Aerohop Privacy Policy
- No account, no sign-in. We never ask for your name, email or phone number.
- Your game progress is saved only on your device.
- Ads are served by Google AdMob, which receives some device data to show and measure ads.
- We do not track you across other apps and websites, and we never ask for permission to.
- Purchases are handled by Apple. We never see your payment details.
- We do not sell your data.
1. Who we are
Aerohop is a mobile game made by Salem Albadi, an independent developer based in the United Arab Emirates ("we", "us"). For anything about this policy or your data, email salemstudio97@gmail.com.
2. Data stored on your device
Aerohop keeps a save file on your device with your progress (flights, stars, coins, planes, paints and upgrades), your sound and music settings, and whether you bought Remove Ads. We do not send this file to any server. Deleting the app deletes it, although it may stay in your own iCloud or computer backups of the device, which are managed by Apple and by you.
3. Advertising (Google AdMob)
Aerohop shows ads from Google AdMob: an optional rewarded ad that you choose to watch (for example, to repair your plane or double a fare), and a full-screen ad between flights unless you bought Remove Ads. To serve these ads, the Google Mobile Ads SDK in the app collects and sends to Google:
- your IP address, which Google uses to estimate your general location (country or city, not precise location);
- device information, such as model, operating system version, language and screen size;
- an identifier for this app on your device (the iOS "identifier for vendor"), used to limit how often you see the same ad and to prevent fraud;
- ad interaction data, such as which ads were shown and whether they were tapped;
- diagnostic, performance and crash data about the ads SDK.
Google uses this data to deliver ads, measure them, prevent fraud and improve its services. Aerohop does not request the iOS permission to track (App Tracking Transparency), so the Advertising Identifier (IDFA) is not available to the app or to Google, and Aerohop does not link your data with data from other companies' apps or websites for advertising.
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, Google's consent form asks for your choice before ads are personalized. To change that choice later, pause a flight and tap AD CHOICES, or contact us.
Learn more in Google's Privacy Policy and how Google uses information from apps that use its services.
4. In-app purchases
Remove Ads is sold through Apple's App Store. Apple processes the payment under Apple's Privacy Policy. The app receives only a confirmation that the purchase is valid. We never receive your card details, Apple Account email or billing address.
5. Sharing the game
If you tap Share, Aerohop opens your device's standard share sheet with a short message about the game. You choose where it goes. We do not see what you share or who you share it with.
6. What we do not do
- We do not run analytics or crash reporting of our own.
- We do not use your location, camera, microphone, contacts or photos.
- We do not sell personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
7. Children
Aerohop is a general-audience game and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the app, contact us and we will help remove it.
8. Legal basis and your rights
Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, ads are personalized only with your consent, and non-personalized ads, frequency limits and fraud prevention rely on our legitimate interest in funding a free game. Depending on where you live (including the EEA, the UK and California), you may have the right to access, correct or delete your personal data, to object to or restrict its processing, to withdraw consent, and to complain to your data protection authority. We do not store personal data on our own servers, so we usually cannot identify you. Requests about advertising data can be made to Google, and we will gladly help: email us and we will reply within 30 days. Using these rights will never change how the game works for you.
9. Where data goes and how long it is kept
Advertising data is processed by Google, which may handle it in the United States and other countries under its own safeguards and retention periods. We keep no copy of it.
10. Changes to this policy
If we change how Aerohop handles data, for example by adding a new service, we will update this page and its effective date before the change reaches the app.
