At GameDev Arena (“we”, “our”, “us”), we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information on our website and in our games.
1) Scope
This Policy applies to our public website, email communications, and games we publish. By using our services, you agree to these practices.
2) Information We Collect
- Personal information you provide — e.g., name and email address (contact forms, newsletters, or support).
- Usage data — device and log info (IP, device IDs, browser type, pages/screens viewed, session duration) via cookies (website) and SDKs (games).
- Payment information — if applicable, processed by trusted payment processors; we do not store full card details.
3) Advertising & Analytics
We show ads on our website and inside our games and use analytics to improve our products. Our primary partners may include (non-exhaustive):
- Google AdMob / AdSense (ads in games and on the website)
- Google Analytics (website analytics)
These partners may collect or receive information such as device identifiers, approximate location, and usage data to serve ads, measure performance, and detect fraud. Where required, we request your consent before using cookies/SDKs or serving personalized ads.
Non-Personalized & Child-Appropriate Ads
- For users identified as children, we request non-personalized, age-appropriate ads and limit data processing.
- We configure our ad partners to disable personalized advertising and interest-based audiences for child users.
- Parents/guardians can contact us to request deletion of a child’s personal information (see Section 10).
4) Children’s Privacy
Our content is suitable for children; however, we do not knowingly collect personal information from children without appropriate consent where required by law. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child provided personal information to us, please contact us and we will promptly take appropriate action.
Compliance: We aim to comply with child privacy regulations such as the U.S. COPPA and EU/UK child data protection rules by using age screens where appropriate, limiting data collection, and serving non-personalized ads to child users.
5) Cookies & SDKs
On the website, we use cookies and similar technologies for functionality, analytics, and advertising. In games, our SDKs (e.g., AdMob) may use device identifiers to show ads, cap frequency, and fight fraud. You can manage cookies through your browser settings and limit ad tracking in your device settings.
6) How We Use Information
- Provide, maintain, and improve our website and games
- Serve and measure ads (with your consent where required)
- Respond to support requests and communicate updates
- Detect, prevent, and address technical issues and abuse
7) Legal Bases (GDPR/EEA/UK)
Where applicable, we rely on consent (for cookies/personalized ads), legitimate interests (to improve services and prevent fraud), and performance of a contract (to provide requested services).
8) Your Choices
- Consent Management: Use our cookie/consent banner on the website to choose preferences.
- Device Controls: On iOS/Android, you can reset/limit the advertising identifier and switch off interest-based ads.
- Google Ads Settings: Manage ad personalization at adssettings.google.com.

9) Data Retention & Security
We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy and as required by law. We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect information; however, no method is completely secure.
10) Your Rights
Depending on your region, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal information, and to withdraw consent. To exercise these rights (including requests concerning a child’s data), contact us using the details below.
11) International Transfers
Your information may be processed outside your country. When we transfer data internationally, we use appropriate safeguards as required by law.
