Privacy Policy
Effective Date: September 2026
Summary: We respect your privacy. We only use anonymous telemetry for game balance, crash diagnostics, and non-intrusive ads (rewarded revives, bonus shards, and periodic interstitials).
1. Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how Nexus: Echoes of Power ("the App", "we", "our") handles information when you use our iOS application. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.
2. Information We Collect
We do not collect any personal identity information (such as real names, email addresses, or precise locations). We collect:
- Anonymous Gameplay Telemetry: Wave completions, tower deployments, defeat states, and session lengths to balance the game.
- Diagnostic Data: Non-personally identifiable crash logs and performance indicators via Firebase Analytics.
- Advertising Identifiers: Only if explicitly permitted by you via Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt.
3. Data Stored on Your Device
The App stores game progress (save data, tower upgrades, high scores) locally on your device using Apple's standard UserDefaults storage mechanism. This data:
- Never leaves your device without your consent.
- Is automatically removed when you delete the App.
4. Advertising (Google AdMob)
The App displays rewarded video advertisements (e.g., Emergency Revive, 2X Core Shards, Tactical Airdrop) and periodic interstitial advertisements powered by Google AdMob.
If permitted via Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt, personalized ads may be delivered using your device advertising identifier (IDFA). In applicable regions (such as the European Economic Area and UK), user consent is collected and managed through the Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) SDK. You can opt out or disable tracking at any time via your iOS device Settings.

5. Analytics (Google Firebase Analytics)
We use Google Firebase Analytics to collect anonymous gameplay metrics to improve stability and tune defense balance. This data is aggregated and never linked to your personal identity.
6. Third-Party Services & Apple Game Center
Apple Game Center: The App integrates with Apple Game Center for global leaderboards and achievements. Game Center is operated entirely by Apple Inc. and is subject to Apple's Privacy Policy.
The third-party services integrated into the app include:
- Google AdMob – In-app advertising (Privacy Policy | Partner Data Usage)
- Google Firebase Analytics – Anonymous usage metrics (Privacy Policy)
- Apple Game Center – Leaderboards and achievements (Privacy Policy)
7. Children's Privacy
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13 (or equivalent minimum age in relevant jurisdictions). The App is compliant with COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) and similar international regulations.
8. Data Sharing & Security
We do not sell, rent, or trade your data with data brokers. Anonymous data collected through Google services is transmitted securely via industry-standard encryption (TLS/HTTPS).
