PRIVACY POLICY

1. Overview

RM Application and Web Services (“we,” “our,” or “us”) publishes Blood Barrio: Aswang Hunt (the “Game”). This Privacy Policy explains what information is processed when you play the Game, including its online multiplayer modes, how it is used, who it is shared with, and the choices you have.

The Game does not require you to create an account. It does not ask for your real name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, or precise (GPS) location.

2. Summary

3. Information We Process

a) Information stored on your device

Your game progress and settings are saved locally on your device. This includes your hunter level, silver, unlocked hunters, weapons and outfits, story chapter stars, crafting materials, control layout, language, and the in-game nickname you use for multiplayer. This data is not uploaded to our own servers. It is removed when you clear the app's data or uninstall the Game.

b) Information processed when you play online

• Anonymous player ID created by Unity Authentication (no email or password).
• IP address and network connection information needed to connect your phone to other players.
• Room codes you create or enter to join a game.
• Gameplay data exchanged with the other players in your match while it is in progress: your in-game nickname, chosen hunter and outfit, weapon, position and movement, actions, health, and match results.

c) Information processed by advertising

Google AdMob may collect the following:

• your device's advertising ID;
• your IP address and approximate location;
• device and app information (model, operating system, language, app version);
• ad interactions, such as ads viewed or clicked.

Google uses this to deliver, measure and limit ads, and to prevent fraud.

d) Information processed for purchases

When you buy an item, Google Play processes the payment. We receive only the purchase confirmation (product ID, order/transaction token, and purchase status) so the item can be delivered and restored.

e) Technical and diagnostic information

Our service providers may process limited technical information to keep the Game and its online features working and secure. This includes device type, operating system version, app version, crash and performance logs, and network quality.

f) Information you send us

If you contact us by email, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include, so that we can reply.

4. Approximate Location

The Game does not request the device location permission and does not collect precise (GPS) location. However, an approximate location (for example your country, region or city) may be derived from your IP address:

• by Unity Gaming Services (Relay), to connect you to a nearby multiplayer server so the game runs smoothly; and
• by Google AdMob, to show ads relevant to your region, comply with local laws (for example consent requirements), measure ads, and prevent fraud.

Approximate location is not used to identify you personally, and we do not store it on our own servers.

5. Online Multiplayer

Blood Barrio offers online Co-op and PvP “Aswang Hunt” modes, and local Wi-Fi (LAN) play.

• Online play uses Unity Authentication (anonymous sign-in), Unity Lobby (room codes) and Unity Relay (game traffic). Your connection passes through Unity's servers, which see your IP address and anonymous player ID.
• Other players in your match can see your in-game nickname, hunter, outfit, and what you do in the match. Please do not use your real full name or any personal information as your nickname.
• Local Wi-Fi play finds nearby games on the same Wi-Fi network. Your device's local network address is visible to other devices in that game.
• The Game has no text or voice chat, and players cannot send each other messages, files, or links.
• Match data is used only while the match is running. We do not keep match histories on our own servers.

6. Advertising

The Game is free to play and is supported by ads served by Google AdMob. These include optional rewarded ads that you choose to watch for in-game rewards.

• In regions where consent is required (such as the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland), the Game shows a consent form provided by Google (User Messaging Platform) before personalized ads are shown. You can change your choice at any time with the PRIVACY button in the Game's Settings, which appears where this choice applies.
• You can reset your advertising ID or opt out of personalized ads in your Android settings. Depending on your device, this is under Settings → Google → Ads or Settings → Privacy → Ads.
• Learn how Google uses data: How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

7. In-App Purchases

The Game offers optional in-app purchases, such as silver packs, bundles and special weapons. These go through Google Play Billing, using Unity In-App Purchasing. Payment information is handled entirely by Google under the Google Payments Privacy Notice. We do not receive or store your card, bank or billing details.

8. How We Use Information

• To run the Game and its online multiplayer features (connecting you to rooms and other players).
• To deliver purchased items and restore non-consumable purchases.
• To show, measure and limit ads, and to offer rewarded ads.
• To prevent fraud, cheating, abuse and security problems.
• To diagnose crashes and improve performance and gameplay.
• To answer your questions and requests.
• To comply with legal obligations.

9. How Information Is Shared

• Service providers that run parts of the Game for us: Unity Technologies (online multiplayer and in-app purchasing) and Google (ads and payments), as described in this policy.
• Other players in your match, who see your nickname and gameplay as described in Section 5.
• Legal reasons: if required by law, or to protect the rights, safety and security of our users, the public, or us.
• Business transfers: if the Game is transferred to another publisher, this information may transfer with it under this policy.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for purposes other than those listed here.

10. Third-Party Services

These services process information under their own privacy policies:

• Google Play Services & Google Play Billing: Google Privacy Policy
• Google AdMob and Google User Messaging Platform: Google Privacy Policy · AdMob & privacy
• Unity Gaming Services (Authentication, Lobby, Relay) and Unity In-App Purchasing: Unity Privacy Policy

11. Device Permissions

The Game asks Android only for these permissions, none of which show a pop-up:

• Internet and network state: for online multiplayer, ads and purchases.
• Wi-Fi state and Wi-Fi multicast: to find and join local Wi-Fi games.

The Game does not ask for location, camera, microphone, contacts, phone, SMS, or file/photo permissions.

12. Data Retention

• Progress on your device: kept until you clear the app's data or uninstall the Game.
• Multiplayer data: room and connection data exists only while the room and match are active. Unity may keep the anonymous player ID and related service logs for a limited time under its own policy.
• Advertising and purchase data: kept by Google under its own policies. Purchase records are needed to restore items you bought.
• Emails you send us: kept only as long as needed to answer you, keep business records, resolve disputes or comply with the law.

13. Your Choices, Rights & Data Deletion

• Delete your game data: uninstall the Game, or go to Android Settings → Apps → Blood Barrio → Storage → Clear data. This erases your local progress and your anonymous player ID on the device.
• Ask us to delete data: email thecircuitstudio@gmail.com with the subject “Blood Barrio data deletion request.” We will delete any data under our control. Where possible, we will also ask our providers (such as Unity) to delete data linked to your anonymous player ID. We reply within 30 days.
• Ads: change your ad consent with the PRIVACY button in the Game's Settings (where available), or reset or opt out of the advertising ID in Android settings.
• Avoid online data processing: play the single-player modes (Classic, Story, Village Defense) instead of online multiplayer.
• Your legal rights: depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or object to the processing of your personal information. Examples of such laws are the Philippine Data Privacy Act of 2012, the GDPR, and US state privacy laws. You may also file a complaint with your data protection authority; in the Philippines, this is the National Privacy Commission.

14. Children's Privacy

Blood Barrio is a horror action game and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the Game, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

15. Security

Online multiplayer traffic is carried through Unity's Relay service over encrypted (DTLS) connections, and purchases are handled by Google Play. We use reasonable measures to protect information under our control, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

16. International Data Transfers

Our service providers (Google and Unity) may process information on servers in countries other than yours, including the United States. They use the safeguards required by law for these transfers.

17. Changes to This Policy

We will update this Privacy Policy when the Game, its features, its service providers, or legal requirements change. The effective date at the top of this page will change. Important changes may also be announced in the Game or its store listing.
