01 — Privacy Policy
How we handle your data
ForgeByte GameHub ("App") is developed and published by Saad Arshad, a solo Developer, under the Brand name "ForgeByte Tech" ("Developer", "we", "us", or "our"). By using the App, you agree to be bound by this policy. If you don't agree, please discontinue use and uninstall the App.
Information We Collect
ForgeByte GameHub does not directly collect, store, process, or maintain personal information from users of the App.
Any content you upload or provide to customize the App (User Content) remains stored only on your device. It is never transmitted to ForgeByte Tech or to any third-party service. We have no access to User Content and do not process or retain it.
The App integrates third-party services, including Google AdMob, which may automatically collect certain information for purposes such as advertising, fraud prevention, and service improvement. This may include:
- Advertising Identifier (GAID)
- IP address and approximate geographic location
- Device model, operating system, and language settings
- Advertising interactions (impressions, clicks, engagement)
- Technical and diagnostic data related to ad delivery
ForgeByte GameHub also uses Google Firebase Analytics to collect anonymous or pseudonymous information about how the App is used. This may include information such as games played, session duration, app interactions, device information, advertising identifiers (where applicable), and ad performance. This information is used to help us understand how users interact with the App, improve features and gameplay, measure performance, identify and fix issues, and enhance the overall user experience. We do not use this information to directly identify you.
ForgeByte Tech does not receive personally identifiable information from Google AdMob or Google Firebase Analytics. We receive only aggregated or pseudonymized analytics and reporting made available through these services.
Advertising
The App uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. Depending on your device settings, consent preferences, and applicable laws, AdMob may serve personalized or non-personalized ads using device identifiers and related technologies. Advertising revenue supports the development and maintenance of the App.
You can manage or disable personalized advertising through your device settings or Google account ad controls.
Third-Party Services
The App may contain third-party services such as Google AdMob and other external providers. Each operates under its own privacy policy and terms. ForgeByte Tech is not responsible for the data practices of these third parties.
Children's Privacy
The App is intended for users who are at least 13 years of age, or the minimum age required by applicable law in their jurisdiction. ForgeByte Tech does not knowingly collect personal information from children below the applicable minimum age — if such information is discovered, we'll take reasonable steps to delete it.
Third-party services integrated into the App, including Google AdMob, operate under their own privacy and compliance frameworks.
Data Security & Retention
ForgeByte Tech does not operate user accounts or servers that store personal data. Any information processed by third-party providers is handled under their respective security practices and policies.
ForgeByte Tech does not retain personal data collected through the App. Data collected by third-party services is retained according to their respective privacy policies. User Content remains solely on your device and is not retained by us in any form.
Your Rights & Policy Changes
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding personal data — including access, correction, deletion, restriction, or objection. Since ForgeByte Tech does not directly store user data, such requests should generally be directed to the relevant third-party providers, such as Google. You can also contact us for general privacy-related inquiries.
ForgeByte Tech may update this Privacy Policy from time to time, reflected by revising the effective date. Continued use of the App constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
