Super Shadow Hunt - Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy — Super Shadow Hunt

Developer: Svartberg Games (solo developer) Effective date: August 19, 2026 Contact: svartberggames@gmail.com

This Privacy Policy explains what information Super Shadow Hunt (“the App”, “we”, “us”) collects, how it is used, and what choices you have. It applies to the App as distributed on Google Play and any associated backend services.

We are a solo-developer studio, not a registered company. “Svartberg Games” is a trading name used for this project.


1. Data We Collect

We collect the minimum data needed to run the game. There are two tiers, depending on how you choose to play:

1.1 Default / Guest Play (always collected)

Data Purpose
Username Displayed to other players during matches (Hunter/Hider sessions); required for basic gameplay identification.
Device ID Used to create and recognize your guest account so your progress, inventory, and Credits persist on the same device between sessions.

This data is collected automatically when you first launch the App — no signup form is required to play.

1.2 Optional Account Protection

If you choose to link an account (so your progress carries over to a new device), we additionally collect:

Data Purpose
Email address Used to identify and recover your linked account.
Password Stored in hashed/salted form (never stored or transmitted in plain text) to authenticate you.

This step is entirely optional and is only triggered by your explicit choice in the App’s account settings.

1.3 Advertising Data (AdMob)

Super Shadow Hunt uses Google AdMob to serve two types of ads:

Ad type When it appears User choice
Interstitial ads Automatically, every 3 matches Mandatory — not user-triggered, cannot be individually declined (aside from any future ad-removal option)
Rewarded video ads Offered at the end of a match, in exchange for bonus Credits Optional — only shown if you choose to watch one

For both ad types, Google and its advertising partners may collect:

We do not control what Google/AdMob collects on our behalf — this is governed by Google’s own Privacy Policy and AdMob’s data disclosure. Because interstitial ads are shown automatically as part of normal play, some advertising data is collected even if you never interact with a rewarded ad. You can reset or limit your device’s Advertising ID in your device’s system settings.

1.4 Analytics & Crash Data (Firebase)

Super Shadow Hunt uses Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics (integrated via the Godot × Firebase plugin) to understand app usage and diagnose crashes. This may include:

This data is processed by Google (Firebase) on our behalf and is used solely to improve app stability and understand how the game is played — not to identify you personally. See Google’s Firebase privacy documentation for how Firebase handles this data.

1.5 What We Do NOT Collect

We do not collect: real names, phone numbers, precise location, contacts, or photos. We do not collect or store payment card details directly — any future purchases would be handled entirely by Google Play Billing.


2. How We Use Your Data

We do not sell your data, and we do not use it for purposes beyond those listed above.


3. Where Your Data Is Stored

Gameplay data (username, device ID, email, hashed password, inventory/progress) is stored on servers we operate ourselves (self-hosted Nakama backend on Hetzner Cloud infrastructure, located in the EU). Hetzner acts as our infrastructure provider (data processor) and does not have independent access to use your data for its own purposes.

Advertising, analytics, and crash data (Sections 1.3 and 1.4) is processed by Google (AdMob and Firebase), acting as a data processor under its own security and privacy safeguards.


4. Data Retention


5. Your Rights & Data Deletion

You can request deletion of your data at any time, in either of two ways:

  1. In-app: Settings → Account → Delete My Data
  2. By email: send a deletion request to svartberggames@gmail.com. We will process verified requests within 30 days.

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, or Switzerland, you additionally have the right, under GDPR, to:

To exercise any of these rights, contact svartberggames@gmail.com.


6. Children’s Privacy

Super Shadow Hunt is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the relevant minimum age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at svartberggames@gmail.com so we can delete it.


7. Security

We take reasonable technical measures to protect your data:

However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.


8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the App evolves (e.g., if new features or third-party services are added). Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Effective date” above. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
