Otter Dive Squad Privacy Policy

Effective: 30 October 2026 (what changed: account saving) · Previous version effective 11 October 2026 · Operator: GOORMGames · Contact: hello@goormgames.com

GOORMGames ("we") runs the mobile game Otter Dive Squad (the "Game"). The Game needs no account of ours (you may use Google Play Games or iCloud to carry your progress across devices), and we do not collect names, phone numbers or email addresses ourselves. The Game sells some items through in-app purchase; Google Play and the App Store handle the payment, so we never receive your card or other payment details.

Payment details: store account, payment method, amountPaying for itemsHandled directly by Google Play (Google LLC) and the App Store (Apple Inc.); we do not receive payment method details

2. Retention and deletion

Progress on your device is deleted when you uninstall the Game or tap Settings > Reset data. Purchase records on the device survive Reset data (for restoring purchases) and go when you uninstall. The account-save copy stays until you delete it, in the Play Games app settings (Android) or in Settings > Apple Account > iCloud > Manage Storage (iOS). Support emails are kept for one year after we answer them. Store order records are kept as Korean e-commerce law requires (payment, delivery and withdrawal records 5 years, complaint records 3 years). Google and Apple keep their data under their own policies.

3. Transfers abroad

Google LLC (AdMob, USA) receives the advertising ID, device model, OS, language, IP address and ad records over an encrypted connection whenever an ad loads or shows, to serve and measure ads and prevent fraud; retention follows https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your phone's settings (Android: Google > Ads; iOS: decline “Allow tracking” or turn it off in Settings > Privacy & Security > Tracking); the Game still works and shows non-personalised ads. Where the law requires consent for ads (for example the UK, Switzerland and the EEA), Google's consent form appears at first start, and you can change or withdraw your choice at any time in Settings > Privacy; personalised ads rely on your consent, non-personalised ads and fraud prevention on our legitimate interest. Cloudflare, Inc. (USA) hosts these web pages and processes your IP address and access log when you open them. Support emails to hello@goormgames.com pass through Cloudflare Email Routing to our Gmail (Google LLC) mailbox in the United States and are kept for one year after we answer; if you do not write to us, nothing is sent. When you buy an item, Google LLC (Google Play) or Apple Inc. (App Store) in the United States processes your store account, payment method, item, order number, amount and time to take the payment and handle refunds, under https://policies.google.com/privacy or https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/; nothing is processed if you do not buy. The in-game purchase module (Unity IAP) may send Unity Technologies (USA) the device model and OS, installation and session identifiers, country, app version, transaction details (item, order number) and error information to run the module, confirm purchases and check that it works (https://unity.com/legal/privacy-policy). For account saving, Google LLC (Google Play Games, USA) stores your Play Games player ID and a copy of your progress when the Game starts, every few minutes and when it goes to the background, and Apple Inc. (iCloud, USA) syncs a copy of your progress when the Game saves; both are kept until you delete them, and if you sign out of Play Games or turn off iCloud for the Game, your progress stays on the device only. We do not sell or give your data to anyone else.

4. Children

The Game is not directed at children under 14 (under 13 where local law sets that age) and we do not knowingly collect their data. We request ads rated T (Teen) or lower, and delete any child's data we learn of.

5. Your rights

You may ask to see, correct, delete or stop the processing of your data at any time. Progress on your device can be removed with Settings > Reset data or by uninstalling; for anything else write to hello@goormgames.com and we will answer within 10 days. Residents of the EEA, the UK and California have the rights their laws give them, which you can use the same way.

California and other US states: we do not sell personal information. Ads shown through Google AdMob may use your advertising ID for personalised ads, which some state laws call "sharing"; you can opt out by turning off tracking (iOS) or deleting your advertising ID (Android). We do not knowingly collect data from children under 13 (COPPA).
