Privacy Policy

Effective July 16, 2026

This policy covers bitserenitystudios.com (this website) and, as a baseline, games published by Bit Serenity Studios LLC (“Bit Serenity,” “we,” “us”) on the Apple App Store and Google Play. Individual games may publish a more specific privacy policy in their store listing and inside the game; where a game’s specific policy applies, it takes precedence over this one for that game.

1. This website

1.1 What we collect today

Nothing. This site is a static set of HTML pages. We do not use analytics, tracking pixels, advertising SDKs, or cookies. We do not run forms or sign-ups on this site. No personal information is collected, stored, or shared by Bit Serenity Studios LLC when you visit these pages.

1.2 Features we may add later

We may eventually add features to this site: for example, a contact form, a mailing-list sign-up, or lightweight analytics for understanding aggregate trends (which pages are visited, which countries visitors come from, referring sites). If we do:

• We will update this policy and the effective date before the feature goes live.
• Analytics, if added, will be used for research and trends only; not for advertising, not for building profiles of individual visitors.
• Any form or sign-up will collect only what is needed for that feature and will say so at the point of collection.
• We will not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for their own marketing.

1.3 Hosting logs

This site is hosted on GitHub Pages, operated by GitHub, Inc. When your browser requests a page, GitHub’s infrastructure processes standard web-request information (IP address, requested URL, user-agent, timestamp) in order to serve the page. That handling is governed by GitHub’s privacy statement: github.com/site-policy. We do not receive, request, or retain that data.

1.4 If you email us

Email you send to contact@bitserenitystudios.com is received on email infrastructure operated by Namecheap, Inc. (Private Email). We use the contents of your email only to reply and, if relevant, keep a record of the conversation. We do not add email addresses to marketing lists without an explicit request from you.

2. Our games (baseline policy)

Bit Serenity games are free to download. Depending on the title, a game may be funded by in-game advertising served through Google AdMob, by optional in-app purchases (“microtransactions”) processed by Apple StoreKit or Google Play Billing, by both, or by neither. Each specific game discloses its data-collection practices in the two places required by the stores: Apple’s App Privacy section of the App Store listing (Apple’s “privacy nutrition label”) and Google Play’s Data safety section, and links its own privacy policy from each store listing and from inside the game. The sections that follow are the baseline that applies when a game uses one of these mechanisms; where a game’s own policy says otherwise, that policy takes precedence for that game.

2.1 Data types we may collect in games

• Diagnostic data: crash reports and performance metrics, so we can fix bugs and improve the game.
• Product-interaction data: anonymized in-game events (screens viewed, features used, session length), used only to understand aggregate trends and improve the game.
• Purchase history: if a game offers optional in-app purchases, they are processed by Apple StoreKit or Google Play Billing. Your payment method is handled entirely by Apple or Google; we receive only the anonymized confirmation that a purchase succeeded, the product identifier, and the price.
• Advertising identifiers: if a game shows in-game ads, it uses Google AdMob, which processes the device’s advertising identifier (IDFA on iOS, Advertising ID on Android) to serve ads and measure their performance. Whether those ads are personalized depends on your device settings and your response to Apple’s App Tracking Transparency prompt; if you opt out, you still see ads, but they are not personalized to you. Games that ship without ads do not use these identifiers at all.
• Support correspondence: if you email us for help, the contents of your email.

2.2 How we use this data

• To run, maintain, and improve the game.
• To fix crashes and performance problems.
• To understand aggregate trends in how our games are used (research and analytics on the game overall; never to build a profile of you).
• In games that show ads, to serve them through Google AdMob and to measure their performance. This is how we fund those games.
• In games that offer in-app purchases, to process them through Apple and Google.
• To respond to your support requests.
• To comply with legal obligations.

2.3 What we don’t do

• We do not sell your data to data brokers, resellers, or third parties for their own marketing.
• We do not share your name, email address, or support conversations with advertisers or anyone else.
• We do not attempt to identify individual players from anonymized game analytics.
• We do not personalize ads for players who opt out via Apple’s App Tracking Transparency prompt or Android’s ad-personalization setting.
• We do not operate our own advertising network; when our games show ads, they show them through Google AdMob, and AdMob’s data practices are governed by Google’s privacy policy.

2.4 Third-party services

Depending on the title, a Bit Serenity game may rely on some or all of the third-party services below. The exact list for each game is disclosed in that game’s App Store (App Privacy) and Google Play (Data safety) sections; a game that ships without a given service does not use it:

• Google AdMob for in-game advertising, in games that show ads. Google’s privacy policy is at policies.google.com/privacy, and AdMob’s ad-technology providers are listed at support.google.com/admob.
• Apple StoreKit and Google Play Billing for in-app purchases, in games that offer them. Governed by Apple’s and Google’s respective privacy policies.
• Apple App Analytics and Google Play Console for the aggregate game usage that Apple and Google provide to developers by default.
• A crash-reporting service (such as Firebase Crashlytics) if the specific game uses one. This is listed on that game’s store page.

2.5 Ad personalization and your choices

Some privacy laws (California’s CCPA/CPRA and Colorado’s CPA) define “selling” or “sharing” personal information broadly enough to include the use of advertising identifiers for personalized ads. Under those definitions, using Google AdMob for personalized ads may qualify as a “sale” or “share” of your data. You can opt out at any time:

• On iOS: answer “Ask App Not to Track” when the App Tracking Transparency prompt appears, or open Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking and disable “Allow Apps to Request to Track.”
• On Android: open Settings › Google › Ads and turn on “Opt out of Ads Personalization,” or reset your advertising ID.
• Anywhere: email contact@bitserenitystudios.com with “Do Not Sell or Share” in the subject line, and we will confirm the opt-out.

Opting out does not remove ads from an ad-supported game (ads are how those games are funded); it only stops the ads from being personalized to you. Games that ship without ads are unaffected by this setting.

3. Children’s privacy

We take children’s privacy seriously. If a specific game is directed at children under 13 (U.S.) or under the applicable age of consent in other regions, that game will:

• Comply with the U.S. Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) provisions on children, Apple’s Kids Category requirements, and Google Play’s Families Policy.
• Not collect personal information without verifiable parental consent.
• Not show behavioral advertising or use advertising identifiers.
• Be labeled with the appropriate age rating in its store listing.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, please email contact@bitserenitystudios.com and we will delete it.

4. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights. To exercise any of them, email contact@bitserenitystudios.com with “Privacy Request” in the subject line.

4.4 Everyone else

Even if you live somewhere without a specific privacy statute, you can always email us and ask what we know about you, ask us to delete it, or ask us to stop processing it. We’ll do our best within reason and law.

5. Data retention

Aggregate and anonymized analytics data (which cannot be linked to any specific person) may be retained indefinitely. Support-email correspondence is retained as long as needed to resolve your request and any reasonable follow-ups. In-app purchase records are retained as required by tax, accounting, and store obligations.

6. International data transfers

Bit Serenity Studios LLC is based in the United States. Our hosting and email providers may process data in the United States and, in some cases, other countries. Where required, transfers rely on the applicable legal mechanisms (for example, Standard Contractual Clauses).

7. Security

We keep systems patched, use strong authentication, and limit access to personal data to what is needed to do the work. No system is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable steps to protect the small amount of data we hold.

8. Changes to this policy

If we materially change this policy, we will update this page and revise the effective date at the top. Prior versions are preserved in the site’s public source history at github.com/Bit-Serenity-Studios/BitSerenitySite. For significant changes to how we handle data in a shipped game, we will also notify players in-app.
