Stupid Shark (“we,” “us,” or “our”) develops and publishes mobile games. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, retain, and protect information when you play one of our games, use a related service, make a purchase, or contact us (together, the “Services”).
Stupid Shark, based in Ukraine, is responsible for the processing we carry out for our own purposes. Some app stores, advertising partners, and other third parties process information for their own purposes under their own privacy policies.
Features vary by game. References in this policy to accounts, cloud saves, advertising, purchases, notifications, or a particular provider apply only when the game you use offers or integrates that feature. A game’s in-app notices, consent controls, and store disclosures may provide additional details about that game.
If you contact support, submit feedback, or make a privacy request, we may receive your contact details, message, attachments you choose to send, details needed to investigate the request (such as device model, game version, purchase reference, or approximate time of an issue), and our correspondence with you. Please avoid sending sensitive information that is unnecessary to your request.
If a game offers an optional account or sign-in feature, we may receive an account or player identifier, display name, email address or other profile details made available by your chosen sign-in method, authentication status, and information needed to maintain and secure your account. The sign-in provider may separately process your information under its own policy.
When you use a game, we and integrated software development kits (SDKs) may process:
Device model, operating system, app version, language, region, network information, and similar technical details.
IP address and approximate location inferred from it. Our games do not require precise GPS location for ordinary gameplay.
App installation, session, device, platform, and advertising identifiers, where available and permitted.
Game launches, session activity, progress, level outcomes, feature use, settings, rewards, and other gameplay events.
Crash reports, error logs, performance data, device state, and related diagnostics.
Advertising impressions, interactions, rewarded-ad completions, and associated measurement or fraud-prevention signals, in games that show ads.
These identifiers may relate to a device or installation even when we do not know your name.
A game may keep progress and preferences locally on your device. If it offers an account, cloud save, cross-device sync, or online economy, we may also process your player ID, progress, inventory, virtual currency balances, purchases, and settings through the relevant service. Clearing app data or uninstalling a game can remove local data; it does not necessarily delete cloud data or information held by providers.
If a game offers in-app purchases, the app store or payment provider processes your payment. We do not receive your full payment card or bank account details. We may receive product IDs, receipts or purchase tokens, transaction IDs, status, time, and other limited information needed to validate purchases, deliver content, prevent fraud, and handle support requests.
If a game offers notifications, we or a notification provider may process a push token, installation or app identifier, device information needed for delivery, and notification interaction data. Notification permission can be managed in your device settings. Availability and permission requirements depend on the game and platform.
We do not intentionally request access to your contacts, private messages, precise GPS location, or sensitive health or biometric data for ordinary gameplay. Some information may nevertheless be included in material you voluntarily send to support.
Where a legal basis is required, we rely on one or more of the following as appropriate:
| Purpose | Examples | Legal basis where applicable |
|---|---|---|
| Provide the Services | Run gameplay, save progress, maintain an account, deliver rewards, sync data, and validate purchases | Contract; legitimate interests |
| Keep games secure and reliable | Diagnose crashes, prevent fraud and abuse, troubleshoot, and protect accounts | Legitimate interests; legal obligations |
| Improve games | Understand usage, balance gameplay, evaluate features, and improve performance | Legitimate interests; consent where required |
| Show and measure ads | Serve contextual or, where permitted, personalized ads; limit frequency; measure results; provide optional rewarded ads | Consent where required; legitimate interests where permitted |
| Configure features | Supply settings, operational changes, and controlled feature rollouts | Contract; legitimate interests |
| Communicate with you | Answer support or privacy requests and, if offered and permitted, send notifications | Contract; legitimate interests; consent where required |
| Meet legal duties | Maintain required records, respond to lawful requests, and resolve claims | Legal obligations; legitimate interests |
Our legitimate interests include operating, protecting, supporting, and improving the Services and sustaining games through permitted monetization. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw it without affecting processing already carried out. If information needed to provide a requested feature is not supplied, that feature may be unavailable.
Depending on the game, we may use Google Firebase products such as Google Analytics for Firebase, Crashlytics, Remote Config, and Cloud Messaging; Unity services such as Unity LevelPlay (ironSource), Unity Ads, Player Accounts, Authentication, Economy, or Cloud Save; Google AdMob; and applicable app-store services. A provider’s presence in this policy does not mean it is active in every game.
Analytics helps us understand how games are used. Crash reporting helps us investigate technical problems. Remote configuration can change operational settings without a new download. Cloud and authentication services may support accounts, purchases, virtual items, or saved progress where offered.
