Privacy Policy
This policy explains what Path of Hero ("the game") collects, why, and what you can do about it. Path of Hero is intended for players aged 13 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 13.
What we collect
- Player account. The game creates an anonymous account tied to your device. We store a random device identifier and a Player ID. We do not ask for your name, email or phone number to play.
- Game progress. Chapters reached, talents, pets, equipment, currencies, settings, missions, achievements and Battle Pass progress, saved on our servers so your progress survives reinstalling.
- Leaderboard name. A name or generated placeholder shown to other players on leaderboards.
- Purchases. When you buy something, Apple or Google sends us a receipt which we verify. We never see your card or payment details.
- Usage analytics. Gameplay events (for example, chapter cleared, run ended) are sent from our server to Google Analytics 4, labelled with your Player ID. The Player ID is a random identifier, not your real identity.
- Advertising. The game shows optional rewarded ads through Google AdMob. AdMob may collect your device's advertising identifier, IP address and device information to serve and measure ads.
- Technical data. Your IP address is used briefly by our servers for abuse prevention (rate limiting).
How we use it
- To run the game, save progress and keep leaderboards fair.
- To verify purchases and deliver what you bought.
- To understand how the game is played and fix problems.
- To show ads that fund the game.
Who we share it with
We do not sell personal data. Data is processed by service providers that act for us: Google (AdMob and Google Analytics), Apple and Google Play (purchases), and our hosting and database providers. These providers have their own privacy policies.
Advertising choices
You can limit ad personalisation in your device settings: on Android, Settings → Google → Ads; on iOS, Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking and Apple Advertising.
Retention and security
We keep game data while your account is active. Data travels over HTTPS and purchase verification happens on our servers, not on your device.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights over your personal data, such as access or correction. To ask, contact us through the Support page.
Changes
If we change this policy we will update the date at the top of this page.
