Tap Tree World MOBILE APPLICATION PRIVACY POLICY

Important Note: Tap Tree World is a casual tapping and simulation game. All points, levels, achievements, or any other in-game items in the game hold no real-world monetary value and cannot be exchanged for cash, gift cards, or any other form of monetary compensation or item of value outside of the Service.

The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to inform the Tap Tree World Mobile Application users ("Users", "you") as to the information we collect, what we do with this information, and how your information is protected. This Privacy Policy outlines our information administration practices in relation to the information we acquire through the Tap Tree World Mobile Application and affiliated services (collectively, the "Service").

When you access our Service, we automatically collect certain technical data from your device, such as language settings, IP address, time zone, type and model of device, device settings, operating system, Internet service provider, mobile carrier, hardware ID, and other unique identifiers (such as IDFA and AAID). We need this data to provide our Service, analyze how our Users use the Service, ensure security, and potentially serve contextual advertisements where applicable and permitted.

For improving the Service and understanding user engagement, we may share aggregated or anonymized technical data with third-party analytics providers. We may also share necessary technical identifiers with advertising partners to serve contextual ads within the Service, where applicable. This helps us analyze different interactions (e.g., feature usage) and potentially show relevant ads (e.g., to users who engage with specific features).

Where applicable, if you do not provide us with relevant Personal Data necessary for core functionality, you may not be able to use certain features of our Service completely.

Information collected during download of the App

When you download the app, certain required information is transmitted to the app store you selected (e.g., Google Play Store, Apple App Store), such as account identifiers, device type, and purchase history (if applicable for the download itself). This data collection is governed by the respective app store's privacy policy. We do not control this initial data collection by the store. We may receive anonymous, aggregated statistics from the stores regarding downloads, uninstalls, and crashes.

Data processing when using the App

As part of your use of the app, we collect data required for providing and using the app's features, as detailed in the "What Personal Information Do We Collect?" section. This includes technical identifiers, usage data, and diagnostic information.

This data is collected to provide you with the service, enable its functions, personalize your experience (like tracking tree growth progress, recording in-game history), and prevent misuse or malfunctions.

If you use the Tap Tree World Mobile Application, we collect information on your progress and interactions within the app, linking this data via identifiers like your User ID.

Technical functions and Permissions

Certain app features may require specific device permissions to function. We will request these permissions only when necessary for the feature you are trying to use.

We will notify you before requesting such permissions. Granting permissions is optional, but denying them may limit your ability to use features that rely on them.

Permissions are typically managed through your device's settings. Revoking a permission will stop future data collection for that purpose but does not affect data lawfully processed prior to revocation.

Who Will We Share Your Information With?

Information that Tap Tree World Mobile Application collects may be shared with the following categories of third parties only as necessary and described in this policy:

• Our Internal Teams: We, the TapRoot Games Team involved in operating and improving the Service.
• Advertising Partners: (e.g., Google AdMob, Google Ad Manager, Meta Platforms, Inc.) To serve contextual ads within the app, where applicable and permitted. Sharing is typically limited to technical identifiers like Advertising IDs.
• Login Providers: (e.g., Google LLC, Apple Inc., Meta Platforms, Inc.) If you choose to log in via these third-party services.

How Is Your Information Protected?

TapRoot Games considers user privacy highly important. We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to protect client data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, and destruction. These measures include:

• Security procedures within our operations;
• IT security measures including password protection, access controls, encryption (where appropriate), site monitoring, and firewalls; and
• Confidentiality obligations for personnel with access to personal data.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

For analytics and advertising, we use third-party services. These parties process data on our behalf or as independent controllers according to their own privacy policies. We select partners carefully and enter into agreements where required, aiming to ensure compliance with applicable data protection regulations.

Your Consent & Data Retention

By using the Service, you consent to the processing of your personal data as described in this Privacy Policy. We will retain your personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, including providing the Service, resolving disputes, enforcing our agreements, and complying with legal obligations, or until you request its deletion.

Children's Data

The Tap Tree World Service is intended for users who are at least 16 years old (or the minimum age required by applicable law in your jurisdiction to consent to data processing). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16.

In accordance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") in the U.S., we do not knowingly solicit or accept personally identifiable information from users known to be under 13 years of age. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child under 16 (or 13 where COPPA applies), we will take steps to delete the information as soon as possible.

If you believe that we have collected information from or about a child under the relevant age limit, please notify us immediately at support@gametaptreewprld.top.

Automatically Collected Data

As described earlier, TapRoot Games receives and stores certain types of technical and usage data automatically whenever you interact with the Service. This data helps us operate and improve the Service.

Legal Bases for Processing (Primarily for GDPR/EEA Users)

We process your personal information based on the following legal grounds:

• Contractual Necessity: To provide the Service you requested and perform our obligations under the Terms of Service.
• Legal Obligation: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, or legal processes.
• Legitimate Interests: For purposes such as improving the Service, analytics, research, ensuring security, fraud prevention, and potentially contextual marketing/advertising.
• Consent: Where required by law (e.g., for certain types of tracking, non-essential cookies, or specific data uses like accessing camera/location), we rely on your consent.

Do We Use Cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device by websites or apps. While mobile apps don't use traditional browser cookies in the same way, they often use similar technologies like SDKs (Software Development Kits) that store identifiers or data locally on the device for purposes like analytics, personalization, and tracking user sessions.

TapRoot Games may use such technologies to store preferences, analyze usage patterns, track sessions, ensure security, and potentially serve relevant contextual ads within the app (where applicable).

Obtaining Information Through Third Party Sources

TapRoot Games generally collects information directly from you or your device. We typically do not obtain personal information about you from external third-party sources like public databases or data brokers, except potentially for fraud prevention or security verification purposes where necessary and legally permitted.

How You Can Access or Change Personal Information

You may have the right to access, review, correct, update, or request deletion of your personal information held by TapRoot Games, subject to applicable law. You can often manage some basic profile information directly within the app settings (if available). For other requests, please contact us at support@gametaptreewprld.top.

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) - Rights for EEA Residents

If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA), you have specific data protection rights under the GDPR. TapRoot Games aims to take reasonable steps to allow you to exercise these rights, including the Right to Withdraw Consent, Right of Access, Right to Rectification, Right to Erasure, Right to Restriction of Processing, Right to Data Portability, and Right to Object.
