Slots Adventure ("we", "our", or "the App") is developed and operated by Kwesteo (pty) Ltd. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our mobile application.
1. Information We Collect
1.1 Account Information
We use Firebase Authentication to create anonymous user accounts. No personal information such as your name, email, or phone number is required to play. If you choose to link a Google account, we store your Google display name and email for account recovery purposes only.
1.2 Game Data
We collect and store your gameplay data including coin balance, bet history, game session statistics, progression level, and ad reward history. This data is stored locally on your device using a local database and synced to our cloud servers (Google Firestore) for backup and cross-device access.
1.3 Device Information
We may collect basic device information such as device model, operating system version, and screen resolution to optimize your gameplay experience.
1.4 Advertising Data
We use Google AdMob to display advertisements. Google AdMob may collect device identifiers, IP address, and ad interaction data in accordance with Google's privacy policy. We implement ad frequency limits (maximum 10 rewarded ads per day with a 60-second cooldown) to protect your experience.
2. EU/EEA Privacy Rights & Ad Consent
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, additional protections apply to you under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the ePrivacy Directive.
2.1 Legal Basis for Processing
We process your personal data based on your explicit consent (GDPR Article 6(1)(a)). Before serving personalized advertisements, we request your consent through a consent management dialog that complies with the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework (TCF) v2.2.
2.2 Consent for Advertising
When you first launch the App in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you will be presented with a consent form asking for permission to:
- Store and/or access information on your device (cookies and local storage)
- Use your personal data for personalized advertising (device identifiers, IP address, ad interaction history)
- Share data with advertising technology partners, including Google AdMob
If you decline or partially decline consent, we will serve only non-personalized or limited advertisements. You will still be able to use the App fully regardless of your consent choice.
2.3 Withdrawing Consent
You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time through the in-app privacy settings. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
2.4 Your Rights Under GDPR
As an EEA/UK resident, you have the right to:
- Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- Rectification — request correction of inaccurate personal data
- Erasure — request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten")
- Data Portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format
- Restriction — request that we limit processing of your data
- Objection — object to processing of your personal data for certain purposes
- Lodge a Complaint — file a complaint with your local data protection authority
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at dev@kwesteo.com. We will respond within 30 days.
2.5 International Data Transfers
Your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside the EEA, including the United States (where Google's servers are located). These transfers are protected by appropriate safeguards, including Google's Standard Contractual Clauses and compliance with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
2.6 Under-Age Users
For users identified as being under the age of digital consent in their jurisdiction, we apply the Tag for Under Age of Consent (TFUA) to all ad requests. This ensures that only age-appropriate, non-personalized advertisements are served and that no personal data is collected for advertising purposes.
3. How We Use Your Information
- To provide and maintain the game experience
- To save your progress and synchronize across sessions
- To display relevant advertisements
- To detect and prevent ad abuse or fraudulent activity
- To improve game performance and fix bugs
4. Data Storage and Security
4.1 Local Storage
Game settings (audio preferences, haptic feedback) and game state are stored locally on your device using encrypted DataStore. Larger datasets (user profiles, session history) are stored in a local Room database.
4.2 Cloud Storage
Your game data is backed up to Google Cloud Firestore. Data is transmitted over encrypted connections (TLS/SSL). A background sync process runs daily to ensure your data is up to date.
4.3 Data Retention
Your data is retained as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us.
5. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services:
- Google Firebase (Authentication, Firestore, Cloud Messaging)
- Google AdMob (Advertising)
- Google Play Services
Each of these services has its own privacy policy governing the collection and use of data.
6. Children's Privacy
Slots Adventure is a simulated slot machine game intended for entertainment purposes only. No real money is wagered or won. The game is designed for users aged 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us with information, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
