1. Introduction
Starverse Studio ("we", "us", "our") built Hit the Boss (the "Game") as a boss‑rush action game available now on Google Play. This Privacy Policy explains what information the Game collects, how it is used, and the choices you have. By downloading or playing Hit the Boss, you agree to the collection and use of information as described here.
2. Information We Collect
Hit the Boss is designed to run with minimal data collection. Depending on the features you use, the following information may be collected:
- Device information — device model, operating system version, unique device or advertising identifiers, and language settings, used to keep the Game running smoothly across devices.
- Gameplay data — progress, scores, levels completed and in‑game settings, stored locally on your device and, if cloud save is offered, synced to your Google Play Games account.
- Usage and diagnostic data — crash reports, performance metrics and general analytics events, used to fix bugs and improve the Game.
- Purchase information — if the Game offers in‑app purchases, purchase confirmations are processed by Google Play; we do not receive or store your payment card details.
- Advertising identifiers — if the Game shows ads, an advertising ID may be shared with our ad partners to serve and measure ads.
We do not knowingly collect your name, home address, or other directly identifying contact information through the Game itself.
3. Third-Party Services
Hit the Boss may use the following categories of third‑party services, each governed by its own privacy policy:
- Google AdMob — for displaying in‑game advertisements.
- Google Play Games Services — for achievements, leaderboards and cloud save.
- Analytics providers — for understanding aggregate gameplay trends and improving the Game.
- Google Play Billing — for processing in‑app purchases, where applicable.
4. How We Use Information
- To operate, maintain and improve the Game;
- To personalize and measure advertising, where ads are shown;
- To diagnose technical issues and fix bugs;
- To understand how players engage with features so we can build better updates;
- To process purchases and prevent fraud.
5. Children's Privacy
Hit the Boss is not directed at children under 13 (or the relevant age of digital consent in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it. Where the Game is intended for a general or family audience, advertising is configured to comply with applicable child‑directed advertising rules, such as Google Play's Families Policy.
6. Data Storage and Security
Gameplay progress is primarily stored locally on your device. Where cloud sync or analytics data is transmitted, we rely on reputable third‑party infrastructure providers and take reasonable technical measures to protect information from unauthorized access, alteration or loss. No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Your Choices
- You can reset or limit your advertising identifier in your device's system settings.
- You can disable personalized ads through your Google account ad settings.
- You can uninstall the Game at any time to stop all data collection by it, though locally stored progress will be lost unless synced to cloud save.
- You can contact us to ask what information we hold about you or to request deletion, where applicable.
8. Data Retention
We retain gameplay and analytics data only as long as necessary to provide and improve the Game, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes. Locally stored data remains on your device until you clear app data or uninstall the Game.
9. International Users
Hit the Boss is developed by Starverse Studio, based in India, and may be played by users worldwide. By using the Game, you understand your information may be processed in India or other countries where our service providers operate, which may have different data protection laws than your own country.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the Game after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
