Privacy Policy

Shark Waters is rated 8+. The game contains mild cartoon violence (sharks hunting fish and divers, boat combat) but no graphic realism or adult content. Players under 13 must obtain a parent or guardian's permission before creating an account and playing.

When you create an account and play Shark Waters, we collect:

• Username: the name you choose for your hunter profile.
• Email address: used for authentication and, if you opt in, for newsletters and updates.
• Game data: scores, shark kills, treasure collected, dive depth, level progression, currency, upgrades, and inventory.
• Leaderboard data: your username and stats may appear on public leaderboards.
• Technical data: browser type and device information for compatibility and analytics.

We use your information to:

• Create and manage your player profile and game progress.
• Display your stats on leaderboards and in the game.
• Send you emails if you have opted in to our newsletter.
• Improve game performance, fix bugs, and develop new features.
• Prevent cheating and enforce fair play.

We use your browser's local storage to remember your consent to this privacy policy, game settings (such as sound mute preference), and to improve your experience. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data to third parties. Game administrators may access your data to provide support, manage leaderboards, and maintain the game. Aggregated, non-identifiable analytics may be used to improve the game.

Shark Waters is designed for players aged 8 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 8. If a player is under 13, we require parental or guardian consent before account creation. Parents may request deletion of their child's data at any time by contacting us through the app.

You have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.

We use industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encrypted authentication tokens and secure database storage. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the updated policy within the app and updating the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the game after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy or your data, please contact Base44 support through the platform's help channels.
