In this policy, "we", "us" and "our" refer to Helloreader Limited, the operator of this game. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, share and delete your information when you use the Google Play version of this game, and the rights you may exercise. This policy applies to this game and does not replace the privacy policies of Google or other third-party services.
1. Information We Process and Why
1.1 Google Sign-In and Game Accounts
This game requires you to sign in with a Google account and currently does not offer a guest mode. When you sign in through Google, the Google sign-in component provides the game with an ID Token and available account information, such as your email address and display name. The ID Token may contain your unique Google account identifier (sub), email address, name and other information needed for authentication.
The game sends the ID Token to our server over HTTPS to verify your identity. The server uses the verified sub as a stable account identifier to create or look up your game account and associate it with your Player ID and saved progress. Our current game-account logic does not separately extract your email address or name to identify your saved-progress account, nor use them for marketing communications. However, because this information may be included in the Token, it may still be transmitted and processed during authentication.
We do not obtain your Google account password. Google manages Google sign-in permissions and account information.
This sign-in information is used for account management, authentication, account security and providing game services, and is necessary for the current sign-in method. You may cancel sign-in, but you will not be able to access game services that require an account.
1.2 Saved Progress and Game Activity
We store progress associated with your game account on our own servers. This may include your level, quest and tutorial completion status, in-game currency, characters, boats, items, daily check-ins, reward-claim status and related timestamps. We use this information to load saved progress, synchronize progress, grant game rewards and restore game state.
The client also caches game data in the app's local storage to support saving and synchronization. These saves are stored on our servers and are not Google Play Games cloud saves.
1.3 Network and Operational Information
When you access our servers, they receive your IP address and may record operational logs, such as API access times, request results and Player IDs, for network communication, troubleshooting and service security. This game does not actively request permission to access precise GPS location.
1.4 Google AdMob Advertising Information
This game integrates the Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob) to display rewarded ads. You can choose whether to watch rewarded ads. Rewards are granted according to the in-game instructions and valid ad callbacks.
During ad SDK initialization, ad requests or ad display, the Google SDK may automatically collect and transmit the following information to Google and its advertising partners:
(a) Google Advertising ID (Android Advertising ID), App Set ID and, where applicable, other device- or account-related identifiers;
(b) IP address, which may be used to infer approximate location;
(c) app and ad interaction information, such as launches, clicks, video views and ad impressions;
(d) diagnostic and performance information, such as app or SDK launch information, freezes and runtime performance.
This information is used for ad delivery, ad measurement, analytics and fraud prevention. Advertising ID availability and advertising data processing depend on device settings, SDK configuration, region and applicable consent requirements. Choosing not to watch rewarded ads does not necessarily prevent the SDK from processing information at other stages.
You can reset or delete your Advertising ID through the advertising settings provided by Android and use privacy controls provided by the operating system and Google. Deleting your Advertising ID does not delete your game account or server saves, and may not stop all advertising-related data processing.
In regions where applicable law requires advertising consent, we carry out the relevant advertising data processing after obtaining the required consent and provide legally required privacy choices. You can manage or withdraw the relevant consent through the "Privacy options" entry in the in-game Settings menu, which reopens the Google consent form.
1.5 Customer Support Information
When you contact us through customer support, we process the contact information, Player ID, issue description and necessary attachments you submit to handle inquiries, complaints, saved-progress issues and data-rights requests. Please do not submit your Google password or a complete sign-in Token.
2. Features Not Available in the Current Version
The current Google Play version does not offer in-game top-ups or paid purchases. This game does not require an identity document, passport or phone number for real-name verification, and does not use WeChat or QQ accounts for sign-in.
We do not actively access your contacts, text messages, photos, camera or microphone for the game's current features. Local game saves use the app's storage space. Third-party SDK data processing is described in Section 1.4, the third-party descriptions below and the configuration of the actual released version.
If new features involve new information processing, we will update these explanations and obtain the relevant consent where required.
3. Information Sharing and Third-Party Services
We do not sell your personal information. The following third parties may process relevant information to provide game services:
1. Google sign-in services and AndroidX Credential Manager: used for Google account selection and authentication, involving account identifiers, authentication credentials and related information processed by Google services.
2. Google AdMob / Google Mobile Ads SDK: used for ad delivery, measurement, analytics and fraud prevention. The information types are described in the advertising section above.
3. Providers of cloud servers, databases, and the network and security services actually used: as infrastructure providers, they process account information, saved progress or access logs to the extent necessary to provide services.
4. Legal requirements or protection of lawful rights and interests: where necessary and supported by an applicable legal basis, we provide required information to competent authorities or relevant parties.
In the event of a business transfer, merger or acquisition, we will notify you as required by applicable law and require the recipient to continue fulfilling applicable information-protection obligations.

4. Storage Location, Retention and Security
Our account and saved-progress data are primarily stored in Singapore. Google and other service providers may process information in other countries or regions. Providing services may involve cross-border information processing, and we will implement the relevant safeguards in accordance with applicable law.
We retain accounts and saved progress while the account exists and the information is needed to provide game services. We do not automatically delete them merely because you temporarily stop signing in. After receiving a valid deletion request and completing the necessary identity verification, we normally delete the account and associated saved progress from our live systems within 30 days. If applicable law requires a shorter period, that period applies. We also delete or anonymize information when the service ends or the information is no longer needed.
Ordinary API and operational logs are retained on a rolling basis for no more than 30 days. Backups are retained on a rolling basis for no more than 90 days. Deleted-account data may remain temporarily in restricted backups and will be removed within 90 days after deletion from live systems. Such backup data is not used for routine operations. If backups are used for disaster recovery, we will reapply deletion requests that have already been accepted.
These periods apply to accounts, saved progress, logs and backups under our control. Data independently processed by Google or other third parties is governed by their privacy policies and relevant rights-request procedures.
If limited information must be retained after deletion for legal compliance, dispute resolution or fraud prevention, we will explain what is retained, the reasons and the retention period, and restrict its use. We will not retain all saved progress indefinitely merely because an account has been deleted.
The client communicates with our production game APIs over HTTPS. We use necessary safeguards, such as access controls, to protect data. Save compression or Base64 encoding is not data encryption. Absolute security cannot be guaranteed in internet or device environments. If a security incident occurs, we will take action and provide necessary notifications in accordance with applicable law.
5. Access, Correction, Account Deletion and Other Rights
You can use the contact details below to request access to, correction of or deletion of personal information we hold about you. To the extent provided by applicable law, you may also request a copy of your data, restriction of processing, object to processing or withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
To delete your game account and associated saved progress, submit a request through the in-game "Delete Account" entry or the webpage below. Customer support will verify the request and process it within 30 days, or sooner if required by law. See Section 4 for backup cleanup and limited information retained as required by law.

Contact email: [email protected]
After deletion, game progress and virtual items cannot be restored, but your Google account is not affected. Signing in again may create a new game account. Uninstalling the game or using "Reset Progress" is not a substitute for account deletion.
You may also exercise advertising-related rights and privacy controls through the methods provided by Google.
6. Minors
This game is intended for players aged 16 and above. Users who do not meet the age requirements under local law must obtain a parent or guardian's consent as required by that law, or stop using the relevant services.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe we have improperly processed a child's information, please contact us. We will investigate and take necessary measures, including deleting information, in accordance with applicable law.
7. Policy Updates and Contact Information
We may update this policy when services or rules change and revise the last-updated date. We will notify you of significant changes through in-game notices or other appropriate means. Where renewed consent is legally required, we will process the relevant information after obtaining that consent.
