Counterwave privacy.

Scope: This notice covers the Counterwave application for iPhone, published by Harold Digital LLC. The company website has its own website privacy notice.

The short version

The game itself collects no personal information and requires no account. Your progress is stored only on your device. Advertising is provided by Google AdMob, which processes some device data to show and measure ads — in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland only according to the choices you make in the consent dialog. Buying Remove Ads goes through Apple; we never see your payment details.

Data stored on your device

Campaign progress, scores, stars, crystals, daily streaks, mission progress, theme unlocks, and settings are saved locally on your device and are not transmitted to Harold Digital or anyone else. Deleting the app deletes this data. The optional daily reminder is a local notification scheduled on your device; nothing about it leaves your phone.

Advertising through Google AdMob

Counterwave shows ads through Google AdMob, a service of Google LLC. To serve and measure ads and to prevent fraud, Google may process data such as your device's advertising identifier, IP address, approximate location derived from IP, and how you interact with ads.

If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, a consent dialog is shown before any ad-related processing, and ads are personalized or non-personalized according to your choices. You can review or change your choices at any time in Settings → Privacy Options inside the game.

Purchasing Remove Ads permanently disables interstitial advertising. Optional watch-an-ad bonuses remain available and only run when you choose to tap them.

Learn more about how Google processes data in the Google Privacy Policy and How Google uses data from apps that use its services.

Purchases

In-app purchases are processed entirely by Apple through the App Store. We receive no name, address, or payment information — only an anonymous confirmation that the purchase is owned, stored on your device so it keeps working offline.

Analytics

The game keeps a small technical event log (for example, that a level was retried) in memory on your device for debugging. It is not transmitted. We use no third-party analytics service beyond the ad measurement described above.

Children

Counterwave is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Ad requests are not tagged for child-directed treatment.

Your choices and rights

Because the game stores its data only on your device, most controls are in your hands: change ad consent in Settings → Privacy Options, disable the daily reminder, reset progress in Settings, or delete the app. For data processed by Google, the links above describe Google's controls, including ad personalization settings. If you are in the EEA or UK, you have the right to access, correct, delete, or object to processing of your personal data, and to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority.

Changes

If a future update changes these practices — for example, by adding a service that processes new data — this notice will be updated before that version ships, with a new effective date.
