Privacy Policy

At TopHats, we develop Android applications and mobile games designed to enrich daily user lives with seamless performance and respect for user autonomy. This Privacy Policy informs you regarding our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when using our applications.

1. Information We Collect

Our applications are built following the principle of data minimization. We do not require you to provide personally identifiable information unless strictly required for core application functionality.

• Device Information: Device model, operating system version, anonymous hardware identifiers, and crash logs to troubleshoot technical bugs.
• Usage Metrics: Anonymous aggregated telemetry to understand app feature utilization and performance.
• Advertising ID: Standard Google Advertising ID (GAID) used in accordance with Google Play policies to serve non-intrusive advertisements.

2. Third-Party Services & Advertising

To support ongoing development, we may integrate reputable third-party SDKs that comply with Google Play standards:

• Google AdMob: For monetization and banner/interstitial advertising in compliance with Google developer policies.
• Firebase / Google Analytics: For crash diagnostics (Crashlytics) and anonymous app stability monitoring.
• Google Play In-App Billing: For secure digital purchases processed exclusively through Google Play Store.

3. Advertising Transparency (app-ads.txt)

TopHats strictly adheres to the IAB Tech Lab app-ads.txt standard to protect against digital ad fraud. Our AdMob publisher authorization can be verified at /app-ads.txt.

4. Children’s Privacy (COPPA Compliance)

Our general audience applications do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If you believe an app has unintentionally gathered information from a minor, please contact us immediately for prompt deletion.

5. Security of Your Data

We value your trust in using our applications. We employ industry-standard encryption protocols (HTTPS/TLS) and robust architecture patterns to safeguard device data.

6. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy periodically. You are advised to review this page occasionally for any revisions. Changes are effective immediately upon posting to this URL.
