Privacy Policy
1. About this policy
Gloamward (星火守夜人), bundle ID com.entrotech.emberwatch, is a single-player survival game. This policy describes the iOS game, its optional Apple in-app purchases and Google AdMob rewarded ads, and this support website. Operator: EntroTech Co., Ltd.. Privacy contact: ghostsgm@163.com.
2. Game progress on your device
The game stores progress, unlocked stages, upgrades, selected character looks, language, sound preferences, tutorial status and unfinished runs locally on your device. These records let you resume play and preserve settings. The current game does not require an account and does not upload these saves to a developer-operated game server. Device backups managed by Apple may retain app data according to your device settings.
3. Optional purchases
Apple processes purchases and payment details. Through StoreKit, the game checks product identifiers, transaction verification and purchase-entitlement status to grant, restore or revoke permanent benefits. We do not receive your full payment-card details or Apple Account password. Apple may retain purchase and transaction records under its own policies. Removing the game does not erase Apple purchase records or automatically request a refund.
4. Rewarded ads and Google services
The game uses Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK) for optional rewarded ads, such as reviving, claiming a settlement bonus or rerolling cards. Google may collect or process IP addresses (including approximate location inferred from them), device or app identifiers, ad impressions and interactions, crash logs, performance and other diagnostic information. These data support ad delivery and measurement, fraud prevention, security, analytics and service improvement. Collection and advertising behavior depend on SDK settings, region, permissions and privacy choices. The game does not request access to precise device location, contacts, photos, camera or microphone. Its current implementation does not request Apple tracking authorization or access IDFA through an ATT permission flow; other permitted identifiers and network data may still be processed.
5. Your advertising choices
The Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) handles applicable advertising privacy messages and choices. Where a choice is required, ads are requested only when the SDK reports they may be requested. You can use Settings → Ad privacy choices in the game to reopen privacy options when Google makes them available for your region. You can change or withdraw consent through those options; withdrawal does not invalidate earlier lawful processing. Declining consent may change ad availability or personalization. Watching rewarded ads is optional; declining an ad means its optional reward is not granted. The Quiet Watch Pass and Lighthouse Supporter purchase allow the covered reward claims without watching a video, subject to the same game limits; this does not erase records already held by Google or Apple.
6. Support and website visits
If you email us, we receive the address and information you choose to send, such as your message, device details or screenshots. We use them to answer requests, investigate problems and handle privacy inquiries. Please do not send passwords or complete payment details. This static website does not embed advertising, analytics scripts or third-party fonts and does not use cookies or browser storage. Its hosting provider may process ordinary connection and access information, such as IP address, requested URL, browser information and request time, to deliver and protect the website.
7. Service providers and international processing
Apple provides payment and platform services; Google provides advertising and consent services; the website and email providers process information needed to deliver those services. Their processing is also described in their privacy policies. Information may be processed outside your country, including where these providers operate. Applicable legal requirements and safeguards govern such processing. We may disclose information we hold where necessary to comply with law, protect users and services, or respond to a valid legal request. The current game does not include a separate developer-operated analytics or advertising-mediation SDK beyond the Google services described above.
8. Retention and deletion
Local saves remain until app data is removed or overwritten. On iOS, deleting the app normally removes its local data; offloading the app may retain it. Apple backups may contain separate copies. We do not have a server copy of your local save to delete or recover. Support correspondence is kept only as needed to resolve requests, meet applicable legal obligations and handle related disputes, then deleted or anonymized. Website logs follow the hosting configuration and provider policy. Google and Apple set retention periods for the records they process; see their policies below. Contact us about information we hold, and contact the relevant provider for records controlled by that provider.
9. Privacy requests and children
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal information, restrict or object to processing, request portability, withdraw consent, or complain to a data-protection authority. Send requests to ghostsgm@163.com; we may ask for information reasonably needed to verify and respond to your request within applicable legal time limits. A parent or guardian who believes a child has provided personal information to us can contact us for assistance. Please follow the age rating and parental controls for the game and obtain guardian permission for purchases where required. This policy does not override protections that apply to children.
10. Changes and contact
We will update this page when the game or its data practices change and revise the date below. Where required, we will provide additional notice or request consent before a material change takes effect. Operator: EntroTech Co., Ltd.. Contact: ghostsgm@163.com. Last updated: September 10, 2026.
