Important: Fractured Cosmos is an offline mobile game without player accounts, multiplayer, online leaderboards, cloud saves or online score submission. Game progress is stored locally on the player's device. The game does contain non-personalised advertising supplied through Unity Ads.
1. Who we are
Penguin Game Design is an independent game studio based in the Netherlands and the developer of Fractured Cosmos. For personal data that we directly receive, Penguin Game Design is the data controller.
2. Scope of this Policy
This Policy applies to Fractured Cosmos, this website, the website contact form and direct support emails. App stores, Unity Ads and other third-party services have their own privacy policies and are responsible for their own independent processing.
3. Information in Fractured Cosmos
Penguin Game Design does not require a player account and does not directly collect or store a player's name, email address, contacts, precise location, online scores, multiplayer activity or cloud-save data through Fractured Cosmos.
Progress, settings and other save information are stored locally on the player's device. Penguin Game Design does not receive that local save data merely because the game stores it on the device. Removing the game, clearing app storage or changing devices may permanently remove local progress.
The game does not provide multiplayer, public profiles, chat, online leaderboards or online score submission.
4. Unity Ads and non-personalised advertising
Fractured Cosmos uses Unity Ads, an advertising service provided by Unity Technologies. We intend to configure advertisements as non-personalised or contextual, so they are not selected from a profile of a player's past browsing or app behaviour.
Unity Ads may automatically process limited technical information needed to request and display advertisements, limit how often an advertisement is shown, measure advertising performance, detect fraud or abuse, maintain security and record privacy choices. Depending on the device, region, SDK configuration and permissions, this may include:
- IP address and approximate location derived from it;
- device, operating-system, app-version and language information;
- an advertising or device identifier where available and legally permitted;
- advertisement views, taps, impressions and interactions;
- app diagnostics, security and fraud-prevention information; and
- consent or privacy-setting information.
Unity states that its advertising SDK can collect page views and taps during the advertising experience itself. Penguin Game Design does not use Unity Ads data to create its own personalised advertising profiles. We may receive aggregated advertising reports that do not directly identify individual players.
Unity may act independently for some of its processing. You can read the Unity Game Player and App User Privacy Policy for more information about Unity's data practices and privacy rights.
Store disclosure: the Google Play Data safety declaration and any Apple App Privacy answers must match the exact Unity Ads SDK version, settings and other SDKs included in the released build.
5. Website and contact information
5.1 Contact form and email
When you contact us, we process the information you choose to provide, normally your name, email address, message and later correspondence. We use this information only to receive and answer your enquiry and to keep reasonable business or support records.
5.2 Technical website data
Website hosting and security providers may automatically process limited technical information needed to deliver and protect the website, such as an IP address, browser and device type, requested pages, timestamps and security logs. This website does not deliberately use behavioural advertising or marketing trackers.
6. App stores
When you download or update Fractured Cosmos through an app store, the store operator may process information connected to your store account, device, download, payment history or use of the store. Penguin Game Design does not control that independent processing. The store operator's own terms and privacy policy apply.
7. Purposes and legal bases
Where we directly process personal data, we do so only for a valid purpose, including:
- answering contact, support or collaboration enquiries;
- operating, securing and maintaining the website;
- delivering and supporting the game;
- showing non-personalised advertisements and measuring their aggregated performance;
- preventing fraud, abuse or security incidents;
- complying with legal obligations; and
- establishing, exercising or defending legal claims.
Depending on the situation, the legal basis may be performance of a contract or requested pre-contractual steps, our legitimate interests in communication, security and business administration, compliance with law, or consent where legally required.
9. How long information is kept
- Penguin Game Design does not retain local game-save data because it is not sent to us.
- Contact messages and related correspondence are normally kept for up to 24 months after the last meaningful interaction, unless a longer period is reasonably needed for an agreement, dispute or legal duty.
- Advertising, store, hosting and security providers apply their own retention periods to information processed by them.
10. Your privacy rights
Subject to applicable law, you may have the right to request access, correction, deletion, restriction or portability of personal data that we hold about you, or to object to certain processing. Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent without affecting earlier lawful processing.
Send requests to Info@Penguingamedesign.com. We may need enough information to verify your identity and understand the request. You may also complain to the Dutch Data Protection Authority or another competent supervisory authority.
11. Children's privacy
Fractured Cosmos does not provide accounts, chat, public profiles or online score submission, and Penguin Game Design does not knowingly request personal information from children through the game. Advertising and store providers may still process limited technical information as described above.
If you believe a child has sent personal information to us through the website or by email, contact us so that we can review and, where appropriate, delete it.
12. Security
We use reasonable organisational and technical measures appropriate to the limited information we directly process. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
13. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Policy when the game, website, advertising provider, app-store requirements, technology or law changes. The revised page will show a new update date and version number.
