Privacy Policy

Effective date: May 4, 2026

This page is the public privacy policy for Tycoonist and the mobile game Dynasty of the Nile. It is written to support Google Play privacy policy requirements and should be read together with the Google Play Data safety form and any in-app notices shown to players.

1. Contact

Company: Tycoonist

Product: Dynasty of the Nile

Privacy contact: yaalghzawi23@med.just.edu.jo

2. Information We Process

Tycoonist limits data processing to what is needed to run the game, process purchases, show optional rewarded ads, honor player choices, and secure the service.

  • Local gameplay data stored on the player's device, including progression, settings, resources, and upgrades.
  • Purchase and entitlement data, including Google Play product IDs, purchase tokens, verification timestamps, and a Firebase anonymous user ID used for purchase verification and restore.
  • Consent and ad-related data handled by Google Mobile Ads and Google's User Messaging Platform.
  • Save export and import files when the player chooses to export or import save data.
  • Limited technical and security data needed to prevent fraud and duplicate purchase-token rewards.

Tycoonist does not sell personal information or personal and sensitive user data.

3. How We Use Information

  • To save and restore game progress.
  • To verify purchases and restore entitlements.
  • To show optional rewarded ads and manage privacy choices.
  • To prevent fraud, abuse, and duplicate purchase-token claims.
  • To provide player support and respond to privacy requests.

4. Children Under 13 and Mixed-Age Audiences

Dynasty of the Nile may be offered to mixed-age audiences. When Google Play Families Policy applies because children are included in the target audience, Tycoonist's policy is to limit data practices for children and users of unknown age.

  • We do not use children's data for interest-based advertising or remarketing.
  • Any ads shown to children or users of unknown age must use Google Play Families Self-Certified Ads SDKs and must be appropriate for children.
  • We do not ask children to provide more personal information than is reasonably necessary to operate the game, verify purchases, or comply with law.
  • We do not knowingly use precise location, contact lists, microphone data, camera data, or similar sensitive data from children for gameplay.
  • Parents or guardians may contact Tycoonist to request review or deletion of personal information where legally applicable.

For children or users of unknown age, Tycoonist intends to rely on Google Play target-audience settings, age handling, and child-appropriate SDK behavior where required by Google Play policy.

5. Players 13 and Over

For players who are 13 or older, the game may offer:

  • Optional rewarded ads.
  • Optional in-app purchases.
  • Ad privacy controls where supported by the ad and consent providers.
  • Save export and import tools controlled by the player.

6. Purchases and Payment-Related Processing

Tycoonist does not receive full payment card details from Google Play purchases.

When a player makes or restores an in-app purchase:

  • Google Play Billing returns the product ID and purchase token.
  • Firebase Authentication may create an anonymous user ID to associate entitlement verification with the player session.
  • Firebase Functions verifies the purchase with Google Play Developer APIs.
  • Purchase tokens are stored as hashes rather than being written to Firestore in raw form.

7. Advertising and Consent

The game may use Google Mobile Ads and Google User Messaging Platform.

These providers may process identifiers and consent-related signals under their own privacy terms. Rewarded ads are optional gameplay features. Tycoonist does not sell player data for advertising.

Where required, players are given consent or privacy-choice flows through Google's tooling. If Google Play Families Policy applies, ads shown to children or users of unknown age must not use interest-based advertising.

8. Sharing

Tycoonist shares information only as needed with service providers and platform operators that support the game, such as:

  • Google Play Billing
  • Google Mobile Ads
  • Google User Messaging Platform
  • Firebase Authentication
  • Firebase Functions
  • Firestore

Tycoonist may also disclose information if required by law, legal process, security needs, fraud prevention, or a corporate transaction.

9. Data Retention

  • Local save data remains on the device until the player deletes or resets it.
  • Purchase-verification and entitlement records may be retained to prevent fraud, restore entitlements, maintain audit history, and comply with legal obligations.
  • Exported save files remain wherever the player stores or shares them unless the player deletes them.

10. Security

Tycoonist uses reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data, including platform and cloud-provider security controls and HTTPS transport where supported by the underlying services.

No method of storage or transmission is perfectly secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

11. Player Choices

  • Reset local game progress from within the app.
  • Export and import save data by choice.
  • Restore eligible purchases from within the app.
  • Use ad privacy options where available through supported providers.

12. International Processing

Tycoonist and its service providers may process information in countries other than the player's own country. When this occurs, processing is subject to the safeguards and legal obligations of the relevant provider and applicable law.

13. Changes to This Policy

Tycoonist may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted at the public policy URL and will include the new effective date.
