This Privacy Policy explains how PRARA GAMES (“we”, “us”, “our”) handles information when you use the Runway Jam mobile game (“App”) on Android and any other platform where we make it available.

1. Who we are & contact

• Developer: PRARA GAMES (responsible for your data as the “controller” / “data fiduciary” under applicable law)
• App: Runway Jam (package: com.theprara.runway.jam)
• Email: app@theprara.in
• Website: https://www.theprara.in

2. What the App does (features relevant to privacy)

Runway Jam is an airport puzzle game. You tap parked jets to taxi them to matching gates, board waiting passengers, and clear the apron without a crash. Features include:

• Puzzle levels bundled inside the App, level select, and saved level progress
• An optional 15-minute “unlock all levels” window started from the menu
• How to Play, pause, win, crash, and fail screens
• Settings: music, sound FX, vibration, and a notifications preference
• Share App (system share sheet), Rate Us (store page), Give Suggestions (opens your email app), Privacy & Policy links, About Us (studio email, website, and a LinkedIn profile link), and More Games (our developer page on Google Play)
• Advertising: banner ads (menu, level select, gameplay, pause, crash, and fail screens) and full-screen interstitial ads (for example, when you retry after a failed level or move on to the next level)

The App has no account or login, chat, user-generated content, friend lists, leaderboards, in-app purchases, or location features.

3. Age requirement (13+)

Runway Jam is designed for, and intended to be used by, people aged 13 years and older. It is not directed at children under 13, and children under 13 should not use it. If you are under the age of majority where you live (for example, under 18 in India), please use the App only with the knowledge and permission of a parent or legal guardian, who should read this Policy with you. See Section 9 for more detail.

4. Information we collect

4.1 Information stored only on your device

• The highest level you have unlocked
• The end time of an active 15-minute “unlock all levels” window
• Your settings: music on/off, sound FX on/off, vibration on/off, and notifications on/off
• Whether the App has already asked for notification permission
• The schedule of upcoming play reminders, kept by your device’s notification system

This information is saved locally (Android SharedPreferences). It is not sent to us, and we cannot see it. Clearing the App’s data or uninstalling the App deletes it, and your progress cannot be restored by us. Level layouts, graphics, and audio ship inside the App.

We do not ask for or collect your name, email address (unless you email us), phone number, contacts, photos, files, microphone, camera, or precise location.

4.2 Information collected by our advertising partner (Google AdMob)

To show ads, the App uses the Google Mobile Ads SDK. When an ad is requested or shown, Google may automatically collect and process:

• Device identifiers: your device’s resettable Advertising ID and, where available on your device, Android Privacy Sandbox signals (such as Topics and ad attribution)
• Network and approximate location: IP address, from which a general location (such as country or city) may be inferred
• Device and app information: device model, operating system and version, language, screen size, and App version
• Ad interactions: ad requests, impressions, views, and clicks
• Diagnostics: performance and crash information related to the ads SDK

Google uses this information to deliver, measure, and (where permitted) personalise ads, and to prevent fraud and abuse. We receive only aggregated reports from AdMob (for example, total ad impressions and earnings), which do not identify you.

4.3 Information you choose to send us

• Give Suggestions / email: The App opens your email app addressed to app@theprara.in with a pre-filled subject. If you send it, we receive your email address, the message, and anything you attach. Please do not include sensitive personal information.
• Share App: Share text and the store link are passed to the app you choose in the system share sheet. We do not receive who you share with.

4.4 Device permissions

• Internet: to load ads and open links you choose
• Keep screen on (wake lock): to stop the screen from dimming while you play; no data is collected
• Advertising ID & AdServices (AD_ID, ACCESS_ADSERVICES_*): added by the Google Mobile Ads SDK to support ads
• Vibration: short haptic feedback when enabled in Settings
• Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS): to show optional play reminders; on Android 13 and later you are asked first
• Run at startup (RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED): only to restore the reminder schedule after your device restarts

4.5 Play reminders (local notifications)

If you allow notifications, the App schedules up to four friendly play reminders a day (morning, midday, evening, and night) for about the next seven days. They are created and delivered entirely on your device by the operating system. Reminder text ships with the App, nothing is sent to or from our servers, and reminders are not used for advertising or profiling. To schedule them at the right local time, the App reads your device’s time zone, which stays on the device.

You can turn reminders off at any time with the Notifications toggle in Settings or in your device’s notification settings. Turning them off cancels all scheduled reminders. If you do not open the App for about a week, reminders stop on their own.

