1. Who we are
SATÉLITE DE ESTÓRIAS, LDA, trading as Satel Stories, develops and publishes mobile games. This policy explains how information is handled in our iOS games unless a specific game page says otherwise.
Questions about privacy can be sent to welcome@satelstories.com.
2. Information stored on your device
Our games may store progress, scores, settings, and other gameplay state locally on your device. Unless a game offers an account or cloud save feature, this data is not uploaded to a Satel Stories backend. Removing the app normally removes this local data.
3. Information processed by service providers
Depending on the game, we may use the services below. Each game uses only the providers needed for that product.
Firebase Analytics
We use Google Firebase Analytics to understand app launches, screens viewed, gameplay events, scores, progression, settings changes, and general engagement. Firebase may also process an app-instance identifier, approximate region, and device and app information.
Firebase Crashlytics
We use Firebase Crashlytics in non-debug builds to diagnose crashes and stability problems. It may process crash traces, diagnostic information, device and app details, Firebase installation identifiers, and Crashlytics installation identifiers.
Google AdMob
Some games offer optional advertisements, such as rewarded videos. Where ads are available, Google Mobile Ads may process IP address and approximate location, device or advertising identifiers where permitted, ads viewed, interactions with ads, diagnostic information, and performance data. Rewards are granted only after the ad provider reports completion.
We do not require your name, email address, contacts, precise location, photos, or a player account to play our games.
4. Why information is used
Information is used to operate our games, remember local progress, measure gameplay and feature performance, fix crashes, prevent advertising abuse, display and measure optional ads where offered, and comply with legal obligations.
5. Consent and advertising choices
Where required, games that show ads ask for advertising consent using Google's User Messaging Platform before requesting ads. When a privacy-options entry point is required, it is available from in-game settings so you can revisit your choice.
If a future build requests permission to track activity across other companies' apps or websites, iOS will display Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. You can change tracking permission later in iOS Settings. Rewarded ads remain optional where they are offered.
6. Sharing
We share information with Google only as needed to provide Firebase Analytics, Firebase Crashlytics, and AdMob in games that use those services. Satel Stories does not directly sell personal information. Advertising partners may process information under their own terms and privacy policies.
7. Retention
Local game data remains on your device until it is reset or the app is removed. Third-party service data is retained according to our configured retention settings and Google's applicable policies. Firebase states that Crashlytics crash traces and associated installation identifiers are retained for 90 days before removal from live and backup systems begins.
8. Children
Our games are general-audience products and are not specifically directed to children below the minimum age required to consent to data processing in their country. We do not knowingly ask children to provide personal contact information.
9. International processing
Google may process information in countries other than your own. Those transfers are handled under Google's data-protection terms and applicable transfer mechanisms.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our games, service providers, or legal requirements change. The effective date above will be updated when changes are published.
11. Third-party information
More information is available in Google's Privacy Policy and Firebase Privacy and Security documentation.
12. App-specific notes
Dumpling Merger
Dumpling Merger stores progress, scores, discovered dumplings, settings, power-up state, and cooldown times locally on your device. The game has no player account and does not upload saved game data to a Satel Stories backend. It offers optional rewarded advertisements that can skip a power-up cooldown.
