This Privacy Policy explains how Hi Status ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, shares and protects information when you install or use this game (the "Game"). It also explains the optional network-sharing feature, advertising services and Android permissions used by the Game.
1Information we and our partners may process
Game and technical information
- Game settings, consent choices, progress or reward events, and interactions with the Game.
- Device and app information, such as device model, operating-system version, language, app version, package identifier and SDK version.
- Network and diagnostic information, including IP address, connection type, timestamps, crash information, performance data and error logs.
- Advertising information, such as advertising identifiers where available, ad impressions, clicks, reward completion, frequency information and fraud-prevention signals.
- Approximate location inferred from an IP address. The manifest provided for this Game does not request Android precise or approximate location permission.
Remote configuration
The Game downloads a configuration file from our server. It may contain the popup heading and message, the Privacy Policy URL, advertising identifiers and a setting that determines whether the consent popup may be displayed. The hosting provider may automatically receive the IP address, request timestamp, app or device information normally included in a network request, and security logs.
2Optional network-sharing feature
The Game contains a third-party network-sharing component. If you choose ALLOW, this component may establish and maintain a network tunnel or proxy connection and may use your device as a network endpoint to route third-party internet requests. The service may continue while the Game is not actively visible and may display a persistent Android notification.
When the feature is enabled:
- Your public IP address may be visible to the network provider and to services contacted through the connection.
- A portion of your Wi-Fi or mobile-data bandwidth may be used. Your carrier or internet provider may charge you for that data.
- The service may consume battery, processing resources and background data, and may affect network performance.
- The network provider may process connection metadata such as IP address, connection time, amount of data transferred, network quality, device or app identifiers, diagnostic information and fraud or abuse signals.
- Network requests necessary to provide the service pass through the tunnel infrastructure. We do not intend to access or store the content of routed traffic, but the third-party provider may process information necessary to transmit, secure, monitor and prevent misuse of the service under its own terms and privacy practices.
The network-sharing feature does not require access to your contacts, photos, videos, microphone, camera, SMS messages or precise device location under the permissions listed below.
Your choice and control
- The feature must remain off until you receive an in-app disclosure and affirmatively select ALLOW.
- Selecting NOT NOW keeps the feature off.
- You may withdraw consent from the Game's Settings at any time. When consent is withdrawn, the tunnel must stop and must not restart unless you consent again.
- Uninstalling the Game also stops the service on that device.
- The remote configuration may hide the popup, but it cannot grant consent or silently enable network sharing.
3Advertising and rewarded ads
The Game may use Unity LevelPlay/ironSource and AppLovin to serve and measure advertisements, including rewarded ads. These providers and mediated advertising partners may collect or receive device information, IP address, advertising identifiers, approximate location derived from IP, app interactions, ad events and fraud-prevention information. Depending on your region and choices, this information may be used for contextual or interest-based advertising, ad measurement, attribution, frequency capping, reporting, security and fraud prevention.
Third-party privacy information:
Where required by law, we will request any legally required advertising consent before initializing SDKs or enabling personalized advertising. Privacy choices for advertising and the separate network-sharing choice must be handled independently where required.
4Why we process information
We and our service providers may process information to:
- Operate, secure, troubleshoot and improve the Game;
- Remember settings and consent choices;
- Deliver remote configuration and online functionality;
- Provide the optional network-sharing feature after consent;
- Serve, measure and reward advertisements;
- Detect fraud, abuse, invalid traffic and security incidents;
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce applicable terms.
5Android permissions and services
The current Android manifest declares the following permissions. Android permissions enable technical capabilities; they do not replace the consent described above.
| Permission or service | Purpose in the Game |
|---|---|
INTERNET | Connects to remote configuration, game services, advertising services and, only after consent, the network-sharing service. |
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE | Checks whether a network is available and what type of connection is active so network operations can be managed reliably. |
WAKE_LOCK | Allows limited processing to continue while required for active game, ad or consented foreground-service operations. This may affect battery use. |
POST_NOTIFICATIONS | Requests permission on supported Android versions to show notifications, including a visible foreground-service notification. You may deny this permission through Android settings, subject to Android system behavior. |
FOREGROUND_SERVICE | Allows an active service to continue with a user-visible notification when Android requires foreground execution. |
FOREGROUND_SERVICE_CONNECTED_DEVICE | Declares the Android connected-device foreground-service type used by the integrated service for continuous network-connected operation. |
CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE | Allows the integrated component to request permitted changes to network connectivity state needed to establish or maintain its connection. It does not give access to your mobile account or change your carrier plan. |
6When information is shared
Information may be shared with:
- Network-sharing and infrastructure providers that operate the optional tunnel;
- Advertising and mediation partners, including Unity LevelPlay/ironSource, AppLovin and enabled mediated ad networks;
- Hosting, analytics, crash-reporting, security and technical service providers;
- Authorities or other parties when required by law, necessary to protect rights and safety, investigate misuse, or complete a corporate transaction.
We do not sell personal information for money. Advertising-related processing may be considered a “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under some privacy laws. Where applicable, you may exercise opt-out rights through the Game's privacy controls, the relevant provider's controls, or by contacting us.
7Data retention
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, including security, fraud prevention, accounting, dispute resolution and legal compliance. Consent choices may remain locally on your device until you change them, clear app data or uninstall the Game. Third-party providers retain information according to their own privacy policies and legal obligations. You may contact us to request deletion of information controlled by us.
8Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards designed to protect information. However, no internet transmission, proxy connection or storage system is completely secure. Enabling network sharing introduces additional network activity and should be done only if you understand and accept the disclosure above.
9Children
The Game is not directed to children under 13, or the higher minimum age required in the user's country. The optional network-sharing feature is not intended for children and must not be enabled for a child user. If the Game is offered to a mixed-age audience, we will use an appropriate age-screening flow and will not initialize or use advertising or network-sharing services for a user identified as a child where prohibited. If you believe a child provided personal information, contact us so we can take appropriate action.
10International transfers
Our providers may process information in countries other than your own, including countries whose privacy laws may differ. Where required, the responsible provider will use legally recognized safeguards for international transfers.
11Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete or obtain a copy of personal information; object to or restrict processing; withdraw consent; and opt out of targeted advertising or certain sales or sharing. You may also complain to a privacy regulator. To submit a request, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your request and may direct you to a third-party provider for information it controls independently.
12Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy when the Game, SDKs, legal requirements or our practices change. We will update the “Last updated” date and provide additional notice where required. If a change materially affects an optional feature based on consent, we will request consent again where legally required.
