Privacy Policy
Last updated:
This policy covers the Ringside game for Android and iOS and the website ringside.lambdainteractive.xyz. It is published by Lambda Interactive (“we”, “us”). If anything here is unclear, write to support@lambdainteractive.xyz.
The short version
- Ringside does not ask for an account, name, email address or phone number.
- Your game progress is saved on your device.
- To show ads, understand how the game is used and find crashes, Ringside uses Google services (AdMob and Firebase). They collect limited technical data about your device and how you use the game.
- Purchases are handled by Google Play or the App Store. We never see your card details.
- Ringside is not meant for children under 13.
- This website uses no cookies, no analytics and no advertising trackers.
Who is responsible for your data
Lambda Interactive decides why and how the data described below is used, so we are the “controller” in the sense of data protection laws such as the GDPR. You can reach us at support@lambdainteractive.xyz.
What we collect and why
| What | Details | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Game progress | Your stage, gear, moves, training and settings. They are stored on your device. If cloud save is available in your version and you sign in to Google Play Games or Apple Game Center, a copy is also kept by that service. | To let you keep playing, and to restore your progress on a new device. |
| Advertising data | Collected by Google AdMob when ads are shown: your device’s advertising ID, IP address, device and app information, and how you interact with ads. | To show and measure ads, including the optional rewarded ads that give bonus rewards. |
| Usage analytics | Collected by Google Firebase Analytics: events such as the stage you reach, items you open and purchases, together with an app instance ID, device model, operating system, language and approximate location (country or region). | To understand how the game is played and to balance it. |
| Crash reports | Collected by Firebase Crashlytics: crash logs, device model, operating system and app version, and an installation ID. | To find and fix crashes. |
| Game settings | The game downloads settings (for example balance values) from Firebase Remote Config. This uses an installation ID. | To tune the game without forcing an update. |
| Purchases | Payments are processed by Google Play or the App Store. We receive confirmation of what was bought and whether it is valid, never your card details. | To deliver what you bought and to restore purchases such as Remove Ads. |
| Messages to us | If you write to us: your email address and what you tell us. | To reply and help you. |
Notifications
Ringside can remind you when a workout is finished, when your purse is full or when a bag upgrade is ready. These are local notifications scheduled on your device. No data is sent to us for them, and you can turn them off in the game’s Settings or in your device settings.
What we do not collect
We do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, camera, microphone or precise location.
This website
The website is static. It sets no cookies, runs no analytics and loads no third-party scripts, and its fonts are served from our own domain. Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs (such as IP address and requested page) for security and reliability.
How we use data
- To run the game, save and restore your progress and deliver purchases.
- To show ads and measure how they perform.
- To find crashes, fix bugs and balance the game.
- To answer your messages.
- To meet legal obligations and to protect the game against fraud and abuse.
Who receives data
We share data only with service providers that help us run the game:
- Google (AdMob, Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, Remote Config, Google Play and Google Play Games). See Google’s privacy policy and how Google uses data from apps that use its services.
- Apple (App Store and Game Center). See Apple’s privacy policy.
- Advertising partners that take part in Google AdMob ad serving and may receive device identifiers to show you ads.
- Authorities or courts, when the law requires it.
We do not sell your personal data for money.
Consent and ad choices
- EEA, UK and Switzerland. Where the law requires it, the game asks for your consent before ads or analytics use identifiers on your device. You can change your choice later where the game offers privacy options.
- iOS. The game asks for permission before tracking you across apps and websites of other companies. You can say no and still play.
- Android. You can reset your advertising ID or opt out of ads personalization in your device settings (usually under Settings, Privacy, Ads).
- United States. Some state laws treat ad personalization as “sharing” of personal information. Using the choices above, or writing to us, lets you opt out.
Legal bases (EEA and UK)
We rely on: your consent where ads or analytics need it; performance of a contract to run the game and deliver your purchases; and our legitimate interests in keeping the game stable, secure and fair.
How long we keep data
- Game progress stays on your device until you reset it or remove the app. A cloud copy stays in your Google Play Games or Game Center account until you delete it there.
- Firebase Analytics data is kept for up to 14 months. Crash reports are kept for about 90 days.
- Messages to support are kept for as long as needed to help you and to keep a record of the request.
International transfers
Google and Apple process data in several countries, including outside your own. They use safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework where the law requires them.
Security
Data sent between the game and the services above is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). No system is completely secure, so we cannot promise absolute security.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example the EEA, the UK, California or Indonesia under its Personal Data Protection Law, Law No. 27 of 2022), you may have the right to know what data we hold about you, to correct or delete it, to restrict or object to its use, to take it with you, to withdraw consent, and to complain to your local data protection authority. Write to support@lambdainteractive.xyz and we will answer within 30 days.
Because the game has no accounts, we usually cannot tell who a piece of analytics data belongs to. We may ask for details such as your device model or the approximate time you played, and if we cannot link data to you we will say so.
Delete your data
- On your device: in the game, open Settings and choose Reset progress. This deletes your progress on the device and in the cloud save. Removing the app also deletes the data stored on your device.
- Advertising ID: reset it in your device settings. This breaks the link between you and past ad data.
- Anything we hold about you: email support@lambdainteractive.xyz with the subject “Data deletion”. Tell us what you want deleted.
Children
Ringside is not directed to children under 13, or under the minimum age set by the law where you live. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you think a child has given us data, write to us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
When we change this policy we update the date at the top. If a change is significant we will also tell you in the game or on this website.
