Privacy Policy

Last Revised: August 13, 2026

Welcome to the Data Protection Policy for Yuan Lai Yuan ("we", "us", or "our"). This document clearly explains how we gather, leverage, and safeguard your personal information when you play our mobile title, Fish Evolution Tycoon, available through Google Play. We process your information with one main goal: to bring you top-tier gaming features and ensure your experience is smooth and secure.

1. What Information We Collect

We rely on a few different methods to capture and utilize your personal details, always prioritizing the safety of your digital footprint. Below, we break down exactly what data we look at and how we handle it.

1.1 Types of Data We Track When you dive into Fish Evolution Tycoon, our backend systems may register the following types of information:

Technical Logs: Your IP address, the time you connected, and basic hardware types.

Device Details: The brand and model of your phone or tablet, the operating system (Android/Google OS), your chosen language, and your local time zone.

Digital Identifiers: Unique codes tied to your device, which include your Google Advertising ID (GAID), Android Device ID, your main Google Account ID, and your Google Play Games ID.

Play Metrics: Your high scores, earned badges, overall progress, and records from your online multiplayer matches.

Purchase History: Records of virtual items you've bought or used, in-game currency balances, and your personal game settings.

1.2 Data from Third-Party Logins If you decide to log in using an outside service like Google Play Games, we will pull basic profile info (like your username and public avatar) from them. We only do this using their secure login systems, and it entirely depends on you having agreed to their data-sharing rules first. You can read up on how they treat your data right here:

Google Play Games / Google Services: https://policies.google.com/privacy

By using these third-party logins, you are agreeing that:

You are following the current terms of service of that external provider.

You are old enough to use their service legally in your country or region.

2. Why We Need Your Data

Everything we collect serves a specific purpose, and we make sure we have a solid legal reason for doing so:

Running the Game and Helping You: We need your data to process in-game purchases, answer your support tickets, keep the core game running, tailor the app to you, and send out bug fixes and security patches.

Legal Basis: This falls under GDPR Article 6(1)(b) (contractual necessity). Simply put, we need this data to keep our end of the bargain and make sure the game works.

Improving and Promoting the Game: We use your info to send you relevant news about Yuan Lai Yuan, remember how you like your settings, and study how players interact with the game so we can build better features and improve our marketing.

Legal Basis: Supported by GDPR Article 6(1)(f) (legitimate interests). We use this to grow our business and make the game more fun for everyone.

Showing Relevant Ads: We use data to show you personalized advertisements, provided you’ve allowed our ad partners to see your device identifiers.

Legal Basis: Also based on GDPR Article 6(1)(f), supporting our legitimate interest in keeping the game funded through advertising.

3. How Long We Keep Your Data

We hold onto your personal information only as long as we need it to keep the game running, follow the law, or handle legal disputes. If we need to fix a contract issue, maintain our servers, or comply with a judge, we might archive some data for a legally allowed timeframe. We also keep anonymous Usage Data to see how the game is performing. This is usually deleted quickly, unless we specifically need it to boost security or the law tells us to keep it longer.

4. Who We Share Data With

To keep things transparent and in line with GDPR Articles 6(1)(b), 6(1)(c), and 6(1)(f), here is when we might share your info:

Business Partners: People we work with to deliver the game, handle legal matters, or manage business transitions, assuming you’ve given us the green light.

Law Enforcement: If someone breaks our rules, or if the police or courts require us to share data to protect people, property, or Yuan Lai Yuan's rights.

Other Gamers: When you play online, chat in forums, or rank up on global leaderboards, other players will see your public stats.

4.1 Our Advertising Partners If you give us permission under GDPR Article 6(1), we share your device IDs with ad networks so they can show you ads you might actually care about. Our current and future ad network friends include:

5. Youth Privacy

Fish Evolution Tycoon is not built for, nor advertised to, kids under 13. We absolutely do not try to collect data from young children. If we find out we accidentally grabbed data from someone under 13, we will wipe it from our servers immediately. Parents, if you think your child gave us their info, please email us right away so we can fix it.

6. Keeping Your Data Safe

Your trust means everything to us, so we use strong, industry-standard security tools to lock down your data. But, let's be real—nothing on the internet is 100% hacker-proof. Because of that, we can't promise total, unbreakable security.

7. Mobile Notifications

If you say it's okay, we'll send push notifications to your Android device to let you know about game updates, sales, and important alerts. Change your mind? You can turn these off whenever you want in your phone’s notification settings.

8. Your Regulatory Rights

8.1 Rights for Users in the EEA (Europe) We try to handle all privacy requests within 30 days. If your request is super complicated, GDPR Article 12 lets us take up to three months, but we will always message you to explain the delay.

(1) The Right to Access: Under GDPR Article 15, you can ask us exactly what data we have, why we have it, and who else has seen it. You can even ask for a digital copy, as long as it doesn't mess with our company secrets.

(2) The Right to Say No: Per GDPR Article 21, you can tell us to stop using your data for "legitimate interests" (Article 6(1)(f)). We have to stop unless we have a massive legal reason not to. You also have total power to tell us to stop using your data for marketing.

(3) The Right to Fix Errors: Under GDPR Article 16, if we have the wrong info about you, tell us and we will correct it.

(4) The Right to Pause Processing: GDPR Article 18 lets you ask us to put a hold on using your data under certain situations.

(5) The Right to Take Back Consent: Following GDPR Article 7, if you gave us permission to use your data, you can take that permission back at any time. (This doesn't undo what we did before you changed your mind, though).

(6) The Right to Move Your Data: Under GDPR Article 20, you can ask for your data in a clean, digital format so you can take it to a different service provider easily.

8.2 Rights for Users in California

(1) Response Speed: We aim to sort out your verifiable requests within 45 days. If we need more time (up to 90 days), we'll write to you and explain why.

(2) What We Show You: We will only give you data collected in the 12 months right before you asked, formatted so it's easy to read.

(3) The Right to Opt-Out: The CCPA gives you the power to tell us, "Do not sell my personal info to anyone."

(4) The Right to Know: You deserve to know what types of data we collect and why. That’s exactly what this document is for, and we update it yearly.

(5) The Right to Ask for Records: Twice a year, for free, you can ask us for a complete rundown of the personal info we've collected on you over the past year.

(6) The Right to Delete: You can ask us to wipe the data we've collected over the last 12 months. There are a few legal exceptions (like if we need it to fix a bug or follow a law), but otherwise, we'll delete it.

9. Requesting Account Deletion

When you're done with the game and we no longer need your info, you can ask us to permanently delete it. To get this process started, just shoot an email to the address below.
