1. Overview
Gravity Shaft is a mobile arcade and skill game developed by Mbforge Studio.
This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you use Gravity Shaft.
Gravity Shaft does not operate its own user account system or Mbforge-owned backend database and does not require users to provide their name, email address, phone number, password, payment information, or other direct personal credentials to Mbforge.
Gravity Shaft integrates:
- Google Play Games Services for player authentication and global leaderboard functionality.
- Google AdMob through the Google Mobile Ads SDK for advertising.
2. Local Game Data
Gravity Shaft stores limited gameplay and preference data in the application's local storage.
This may include:
- Your locally saved best score.
- Your selected language preference.
Gravity Shaft does not transmit this local gameplay and preference data to a Mbforge-owned server.
You can remove this local data by clearing Gravity Shaft's application storage/data in Android settings or by uninstalling the application.
3. Google Play Games Services
Gravity Shaft uses Google Play Games Services to provide player authentication and global leaderboard functionality.
When Google Play Games Services is used, Google may process information associated with your Play Games profile and your use of Play Games features.
This may include:
- Google Play Games Player ID.
- Gamer tag or display name.
- Play Games profile avatar.
- Leaderboard scores, rankings, and related gameplay activity.
- Analytics and diagnostic information generated by Google Play Games Services.
Gravity Shaft may use information supplied through Google Play Games Services to:
- Authenticate the Play Games player.
- Submit scores to the global leaderboard.
- Retrieve leaderboard scores and rankings.
- Display player names, avatars, scores, and rankings where supported.
- Provide Google Play Games functionality.
Gravity Shaft and Mbforge do not request or store your Google Account password.
Gravity Shaft does not request access to your email address or friends list for its leaderboard functionality.
Mbforge does not use Google Play Games profile information for advertising.
Google may independently process information required to operate, secure, maintain, and improve Google Play Games Services according to Google's own privacy policies and account settings.
4. Advertising and Ad-Related Data
Gravity Shaft uses Google AdMob, provided by Google, through the Google Mobile Ads SDK.
The Google Mobile Ads SDK may automatically collect and share certain information for advertising, analytics, service operation, measurement, and fraud prevention purposes.
This information may include:
- IP address. An IP address may be used to estimate the general or approximate location of a device.
- User product interactions, including information such as app launches, taps, video views, ad requests, ad impressions, and interactions with advertisements.
- Diagnostic information related to the performance of the application and advertising SDK, including information such as app launch performance, errors, hangs, and related technical information.
- Device and account identifiers, including the Android Advertising ID where available, App Set ID, and, where applicable, other identifiers associated with the device or signed-in accounts.
This information may be used for purposes including:
- Delivering advertisements.
- Measuring advertisement performance.
- Advertising-related analytics.
- Frequency capping.
- Detecting and preventing fraud, abuse, and invalid traffic.
- Maintaining the security and reliability of advertising services.
- Advertising personalization where permitted by applicable consent, settings, and law.
The use of an IP address to estimate a general location does not mean that Gravity Shaft requests GPS location or Android precise or approximate location permission.
Gravity Shaft does not request Android location permission for advertising.
The Google Mobile Ads SDK encrypts data it transmits in transit using Transport Layer Security (TLS).
Availability and use of the Android Advertising ID depend on Android, device settings, applicable permissions, user choices, and Google Mobile Ads configuration. Users may reset or delete their Advertising ID through supported Android privacy controls.
5. Ad Personalization and Privacy Choices
Depending on the user's region, applicable law, consent status, device settings, Google settings, and the advertising configuration used by Gravity Shaft, advertisements may include:
- Personalized ads.
- Non-personalized ads.
- Limited ads.
Personalized advertising may use information and consent signals permitted under the applicable advertising and privacy configuration.
Non-personalized and limited advertising may still require processing of certain information necessary to request and deliver advertisements, perform permitted measurement, limit repeated advertisements, maintain security, and detect fraud or abuse.
For users in regions where additional privacy disclosures or consent are required, including the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, advertising-related privacy information and choices may be presented through the consent management solution configured for the application.
Where consent is legally or contractually required for personalized advertising, personalized advertising should only be requested when the required consent signal is available.
The exact privacy choices and advertising modes available may differ according to region, consent status, device configuration, and Google advertising requirements.
6. Third-Party Services and Data Sharing
Mbforge does not sell, rent, or trade user information.
Gravity Shaft uses Google as a third-party service provider for Google Play Games Services and Google AdMob.
The Google Mobile Ads SDK may automatically collect and share the advertising-related data described in this Privacy Policy with Google for advertising, analytics, service operation, measurement, security, and fraud prevention purposes.
Depending on advertising configuration, consent, region, and available advertising demand, Google may also work with advertising technology partners involved in advertising delivery and measurement.
Information required for Google Play Games functionality, including relevant Play Games profile information and leaderboard activity, is transmitted to and processed by Google as the provider of Google Play Games Services.
Depending on your Google Play Games profile visibility settings, your gamer identity, leaderboard score, and ranking may be visible to other players.
Google processes information according to Google's own privacy policies, service terms, privacy controls, consent signals, and Google Account settings.
7. Permissions and Device Access
Gravity Shaft does not request access to sensitive device features or personal content such as:
- Precise location.
- Approximate location.
- Camera.
- Microphone.
- Contacts.
- Photos or media.
- External storage.
- Calendar.
Gravity Shaft uses standard internet and network connectivity required for:
- Google Play Games authentication.
- Global leaderboard functionality.
- Google AdMob advertising.
- Advertising measurement and related security functions.
Network connectivity does not by itself provide Gravity Shaft with access to the sensitive device features listed above.
8. Data Security
Gravity Shaft's locally stored gameplay and preference data is kept in the application's local storage and is not stored in a Mbforge-owned backend database.
Information transmitted through Google Play Games Services is processed through Google's services and infrastructure.
Information transmitted through the Google Mobile Ads SDK is handled through Google advertising services and, where applicable, participating advertising technology providers.
The Google Mobile Ads SDK encrypts data transmitted by the SDK in transit using Transport Layer Security (TLS).
Mbforge does not maintain an independent server-side database containing Google Play Games profile information, leaderboard scores, or Google AdMob user profiles.
9. Data Retention and Deletion
Local Gravity Shaft gameplay and preference data can be removed by clearing the application's storage/data through Android settings or by uninstalling Gravity Shaft.
Mbforge does not maintain a separate server-side database containing your Google Play Games profile or leaderboard information.
Information processed through Google Play Games Services is managed by Google according to the user's Google Account, Google Play Games profile, applicable account settings, and Google's retention policies.
Google Play Games profile and game-related information may be managed through the relevant Google Play Games and Google Account controls made available by Google.
Information processed through Google AdMob and the Google Mobile Ads SDK is retained and handled by Google and, where applicable, advertising technology providers according to their respective policies, legal requirements, advertising configuration, and consent signals.
