- Our service providers. We work with trusted partners who help us provide the Service — including hosting providers, analytics services (like Google), advertising networks (such as AdMob), and payment services accessed via tools like Unity IAP. These partners process your data only under our instructions and in accordance with their own privacy policies.
- Other companies and public authorities. We may share data with payment providers to verify purchases or with public authorities if required by law or to prevent fraud and ensure safety.
- We may also share your data if you give us explicit consent or if it’s necessary to protect our rights, property, or the safety of players and others.
Advertising and Analytics Partners
Our game includes features from partners such as advertising and analytics services. Currently, we use services like Google AdMob and Firebase (for analytics, database, and cloud storage). These partners may collect and process data such as your IP address, mobile identifiers, device details, pages visited, and your general location and activity times. We may also share data (like device and usage information) with these partners to support interest-based advertising — also known as “online behavioral advertising.” These partners may use this data, combined with information collected from other services, to deliver personalized ads when you use other apps or websites in their network. These partners operate under their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review their policies for more information on their data practices. You can also manage ad preferences directly from your device settings or by visiting the Google Ads Settings.
INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
Our game is available globally, and as a result, your data may be transferred to and processed in countries outside of your country of residence. These countries may have different data protection laws than your own. We work with third-party services such as:
- Google AdMob (for advertising)
- Unity (for game development, analytics, and in-app purchases)
- Firebase (for storing and managing data, specifically with Firebase Storage located in the US-Central1 region, Database located in the Asia-South1 region, and Cloud Functions executing in the Asia-South1 region).
These partners may process your data on servers located in various regions around the world. When your data is transferred internationally, we take appropriate steps to protect it, such as relying on standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission (where applicable, e.g., for EU data transfers) or other legally valid mechanisms under applicable data protection laws. By using our game, you consent to the transfer of your data to countries outside your own in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Note: you may still receive non-promotional messages like game updates or purchase confirmations.
- Push Notifications: You can disable push notifications anytime through your device’s settings.

HOW DO WE PROTECT YOUR DATA
Security Safeguards
We are committed to providing a secure and safe experience for all our players. We implement a variety of administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. We continually monitor and improve our security protocols to ensure the safety of your personal information.
Data Retention
We retain data associated with your account as long as your account is active or as necessary to provide our Services. If you request account deletion, we will delete or anonymize your personal data, except for information we are legally required to retain or need to retain for legitimate business purposes such as fraud prevention, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and compliance with legal obligations. Data retained for these purposes will be held only for as long as necessary to fulfill those purposes. We regularly review the data we hold to ensure it is only retained as necessary.
CHILDREN
At LightAxis, we take the privacy of children seriously. Our Services are not intended for children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children in a manner prohibited by applicable law. If we become aware that a child under 13 (or the applicable age) has provided us with personal data in violation of these terms, we will take appropriate steps to delete the data and terminate the child’s account.
For players who may be underage but do not target children directly, we may implement features and restrictions based on age to comply with applicable laws (e.g., restricting access to social features for users under 16 in certain regions). The processing of personal data for these users may be limited to only what is necessary for the operation of the game, without behavioral advertising or certain other data processing activities.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under the applicable age has provided us with personal data, or wish to review, modify, or delete your child’s personal data, please contact us using the contact information provided above.
