Privacy Policy for Knits Out

Effective date: 1 January 2025
Last updated: 9 September 2025

Welcome to Knits Out, a mobile game published by EL SAMIR (“we”, “us”, or “our”). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains what data we may collect, how we use it, and how you can control it. This policy is written to comply with Google Play Store requirements, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for EU/UK users, and other applicable laws.

Note: Depending on the version of Knits Out you install, some features or SDKs described in this policy may not be present. If certain SDKs are not integrated, no data is shared with them.

1. Information We Do Not Collect

You can play Knits Out without providing us directly identifiable personal data. We do not collect:

• Your name, email address, or phone number
• Your contacts, messages, or personal files
• Your photos, videos, or media
• Your precise GPS location

2. Information That May Be Collected Automatically

If external services are integrated, they may automatically collect certain data to ensure the game functions properly. This may include:

• Device information: model, operating system, language, time zone, screen resolution.
• Advertising ID (AAID): used for ads, analytics, and fraud prevention.
• Usage data: session duration, levels completed, and general gameplay activity.
• Crash and performance data: crash reports, diagnostics, and performance metrics to improve stability.
• Approximate location: inferred from anonymised IP address (never precise GPS).

3. How We Use This Information

We and our partners may use the above data for:

• Game functionality & improvements: fixing bugs, balancing gameplay, and improving user experience.
• Advertising: delivering personalised or non-personalised ads to keep the game free to play.
• Analytics: understanding how players interact with the game to guide updates.
• Security & fraud prevention: protecting against abuse, cheating, or fraudulent activity.

4. Legal Basis for Processing (EU/UK Users)

If you are located in the European Union, United Kingdom, or other regions with similar laws, we process your data under the following legal bases:

• Consent: for personalised ads and analytics where required by law. You can withdraw consent through your device settings.
• Legitimate interests: to maintain and improve the game, ensure security, and prevent fraud.
• Legal obligations: where processing is required to comply with applicable laws.

5. Third-Party Services (Optional)

Depending on the version of Knits Out, we may integrate the following trusted third-party SDKs:

• Google AdMob – for displaying ads.
• Google Firebase – for analytics and crash reporting.
• Unity Analytics – for aggregated gameplay insights.

These SDKs may or may not be active in your version. If they are not included, no data is collected or shared by them. We do not sell your data. When active, these partners only use data as needed to provide their services.

6. Your Choices & Rights

• Ads personalisation: disable personalised ads in Settings → Google → Ads → Opt out of Ads Personalisation.
• Reset ad ID: reset your Android Advertising ID anytime via device settings.
• Unity Analytics opt-out: email us with your AAID if you want to be excluded.
• Legal rights (EU/UK, Brazil, California, etc.): you may have rights to access, delete, or restrict data. Since we do not hold direct identifiers, these rights are exercised mainly through device settings.

7. Data Retention & Security

Crash and analytics data are typically retained for 30–90 days. Advertising data retention depends on our partners’ policies. We apply industry-standard safeguards such as HTTPS encryption to protect your data, but no system is 100% secure.

8. Children’s Privacy

Knits Out is not designed for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe we have unintentionally collected such information, please contact us so we can delete it.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date will always show the latest version. Continued use of the game after changes means you accept the updated policy.
