Halloween Countdown ("we", "our", "the app") is developed by PRASAD DeCODED. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our Android application.
By using the app, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
We do not collect or receive any personal information ourselves. The app has no account, no login, and no servers of our own — nothing you do in the app is sent to us.
The third-party services described in sections 3 and 4 do collect some data, including your advertising ID, IP address, and approximate (country-level) location. Some privacy laws, including the GDPR, treat these as personal data, so we list them here rather than leaving them out.
The following is stored locally on your device only and is never transmitted anywhere:
🔒 Everything in the list above stays on your device. We have no servers and cannot access it.
The app uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. AdMob may collect certain information to serve relevant ads. The types of ads shown include:
Interstitial ads are shown only at natural break points (e.g., after completing a game), never during active gameplay.
Rewarded ads are always optional and user-initiated — you choose to watch them in exchange for bonus content.
Google AdMob may collect device identifiers, IP address, and general location to serve and measure ads. Please review Google's Privacy Policy for more details on their data practices.
If you subscribe, banner and full-screen ads are no longer requested or displayed. Optional rewarded ads remain available on the Ads-Free tier if you choose to watch one; the Ultimate tier removes them entirely.
The app uses Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics to help us understand app usage and fix crashes. This may collect:
This data is pseudonymous rather than anonymous: it is tied to a randomly generated identifier for your app install and to your device's advertising ID, not to your name, email, or any account. We cannot identify you personally from it, but privacy laws such as the GDPR still treat identifiers of this kind as personal data, which is why we list them here.
We do not add any tracking of our own — the app records no custom analytics events. Please review Firebase's Privacy Policy for details.
The app offers optional auto-renewing subscriptions — Ads-Free and Ultimate — each available monthly or yearly. Subscribing is entirely optional. Every countdown, game, sound and widget feature works without one.
💳 All payments are processed by Google Play. We never see, receive, or store your card details, billing address, or any payment information.
Google Play handles the transaction and tells the app only whether you currently have an active subscription. That status is stored on your device so the app keeps working offline, and it is not sent to us or to anyone else. Your subscription itself is held by Google Play against your Google account, so it survives uninstalling the app and can be restored from the Settings screen.
Subscriptions renew automatically at the price shown until cancelled. You can view, change or cancel yours at any time in Google Play → Subscriptions, or from the Settings screen inside the app. Cancelling stops future renewals — you keep access until the end of the period you have already paid for.
Refunds are handled by Google Play under their refund policy, not by us.
The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. It has no account system and asks for no personal details.
Advertising and analytics are provided by Google under the policies described in sections 3 and 4. If you believe a child has used the app and you have concerns about data collected by those services, please contact us using the details below.
All app data (game scores, settings, costume progress) is stored locally on your device using Android's Room database and DataStore. This data is:
Android Auto Backup. Android backs this data up to your own Google Drive, so your scores, tokens and costume unlocks return when you reinstall the app or set up a new phone. That backup belongs to you and counts against your own Drive storage — it is not somewhere we can reach, and we never receive a copy.
Because of that backup, uninstalling the app does not necessarily erase this data forever; it may be restored if you reinstall. You can turn the backup off, or delete an existing one, in your device's Settings → Google → Backup.
The app requests the following permissions:
The app does not request access to your camera, microphone, contacts, files, or device location. The approximate country-level location mentioned in sections 3 and 4 is derived by Google from your IP address, not from your device's location services.
The app uses the following third-party services that may collect data:
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
