy of the data we hold about you.
  
  

• Correction: You may request corrections to inaccurate or outdated data.
  
  

• Deletion: You can ask us to delete your personal data (subject to any legal obligations to retain it).

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at support@bigsaladgames.com. We will respond to your request within 30 days.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our Services may use cookies or similar technologies provided by third-party platforms (e.g., Google Play Services) to enhance gameplay experience, measure analytics, or manage login sessions.

You can disable cookies through your browser or device settings, although doing so may impact the functionality of certain Services.

We implement technical and organizational safeguards to protect your data from loss, misuse, unauthorized access, or disclosure. These may include:

• Secure storage solutions.
  
  

• Access controls and encryption where appropriate.
  
  

• Regular software updates and vulnerability patching.
  
  

We retain your data only as long as necessary to provide the Services, fulfill legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. After this period, your data will be securely deleted or anonymized.

Our Services are not intended for children under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child without verified parental consent, we will delete that information as quickly as possible.
