Privacy Policy
for POP & AVOID

This Privacy Policy describes how XNX Games (“we,” “us,” or “our”) handles information in connection with the mobile game POP & AVOID (the “Game”) available on Android via Google Play.

We are committed to protecting your privacy with a minimal-data approach. We do not require you to create an account, and we do not collect your name, password, phone number, home address, or payment information.

POP & AVOID is a casual arcade game developed and published by XNX Games for Android devices via Google Play. This policy explains what information is involved when you play the Game, how advertising works, and what choices you have.

By downloading, installing, or playing POP & AVOID, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the Game.

This website itself does not use cookies, analytics, or tracking. It is a static information page with no backend.

We practice data minimization. POP & AVOID does not require you to provide personal information and does not ask you to create an account.

Information we do not collect

We do not collect or request:

• Your name, email address, password, or username
• Phone number or physical address
• Payment or financial information
• Precise location data

If you contact us by email, you voluntarily provide your email address and message content solely to allow us to respond.

Information stored locally on your device

The Game may store basic, non-personal data locally on your device using standard Android storage (such as app preferences or local save files). This is kept on your device and is not transmitted to XNX Games servers. Examples include:

• High score and gameplay progress
• Audio settings (e.g., music / sound on or off)
• Basic game preferences

You can clear this data at any time via your device’s Settings → Apps → POP & AVOID → Storage → Clear Data, or by uninstalling the Game.

Information processed by third parties for advertising

To support the free-to-play Game with advertisements, our advertising partner Google AdMob may automatically process certain device-related information when ads are requested and displayed. This is described in detail in Section 4 below. XNX Games does not directly collect or store your advertising identifier on our own servers.

POP & AVOID uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. Ads are an essential part of keeping the Game free to play. We use only two AdMob formats:

How Google AdMob handles information

When an ad is requested, Google and its partners may process information provided by your Android device and Google Play services to serve, measure, and improve advertisements. This may include:

• An advertising-related identifier provided by Android / Google (such as the Google Advertising ID), if available and permitted by your device settings
• Approximate device and app information (such as device model, operating system version, app version, and language)
• General, non-precise information derived from your IP address (such as rough region) for ad delivery and fraud prevention
• Ad interaction data (such as whether an ad was viewed or clicked, where permitted)

This processing is performed by Google in accordance with Google’s own privacy policies and technologies for advertising and measurement. XNX Games does not directly receive, store, or control your advertising identifier on our own servers; it is handled by Google’s advertising systems on the device and Google’s servers.

Your control over advertising identifiers

You can manage how your advertising identifier is used at any time in your Android device settings:

• Android → Settings → Privacy → Ads (wording may vary by Android version) — you can reset or delete your advertising ID and manage ad personalization.
• You can also limit ad personalization or opt out of personalized ads where your device offers that option.

Choosing to limit personalization may result in less relevant ads but will not prevent ads from appearing in the Game.

We use only what is needed to operate and improve the Game:

• To provide and maintain the Game — ensuring core gameplay, saving your local progress and settings on your device, and keeping the Game functional.
• To support the free-to-play model — allowing Google AdMob to display Rewarded and Interstitial ads as described above, so we can continue offering POP & AVOID without charge.
• To improve and troubleshoot — understanding anonymous, aggregated performance (such as crash-free operation) only to the extent provided by Google Play and AdMob reporting, without identifying you personally.
• To communicate with you — only if you contact us, to respond to your inquiry.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your information for purposes beyond those described in this policy.

The Game integrates the following third-party services, each governed by its own privacy policy:

We encourage you to review Google’s policies to understand how Google collects, uses, and shares information through these services. This Privacy Policy does not govern Google’s practices.

No other third-party SDKs are used to collect personal data in the Game. If additional services are integrated in the future, this table will be updated.

Because POP & AVOID stores only minimal local data on your device (such as score and audio settings), retention is determined by you:

• Local game data remains on your device until you clear it via the app storage settings or by uninstalling the Game.
• Information processed by Google AdMob for advertising is retained by Google according to Google’s retention policies.
• If you contact us by email, we retain your message only as long as necessary to respond and to maintain a record of correspondence, unless a longer retention is required by law.

We do not maintain user accounts or server-side profiles for players.

POP & AVOID is a general-audience casual arcade game. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Advertising in the Game is provided through Google AdMob, which is required to comply with applicable laws and Google Play’s Families and Children policies where relevant. Google may apply additional safeguards, such as serving non-personalized ads in appropriate contexts.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided personal information in connection with the Game (for example, by contacting us), please contact us at the address in Section 12 and we will take appropriate steps to address your request.

We take reasonable measures to protect the Game and its limited data handling:

• The Game does not transmit personal identifiers to servers operated by XNX Games.
• Advertising is handled securely through Google’s infrastructure and encryption in transit.
• Local data is stored using standard Android app storage mechanisms.

No method of transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. While we strive to use appropriate safeguards, we cannot guarantee absolute security. Keeping your device, operating system, and Google Play services up to date helps protect your information.

You have control over your experience:

• Advertising identifier: Reset, delete, or limit the use of your advertising ID via Settings → Privacy → Ads on your Android device. This affects how Google personalizes ads across apps.
• Personalized ads: Where your device offers it, you can opt out of personalized ads. You will still see ads, but they may be less relevant.
• Local data: Clear saved game data or reset settings via Settings → Apps → POP & AVOID → Storage → Clear Data or by uninstalling the Game.
• Contact: You may contact us to ask questions about this policy. If you have emailed us, you may request that we delete your email correspondence.
• Uninstall: You can stop all collection associated with the Game by uninstalling it from your device.

Note: Ad delivery and measurement involve Google’s systems. For choices that relate to Google’s processing, please refer to Google Privacy & Terms and your device’s ad settings.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the Game, our practices, advertising partners, or legal requirements.

When we make changes, we will revise the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and publish the updated policy at this URL. We encourage you to review this page periodically.

Continued use of POP & AVOID after an update indicates your acknowledgment of the revised policy.

If you have questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy or POP & AVOID, please contact us:

Please do not include sensitive personal information in your message. No physical mailing address is listed because none is required for this digital product; all support is handled via email and Google Play.
