Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Chrono Market collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use the Chrono Market mobile application.
1. Information We Collect
Depending on how you use the app, we may collect the following:
- Account information, such as your email address, when you sign up or sign in through AWS Cognito.
- Profile information, such as your in-game display name.
- Game data, including your user profile, premium status, influence balance, upgrade progress, highscores, and other gameplay-related data needed to operate the service.
- Purchase data, such as product identifiers and purchase tokens used to verify in-app purchases with the applicable app store.
- Advertising and consent data, including ad consent choices and device-level advertising information handled by Google AdMob and Google's User Messaging Platform.
- Technical and network data, such as IP address, device or app information, and request metadata that may be processed by our infrastructure and service providers when the app communicates with backend services.
- Local device data, including cached game state, observed stocks, language preference, and in-app "last seen" values stored on your device.
2. How We Use Information
We use information to:
- create and manage your account;
- authenticate you and keep you signed in securely;
- deliver gameplay features and synchronize your progress;
- display leaderboards and highscores;
- process and verify in-app purchases;
- show ads and manage ad consent choices;
- maintain app security, reliability, and performance; and
- respond to support, privacy, or account deletion requests.
3. Authentication and Sign-In
Chrono Market uses AWS Cognito for account registration, login, email verification, password reset, and session management. The app may also support Google sign-in through Cognito's hosted authentication flow.
4. Advertising
Chrono Market uses Google AdMob to display ads, including native ads and rewarded ads. Google and its partners may collect information such as device identifiers, IP address, app interaction data, and consent status in accordance with their own policies.
Where required, the app presents consent options through Google's User Messaging Platform. You can review or change available ad privacy options from the app's profile/settings area when supported.
5. In-App Purchases
If you make a purchase, the app may process store-provided product identifiers and purchase tokens so purchases can be validated and the corresponding content or premium benefits can be granted. Payment processing itself is handled by the platform store provider, not by Chrono Market directly.
6. Local Storage on Your Device
The app stores some information locally on your device to improve performance and maintain your experience, including secure session data, language selection, cached game snapshots, world state, stock observation data, and news/event read markers.
7. How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information only as needed with service providers that help us operate the app, such as:
- AWS Cognito for authentication;
- Google AdMob and Google's consent tools for advertising; and
- the Apple App Store and/or Google Play for purchase processing and restoration.
We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the security, rights, or integrity of the service.
8. Data Retention
We retain account and gameplay data for as long as needed to provide the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Data stored locally on your device may remain until you clear app data, uninstall the app, or delete your account, depending on the type of data and your platform.
9. Account Deletion and Your Choices
You can request deletion of your account directly in the app through Profile > Delete account. When deletion succeeds, the app removes local authentication data and signs you out.
If you cannot access the app and need assistance with account or data deletion, contact us at mouxum.inc@gmail.com.
10. Children's Privacy
Chrono Market is not intended for children under 13, or a higher minimum age where required by local law. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.
11. Security
We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
12. Third-Party Policies
Third-party services used by the app may apply their own privacy policies. You can learn more here:
13. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date on this page. Your continued use of the app after changes become effective means you accept the updated policy.
