Privacy Policy

1. Introduction and Scope of Policy

Welcome to Pistol Duel: Recoil Clash ("the Game", "the Application", or "our Service"), developed, owned, and published by Neurostack Technologies ("Neurostack", "we", "us", or "our").

Neurostack Technologies is committed to safeguarding the privacy, personal autonomy, and digital security of all players who access and enjoy our mobile games. This Privacy Policy outlines our transparent data practices, detailing the categories of information we collect, the operational purposes behind such collection, how telemetry and device parameters are processed, and the legal rights available to you under applicable data privacy frameworks, including the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CCPA/CPRA), and the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

By downloading, installing, launching, or playing Pistol Duel: Recoil Clash from the Google Play Store or any authorized distribution channel, you acknowledge that you have read, comprehended, and agreed to the operational principles outlined in this document. If you do not agree with any aspect of this Privacy Policy, please discontinue using the Game and uninstall the application from your device.

2. Principles of Data Minimization

At Neurostack Technologies, we design our mobile games with an architectural philosophy centered on data minimization and player privacy. Unlike conventional free-to-play titles that demand account creation, identity authentication, or social network linking, Pistol Duel: Recoil Clash is engineered to function autonomously:

• No Personal Identifiable Information (PII) Required: You do not need to provide your real name, physical address, national identity number, phone number, or email address in order to download or play the game.
• No Compulsory Cloud Account Registration: All weapon collections, earned gold coins, duel victory statistics, career milestones, and customization settings are recorded directly to your device's local sandboxed storage.
• No Location Tracking: The Game does not request, access, monitor, or transmit precise GPS location coordinates or real-time geolocation telemetry.
• No Sensitive Hardware Access: The Game never requests access to your device microphone, camera, contacts list, personal photo gallery, or SMS message records.

3. Information We Collect Automatically

When you launch and interact with Pistol Duel: Recoil Clash, certain non-identifying technical data and device telemetry may be collected automatically by our game framework and certified third-party service partners to deliver smooth 60 FPS gameplay and diagnostic stability:

A. Technical Hardware & System Telemetry

• Device model, manufacturer, and hardware platform (e.g., Samsung Galaxy, Xiaomi, Google Pixel).
• Operating system version (e.g., Android 11, 12, 13, 14, 15).
• Screen resolution, physical display density, and GPU graphics rendering capabilities.
• Device language and general country-level regional locale (derived from OS configuration, not GPS).
• Battery status, memory utilization benchmarks, and frame rate metrics to prevent overheating and maintain 60 FPS performance.

B. Anonymous Gameplay Metrics

• Game session duration, duels played, victories, defeats, and accuracy rates.
• Weapon selection frequency and difficulty setting preferences (Casual Slow, Balanced, Pro).
• Crash logs, stack traces, and unhandled exception diagnostic reports to identify and remediate code errors in subsequent updates.

C. Advertising & Diagnostic Identifiers

Depending on your device configuration and operating system permissions, certified advertising and telemetry networks may access resetable advertising identifiers such as the Google Advertising ID (GAID). You have complete control over this identifier through your Android device settings (Settings > Google > Ads > Reset Advertising ID or Delete Advertising ID).

4. Third-Party Service Providers and Ad Networks

To support ongoing game development, server infrastructure, and game maintenance, Pistol Duel: Recoil Clash integrates select industry-standard third-party SDKs that process technical data under strict contractual confidentiality standards:

A. Google AdMob (Mobile Advertising)

We utilize Google AdMob to deliver opt-in rewarded video advertisements (e.g., bonus coin rewards upon match conclusion) and occasional interstitial advertisements. AdMob may process device identifiers, IP addresses (for coarse country geolocation), and ad interaction telemetry in compliance with Google's Privacy Policies. You may opt out of personalized advertisements directly through your mobile device settings or through the in-game consent management dialog.

Review Google's Privacy Policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

B. Google Play Services & Google Play In-App Billing

Google Play Services provides core system functionality, achievements, and secure billing infrastructure for optional in-app purchases (such as coin bundles). All monetary transactions are processed directly by Google LLC through the Google Play Store billing gateway. Neurostack Technologies does not receive, store, or process your credit card numbers, bank account numbers, or billing addresses.

5. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) Compliance

Neurostack Technologies strictly adheres to the regulations established by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and global child digital safety regulations.

