Steal The Coin — Privacy Policy

Effective: 27 October 2026 Publisher: CG Art Studio Contact: gngames2020@gmail.com

In brief

• No accounts and no servers. Steal The Coin has no sign-in and no online service. Your progress is saved only on your phone.
• Nothing to buy. There are no in-app purchases. You earn coins by playing and spend them on characters.
• Ads, never during play. There are three kinds:
  • a video you can choose to watch for double coins;
  • a small banner on the menu screens;
  • now and then a full-screen ad between two runs.
• Your choice on personalised ads. The first time you open the game, you choose whether our ad partners may personalise ads. You can change it later in Settings.
• Not for young children. The game is not intended for children younger than 13.

1. What the game keeps on your phone

To remember your game, Steal The Coin saves the following in its private app storage:

• Progress: your coins, best score, unlocked characters and the one you use, achievements, your ten best runs (score, coins, whether you escaped the timer, playing time and date), and simple totals such as runs played and coins collected.
• Settings: the music and sound-effect volumes, whether vibration is enabled, the graphics quality, and whether the how-to-play card has already appeared.
• Your answer to the personalised-ads question.
• Counters that space out the ads: how many times the game has been started and how many runs have passed since the last full-screen ad.

This information never leaves your phone through the game itself. It isn’t sent to us, and we can’t see it. The app also excludes it from Android’s cloud backup and device-to-device transfer, so it stays on this phone and is removed when you uninstall the game.

The game has no analytics and no crash reporting of its own.

2. Advertising

When you see ads

Ad	When it appears
Reward video	Only when you tap WATCH AD — GET 2X on the results screen. If you watch it to the end, you receive the coins from that run a second time.
Banner	A strip at the bottom of the main menu, shop, settings and records screens. Never during a run, while paused or on the results screen.
Full-screen ad	Sometimes, when you leave the results screen with Retry or Home. Never during a run or at its start.

Full-screen ads are limited as follows:

• at most one every 3 runs, and at least 90 seconds apart;
• none during the first two runs after you open the game;
• none at all during your very first time playing;
• none right after you have watched a reward video.

Who shows the ads

Ads are delivered by Unity LevelPlay, the ad mediation service of Unity / ironSource, through its SDK version 9.5.1. It chooses an ad from the networks we use, which are ironSource Ads and Unity Ads.

What the ad partners may collect

These companies collect information directly from your device under their own privacy policies. They use it to choose, show and count ads, to cap how often you see them and to detect fraud. The information can include:

• your device’s advertising ID;
• identifiers created by the ad software for this installation;
• your IP address, from which a rough location (usually the country) can be inferred;
• device details, such as model, operating system, language, screen and network type;
• ad activity, such as which ads were shown or watched and whether you tapped one;
• technical diagnostics about the ad software.

Unity’s privacy policy, which covers LevelPlay, ironSource Ads and Unity Ads: https://unity.com/legal/game-player-and-app-user-privacy-policy

CG Art Studio receives only totals, such as the number of ads displayed and the revenue they produced. These totals never identify a person.

Your choice: personalised or not

The first time you start the game, a short screen asks whether our ad partners may personalise ads.

• ACCEPT: they may use your advertising ID to show ads that fit your interests.
• NO THANKS: ads are still shown, but are not personalised.

You can change your answer at any time in Settings → Privacy / Ad choices. The ad software reads the answer when it starts, so a change takes effect the next time you open the game.

Independently of your answer, the game always tells the ad software that:

• your personal information must not be sold (US state privacy laws);
• the app is not directed to children (COPPA).

3. Permissions

Permission	Why
Vibration	For short haptic effects in play. Switch it off in Settings.
Internet and network state	Needed only for the ad software. The game itself plays offline.
Advertising ID	Lets the advertising software read the ID described above.
Ad services (ad attribution and ad topics, part of Android’s Privacy Sandbox)	Declared by the advertising software for privacy-preserving ad measurement, where your device supports it.
Wake lock, foreground service, start after reboot	Declared by Android’s standard background-task library, which the advertising software uses to finish short tasks such as sending ad reports.

No other access is requested: the game cannot see where you are, your contacts, your camera or microphone, or your pictures and documents.

4. Children

Steal The Coin is not intended for children younger than 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If a child has played and you want the related advertising data erased, email us and we’ll forward your request to Unity.

5. Your controls

• Personalised ads: in the game, Settings → Privacy / Ad choices.
• Advertising ID: Android’s ad privacy settings (Settings → Privacy → Ads) let you reset or delete the ID, or opt out of ad personalisation for all apps.
• Video ads: skip them entirely by not pressing the 2X button.
• Everything the game stored: uninstalling removes it; so does Clear data in the app’s Android settings.

6. Deleting your data

This section is also the data-deletion page Google Play links to.

1. On your phone: uninstall Steal The Coin, or open Android Settings → Apps → Steal The Coin → Storage → Clear data. All game data (progress, coins, characters, achievements, records, settings, ad choice and ad counters) is erased at once. No copy exists anywhere else.
2. The advertising link: delete or reset your advertising ID (Android’s ad privacy settings). Data tied to the old ID can then no longer be connected to your phone.
3. At the ad partners: Unity holds the advertising data, not us. Ask Unity to delete it through the contact options in the policy linked above.
4. Through us: email gngames2020@gmail.com with your advertising ID and we’ll forward it to Unity. Without the ID nothing can be matched to you, because we keep no data about players.

What	Kept by	How long
Game progress, settings, ad choice, ad counters	Your phone only	Until you uninstall or clear the app’s storage
Advertising ID	Your phone (and Unity, when ads are requested)	Until you reset or delete it
Ad delivery data	Unity / ironSource	Per Unity’s privacy policy
Ad totals (counts and revenue)	CG Art Studio	Indefinitely; they hold nothing about any individual

7. Changes

When this policy changes, the effective date above changes too. The current version is always published at https://dudu00033.github.io/privacy/stealthecoin/.
