Overview

Nomster.io ("the App") is developed by Kevin Merz ("we", "us", or "our"). This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our iOS application.

The short version: there is no account with us, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking. Your name, your progress and your settings are stored on your device. Five things can go beyond it, each through Apple or because you chose to do it: a copy of your progress in your own iCloud, if you use iCloud; your best results, if you use Game Center; your purchases, which Apple handles; an email, if you send us feedback; and a result card, if you share one. We never receive any of it.

Data Collection

We collect nothing about you. Specifically:

• We do not collect personal information
• We do not collect usage analytics or crash data of our own
• We do not track your behavior, in the App or across other apps and websites
• We show no advertising and use no advertising identifier
• We run no servers that receive your name, your progress or your results
• We have no account system
• We do not collect location data

Where Your Data Is Stored

The App keeps the following in its own storage on your device: the player name you choose, your level, experience points and coins, your records and statistics, your missions and daily streak, the looks you own and wear, and your settings. It never sends any of this to us.

Like other app data, it is part of your device backup if you have backups turned on, and the copy on the device is deleted when you delete the App. The App uses your device's region setting to suggest the arena region and a name when you start for the first time; that setting stays on the device as well.

iCloud

If you are signed in to iCloud on your device, the App also keeps a copy of your game progress in your own iCloud account, using Apple's iCloud key-value storage: your player name, level, experience points and coins, records and statistics, missions and daily streak, and the looks you own and wear. This copy is what brings your progress back after you reinstall the App, and what makes it the same on your other devices with the same Apple Account. Your settings (sound, vibration, controls) stay on each device.

The copy is stored by Apple in your iCloud account, and Apple's privacy policy applies to it. We cannot see it, read it or delete it, and it is never sent to us. It stays in your iCloud when you delete the App, so that your progress is there again when you install it again.

Internet Connection

The App needs an internet connection to play. To know whether one is available, it asks the system for the network status. This check happens on the device and sends nothing to us or to anyone else.

Game Center

If you are signed in to Game Center, the App sends your best results (for example your highest mass and the rounds you won) to the Game Center leaderboards, where they appear with your Game Center profile. Game Center is operated by Apple, and Apple's privacy policy applies to it. We cannot see your Apple Account. You can sign out of Game Center at any time in the Settings app; the App then keeps your results on the device only.

In-App Purchases

The App offers optional one-time purchases through the App Store. Purchase transactions are processed entirely by Apple. The App asks Apple's StoreKit on your device what you own; nothing about a purchase is sent to us. We do not have access to your payment information, Apple Account or billing details.

Feedback by Email

If you choose to send us feedback, your mail app opens with a prepared email to us. Below your text it contains these technical details, so that we can understand a problem: the App's version and build number, your system version, your device model, your preferred languages, the App's language, your region setting and your time zone. You see all of it before sending and can change or delete any of it. Nothing is sent unless you send the email yourself. We use your email only to answer you and to fix problems, and we delete it when it is no longer needed for that.

Sharing a Result

After a first place or a new record, the App can create a picture of your result on your device. It goes only where you send it with the system share sheet, and we do not receive a copy.

Ratings

After a few days of playing, the App may ask whether you like it. Your answer is stored only on your device. If you would like to rate the App, the rating is handled by Apple's own rating prompt or the App Store.

Third-Party Services

The App does not integrate with any advertising, analytics or tracking services. The only services it uses are Apple's own: the App Store and StoreKit for purchases, iCloud to keep a copy of your progress, and Game Center if you use it.

If you download the App from the App Store, Apple may collect certain information as described in its privacy policy. We do not have access to this data.

Children's Privacy

The App has no accounts, no advertising, no tracking and no free-text chat, and it collects no personal information. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Who Is Responsible, and Your Rights

Controller in the sense of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):
Kevin Merz, Merowingerweg 11a, 59494 Soest, Germany
Email: MerzKevin@me.com

Legal bases. When you email us, we process your message and the details in it to answer your request, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, and to fix problems in the App, which is our legitimate interest, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Nothing else reaches us.

Your rights. You have the right of access (Art. 15), to rectification (Art. 16), to erasure (Art. 17), to restriction of processing (Art. 18), to data portability (Art. 20) and to object (Art. 21). Because we hold no account and nothing that identifies you, there is usually nothing for us to hand over or delete: your game data is on your device and, if you use iCloud, in your own iCloud account, which we cannot access. Deleting the App deletes the copy on the device. Write to the address above if you want to exercise any of these rights, and we will answer within one month.

Complaints. You can complain to a supervisory authority. The one responsible for us is Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit Nordrhein-Westfalen, Kavalleriestr. 2-4, 40213 Düsseldorf, Germany. You may also go to the authority where you live or work.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Your continued use of the App after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

Acceptance of Terms

By downloading, installing, or using Nomster.io ("the App"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to these terms, do not use the App. Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies to the App.

License

Kevin Merz grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for your personal, non-commercial entertainment, subject to these Terms of Use. You may not reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of the App, and you may not modify the App or use tools that change how it plays.

In-App Purchases

The App offers optional one-time purchases (Nom+, skin packs and a bundle). There is no subscription. Purchased items are cosmetic or double the experience points and coins you earn; none of them changes the rules of the game or makes your cell stronger. All purchases are processed through the App Store and are subject to Apple's terms and conditions. You can restore your purchases on another device with the same Apple Account using "Restore purchases" in the App. Refund requests must be directed to Apple; content from a refunded purchase is removed from the App.

Coins

Coins are earned only by playing. They cannot be bought, sold, transferred or exchanged for money or anything outside the App, and they have no cash value. They are part of your game data (on your device, and in your own iCloud if you use it) and are lost if that data is deleted.

Internet Connection and Game Center

You need an internet connection to play. Any costs of your connection are yours. Game Center is a service of Apple, and Apple's terms apply to it.

Disclaimer of Warranties

THE APP IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND COMPATIBILITY WITH ANY SPECIFIC DEVICE OR OPERATING SYSTEM VERSION. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS.

Nothing in these Terms limits your statutory rights as a consumer, including the statutory warranty rights that apply to digital products in the European Union.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, KEVIN MERZ SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR THE LOSS OF GAME PROGRESS, COINS, RECORDS OR STATISTICS, ARISING FROM THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE APP. IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR THE APP AND ITS IN-APP PURCHASES.

These limitations do not apply to liability for intent or gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, or under mandatory product liability law.

Intellectual Property & Copyright

The App, including its graphics, sounds, characters and names, is the intellectual property of Kevin Merz. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

Termination

We may end or suspend your license if you breach these Terms. Upon termination, all licenses and rights granted to you cease. Your statutory rights remain unaffected.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.

Entire Agreement

These Terms of Use, together with the Privacy Policy above, constitute the entire agreement between you and Kevin Merz regarding the use of the App.

Modifications

We may modify these Terms of Use. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the App after any changes constitutes acceptance of the modified terms.

Governing Law & Jurisdiction

These Terms shall be governed by the laws of Germany, without regard to conflict of law principles. If you are a consumer within the European Union, the mandatory consumer protection rules of your country of residence remain applicable, and you may also bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence.