In games with ads, mediation platforms and advertising partners may receive advertising or other device identifiers, IP address, approximate region, app and device details, consent signals, and ad interaction data. They may use this information to deliver and measure ads, limit frequency, attribute activity, and detect fraud, subject to their roles and policies. Personalized advertising is subject to applicable consent and opt-out requirements. Choosing non-personalized ads may still result in contextual ads.
Our partners may act as processors on our behalf or independently determine some purposes of processing. See Section 11 for their privacy information.
We may share relevant information with:
Hosting, authentication, analytics, crash reporting, customer support, cloud save, payment validation, advertising, and other providers that help operate the Services.
App stores, payment providers, and sign-in providers involved in a feature you choose to use.
Authorities or other parties when reasonably necessary to comply with law, protect rights or safety, prevent fraud, or establish or defend legal claims.
A successor in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, subject to applicable notice requirements.
We may also use or share aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be linked back to a person or installation, subject to applicable law.
We do not sell personal information for money. Disclosing identifiers or activity data to advertising partners for personalized ads may nevertheless count as a “sale,” “sharing,” or “targeted advertising” under certain laws; see Section 8.
Where offered, you can change consent or advertising preferences through the game’s privacy controls. You can also use your device’s advertising and notification settings and the controls offered by the app store, sign-in provider, or advertising partner. A choice to decline personalized ads does not necessarily remove ads from a game.
You may contact us at support@stupidshark.com about a privacy choice or request. Include the game you use and enough information to locate relevant records; please do not send passwords or full payment details.
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, then delete or anonymize it where feasible, subject to legal duties and backup cycles. The period depends on the information and the game:
Local progress remains until you clear a game’s data, use an available reset option, or uninstall it.
Account and cloud progress generally remain while the account or feature is active and for a reasonable period afterward to handle restoration, disputes, security, and legal obligations.
Support messages remain as needed to handle the request and maintain reasonable support and legal records.
Analytics, diagnostics, installation identifiers, and advertising data are retained according to our configurations and applicable provider practices.
Purchase records may be retained to deliver purchases, prevent fraud, and meet accounting or legal obligations.
Deleting an app removes local data but may not remove account data, cloud saves, purchase records, or data already processed by third parties. If a game offers an account, use its available deletion controls or contact us at support@stupidshark.com with “Account and Data Deletion” and the game’s name. We will explain any records that must be retained and any steps needed with an independent provider.
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, including access controls and service-provider security measures appropriate to the information involved. No electronic system is completely secure.
We operate from Ukraine, and providers may process information in other countries. Where applicable law requires safeguards for a transfer, we or the relevant provider use an appropriate mechanism, such as an adequacy decision or approved contractual clauses.
Depending on your location and the law that applies, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of your information; restrict or object to certain processing; withdraw consent; or opt out of targeted advertising, sale, or sharing. You may also be able to appeal a decision or complain to a data protection authority.
Email support@stupidshark.com with “Privacy Request” and identify the game concerned. We may need to verify your request and ask for a player ID, transaction reference, platform, or other information sufficient to locate your records. If a game has no account, our ability to connect an installation identifier to you may be limited. We respond as required by applicable law and do not unlawfully discriminate for exercising privacy rights.
EEA, UK, and Switzerland. The legal bases in Section 2 apply where the relevant data-protection law requires them. You may lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
United States. Depending on the state law that applies, categories processed may include identifiers, device and network information, app activity, approximate location, purchase information, support correspondence, and inferences used for analytics or advertising. Their sources, purposes, recipients, and retention criteria are described in Sections 1–6. Although we do not sell personal information for money, personalized advertising disclosures may qualify as a sale, sharing, or targeted advertising under some laws. To request an applicable opt-out, use an available in-game control or email support@stupidshark.com with “Do Not Sell or Share” and identify the game. Authorized-agent requests and appeals are handled where required by law. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of children under 16 for cross-context behavioral advertising without legally required authorization.
Other regions. If privacy law in your jurisdiction grants additional rights, contact us using the same address. We will handle your request under the law that applies to us.
Our games are intended for the audiences identified in their respective store listings and are not directed to children under 13 unless a particular game expressly says otherwise. Age thresholds and parental-consent rules vary by location. We do not knowingly collect a child’s personal information in violation of applicable law or knowingly use that information for personalized advertising. If you believe this has happened, email support@stupidshark.com; we will investigate and take appropriate steps. Any game directed to children requires its own appropriate settings and disclosures.
App stores, sign-in providers, advertising networks, and linked sites have their own privacy practices. Their policies apply to processing they carry out independently.
We may update this policy when our practices, games, providers, or legal obligations change. We will revise the “Last updated” date and provide additional notice when required. Where a change requires consent, we will request it separately.
The following resources may be relevant depending on the features of the game you use:
Other enabled app stores, sign-in services, and advertising partners may have their own privacy notices.
