Overview
Retro Zombies is a free-to-play first-person zombie survival shooter for iPhone and iPad. This policy explains what data the game and the services it uses collect, and how that data is handled.
Retro Zombies has no accounts. You do not sign in, and we do not ask for your name or email address to play.
What stays on your device
Your settings, scores, statistics, the layout of your controls and the number of runs you have played are stored on your device.
Anonymous usage data
To improve the game, Retro Zombies sends anonymous usage events to a third-party analytics service. They include when the app opens and goes to the background, when a run starts and ends, each round you reach with your points, kills and the weapons and perks you hold, when an ad is requested and shown, and when the unlock is viewed or bought.
Each event carries the app version, your device model, operating system version, screen size, the kind of input you use and the game's frame rate, tied to a random identifier created on your device. That identifier is not linked to your name, your email address or any account.
When an event arrives, our analytics service also receives your IP address and derives an approximate location from it, to the level of a city. We use this to understand where players are.
Advertising
Retro Zombies is free to play with ads: your first two runs have none, then a short ad plays before each run. Ads are provided by a third-party advertising service, which receives your IP address and device and app information to serve and measure ads.
Retro Zombies does not ask to track you across other apps and websites, and it does not use your advertising identifier. Ads may therefore be less personalized.
Ads never give you an advantage in the game.
Purchases
A one-time unlock removes the ads and lets you play solo offline. Purchases are processed by the app store you downloaded the game from; we never see your payment details.
We use a third-party purchase service to confirm the unlock and restore it on your devices. It receives an anonymous app user ID and your purchase.
Games with friends
In a game with friends, the name you choose and a four-letter join code pass through our relay server to the other players, and voice chat travels between players through it.
Voice is not recorded or stored, and the relay does not keep a record of games or players. The relay sees your network address while you are connected.
How data is used
We use this data to run and improve the game, measure its performance on different devices, show ads, confirm purchases and answer your support requests.
We do not sell your personal information.
Data sharing
We share data with the third-party service providers described above (analytics, advertising and purchases) only to operate the game, and each handles it under its own privacy terms. We do not share your data with data brokers.
Data retention
We retain information only as long as needed to operate and improve the game, comply with legal obligations, and resolve disputes.
If you ask us to delete data we hold about you, we will process that request in accordance with applicable law.
Children's privacy
Retro Zombies contains simulated violence and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.
If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us so we can review and remove it where appropriate.
Changes to this policy
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised effective date.
