Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what information is collected when you play games published by HAPPYDAZE ("we", "us"), including Backrooms: Lost Levels (the "Games"), and when you visit this website. It also explains how that information is used and what choices you have.

1. Information we collect

Information stored on your device

• Game progress, in-game currency, inventory, unlocked items and settings (such as language and graphics options).
• The nickname you choose for multiplayer and your preferred multiplayer region.

This information stays on your device. We do not operate our own servers that store it, and it is deleted when you clear the app's data or uninstall the Game.

Information processed for online multiplayer

When you play online, the following is transmitted through our networking provider so that players can be connected to each other:

• Your chosen nickname, which is visible to other players in your room.
• Gameplay data such as your character's position and actions.
• Text chat messages you send in a room. These are delivered to the other players in that room and are not stored by us.
• Your IP address and approximate region, which are needed to route the connection.

Please do not share personal information in your nickname or in chat.

Information collected by advertising partners

The Games show ads. Our advertising partner may collect your device's advertising ID, IP address, approximate location derived from the IP address, device and app information (model, operating system, language, app version), and data about ad interactions. This is used to deliver and measure ads, limit how often you see an ad, and prevent fraud, and depending on your consent choices to personalize ads.

Purchase information

In-app purchases are processed by Google Play. We never receive or store your card or payment details. We receive only what is needed to deliver your purchase, such as the product purchased and a purchase token.

Technical configuration

The Games contact a remote configuration service to check for required updates and settings. This involves an app installation identifier, your IP address, and basic device and app information.

This website

This website does not use cookies, analytics or tracking scripts. Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs (such as IP address and browser type) for security and reliability.

2. How we use information

• To run the Games and their online multiplayer features.
• To save your progress and settings on your device.
• To deliver purchases and restore them when needed.
• To show ads, which fund the Games.
• To keep the Games working, check for required updates, and prevent cheating and abuse.
• To respond when you contact us.

We do not sell your personal information.

3. Third-party services

The Games rely on the following services. Each processes data under its own privacy policy.

4. Advertising and your choices

• Consent: where required by law (for example in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland), the Game asks for your consent before personalized ads are shown. You can change your choice later from the privacy options in the Game's settings where available.
• Device settings: on Android you can reset or delete your advertising ID under Settings > Privacy > Ads.
• Google ad settings: you can manage ad personalization at myadcenter.google.com.

Opting out of personalized ads does not remove ads; you will see ads that are less relevant to you.

5. Children

Our Games are horror games and are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or under the age of digital consent in your country). If you believe a child has provided personal information through one of our Games, contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

6. Data retention and deletion

• Data stored on your device remains until you clear the app's data or uninstall the Game.
• Multiplayer room data and chat messages exist only for the duration of the session.
• Data held by third-party services is retained according to their own policies.

Because the Games have no accounts, we generally cannot identify you in data held by our partners. If you would like help with a deletion or access request, email us and we will assist as far as we are able.

7. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, UK GDPR, the Turkish KVKK or the CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or restrict the processing of your personal data, to object to processing, to withdraw consent, and to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority. To exercise these rights, contact us at the address below.

Where the GDPR applies, we rely on your consent (personalized advertising), performance of a contract (providing the Game and purchases) and our legitimate interests (running multiplayer, security, fraud prevention and non-personalized ads).

8. International transfers

Our service providers operate globally, so your information may be processed in countries other than your own. These providers apply their own safeguards for such transfers as described in their policies.

9. Security

We limit the data we handle and rely on established providers that use industry-standard protections. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as our Games change. The "Last updated" date at the top shows the latest revision. Significant changes will be reflected on this page before they take effect.
