HaraldColumn ("we", "us", or "our") is the developer and publisher identified as HaraldColumn on Google Play. This Privacy Policy applies to the mobile apps and games published under the HaraldColumn developer name that link to this policy from their Google Play listings or within the app (the "Apps"). The app name and package identifier are shown on the relevant Google Play listing. HaraldColumn is responsible for the personal information processed for the purposes described here. Contact us at haraldkerlsen008@gmail.com with the name of the App concerned.
The Apps covered by this policy provide access without user registration and do not offer in-app purchases or subscriptions. They use advertising, measurement, analytics, and crash-reporting services as described below.
Information is processed by us and by the service providers integrated into the Apps. The exact data available to an SDK depends on its configuration, the operating system, region, and your privacy choices.
| Category | Examples and purposes |
|---|---|
| Device, app, and network information | Device model, operating system and version, app version and package identifier, language, timestamps, network connection information, and IP address. These support operation, compatibility, analytics, ad delivery, and fraud prevention. Advertising services may infer approximate location, such as country or city, from an IP address. |
| Identifiers | Android advertising ID when available and permitted, app-instance and installation identifiers, SDK-generated identifiers, and other identifiers supported by the integrated services. These support ad delivery and measurement, installation attribution, analytics, and diagnostics. |
| App and advertising interactions | First opens, sessions, feature interactions, gameplay or content interaction events where relevant, ad requests, impressions, clicks, rewarded-ad completion, ad revenue values, and campaign attribution information. We use these to understand engagement, measure advertising, and improve the Apps and user acquisition. |
| Crash and diagnostic information | Crash reports, stack traces, error logs, device state and performance information, and app or installation identifiers. These help identify and fix errors and improve reliability. |
| Support communications | If you email us, we receive your email address, message, and any information or attachments you choose to send. These are used to answer and resolve your request. |
| Local app data | Preferences and, where relevant, game progress or other local app state may be stored on your device to provide the App's functionality. Clearing local app storage can remove this information. |
The Apps do not request runtime access to contacts, photos or media, camera, microphone, or precise device location. SDKs can still process the device, network, identifier, usage, and diagnostic data described above without such permission prompts. Lack of a runtime permission prompt does not mean that no data is collected.
The Apps integrate the following services. A service receives data relevant to its role, as outlined here and in its privacy documentation.
| Provider and service | Role and relevant data | Privacy information |
|---|---|---|
| AppLovin MAX | Ad mediation, ad delivery, measurement, and fraud prevention. Processes device and network information, available identifiers, and app/ad interactions. MAX coordinates requests to enabled advertising partners, including Google AdMob. | AppLovin privacy policy |
| Google AdMob / Google Mobile Ads SDK | Ad delivery, personalization where permitted, measurement, and fraud prevention. Processes IP addresses, device and advertising identifiers, advertising interactions, and diagnostics. | Google privacy policy |
| AppsFlyer | Installation attribution, campaign measurement and optimization, and fraud prevention. Processes available identifiers, device/network information, installation and campaign information, and measured in-app/ad events. | AppsFlyer services privacy policy |
| Firebase / Google Analytics 4 | App usage and advertising analytics. Processes app-instance identifiers, app/device information, and measured events and parameters. Firebase Analytics and GA4 form the app analytics measurement system. | Google privacy policy and Firebase privacy information |
| Firebase Crashlytics | Crash detection and troubleshooting. Processes crash reports, stack traces, diagnostic information, and installation-related identifiers. | Firebase privacy information |
Measurement information may be shared with connected advertising platforms to report campaign conversions, prevent fraud, and optimize acquisition. Advertising partners may process data as independent controllers under their own policies. We may also disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to valid legal requests, protect rights and safety, or carry out a business transfer subject to applicable privacy protections.
Advertisements may be contextual or personalized, depending on the service, your region, age-related settings, and available consent and privacy choices. Personalized advertising can involve identifiers and activity information used to select or measure ads. Under some privacy laws, disclosures for cross-context behavioral advertising can be classified as a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information.
You can manage available advertising-ID and ad-privacy controls in your Android device settings. The exact controls and menu names vary by Android version and device. Ad providers also offer choices described in the policies linked above. Where the App presents a privacy or consent form, use its available controls to review or change your choices. Contact us for assistance locating the controls relevant to your App.
Where applicable law requires consent, it must be obtained before the relevant non-essential processing. Continued use of an App or acceptance of its Terms of Use does not replace legally required consent. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal. Disabling personalized advertising does not necessarily remove ads or stop processing necessary for permitted ad delivery, security, or measurement.
Where a legal basis is required, we rely on consent for processing that requires it, performance of the service you request where applicable, legal obligations, and legitimate interests such as maintaining app reliability, preventing fraud, and responding to support, subject to your rights and the applicable balancing requirements. You may object to processing based on legitimate interests where the law provides that right.
Our providers operate internationally, and information may be processed outside your country. Where applicable, transfers must use legally required safeguards, such as approved contractual protections or another valid transfer mechanism. Contact us for information about safeguards relevant to your request.
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy. Retention is determined by the data type, the need to resolve support requests, the applicable analytics and SDK retention settings, security and fraud-prevention needs, and legal obligations. Support correspondence is retained while handling the request and for any necessary follow-up or legally required recordkeeping. Information retained for a legal obligation or dispute is restricted to that purpose and removed when the requirement ends.
Provider-held data is also subject to the provider's applicable retention and deletion rules. For example, Firebase states that Crashlytics retains crash reports and associated identifiers for 90 days before starting removal from live and backup systems. Local data remains until removed by the App, you, or your device.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures appropriate to the information processed, including secure network transport for data sent to our service providers and access restrictions for administrative tools. No transmission or storage method can guarantee absolute security.
The Apps do not provide registered user accounts, so there is no app account to close. You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of personal information associated with your use of an App by emailing haraldkerlsen008@gmail.com. Include the app name, your request, and information reasonably needed to locate the relevant records. Do not send passwords, payment details, or identity documents unless specifically and legitimately required through an appropriate process.
We may request proportionate information to verify your request. Where we can identify relevant records and the law requires or permits deletion, we will delete them or instruct relevant processors to do so. We will explain if records cannot reasonably be identified or must be retained for a lawful reason. We respond within the time required by applicable law.
To remove information stored locally, use your device's app-storage controls to clear app data or uninstall the App. This can erase local progress and preferences. Removing local data does not automatically delete information already held by us or by SDK providers. Provider policies linked above explain their direct request channels.
Depending on your location, you may also have rights to restrict processing, portability, withdraw consent, object to processing, opt out of targeted advertising or applicable sale/sharing, appeal a privacy decision, and complain to a competent supervisory authority. Contact us to exercise applicable rights. We will not discriminate against you for exercising legally protected rights.
The intended audience and age rating of each App are identified in its Google Play listing. We do not knowingly collect children's personal information in violation of applicable law. Processing involving children must follow applicable age-related requirements and advertising restrictions. If you believe a child has provided personal information in a way that violates these requirements, contact us with the App's name so we can investigate and take appropriate action, including deletion where required.
We will update this page and its effective date when our practices change. Material changes will be communicated as required by applicable law, and additional consent will be sought when required.
