QuackSnark Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Pixel Pakka (“Pixel Pakka”, “we”, “us” or “our”) handles information in connection with the Android game QuackSnark. It applies to the game, its advertisements, its optional local reminder, and support communications sent to us.

1. Scope and developer identity

QuackSnark is developed and published by Pixel Pakka, an independent game studio based in Guwahati, Assam, India. This policy is available from the game and from the Google Play listing.

2. Information and data

2.1 Data stored locally on the device

QuackSnark may store the following game information locally:

• campaign progress, unlocked levels and maximum stage reached;
• current-run status and remaining hearts;
• scores, per-level best scores, total score and gameplay statistics;
• audio, display, vibration and other game settings;
• rewarded-ad counters required to enforce in-game limits;
• the optional daily-reminder preference and scheduling information; and
• technical migration values needed to keep local saves compatible after updates.

This local game data is not uploaded to a Pixel Pakka server because the current release does not use a Pixel Pakka cloud account or backend.

2.2 Information you choose to provide

When you email support, we receive the information you send, such as your email address, message, screenshots, device model, Android version and game version. Please do not send passwords, financial information, government identifiers or other unnecessary sensitive information.

2.3 Information QuackSnark does not request from Pixel Pakka

The current release does not ask you to create a Pixel Pakka account and does not request your name, phone number, contacts, photos, microphone, camera or precise location for gameplay.

3. Advertising and Google AdMob

QuackSnark uses Google AdMob to display banner advertisements and voluntary rewarded advertisements. The Google Mobile Ads SDK may automatically collect or share information such as:

• IP address, which may be used to estimate general location;
• app interactions and advertising interactions;
• diagnostic information, including crash or performance-related signals; and
• device or account identifiers, such as the Android advertising ID or app set ID, depending on device settings, consent, region and SDK configuration.

Google may use this information for advertising, ad measurement, analytics, security and fraud prevention. Depending on your region, consent choices, device settings and our advertising configuration, ads may be personalised, non-personalised or limited.

Learn more through Google’s Privacy Policy and Google’s advertising technologies information.

4. Optional daily notification

QuackSnark may offer an optional daily reminder around 9:00 AM local device time. This is a local Android notification scheduled on the device. Pixel Pakka does not use a remote push-notification server for this reminder.

• On Android versions that require permission, the game asks before posting notifications.
• You can disable the reminder inside QuackSnark or in Android notification settings.
• The scheduling preference is stored locally on the device.

5. How information is used

• save and restore gameplay progress on the device;
• operate scores, hearts, settings and rewarded-ad limits;
• show and measure advertisements;
• detect advertising fraud and protect the advertising ecosystem;
• schedule the optional local reminder;
• respond to support requests and troubleshoot reported problems; and
• meet legal, security and Google Play policy obligations.

6. Sharing and third parties

Pixel Pakka does not sell personal information. Information may be processed by service providers necessary to distribute or monetise the game, including Google Play and Google AdMob / Google Mobile Ads. Information may also be disclosed where reasonably necessary to comply with law, enforce our rights, investigate abuse, or protect players, Pixel Pakka or others.

7. Consent and privacy choices

• an in-game privacy or advertising-consent message;
• an in-game option to reopen privacy and ad choices where required;
• Android controls for advertising ID, ad privacy and notification permission;
• Google account advertising settings; and
• the ability to avoid rewarded ads by not selecting the voluntary reward option.

Withdrawing consent may change the type or availability of advertising, but it should not prevent access to the core game where consent is not legally required for that processing.

8. Retention

• Local game data remains on the device until reset, cleared, overwritten during normal game operation, or removed by uninstalling the game.
• Support emails may be retained as reasonably necessary to answer the request, maintain a resolution record, prevent abuse or comply with law.
• Data handled by Google is retained under Google’s own policies and settings.

9. Deleting game data

QuackSnark does not create a Pixel Pakka user account, so there is no remote account to delete. You can remove local data by using Reset Scores & Progress, clearing QuackSnark storage through Android Settings, or uninstalling QuackSnark.

Detailed instructions are available on the App Data and Deletion page. Pixel Pakka cannot remotely recover or delete information that exists only on your device.

10. Children’s privacy and intended audience

QuackSnark is intended for users aged 13 and older and is not specifically designed or directed to children under 13. Pixel Pakka does not knowingly request account registration or direct personal information from children through the game.

If a parent or guardian believes that a child has sent personal information to Pixel Pakka through support email, contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.

11. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures appropriate to the limited information we handle. No device storage, email system or internet transmission can be guaranteed completely secure.

12. International processing

Google and other platform providers may process information in countries outside your place of residence. Their handling is governed by their own privacy terms and applicable transfer safeguards.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy when QuackSnark’s features, SDKs, advertising practices or legal requirements change. The updated version will show a new effective date. Material changes may also be communicated through the game or Google Play listing where appropriate.
