This Privacy Policy explains how Drone Defence (Android package com.dronedefence.vidya) handles information when you play the game, view advertisements, or use its sharing feature. In this policy, “we” refers to the developer of Drone Defence identified on its Google Play listing.
No game account or registration is required. Game progress is saved on your device. The app uses Google AdMob, which processes device and usage information to provide and measure advertisements and prevent fraud. Sharing is optional and initiated by you.
1. Information stored by the game
The game saves mission unlocks, best scores, upgrade credits, weapon upgrade levels, sound preferences and related game settings in its local app storage. Rewarded advertisements can add upgrade credits to this saved balance.
These game records are not uploaded to a developer-operated game server by the current app. The game does not require your name, email address, phone number, password or payment details to play. It does not request access to your camera, microphone, contacts, photos or precise GPS location.
2. Advertising and third-party information processing
Drone Defence uses the Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob) for banner, interstitial and optional rewarded advertisements. Advertising services can collect and share information such as the following, depending on SDK configuration, device settings and your privacy choices:
| Information | Purpose |
|---|---|
| IP address, from which a general location may be estimated | Delivering relevant advertisements, security and fraud prevention |
| Advertising ID, app set ID and other applicable device or account identifiers | Ad delivery, measurement, analytics and fraud prevention |
| App and advertisement interactions, including launches, taps, views and video interactions | Measuring ad performance, operating advertisements and detecting invalid activity |
| Diagnostics and performance information | Maintaining reliability, understanding SDK performance and troubleshooting |
This information may be processed by Google and advertising providers involved in serving an advertisement. The game does not add a player name, email address or other registration profile to ad requests. Ad-related analytics are separate from the locally saved game progress.
Read the Google Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from apps that use its services. These providers’ policies govern their processing, retention and international transfers.
3. Privacy choices and consent
The app uses Google’s User Messaging Platform to check consent requirements and present applicable privacy messages. Ad requests are made only when the consent platform indicates that they are permitted. Where required, an Ad privacy choices option is available in the game menu so you can revisit your choices.
You can also manage advertising-related settings through your Android device and Google account. Available controls vary by Android version and region. Choosing non-personalized or limited ads does not necessarily stop all technical information processing needed to deliver, measure or secure advertisements.
4. Rewarded advertisements
Rewarded ads are optional. If you choose to watch one and the advertising SDK confirms that a reward was earned, the game adds the offered upgrade credits to your local balance. The advertising provider may process ad-viewing and interaction information as described above. The game does not require you to share personal contact information to receive upgrade credits.
5. Sharing the app
The Share app option opens Android’s sharing interface with a prepared message and the game’s Google Play link. You select the recipient or app and decide whether to send. Drone Defence does not read your contacts, automatically send the message, or receive your recipient list. The service you select handles the shared message under its own privacy policy.
6. Permissions and network access
Internet and network-state access support ad delivery and connectivity checks. The Android advertising ID permission supports advertising functions where permitted. Core game assets are included with the app, so gameplay does not depend on a developer-operated online account service.
7. Retention, deletion and backups
Local game records remain in app storage until they are changed, the app’s data is cleared, or the app is removed. Clearing storage or uninstalling can erase progress, credits and upgrades. If Android backup or device transfer is enabled, operating-system-managed backups may retain or restore app data according to your device and account settings.
Information processed by advertising providers is retained according to their own policies. Deleting the game does not automatically delete records already held by Google or other advertising providers. Use their privacy controls or contact them for applicable access or deletion requests.
There is no game account to delete. If you voluntarily contact the developer, the information in your message may be used to respond and resolve your request and retained as needed for that purpose and applicable obligations.
8. Security
The game stores its local records within Android app storage. The app does not intentionally expose those records to other players. Advertising SDK communications are handled by the respective providers; the app’s network configuration disables cleartext HTTP traffic. No device, storage method or transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.
9. Children’s privacy
The game does not request a child’s name, contact details or other registration information. Advertising may process device information as explained in this policy. Parents and guardians should supervise children’s app use and manage device and advertising controls. If you believe a child has provided personal information directly to the developer, contact us using the method below so the matter can be reviewed.
10. Your requests
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion or restrictions concerning personal information, or to withdraw consent. Contact the developer for requests about information held by the developer. For information held independently by Google or an advertising provider, use that provider’s privacy request channels. We cannot remotely retrieve or modify your locally stored game progress.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when the app’s features, information practices or applicable requirements change. The revised policy will show an updated effective date. Additional notice or consent will be provided where required.
12. Contact
For privacy questions or requests, use the developer contact email listed in the App support section of the Drone Defence Google Play listing. Please mention “Drone Defence privacy” in your message. Do not include passwords, advertising identifiers or other sensitive details unless necessary to handle your request.
