Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 3, 2025

Birdtek Games LLC (“Birdtek Games”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) develops and publishes video games, including Runaway Sleigh 84, Checkout Blitz: The Shopping Dead, and other titles on mobile and console platforms. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you play our games or use our related services.

1. Information We Collect

The specific information we collect can vary by game, platform, and your device settings, but may include:

1.1 Information You Provide

Profile or username: If a game allows you to enter a display name or username for leaderboards or high-score tables.
Support communications: Any information you send us directly (for example, by email when requesting support).

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

When you play our games, certain information may be collected automatically by us or our service providers:

Device and technical data: Such as device model, operating system version, language, screen resolution, and basic hardware information.
Identifiers: Such as device identifiers and advertising identifiers (for example, Google Advertising ID) used for analytics and advertising purposes.
Usage and gameplay data: Such as levels completed, scores, in-game events, session duration, and general interaction with game menus and features.
Diagnostics and crash data: Such as performance metrics, error reports, and crash logs to help us find and fix bugs.
Network information: Such as IP address and basic connection information, mainly used for security, analytics, and ensuring services function correctly.

1.3 Information from Platform Providers

When you install or play our games through a platform (for example, Google Play, Steam, Atari VCS, or other stores), the platform may provide us with limited information such as anonymized analytics, achievement data, or your platform username for leaderboard display. We do not receive your payment card details from these platforms.

We do not intentionally collect sensitive categories of personal information (such as government IDs, health data, or precise geolocation).

2. How We Use Information

We use the information described above for the following purposes:

To operate and improve our games: Run core game features, save progress, balance gameplay, and fix bugs.
Analytics: Understand how players interact with our games so we can improve difficulty, performance, and features.
Advertising (in ad-supported games): Show ads, limit how often you see the same ad, and measure ad performance.
Leaderboards and social features: Display scores, rankings, and achievements associated with your chosen username or platform ID.
Security and integrity: Detect and prevent cheating, abuse, or technical issues.
Customer support: Respond to questions, bug reports, and data/privacy requests you send us.

We do not sell your personal data.

3. Third-Party Services and Data Sharing

We may share limited information with third-party service providers who help us operate and improve our games. These providers use the data only on our behalf and according to their own privacy policies. Depending on the game and platform, these may include:

Analytics and crash reporting services (for example, platform analytics or engine analytics): to collect aggregated usage statistics and crash logs.
Advertising networks (for example, mobile ad networks): to display ads in our free games, cap ad frequency, and measure performance.
Platform and leaderboard services (for example, store or console services that provide leaderboards, achievements, or cloud saves).

These third parties may collect or receive:

Device and technical information
Advertising identifiers and other device identifiers
Approximate location (derived from IP address)
Usage, gameplay, and diagnostics data

We may also disclose information if required by law, to respond to legal requests, or to protect our rights, users, or the public.

4. Advertising and Your Choices

Some of our games are supported by advertising. In those games, we and our advertising partners may use advertising identifiers and usage data to show ads and to measure their performance.

You can typically control advertising preferences using your device settings, for example:

On Android: “Settings” > “Privacy” or “Google” > “Ads” > options such as “Delete advertising ID” or “Opt out of Ads Personalization”.
On other platforms: similar privacy or advertising settings menus, where available.

For child users and child-directed experiences, we configure our ad settings to use non-personalized ads where possible.

5. Children’s Privacy

Our games are generally intended for a wide audience, but we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age required in your region) without appropriate parental consent.

If you believe that your child has provided personal information to us without your consent, please contact us at info@birdtekgames.com. We will take steps to review and delete such information where required by law.

6. Data Retention

We retain gameplay, analytics, and diagnostic data only for as long as is reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, such as operating and improving our games or complying with legal obligations.

If you request deletion of your data, we will delete or anonymize it within a reasonable time, subject to any legal obligations to retain certain records.

7. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal data, such as the right to request access, correction, deletion, or restriction of processing.

You can contact us to:

Request access to the data we hold about you (where identifiable).
Request that we correct or delete your data where appropriate.
Request that we stop using your data for certain purposes, such as personalized advertising.

To exercise these rights, email us at info@birdtekgames.com. We may need to ask you for additional information to verify your identity before processing your request.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect, including secure transmission (such as HTTPS) and limited access to data. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. International Transfers

Our games and services may be operated from, and data may be processed in, countries other than your own. By using our games, you consent to the transfer of your information to these countries where the data protection laws may differ from those in your jurisdiction.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, for example to reflect changes in our games, services, or legal requirements. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.

Your continued use of our games after any changes becomes effective will mean you accept the revised policy.
