AERONOVA: SKY PILOT - PRIVACY POLICY

Contact: support@appnovex.com

THE SHORT VERSION
AeroNova keeps single-player progress on your iPhone. If you play online, we
store an anonymous pilot profile and your race results so ranked duels and
leaderboards work. Ads are provided by Google AdMob, and personalized ads are
only shown if you allow tracking. We never sell your data. You can delete your
online account in the app at any time.

1. INFORMATION STORED ON YOUR DEVICE
Your single-player progress (coins, unlocked aircraft, mission stars, best
times and settings) is saved on your device. We do not receive it. Deleting
the app deletes this data. A sign-in token for online play is kept in the iOS
Keychain.

2. ONLINE PLAY (RANKED DUELS, WEEKLY CUP, LEADERBOARDS)
When you open the Online mode, the app creates an anonymous online account for
you. We store:
- a random account ID and, if you choose Sign in with Apple, the private
  identifier Apple gives us (we do not request your name or email);
- the pilot name, country flag and avatar you choose. These are shown publicly
  on leaderboards;
- your rating, league, race results, best times and flight replays (the
  position and orientation of your aircraft during a race). Replays may be
  shown to other players as "ghosts";
- technical records used to prevent cheating: race start times, app version
  and rate-limit counters.

We use this data only to run online play, leaderboards and fair-play checks.
We never sell it and never use it for advertising. It is hosted by our
processor Supabase, Inc. on servers in the European Union (Ireland).

3. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
- Google AdMob (Google LLC) - shows optional reward ads and occasional
  between-mission ads. Data: device and advertising identifiers (the IDFA only
  if you allow tracking), IP address, approximate location derived from the IP
  address, ad interactions and diagnostics. See
  https://policies.google.com/privacy and
  https://support.google.com/admob/answer/6128543
- Apple App Store / StoreKit - processes in-app purchases and subscriptions.
  Apple handles payment; we never see your card details and only receive
  confirmation of what you bought.
- Supabase, Inc. - hosting for online play (see section 2).
- Apple Game Center (optional) - leaderboards, using your Game Center alias
  and scores under Apple's Privacy Policy
  (https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/).

4. TRACKING AND PERSONALIZED ADS
On iOS 14.5 and later, AeroNova asks for permission through Apple's App
Tracking Transparency prompt before any advertising identifier is used. If you
decline, ads are still shown but they are not personalized. You can change
this at any time in iOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking. If you are
in the EEA, the UK or Switzerland, a consent form from Google's User Messaging
Platform appears first. You can reopen it from AeroNova > Settings > Ad
privacy choices.

5. CHILDREN
AeroNova is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect
personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided personal
information, contact us and we will remove it.

6. YOUR RIGHTS
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR or the CCPA/CPRA), you
may have the right to access, correct, delete or object to the processing of
your personal data. You can delete your online account in the app at any time:
Settings > Online account > Delete online account. This removes your profile,
rating, results and replays from our servers immediately. Offline progress is
removed by deleting the app. For data held by Google or Apple, use their tools
linked above. You can also email us and we will help.

7. SECURITY AND RETENTION
Online data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS) and protected by row-level access
rules, so each player can reach only their own private data. We keep online
account data until you delete your account; inactive anonymous accounts may be
removed after 24 months. Third-party partners keep data according to their own
policies.

8. CHANGES
If this policy changes, we will update the date above and, when the change is
significant, notify you in the app.
