In today’s digital world, privacy is more important than ever.

🔐 What Is a Privacy Policy?
A privacy policy is a legal document that explains how an app or game collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal data. It’s not just a formality — it’s a legal requirement under regulations like:
- GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation – Europe)
- CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act – USA)
- COPPA (Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act – USA)
For Android developers like Guide Play, having a clear privacy policy is also mandatory for publishing apps on Google Play.
🎮 Why Do Android Games Need a Privacy Policy?
Modern mobile games are more than just entertainment. They often include features like:
- In-app purchases
- Social media logins
- Multiplayer chat
- Reward systems
- Location tracking (especially in AR-based games)
All of these may require collecting certain types of user data. A privacy policy helps ensure transparency, trust, and compliance with global laws.
