Privacy Policy — Cars for Minecraft
This Privacy Policy explains how GameChanger.Apps ("we", "us") handles information when you use the Android application Cars for Minecraft (the "App"). We do not ask you to create an account, and we do not ask for your name, email address, phone number or contacts.
- The App shows ads from Google AdMob. Ads may use your device's advertising ID; where the law requires it we ask for your consent first, and you can change your choice at any time.
- We use Google Firebase to understand app usage and to fix crashes.
- Our own servers deliver the App's content. They receive only the technical data that every internet request contains (such as your IP address), not identifiers of you or your device.
- We do not sell your personal information for money.
1. Who is responsible
The data controller is GameChanger.Apps, Ukraine. Contact: support@gamechangerapps.com.
2. Information we process and why
2.1 Requests to our servers
The App loads its catalog (lists, descriptions, images and files of add-ons) from our servers. When you tap "like", only the ID of the item is sent; your list of liked and downloaded items is stored on your device. When the App contacts our servers, the servers necessarily receive your IP address and standard technical request data (for example, the time of the request and the HTTP client identifier). The App does not send your advertising ID, device ID, name or any other identifier of you to our servers. We use this data only to deliver the content and to keep the service secure and working, and we do not use it to identify you.
2.2 Advertising (Google AdMob)
The App displays ads provided by Google AdMob (Google LLC / Google Ireland Limited). To show, limit and measure ads and to prevent fraud, Google may collect your device's advertising ID, IP address, approximate location derived from the IP address, device and app information, and information about your interactions with ads. Depending on your choices, ads may be personalized or non-personalized. Learn more in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
- European Economic Area, United Kingdom and Switzerland: before any ad is requested, the App shows Google's consent form (Google User Messaging Platform) and asks for your consent to personalized ads and related processing.
- United States: where state privacy laws give you the right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for targeted advertising, you can do so in the App under Privacy settings.
- You can change or withdraw your choice at any time in the App under Privacy settings (where shown), and you can reset or delete your advertising ID in your Android settings (Settings → Privacy → Ads, or Settings → Google → Ads).
2.3 Analytics and crash reports (Google Firebase)
We use Google Analytics for Firebase to understand how the App is used, for example the number of users and sessions, app opens and updates, session length, device model, operating system version, approximate country and an app-instance identifier. We do not attach your name or other directly identifying information to this data.
We use Firebase Crashlytics to receive crash reports: the error details, the state of the device at the time of the crash (model, OS version, free memory) and an installation identifier. We use them only to find and fix bugs.
We use Firebase Remote Config to update technical settings of the App (such as backup server addresses) without releasing a new version. It uses a Firebase installation identifier.
2.4 Purchases (Google Play Billing)
The App offers optional subscriptions that remove ads. Payments are processed entirely by Google Play. We never receive your card or payment details; the App only receives from Google Play whether you have an active subscription, and it keeps this status on your device.
2.5 Files on your device
Files you download are saved in the App's own storage on your device and are opened in Minecraft only when you choose to do so. The App does not access your photos, contacts, camera, microphone or location.
3. Legal bases (EEA, UK and Switzerland)
- Consent — personalized advertising and the related use of your advertising ID and device storage. You can withdraw consent at any time in Privacy settings.
- Performance of a contract — providing the App's features and any subscription you purchase.
- Legitimate interests — delivering content, non-personalized ads, usage analytics, crash reporting, security and fraud prevention. You may object to this processing by contacting us.
4. Who receives the information
- Google (AdMob, Firebase, Google Play) as described above, under Google's Privacy Policy.
- Our hosting and network providers that operate our servers, only to run them.
- Authorities, if we are legally required to disclose information.
We do not sell personal information for money. Under some US state laws, allowing advertising partners to use device identifiers for targeted ads may be treated as a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information; you can opt out as described in section 2.2.
5. International transfers
Our servers and our service providers, including Google, may process information outside your country, including in the United States and other countries outside the European Economic Area. Where required, such transfers rely on safeguards such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses used by Google.
6. How long we keep information
- Technical data received by our servers is kept only as long as needed to operate and protect the service.
- Analytics data and crash reports are kept according to Google Firebase retention settings (crash reports are deleted by Google after 90 days).
- Data stored on your device remains there until you delete it or uninstall the App.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example, under the GDPR or US state privacy laws), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of your personal information, to restrict or object to its processing, to withdraw consent and to opt out of targeted advertising. Because we do not know who you are, we usually cannot link data to you; Google provides tools to manage data collected by its services, and you can reset your advertising ID at any time. To exercise your rights, email support@gamechangerapps.com. We will not discriminate against you for exercising them. If you are in the EEA or UK, you may also complain to your local data protection authority.
8. Children
The App is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, contact us and we will help delete it.
9. Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy. The new version will be published at this address with a new effective date. Significant changes will also be announced in the App or on its Google Play page.