• No Intentional Collection of Child Data: Pistol Duel: Recoil Clash is designed as a general-audience physics arcade game. We do not knowingly solicit, collect, or process personal identifying information from children under the age of 13 (or under the age of 16 in applicable European jurisdictions).
• Neutral Age Verification & Non-Personalized Ads: In territories where age criteria apply, our advertising partners are instructed to deliver non-targeted, contextual advertisements that do not employ behavioral profiling or tracking cookies.
• Parental Inquiries: If a parent or legal guardian discovers that their child has provided personal information to us without appropriate consent, please contact us immediately at pistolduel@neurostackos.com. Upon notification, we will expeditiously take all necessary measures to permanently purge such data from our records.

6. Local Data Storage & Offline Security

Pistol Duel: Recoil Clash prioritizes player sovereignty over personal game data. Your in-game economic progress—including coins, unlocked firearms, customized skin cosmetics, bounty completion tallies, and difficulty choices—is stored locally on your device using Android's encrypted sandboxed storage (SharedPreferences / SQLite).

Because this game progress resides on your physical smartphone:

• You can play the entirety of the Game in offline airplane mode without transmitting data packets over external networks.
• Clearing the app cache/data via your Android device settings or uninstalling the application will reset your local offline game save.
• Neurostack Technologies cannot recover locally stored game progress if an uninstalled app is not backed up via your Google account backup mechanism.

7. GDPR Rights for European Economic Area (EEA) & UK Users

If you reside within the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you are endowed with distinct legal rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

1. Right to Access: You possess the right to request verification of whether your personal telemetry is processed and to obtain a copy of such data.
2. Right to Rectification: You may request the correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal records.
3. Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): You have the right to request the permanent deletion of any personal data associated with your device.
4. Right to Restriction of Processing: You may request that we limit the processing of your data under specific statutory circumstances.
5. Right to Data Portability: You may request to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly utilized, machine-readable format.
6. Right to Withdraw Consent: Where data processing is founded on your affirmative consent (e.g., personalized advertising cookies), you may revoke your consent at any time without negative consequence.

To exercise any of your GDPR rights, please submit a written request to our dedicated privacy contact at pistolduel@neurostackos.com with the subject header "GDPR Data Request". We will evaluate and fulfill your request within thirty (30) days without undue delay.

8. California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA & CPRA) Notice

Pursuant to the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), California residents are provided with explicit guarantees regarding their personal data:

• No Sale of Personal Information: Neurostack Technologies DOES NOT SELL, rent, trade, or monetize your personal information or gameplay telemetry to data brokers or commercial third parties for financial consideration.
• Right to Know & Access: You may request disclosures concerning the specific categories of personal information collected, the sources of collection, and the commercial rationale for processing over the preceding 12 months.
• Right to Opt-Out of Cross-Context Behavioral Advertising: You may restrict the sharing of device identifiers for targeted advertising by disabling personalized advertising within your mobile device settings.
• Non-Discrimination: Neurostack Technologies will never discriminate against you, deny access to the game, alter weapon balance, or levy penalty fees because you elected to exercise your statutory rights under the CCPA/CPRA.

9. Data Retention and Security Architecture

We employ industry-standard administrative, physical, and technical safeguards designed to preserve data integrity, deter unauthorized access, and guard against accidental disclosure.

Any diagnostic crash logs or anonymous aggregated analytics retained by Neurostack Technologies or our telemetry providers are subject to strict automated retention cycles (typically 30 to 90 days), after which they are permanently deleted or irreversibly anonymized. All network communication between the Game and ad servers occurs via encrypted Transport Layer Security (TLS/HTTPS) protocols.

10. User Data Deletion Request Process

Because Pistol Duel: Recoil Clash does not require account registration, you can instantly erase all local game data, unlocked firearms, coin balances, and device records simply by performing either of the following actions:

• Navigate to your Android device Settings > Apps > Pistol Duel > Storage > Clear Data.
• Uninstall the application from your device, which automatically instructs the operating system to delete the local application sandbox.

If you wish to ensure that any associated Google Advertising ID entries or diagnostic crash reports held by our third-party infrastructure are purged, please email your device advertising identifier to pistolduel@neurostackos.com with the subject "Data Erasure Request".

11. Revisions and Updates to This Policy

Neurostack Technologies reserves the right to modify, amend, or update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect technological advancements, updates to Google Play Developer Program Policies, new game mechanics, or modifications to statutory legal mandates.

When updates occur, we will revise the "Effective Date" prominently displayed at the top of this document. We encourage players to review this page periodically at https://pistolduel.neurostackos.com/privacy to stay informed regarding our data protection safeguards.
