2. Which data does the app process?

• Location data: The app may use approximate and precise location data to load nearby virtual lands/territories on the map and enable location-based gameplay actions.
• Player ID: The app creates a random player ID locally for guest play. This ID is not a real name and is used to technically assign territory ownership and game progress.
• Google account information: If you choose to sign in with Google, the app may process your Google account ID, display name, email address and profile picture URL to identify your kingdom and support future account-based features.
• Gameplay actions: When a territory is captured, the territory ID and player ID may be sent to the game server.
• Map data: The app loads map tiles from OpenStreetMap or OpenStreetMap-related services so the game map can be displayed.
• Technical connection data: When map or server data is requested, technically necessary connection data such as IP address, time and requested URL may be processed.

3. What is the data used for?

• Displaying the game world and virtual territories around the player.
• Enabling location-based gameplay mechanics.
• Saving and restoring territory ownership in the game.
• Identifying the player through optional Google sign-in for account-based features.
• Providing the map view through OpenStreetMap-related services.
• Maintaining reliable and stable app functionality.

Location data is not used for advertising and is not sold.

4. Server and data transfer

The app may contact the Kingdoms GPS RPG server to provide the game world and gameplay functionality.

Location coordinates for nearby territory search, the random player ID and territory IDs may be transferred for gameplay actions.

Data transfer takes place via HTTPS.

5. Advertising, purchases and tracking

• The app currently contains no advertising.
• The app currently contains no in-app purchases.
• The app currently does not use an advertising ID for personalized ads.
• The app may offer optional Google sign-in. You can still access the current game build as a guest.
• The app currently does not provide chat functionality.

6. Permissions

The app may request the following Android permissions:

• Approximate/precise location: required for GPS-based gameplay mechanics and nearby map/territory display.
• Internet: required to load map data and game-world data.

If location permission is denied, the app may use a fallback position, but location-based functions will be limited.

7. Storage and deletion

The random player ID is stored locally on the device and can be removed by uninstalling the app. Server-side game state or territory assignments may be technically necessary to provide the game.

You can use the contact address above for deletion or access requests.

8. Third-party services

OpenStreetMap or OpenStreetMap-related map services are used to display the map. When map tiles are loaded, technical connection data may be transferred to the relevant map service.

Google Play may process its own data in connection with app distribution according to Google’s policies. If you choose Google sign-in, Google also provides authentication and account profile information to the app according to Google’s sign-in and account policies.
