1. Who we are and what this policy covers
LoadingPix ("LoadingPix", "we", "us" or "our") publishes Golden District: Idle City Tycoon (the "Game"). This policy explains how information is handled when you install or use the Android Game and optional features including rewarded ads, Google Play Games, cloud saves, leaderboards, achievements, in-app purchases, sharing and local notifications.
This policy covers the Game. The LoadingPix website has a separate website privacy policy.
2. Information processed by the Game
Game progress and preferences
The Game stores the information needed to show your city and resume play: buildings and upgrades, virtual currencies, level and XP, missions, construction and maintenance timestamps, perks, map changes, settings, language, tutorial state, privacy choice, invite code, sharing reward history and purchase-delivery identifiers.
This information is stored locally and may be included in Android's device backup if enabled in your device or Google account settings. If you enable Google Play Games cloud saves, your city state, missions and map changes are also stored through Google Play Games and associated with your Play Games account.
Analytics
If analytics is enabled and you consent, Firebase Analytics may process app and device information and events such as opening the Game, building or upgrading a business, completing a mission or rewarded ad, and starting or completing a purchase. We use this to diagnose problems and improve the Game.
We do not intentionally send your name, email, contacts, message content or precise GPS location as custom analytics events.
Rewarded advertising
If you choose to watch a rewarded ad, Google AdMob may process identifiers, approximate location inferred from IP, device and app information, ad requests, impressions, interactions and reward completion. Whether advertising is personalised depends on your region, consent choices, device settings and Google's policies.
Google Play Games
If you sign in, Google may process your player identity and profile. The Game submits achievement progress and leaderboard values such as lifetime coins, player level and legacy/prestige progress. Leaderboard names and scores may be visible to other players according to your Play Games settings.
Purchases and reviews
Google Play processes payment and billing details. LoadingPix does not receive your full card or bank details. We may receive product IDs, purchase tokens, status and verification information needed to validate and deliver virtual items, prevent duplicates, provide support and address fraud.
The Game may ask Google Play to show its in-app review prompt. Google handles the review and associated account information. LoadingPix does not receive unpublished review text through the Game.
Sharing and invitations
When you share an invitation, the Game creates an invite code and opens the native sharing panel with a prepared message. The Game does not read your contacts and cannot verify the recipient or whether the message was sent. The app you select processes the shared content under its own policy.
Local notifications and support
With permission, the Game may schedule local device notifications when construction or maintenance finishes. The current version does not use Firebase Cloud Messaging for marketing push notifications.
If you contact us, we process your email, message, screenshots, device details or purchase reference as needed to reply and resolve the request.
3. Why we process information
- Contract: to provide the Game, save progress, deliver purchases and provide features you request.
- Consent: for optional analytics, advertising technologies and personalised advertising where required. You may withdraw consent in Game settings.
- Legitimate interests: to maintain security, prevent fraud, diagnose faults, provide support and improve the Game, subject to your rights.
- Legal obligations: for accounting, tax, consumer protection, disputes and valid legal requests.
4. Providers and disclosure
We do not sell your personal information. Information may be disclosed only as needed to operate a feature, comply with law, protect users and rights, investigate fraud, or complete a properly safeguarded business transfer.
Read the Google Privacy Policy, Firebase privacy documentation and Google advertising technologies information.
International transfers
Providers may process information outside Portugal or the EEA. Where required, transfers rely on an adequacy decision, standard contractual clauses or another lawful safeguard described by the relevant provider.
5. Retention
- Local progress remains until you clear app data or uninstall the Game; a device backup may persist until deleted through your Android or Google account controls.
- Cloud saves, achievements and leaderboards follow your Google account controls and Google's retention rules.
- Analytics and ad data follow the retention settings chosen by LoadingPix and the provider policies.
- Purchase and support records may be kept as needed for delivery, fraud prevention, disputes and legal, accounting or tax duties.
- Consent records are kept as needed to respect and demonstrate your choice.
We may retain aggregated or de-identified statistics that no longer identify you.
6. Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to processing, receive a portable copy and withdraw consent. Withdrawal does not affect processing that was lawful beforehand.
- Change optional privacy consent in Game settings.
- Manage notification permission in Android settings.
- Manage ad personalisation in My Ad Center.
- Manage your Play Games profile, visibility and data through Google.
- Clear local Game data or uninstall the Game.
- Contact LoadingPix to make a privacy request.
Because no LoadingPix account is required to play, we may need a Play Games player ID, purchase reference or other details to locate your information. We may verify a request before acting.
EEA residents may complain to their local supervisory authority. In Portugal this is the Comissão Nacional de Proteção de Dados (CNPD).
United States
Residents of certain US states may have rights to know, access, correct or delete personal information, obtain a portable copy and opt out of certain targeted advertising, sale or sharing. LoadingPix does not sell personal information for money. Some advertising disclosures may be considered "sharing" or "targeted advertising" under specific state laws. We will not discriminate against you for exercising an applicable right.
7. Children
The Game is intended for a general audience and is not specifically directed to children below the minimum age at which they can consent to data processing in their country. We do not knowingly ask children to provide a name, email, contacts or precise location through the Game. If you are not old enough to consent, use the Game only with permission from a parent or guardian.
If we learn that we processed a child's data without a required legal basis, we will take reasonable steps to delete or restrict it. A parent or guardian may contact us below.
8. Security, automated rules and policy changes
We use reasonable technical and organisational safeguards, but no storage or internet transmission is completely secure. Protect your device and Google account.
The Game automatically generates missions and calculates progress, rewards and in-game content. These gameplay decisions do not produce legal or similarly significant effects. Advertising providers may use automated systems as described in their policies and according to your choices.
We may update this policy when the Game, providers or laws change. We will change the date at the top and give a prominent notice where required. Material changes will not be applied retroactively where new consent is required.
