Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Harry Games makes learning games for young children. The games are published on the App Store by the developer Zakir Mavlyanov and on Google Play as Harry Games (together, "Harry Games", "we", "us"). This policy covers our apps — Harry: Kindergarten Games (Harry Islands on Google Play), Harry Cards, Piano for Kids and HarryPhone — and the website harry-games.com.

Contact: info@harry-games.com, Sodiq Azimov street 68, Tashkent 100047, Uzbekistan.

2. What the apps collect

2.1 Anonymous play statistics

To understand which parts of a game children enjoy and where something goes wrong, these apps send short technical messages to our own server (harry-games.com):

• Piano for Kids (iPhone, iPad and Android);
• Harry Cards (Android, and iPhone and iPad from version 2.3);
• Harry Islands / Harry: Kindergarten Games (Android).

Each message contains: a random install number created by the app on the device (it is not an advertising ID and is not linked to the device, an account or a person), the app name, the platform (iOS or Android), the app version, the device language, the name of the step (for example "app opened", "level opened", "purchase screen shown", "purchase completed") and its time. For a completed purchase, the message also contains the price and currency shown by the store, but never any payment details: payments are handled by Apple and Google. None of this identifies a person. The apps do not send names, contact details, photos, location, contacts or advertising identifiers.

We use this information only to keep the games working and to improve them ("support for internal operations"). We do not use it to build profiles, for advertising or to contact anyone.

Which store page or ad an install came from. When one of these apps is opened for the first time, it also tells our server how it was found, so that we can see which of our own ads in the App Store and Google Play work. On iPhone and iPad this is a one-time token from Apple’s AdServices framework: our server exchanges it at Apple for the campaign (or “not from an ad”) and then deletes the token. On Android it is the install referrer text from Google Play (for example “organic” or the ad campaign and click code). No advertising identifiers are used, children are not tracked across other companies’ apps, and the games never show ads. Google click codes are deleted after 90 days.

2.2 Harry Cards on iPhone and iPad

Versions 2.2 and earlier of Harry Cards for iPhone and iPad use the AppMetrica analytics service by YANDEX LLC to count app launches and crashes, and keep doing so on devices where the app has not been updated yet. AppMetrica may process the device type, operating system and app version, an app-specific device identifier and an approximate region derived from the IP address. We use these reports only for statistics and fixing errors, never for advertising. See the Yandex privacy policy. From version 2.3, Harry Cards for iPhone and iPad no longer contains AppMetrica and uses only our own analytics described in section 2.1.

2.3 HarryPhone and Harry: Kindergarten Games on iPhone and iPad

These apps do not collect or send any data to us.

2.4 Purchases

In-app purchases are processed by Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play) under their own terms and privacy policies. We never receive your name, e-mail or payment details. On iPhone and iPad, to confirm that a purchase is genuine, the app may send the purchase receipt issued by Apple to our server validate.harry-games.com, which checks it with Apple and returns the result. We use the receipt only for this check.

2.5 Things the apps never do

• show ads or use advertising networks;
• ask for permission to track (App Tracking Transparency) or read the advertising ID;
• have chats, social features, accounts or user-generated content;
• access the camera, microphone, contacts, photos or location.

3. Children's privacy

Our games are made for children under 13 and follow the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), the GDPR rules for children, Apple's Kids Category guidelines and Google Play's Families Policy. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. The random install number described above is used only for internal operations of the app, as allowed by COPPA.

Purchases and links that lead outside the game are protected by a parental gate: a simple task that a grown-up has to solve first.

If you believe we hold personal information about your child, write to info@harry-games.com and we will delete it.

4. The website

Like any website, our server keeps standard technical logs (IP address, time, requested page, browser type) for security and to fix errors; they are kept for a limited time and then deleted.

With your permission (the banner at the bottom of the page) we use Yandex Metrica to count visits and see which pages are useful. Metrica uses cookies. If you click "No, thanks", Metrica is not loaded. You can change your choice at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser.

With the same permission we also load the Google tag (Google LLC). We advertise our games in Google search, and the tag tells Google Ads when a visitor who came from our ad taps an App Store or Google Play button, so we can see which ads work. Google may set cookies and receive the page address, the click, the ad click code and an approximate location derived from the IP address. Remarketing, Google signals and ad personalization are turned off. See how Google uses this information. If you came from our Google ad, the Google Play button also passes the ad click code to the store, so the game can tell our server which ad the install came from (see section 2.1).

5. Who we share data with

We do not sell, rent or trade any data. Data is processed only by service providers that help us run the games:

• our hosting provider, which runs the harry-games.com servers;
• Apple and Google, for app distribution and purchases;
• YANDEX LLC, for AppMetrica in Harry Cards on iPhone/iPad (versions 2.2 and earlier) and, with your consent, Metrica on the website.

We may disclose information if the law requires it.

6. How long we keep data

Anonymous play statistics are kept for up to 24 months and then deleted. Server logs are kept for a limited time and then deleted. Data stored inside the app on the device (game progress, settings, purchase status) is deleted when you delete the app.

7. Security

All data is sent over an encrypted HTTPS connection. Access to our servers is limited to the people who maintain them.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example, in the EU, UK or California) you have the right to ask what data we hold, to have it corrected or deleted, and to object to its processing. Because the play statistics are anonymous, we usually cannot link them to you, but we will help with any request sent to info@harry-games.com. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.

9. Changes to this policy

If we change this policy, we will publish the new version on this page and update the date below. If the change is significant, we will also mention it in the app update notes.
