Privacy Policy

This policy applies to the ATOMS mobile game and its official website at atomsmerge.com. ATOMS is operated by the developer of the game, Adapteit. For privacy questions or requests, contact [email protected].

What information is used?

• Game progress and preferences: Saved games, discoveries, progress, settings and high-score caches are stored locally on your device or in your browser. These are not automatically part of a user account.
• Leaderboard: If you submit a score, the game sends a three-character player name, score and world identifier to our service. We record the submission time and display the highest scores publicly. The service also processes your IP address temporarily to limit abuse and repeated submissions.
• Website analytics: Where enabled, our first-party Umami analytics measures aggregate site usage and in-game events to help us understand performance and improve the experience. Technical usage information may be processed when an analytics request is made.
• Advertising: Android builds may use Google AdMob for optional rewarded ads. The Google advertising SDK may process technical device information, advertising identifiers and usage-related data under Google's policies. Current test builds may show test ads; production advertising may require consent where applicable.
• Service and security data: Servers and service providers may process network information such as IP addresses, request times and technical diagnostics to deliver the service, prevent abuse and investigate errors.

Why we process information

We use this information to run ATOMS and its optional leaderboard, remember settings and progress, operate rewarded advertising where enabled, understand usage, maintain security and comply with legal obligations. Depending on the situation and applicable law, the basis for processing may be providing the service, legitimate interests in security and improvement, legal obligations or consent for applicable advertising activities.

Third-party services

ATOMS may use Google Play for app distribution and Google AdMob for advertising. These providers process data according to their own policies, including the Google Privacy Policy. If you follow a Discord or other external link, the destination's privacy policy applies. We do not request your Google account password.

Storage and retention

Local progress remains on your device until you clear the game's data or uninstall it, subject to your device backups. The server keeps the currently qualifying leaderboard scores, which may be replaced by later results. Rate-limiting information is kept temporarily; security and hosting logs are kept only as long as operationally necessary. Third-party providers apply their own retention periods.

Your choices and rights

You can clear local game data through your device or browser. You can decide whether to submit a leaderboard score. Where supported, advertising privacy or consent choices are available in the game. Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, erase, restrict or object to processing of your personal information, or withdraw consent. Contact [email protected] to make a request, including removal of a leaderboard entry. We may need enough information to find the relevant record.

Children

Players under the age required to consent to data processing in their country should use ATOMS with the involvement of a parent or guardian. Ad availability and consent requirements can vary by age and location.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy if ATOMS features, service providers or legal requirements change. The latest version will be posted at this address with a new date.
