Privacy Policy
The short version: Kingshold is free and supported by ads. The first time you open it, before you play, it asks whether you agree to personalised ads. You can say no and still play. The game has no accounts, and your progress stays on your device. This website sets no cookies. If you email us, we use your message only to reply.
Who we are
Fishead Studios is a solo developer. This policy covers our game Kingshold and this website, fisheadstudios.com. You can reach us at support@fisheadstudios.com.
Kingshold
Information stored on your device
Kingshold saves your progress and settings, such as sound, vibration and display preferences, on your device so you can pick up where you left off. This information stays on your device. It is not sent to us or to anyone else, and we cannot see it. Uninstalling the game or clearing its data deletes it.
Advertising
Kingshold is free to play and shows ads served by Google AdMob.
The first time you open the game, before you play, it asks whether you agree to personalised ads. You can agree or decline, and you can play either way. You can change your answer at any time in the game’s settings.
- If you agree, Google may use your device’s advertising ID and information about your device and how you use apps to show ads that match your interests.
- If you decline, you see non-personalised ads. These are chosen from general information, such as the game you are playing and your approximate location, not from a profile of you.
Either way, Google collects some information to show ads, measure them and prevent fraud, such as your IP address, your device type and operating system, and how you interact with ads. Google handles this information under its own policies; see how Google uses information from apps that use its services.
On iPhone and iPad, iOS also asks your permission before any app can use your device’s advertising identifier. On any phone, you can reset your advertising ID or turn off personalised ads in your device settings.
What the game does not do
- It has no accounts or sign-in.
- It does not ask for your name, email address, contacts, photos or precise location.
- Apart from the ads described above, it does not include analytics, crash-reporting or tracking services.
- It does not offer in-app purchases.
Vibration
On phones that support it, Kingshold uses vibration for feedback during play. This needs no personal information.
Google Play and the App Store
You get Kingshold through Google Play or Apple’s App Store. Google and Apple handle your account, downloads and any payments under their own privacy policies, and we never receive your payment details. They give developers summary statistics, such as install counts, and crash reports from people who have chosen to share diagnostics with developers in their device settings. These do not identify you to us.
If this changes
If a future version of Kingshold adds in-app purchases or any other service that collects information, we will update this policy before that version is released. The update will name each service and explain what it collects and why.
This website
fisheadstudios.com has no cookies, analytics, advertising or tracking. It is hosted by Cloudflare, which, like any web host, processes technical information such as your IP address and browser details to deliver the site and protect it from abuse. Cloudflare handles that information under its own privacy policy.
Emailing us
If you email support@fisheadstudios.com, we receive your email address and anything you include in your message. Mail sent to that address is forwarded by Cloudflare and stored in our Google (Gmail) account. We use it only to reply and to help you. We do not share it or add you to a mailing list, and we delete it when it is no longer needed.
Children
Kingshold is not made for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has given us personal information, for example by emailing us, contact us and we will delete it.
Your choices and rights
You can change your answer about personalised ads at any time in the game’s settings. Your game data lives on your device, so it is always under your control. For anything you have sent us by email, you can ask us to show you, correct or delete it by writing to support@fisheadstudios.com. We will reply within 30 days.
If you are not satisfied with our response, you can contact the data protection authority where you live.
Changes to this policy
When we change this policy, we will update the date at the top of this page. If a change affects what Kingshold collects, we will describe it here before the version that introduces it is released.
