**EmuCool Privacy Policy** Last updated: March 12, 2026 EmuCool ("we", "us", or "our") operates the EmuCool mobile application (the "App"), a retro game emulator hub that allows you to play classic games on supported platforms. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect (if any), how we use it, and your choices regarding that information. Please read it carefully. **1. Information We Collect** The App is designed to be simple, offline-capable where possible, and does not require any user accounts, logins, registrations, or personal identifiers. We may collect only the following limited, non-personal information automatically when you use the App: - Device information: such as device type, operating system version, device model, and unique device identifiers (e.g., advertising ID or similar anonymized identifiers provided by the platform). - Usage data: such as app launch times, session duration, which emulated platforms or games are used, and general interaction patterns (e.g., taps, swipes). - Technical logs: such as crash reports, performance metrics, and error logs to help improve stability. Subscription-related data: If you use our optional paid subscription (EmuCool Pro), payment is processed entirely by Apple. We do not collect or store your payment details (e.g., card number or billing address). The App receives from Apple only whether your subscription is active and when it expires, so we can enable Pro features (e.g., premium filters, extra save slots). This subscription status is used only on your device and for the purposes described above. We do **not** collect: - Your name, email address, phone number, or any other personally identifiable information. - Precise location data. - Your payment details (payment is processed by Apple; we do not collect or store payment information). - Any content you create or input beyond gameplay itself (e.g., ROM files or save data remain on your device). No data is collected that can reasonably be used to identify you as an individual. **2. How We Use the Information** We use the limited information we collect solely to: - Provide, operate, and improve the App (e.g., fix bugs, optimize performance). - Understand general usage patterns to make the experience more reliable and enjoyable. - Generate anonymized analytics for internal purposes only. - Enable subscription benefits (e.g., Pro features) using subscription status provided by Apple, as described in Section 1. We do not use this information for marketing, profiling, behavioral advertising, or any purpose that identifies individual users. **3. Sharing of Information** We do not sell, rent, trade, or otherwise share your information with third parties for their own commercial purposes. We may share anonymized, aggregated data with analytics providers (if any are integrated) strictly for the purposes described above. These providers are contractually bound to use the data only for processing on our behalf and not for their independent use. In rare cases, we may disclose information if required by law, such as in response to a valid court order or government request. **4. Third-Party Services** The App may use certain third-party services or SDKs (e.g., for crash reporting, basic analytics, or platform features). Subscription purchases and restores are handled by Apple (StoreKit); Apple’s privacy policy and terms apply to those transactions. We do not receive or store your payment information from Apple. We do not currently integrate any advertising networks, social logins, or other services that require extensive data sharing. **5. Children's Privacy** The App is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age in your country), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at the address below. We will promptly delete such information. **6. Data Retention** We retain the limited technical and usage data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this policy, typically no longer than 12–24 months, after which it is anonymized further or deleted. **7. Your Choices and Rights** - You can stop all data collection by simply uninstalling the App. - On iOS, you can limit ad tracking via device settings ("Limit Ad Tracking"). - On Android, you can opt out of interest-based ads via device settings ("Opt out of Ads Personalization"). - Because we collect no personal data, most traditional data rights (access, deletion, portability) do not apply, as there is nothing identifiable to provide or delete. - You can manage or cancel your EmuCool Pro subscription at any time in your device Settings under your Apple ID → Subscriptions. **8. Security** We take reasonable measures to protect the limited data we process from loss, misuse, or unauthorized access. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. **9. Changes to This Privacy Policy** We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The updated version will be posted in the App and/or on our website (if available), with the "Last updated" date revised. Your continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. **10. Contact Us** If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us at: gamefan9688@qq.com Thank you for using EmuCool — we hope you enjoy your retro gaming experience.
