Privacy Policy for Ocean Frenzy

Last updated: November 09, 2026

Welcome to Ocean Frenzy, developed and operated by Ticherhaz ("we", "our", or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how our mobile game collects, uses, protects, and discloses information when you install and play Ocean Frenzy on Android devices.

Summary: Ocean Frenzy does not require account registration or collect personally identifiable information (such as your real name, physical address, email, or contacts). We use trusted third-party services (such as Google AdMob, Google Play In-App Billing, and Firebase) to power in-game advertisements, process virtual item purchases, maintain global leaderboards, and ensure secure game operation.

1. Information We Collect and Process

When you play Ocean Frenzy, certain data is automatically processed or stored either locally on your device or via integrated third-party SDKs:

  • Game Progress & Local Preferences: High scores, diver callsigns, unlocked shark skins/apex tiers, audio preferences, and frame rate settings (60Hz / 120Hz) are saved locally on your device via encrypted Android Jetpack DataStore.
  • Leaderboard & Duel Data: When participating in online leaderboards or sharing custom friend duel seeds, your diver callsign and game score are processed through Firebase Realtime Database.
  • Device & Diagnostics Information: Anonymous hardware identifiers, device model, operating system version, and general network state to guarantee optimal performance, frame pacing, and crash reporting.
  • Advertising Identifiers (Google Advertising ID / AD_ID): Used by Google AdMob to deliver relevant non-personalized or personalized advertisements, frequency capping, and ad fraud detection.

2. Third-Party Services and SDKs

Ocean Frenzy integrates the following third-party services that may collect information according to their respective privacy policies:

  • Google Play Services: Core game distribution, runtime security, and update checks. (Google Privacy Policy)
  • Google AdMob: Serves banner, interstitial, and rewarded revive video advertisements. (Google Ads Privacy)
  • Google Play In-App Billing: Handles secure purchase transactions for VIP Subscriptions and Ad-Free upgrades. We never receive or store your financial, debit, or credit card details.
  • Firebase Realtime Database: Synchronizes community high scores and leaderboard standings. (Firebase Privacy Information)

3. In-App Purchases and Subscriptions

All financial transactions are conducted strictly through Google Play's secure payment gateway. We verify purchase tokens and digital signatures using Android Keystore cryptographic safeguards to ensure anti-tamper security. Entitlements (e.g., VIP membership, ad removal) are synced securely to your Google Play account.

4. Children's Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Ocean Frenzy is an arcade game intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13 (or under 16 in the European Economic Area). If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information to us, please contact us immediately, and we will take prompt steps to delete any such data.

5. Security of Your Information

We prioritize player data integrity. Cleartext network traffic is disabled (android:usesCleartextTraffic="false"). In-game purchases and game entitlement states are secured via cryptographic checks. Any local game settings remain isolated within the application's private sandbox storage.

6. Your Rights and Data Management

You have full control over your in-game data:

  • Resetting Game Data: You can clear your locally saved scores, unlocked items, and callsigns at any time via Android System Settings > Apps > Ocean Frenzy > Storage > Clear Storage / Clear Data.
  • Advertising Opt-Out: You can reset or delete your Google Advertising ID on Android devices via Settings > Google > Ads > Delete advertising ID.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in game features, legal obligations, or service provider terms. Any modifications will be posted to this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
