Privacy Policy

1. Scope Of This Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to Vinyl Roll, the mobile game published by Contingency Entertainment, and to related support interactions and pages that link to this policy.

This policy does not apply to third-party websites, app stores, social platforms, payment processors, advertising networks, or services that you choose to use outside the game. Those services have their own privacy practices.

2. Information Stored On Your Device

Vinyl Roll stores certain gameplay information locally on your device so the game can function. This may include:

• High scores, team best scores, run history, distance, collected rewards, unlock progress, and item ownership.
• Selected artist team, selected song, selected ball, trail, vinyl, world/theme, and gameplay settings.
• Music, sound, tutorial, daily reward, rewarded ad, ad-free window, and remove-ads entitlement status.

Local gameplay data is generally not sent to Contingency Entertainment. You can usually remove local gameplay data by deleting the app or clearing the app data through your device settings, subject to platform behavior.

3. Information We May Receive Or Process

Depending on how you use Vinyl Roll, we or our service providers may receive or process:

• Support information you choose to send, such as your email address, message, device platform, issue description, screenshots, or other details you include when contacting support.
• Purchase and entitlement information, such as whether a remove-ads purchase was completed, restored, canceled, or unavailable. App stores process payment details; we do not receive your full payment card number.
• Advertising and consent information processed through advertising services, such as ad requests, ad interactions, consent status, app/device identifiers, approximate location inferred from network information, device information, app version, and diagnostics.
• Technical information related to app performance, error states, store availability, ad availability, operating system, device type, and app version when processed by platform or advertising services.

We do not intentionally collect contacts, precise GPS location, photos, videos, microphone recordings, health information, government ID, or payment card numbers through Vinyl Roll.

4. How We Use Information

We use information to:

• Operate Vinyl Roll and provide gameplay features.
• Save local progress and settings.
• Provide rewarded ads and manage ad-free rewards.
• Process, verify, and restore remove-ads purchases.
• Respond to support requests.
• Diagnose bugs, improve performance, and understand whether features are working.
• Protect the game, players, purchases, ads, and platform services from fraud, abuse, cheating, or misuse.
• Comply with app-store, advertising, legal, tax, security, and policy requirements.

5. Ads, Consent, And Tracking Choices

Vinyl Roll may use Google AdMob and related Google advertising or consent tools to show ads and rewarded ads. These services may process device identifiers, advertising identifiers, ad interactions, app activity, approximate location inferred from network information, diagnostics, and similar information for advertising, measurement, fraud prevention, security, and compliance.

On iOS, the game may ask for App Tracking Transparency permission before allowing tracking across apps and websites owned by other companies. On Android and in regions where consent is required, the game may show a consent form or rely on device and Google settings.

You can control certain ad and tracking choices through in-game consent prompts where available, your device settings, Apple App Tracking Transparency settings, Google ad settings, or platform privacy controls. If you decline certain permissions or consent choices, ads may still appear, but they may be less personalized.

6. In-App Purchases

If you buy Remove Ads or restore a purchase, the transaction is processed by Apple App Store, Google Play, or the platform where you downloaded the game. Those platforms may process account, payment, tax, fraud prevention, and purchase information under their own policies.

Vinyl Roll may receive limited purchase status information needed to unlock or restore the remove-ads entitlement. We do not receive your full payment card number or full app-store account credentials.

7. Score Sharing

Vinyl Roll may let you generate a scorecard image showing the game name, your high score, and your selected artist team. The scorecard is created so you can choose whether to share it.

When you tap share, your device may open native sharing options. The content is shared only with the platform, app, or person you choose. Once you share content outside Vinyl Roll, the receiving service handles it under its own privacy policy and terms.

8. Third-Party Services

Vinyl Roll may use or interact with third-party services, including:

• Google AdMob and Google User Messaging Platform for ads, rewarded ads, consent, measurement, and fraud prevention.
• Apple App Store, StoreKit, Google Play, and Google Play Billing for distribution, purchases, receipts, refunds, and entitlement restoration.
• Device operating system services, such as native sharing tools, app lifecycle events, storage, audio, and platform settings.

Third-party services may collect, use, disclose, retain, or transfer information according to their own policies. We encourage you to review the privacy information provided by Apple, Google, and any sharing platform you choose to use.

9. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information for money.

We may share or allow processing of information with service providers and platform partners that help us operate, monetize, secure, diagnose, distribute, or improve the game. These include advertising providers, app stores, payment systems, operating system providers, hosting providers, and support tools.

We may disclose information if required by law, legal process, platform policy, or government request, or if we believe disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect rights, safety, security, players, artists, partners, or the integrity of the game.

Some privacy laws define certain advertising or analytics disclosures as "sharing" or "targeted advertising." Where required, you may use available consent prompts, platform settings, or device privacy controls to limit those practices.

10. Data Retention

Local gameplay data remains on your device until it is overwritten, cleared, or deleted through app/device controls.

Support emails and related communications may be kept as long as needed to respond, maintain records, resolve disputes, improve support, or comply with legal obligations.

Purchase, advertising, analytics, consent, and platform records may be retained by Apple, Google, and other service providers according to their own retention practices.

11. Your Choices And Requests

You may contact us at support@contingencyent.com to request access, correction, or deletion of information that Contingency Entertainment controls.

Because most gameplay progress is stored locally on your device, we may not be able to access or delete that local data for you. You can delete the app or clear app data through your device settings to remove local data, subject to platform behavior.

For app-store purchase history, refunds, payment data, advertising IDs, device identifiers, or platform account data, you may need to use Apple, Google, or device privacy controls because those services control much of that information.

If you contact us, please include enough information to understand and verify your request, such as your device platform, app version, purchase issue, and the email address you used to contact support. Do not send sensitive information that is not needed for your request.

12. Children

Vinyl Roll is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, contact support@contingencyent.com so we can review and take appropriate action.

13. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information we control. However, no app, device, network, or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your device, app-store account, and any platform or social account you use when sharing content.

14. International Processing

Information may be processed in the United States or other countries where we, app stores, advertising providers, platform providers, or other service providers operate. Privacy laws may differ from those in your location.

15. Changes To This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The latest version will be posted at https://contingencyent.com/vinyl-roll/privacy with a new effective date.

Your continued use of Vinyl Roll after an updated policy is posted means the updated policy applies to your use of the game.
