2. Scope — What This Policy Applies To

This policy applies to:

  • Mobile apps, including but not limited to:
    • V2Games Run (Google Play: com.Jaynstar.V2GamesRun)
    • Other current and future Jaynstar / V2Games Android apps

Not every section applies to every app. Each app only collects data needed for its features. App-specific behavior is described in Section 4 and in each app’s Google Play Data safety section.

3. Information We Collect

A. Information you provide directly

We may collect information you choose to give us, such as:

When you visit jaynstar.com, we or our service providers may collect:

  • IP address, browser type, device type, operating system
  • Pages viewed, referring URLs, date/time of visit
  • Cookies and similar technologies (see Section 8)

If we use analytics (e.g. Google Analytics), it helps us understand traffic and improve the site. Analytics data is generally aggregated and does not directly identify you unless combined with other data.

C. Information collected automatically — Mobile apps

Depending on the app and features enabled, we or third-party partners (such as Google AdMob) may collect:

V2Games Run (current):
The game stores last score and best score on your device for gameplay. If AdMob is enabled, Google may collect advertising and device data as described in Section 5.

D. Information we do not intentionally collect

We do not intentionally collect:

  • Precise GPS location (unless a specific app requests location permission and discloses it separately)
  • Contacts, photos, microphone, or SMS (unless a specific app requests those permissions and explains why)
  • Government ID, payment card numbers, or health data through our casual games

If an app requests sensitive permissions, the app’s store listing and in-app notice will explain why.

We use information to:

  1. Operate, maintain, and improve our website and apps
  2. Provide gameplay features (e.g. saving scores)
  3. Respond to support requests
  4. Show advertisements (where AdMob or similar services are used)
  5. Measure ad and app performance
  6. Detect fraud, abuse, and security issues

We do not sell your personal information.

5. Advertising — Google AdMob

Some of our apps may display ads through Google AdMob (Google LLC).

When AdMob is used, Google may collect and process data including:

  • Android Advertising ID (AAID)
  • IP address (approximate location)

  • App interactions and ad interactions (impressions, clicks)
  • Diagnostic and performance data related to ads

This data may be used to:

  • Serve and measure ads
  • Provide personalized ads (based on your interests and app usage) where permitted by law
  • Provide non-personalized ads where required or where you opt out of personalization

Google’s policies and controls

Consent (EEA, UK, Switzerland)
Where required by law, we will request your consent before personalized advertising or use a Google-certified consent solution (e.g. User Messaging Platform / UMP SDK).

Children
Our apps may be rated for general audiences. We do not knowingly serve personalized ads to children where prohibited by law (including COPPA in the US and applicable child privacy laws). If an app is directed at children, we will configure ads and data collection accordingly.

6. Third-Party Services

We may use third parties that process data on our behalf, including:

Service Purpose Provider
Google AdMob In-app advertising Google LLC
Google Play Services App distribution, updates, billing (if used) Google LLC
Google Analytics (if enabled on website) Website analytics Google LLC
Hosting / email Website hosting, email delivery Hostinger and related providers

These providers are bound by their own privacy policies. We share only what is necessary for them to provide their services.

We do not sell personal information to third parties.

7. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR — EEA/UK users)

If you are in the European Economic Area or United Kingdom, we process personal data based on:

  • Consent — e.g. personalized ads, non-essential cookies
  • Legitimate interests — security, analytics, improving services (balanced against your rights)
  • Contract — responding to support requests you initiate
  • Legal obligation — where required by law

You may withdraw consent at any time where processing is consent-based (this does not affect prior lawful processing).

8. Cookies and Similar Technologies (Website)

jaynstar.com may use cookies and similar technologies for:

  • Essential site operation
  • Analytics (if enabled)
  • Remembering preferences

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking cookies may affect site functionality.

If we add a cookie banner for EU/UK visitors, you will be able to accept or reject non-essential cookies.

9. Data Retention

We retain information only as long as needed for the purposes in this policy, unless a longer period is required by law.

  • Support emails: typically up to 2 years
  • Analytics / ad data: per Google and our provider retention settings
  • Local game data (scores): stored on your device until you clear app data or uninstall

You may request deletion of personal data we hold (see Section 12).

10. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, including secure hosting and limited access to personal data. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

11. International Data Transfers

Our service providers (including Google) may process data in countries outside Australia, including the United States. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or provider certifications.

12. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

  • Access personal information we hold about you
  • Correct inaccurate information
  • Delete your personal information
  • Object to or restrict certain processing
  • Withdraw consent (where applicable)
  • Opt out of personalized advertising (see Section 5)
  • Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (EU/UK) or the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) in Australia

California residents (CCPA/CPRA): We do not sell personal information. You may request access to or deletion of personal information we collect. Contact help@jaynstar.com.

13. Children’s Privacy

Our apps and website are not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in some jurisdictions) to collect personal information without parental consent.

If you believe a child has provided personal information without consent, contact us at help@jaynstar.com and we will take steps to delete it.

Apps rated “Everyone” on Google Play may still be used by children; where AdMob is used, we configure ad serving in line with Google Play Families Policy and applicable child privacy laws.

14. Google Play — Data Safety Alignment

For each app on Google Play, our Data safety form reflects:

  • What data is collected (including by third parties like AdMob)
  • Whether data is shared
  • Whether collection is optional or required
  • Purposes: advertising, analytics, app functionality, etc.

Important: If you currently declare “No data collected” for V2Games Run in Play Console, you must update the Data safety section before or when you add AdMob.

Typical AdMob declarations for a casual game:

  • Collected: Device or other IDs, App activity, Diagnostics (often by third party — Google)
  • Purpose: Advertising or marketing, Analytics
  • Shared: Yes, with Google (AdMob)
  • Optional: Advertising ID may be limited if user opts out of ad personalization

15. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last Updated” date at the top will change. Material changes may be notified on our website or in-app where appropriate. Continued use after changes means you accept the updated policy.
