Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Highbrow Interactive Private Limited is a simulation game studio based in Chennai, India. We decide what information our games collect and what happens to it, and we follow the data protection laws that apply in the places we operate.

2. Information we collect

The games collect the information they need in order to run, to be improved and to be paid for. It falls into five categories.

We do not ask you for a password. Where a game offers sign-in, it is handled by Google or Apple and we never receive your credentials.

If you write to us for help, we keep your message and anything you attach to it, so that we can answer you.

We do not knowingly collect sensitive information such as health, religion, political opinion or biometrics. Please do not send us any when you contact us.

3. How we use your information

We use your information for the following.

4. Who we share it with

We do not sell your personal information for money. We do share it with the following kinds of recipient, and only for the purposes above.

We are based in India, and most of these providers process information in the United States and Europe, so your information is transferred outside the country you are in. We rely on the protections those providers put in place for such transfers, and you can ask us about them.

Sharing your advertising identifier and game activity with advertising partners so that they can show you relevant advertising counts as sharing your information, even though no money changes hands. You can tell us to stop — see Advertising and your choices.

5. Third-party services in our games

Our games include services operated by other companies. Each processes some information in its own right, under its own privacy policy, and we encourage you to read them.

Not every service appears in every game, and the list changes as the games change.

6. How long we keep it

We keep information only as long as it is needed for the purpose we collected it for.

If you ask us to delete your data, we act on it as described in Deleting your data rather than waiting for these periods to run out.

7. Your rights

You can ask us to:

Write to hello@highbrowinteractive.com and we will deal with your request within the time the law allows. We may need to ask you for the user ID shown in the game’s settings, because it is usually the only way we can identify your data.

Some things you can do without us: disconnect a linked Google or Apple account in your device settings, reset or limit your advertising identifier on your device, and control cookies in your browser.

8. Deleting your data

You can ask us to delete the personal information we hold about you, whether or not you have ever signed in.

Write to hello@highbrowinteractive.com with the subject line “Delete my data”, and tell us which game you play and the user ID shown in that game’s settings screen. We will delete the personal information we hold about you and confirm when it is done.

Some information survives a deletion request, and we would rather say so than surprise you. We keep purchase records where tax and accounting law requires it, and we keep aggregated or de-identified data that can no longer be linked back to you. Deleting your data does not reverse purchases or refund them; that is handled by Google or Apple.

Uninstalling a game does not by itself delete data we already hold, so if that is what you want, please write to us.

9. Advertising and your choices

Our games are free to play and are funded by advertising and optional in-app purchases. Advertising is served by the partners listed in section 5.

Advertising can be personalised, which means it is chosen using your advertising identifier and information about the apps you use, or non-personalised, which means it is not. You can turn personalisation off and still play the game; you will simply see less relevant advertising.

10. Children’s privacy

Our games are general audience games and are not directed at children.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from a child below the age at which they can consent for themselves in their own country. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has given us personal information, write to hello@highbrowinteractive.com and we will delete it promptly.

11. Cookies on this website

This website uses Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages are read. It sets cookies on your device to do that. Our games do not use cookies; they use the identifiers described in section 2.

You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings. The site works without them.

12. How we keep it safe

We use technical and organisational measures appropriate to the information we hold, including encrypting it in transit and limiting who inside the company can reach it. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Our games and this website link to services we do not operate, including the app stores, our social media pages and advertisers’ destinations. We are not responsible for their content or their privacy practices. Read their policies before giving them information.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes to our games, to our data practices, or to applicable law. When we do, we will revise the Last updated date at the top of this page.

Where a change materially affects how we handle your personal information, we will give more prominent notice, such as a message in the game. We encourage you to review this page from time to time. Continuing to use our games or services after a revised policy takes effect means you accept it.

15. How to contact us

For anything about this policy or your personal information, including any request to exercise a right, write to us. If you are not satisfied with how we have handled a request, say so and we will look at it again.