5. Advertising and your ad choices

• Ads are provided by Google AdMob and are currently shown in the Android version of the App. We do not control which specific ads appear, but ads are subject to Google’s advertising policies. If you see an ad that seems inappropriate, please tell us at app@theprara.in.
• Personalised vs. non-personalised ads: Personalised ads use information such as your Advertising ID and interests. Non-personalised ads rely on context (such as the App and general location) and still use identifiers for frequency capping, measurement, and fraud prevention.
• Consent where required: In regions where the law requires consent before personalised ads (for example, the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland), we will ask for your choice through a Google-certified consent tool before personalised ads are served. If you do not consent, only non-personalised or limited ads may be shown.
• Turn off ads personalisation on Android: open device Settings → Privacy → Ads (or Settings → Google → Ads) and choose Delete advertising ID or opt out of ads personalisation. You can also manage Privacy Sandbox ad topics in your device settings and review Google ad settings at https://myadcenter.google.com.
• Players under 18: We do not intend to target personalised ads at users under 18. If you are under 18, we recommend that you (with a parent or guardian) turn off ads personalisation using the steps above.
• Learn how Google uses information from apps that use its services: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

6. How and why we use information

• Run the game — save level progress, the unlock-all timer, and your settings on your device (necessary to provide the App you asked for)
• Keep the App free with ads — show and measure ads, cap how often ads appear, and prevent ad fraud (our legitimate interest in funding the App; your consent where the law requires it for personalised ads)
• Reply to you — answer suggestions and support emails and improve the App (our legitimate interest, or your request)
• Safety and legal — protect the App, our users, and our rights, and meet legal obligations

We do not use your information to make decisions that have legal or similarly significant effects on you, and we do not send marketing emails.

7. How information is shared

We share information only as described here:

• Google — AdMob (advertising, measurement, fraud prevention) and Google Play (distribution and store pages). See the Google Privacy Policy.
• Services you open yourself — your email provider, the app you choose in the share sheet, the Play Store, our website, and LinkedIn (from About Us). Each applies its own privacy policy.
• Legal reasons — if required by law, court order, or government request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of users, the public, or PRARA GAMES.
• Business transfer — if the App or our business is transferred, information under our control may move to the new owner, who must respect this Policy.

We do not sell personal information for money. Under some US state laws (for example, California), allowing an ad partner to use identifiers for personalised ads may be treated as “sharing” for cross-context behavioural advertising. You can opt out at any time by deleting your Advertising ID or turning off ads personalisation as described in Section 5. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16.

8. Data retention

• On-device data stays until you clear the App’s data or uninstall the App.
• Emails are kept only as long as needed to respond and keep a record of the conversation, and normally no longer than 24 months, unless the law requires otherwise. You can ask us to delete them earlier.
• Advertising data collected by Google is retained under Google’s retention policy.

9. Children and teens

Runway Jam is intended for users aged 13 and older and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has used the App or sent us personal information (for example, by email), please contact us at app@theprara.in and we will delete information under our control.

Some laws give extra protection to older minors. For example, under India’s Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, a “child” is anyone under 18, and in parts of the EEA the age of digital consent is up to 16. If you are below the relevant age, a parent or legal guardian should review this Policy, supervise your use of the App, and may turn off ads personalisation on your device. Parents and guardians can contact us for any request about their child’s information.

10. Your rights and choices

10.1 Choices in the App and on your device

• Turn music, sound FX, vibration, and notifications on or off in Settings
• Delete your Advertising ID or opt out of ads personalisation (Section 5)
• Do not use Share, Give Suggestions, Rate Us, More Games, or About Us links if you do not want those services to receive information
• Clear the App’s data or uninstall the App to delete everything stored on your device

10.2 Legal rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information; to object to or restrict processing; to withdraw consent at any time (without affecting earlier processing); to nominate another person to exercise your rights (India); to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of personal information (US states); and to not be treated differently for using these rights.

Because we have no account system and do not store gameplay or advertising data on our servers, we usually hold no personal information about you other than emails you send us. For advertising data, you can use Google’s tools (Section 5) or ask us and we will help. We aim to respond within 30 days. We may need to verify your request before acting on it.

If you are in the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority. In India, you may approach the Data Protection Board of India after using our grievance process below.

11. Grievance redressal

For any privacy question, complaint, or request, contact our grievance contact: PRARA GAMES, email app@theprara.in (subject line: “Runway Jam — Privacy”). We aim to acknowledge your message within 7 days and resolve it within 30 days.

12. International transfers

PRARA GAMES is based in India. Google and other service providers may process information on servers in other countries, including the United States. Where required, these providers use recognised safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses to protect information transferred across borders.

13. Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information under our control, and ad traffic is sent over encrypted connections by the Google Mobile Ads SDK. Most App data stays on your device, so please keep your device locked and up to date. No method of storage or transmission is 100% secure.

14. Third-party links

Ads and in-App links may take you to websites or apps we do not operate (such as advertisers, Google Play, and LinkedIn). We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. Please review their policies before sharing information with them.

15. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy when features, partners, or laws change. The updated version will show a new “Last updated” date at https://www.theprara.in/runway_jam/privacy-policy.html (or the Privacy Policy link on the App’s Google Play page). If a change is significant, we will also give notice in the App or on the store listing. Continuing to use the App after an update means the updated Policy applies.
