This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which Throwing Knife (the "Game", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, maintains, and discloses information collected from users (each, a "User" or "you") of the mobile application. This policy applies to the Game and all products and services offered by the developer.
We are deeply committed to the privacy of our players. The core design philosophy of Throwing Knife ensures that your gameplay experience remains private, local, and free from intrusive data harvesting.
Zero Data Retention: We explicitly state that Throwing Knife does not collect, store, transmit, or process any personally identifiable information (PII). This includes, but is not limited to, your name, email address, physical location, device ID, IP address, contact list, or any other data that could be used to identify you as an individual.
Local Gameplay: All game progress, high scores, settings, and unlockables are stored locally on your device. We do not have access to this data, nor do we sync it to any cloud servers owned or operated by us. If you uninstall the Game, all local data is permanently lost as we hold no backup copies.
No User Accounts: The Game does not require you to create an account, log in, or provide any registration details to play. Consequently, there are no user profiles or databases containing player identities.
While we do not collect data, the Game integrates third-party Software Development Kits (SDKs) to facilitate advertising and basic crash analytics. These third parties may collect certain non-personal or pseudonymized data automatically as part of their standard operations. We have no control over the data collection practices of these third parties, and their use of information is subject to their own privacy policies.
The Game uses the Google Mobile Ads SDK to display advertisements. Google may collect data such as your IP address, device model, operating system version, unique advertising identifiers (e.g., GAID for Android, IDFA for iOS), and approximate geolocation derived from your IP address. This data is used to serve relevant ads, measure ad performance, and prevent fraudulent activity. For more information, please review the Google Privacy Policy.
We utilize the Firebase SDK (provided by Google) strictly for crash reporting and app stability monitoring. This allows us to receive anonymous reports when the Game crashes, helping us fix bugs. Firebase may collect device information and crash logs, but this data is anonymized and not linked to your personal identity. Details can be found in the Firebase Privacy Policy.
The Game may integrate the Meta Audience Network to serve ads. This involves the Facebook SDK, which may collect device identifiers, IP addresses, and data regarding your interaction with ads (e.g., whether an ad was clicked or viewed). Meta uses this data for ad targeting and measurement. Their practices are governed by the Meta Privacy Policy.
The Game itself does not use cookies. However, the advertising networks integrated via the aforementioned SDKs may use cookies, web beacons, pixel tags, and other tracking technologies to collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites and apps. This enables them to deliver targeted advertisements that match your interests. You can often opt-out of personalized advertising through your device's settings (e.g., "Limit Ad Tracking" on iOS or "Opt-out of Ads Personalization" on Android).
Since we do not collect or store any user data, there is no risk of your personal information being breached from our servers. The security of the data processed by third-party SDKs is managed by those respective companies, who employ industry-standard security measures. We encourage users to keep their devices secure and up-to-date.
Protecting the privacy of young children is especially important. Our Game is intended for a general audience and does not knowingly collect any personal information from children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your region). As we do not collect any personal data from any user regardless of age, we are inherently compliant with regulations like the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) and the GDPR regarding children's data. If we ever become aware that personal information from a child has been inadvertently received, we will take immediate steps to delete such information.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in legal requirements, the functionality of the Game, or the practices of our third-party partners. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised "Effective Date". We encourage you to review this policy from time to time. Your continued use of the Game following any changes indicates your acceptance of the new terms.

Under various privacy laws (such as the GDPR in Europe or the CCPA in California), users have rights regarding their personal data, including the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing. However, since Throwing Knife does not collect or process any personal data, there is no data for us to provide, correct, or delete. For data held by third-party SDKs (Google, Meta), you must exercise your rights directly with those providers through their respective privacy tools and settings.
If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions regarding this Privacy Policy or the privacy practices of Throwing Knife, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are available solely via email.
