Privacy Policy for Nova Protocol
Last updated: September 18, 2026
HTR Games ("we", "us", or "our") operates the mobile game Nova Protocol.
This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, processed, and shared when you use Nova Protocol.
1. Information We Collect
Nova Protocol itself does not require users to create an account or provide personal information such as a name, postal address, or phone number in order to play.
However, the app uses third-party services that may automatically collect certain information necessary to provide advertising, app functionality, diagnostics, purchases, security, and other services.
Depending on your device, region, consent choices, and the features you use, this information may include:
- Device information, such as device model, operating system version, language, and app version.
- Device or advertising identifiers, where permitted by the operating system and applicable law.
- IP address and general network information.
- App interactions and advertising interactions.
- Diagnostic information, crash information, and performance data.
- Information related to consent and privacy preferences.
- Information necessary to process and verify in-app purchases.
- Technical information used by Firebase services that are enabled in the app.
We do not intentionally collect payment card numbers or other complete payment credentials. Purchases are processed by Google Play.
2. Advertising
Nova Protocol uses Google AdMob to display advertisements, including rewarded advertisements and interstitial advertisements.
Google and its advertising partners may process information such as device identifiers, advertising identifiers, IP addresses, app interactions, ad impressions, ad clicks, and other technical information for purposes including:
- Delivering advertisements.
- Measuring advertising performance.
- Preventing fraud and abuse.
- Limiting advertising frequency.
- Providing personalized or non-personalized advertising where permitted.
Where required by law, Nova Protocol uses Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) to request and manage user consent and privacy choices before certain advertising data is processed.
Your advertising experience may depend on your region, device settings, consent choices, and applicable law.

3. Firebase
Nova Protocol uses Google Firebase services to support app functionality, reliability, security, online features, and other backend services.
Depending on which Firebase services are enabled, Firebase may process technical information such as:
- Device and app information.
- Operating system information.
- App installation information.
- Firebase SDK and version information.
- Diagnostic or service-related data.
- Network and technical identifiers necessary to provide Firebase services.
The exact information processed may vary depending on the Firebase features used by Nova Protocol.

4. In-App Purchases
Nova Protocol may offer optional digital purchases through Google Play Billing.
All payment transactions are processed by Google Play. We do not receive or store your complete credit card number, debit card number, or other complete payment credentials.
We may receive information from Google Play confirming whether a purchase was successfully completed, restored, refunded, or otherwise changed, where necessary to provide purchased digital content.
Google's handling of purchase and payment information is governed by Google's Privacy Policy:

5. Local Game Data
Nova Protocol stores certain game progress and settings locally on your device.
This may include information such as:
- Game progress.
- Unlocked content.
- Currency and upgrade progress.
- Game settings.
- Audio settings.
- Language preferences.
- Tutorial progress.
- Advertising-related game state, such as internal counters used to determine when an advertisement may be offered or displayed.
Local game data is used to provide and maintain your game progress and settings.
Some features may also use online services where required for their operation.
6. How We Use Information
Information processed by Nova Protocol and its service providers may be used to:
- Operate and provide the game.
- Maintain game progress and functionality.
- Provide online game features.
- Display and measure advertisements.

7. Sharing of Information
We do not sell users' personal information.
Information may be processed or shared with service providers that help operate Nova Protocol, including:
- Google AdMob.
- Google User Messaging Platform.
- Google Firebase.
- Google Play and Google Play Billing.
These providers process information according to their own privacy policies, contractual obligations, and applicable law.
Information may also be disclosed where required by law, legal process, or to protect users, our rights, or the security of the app.
8. Data Retention
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
Much of Nova Protocol's game progress is stored locally on the device and may be removed by uninstalling the app or clearing the app's local data.
Third-party service providers may retain information according to their own retention policies.
9. Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information handled in connection with Nova Protocol.
Data transmitted to Google services is generally protected in transit using secure network protocols.
However, no method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
10. Your Privacy Choices
Depending on your region and applicable law, you may have rights regarding your personal information.
Where required, Nova Protocol provides privacy and consent controls through Google's User Messaging Platform.
You may also be able to manage advertising-related settings through your Android device and Google account.
If a privacy options control is available in Nova Protocol, you may use it to review or update applicable advertising privacy choices.
