Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Jimmy Jax (“we”, “us”) is the developer of the mobile game Galaxy Garage and operates the website jimmyjax.com. We are the data controller under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for the processing described in this policy. For the processing that Google carries out itself (see sections 4, 7 and 8), Google is also responsible in its own right.

Contact: info@jimmyjax.com

2. What this policy covers

• The game Galaxy Garage for Android (package name com.galaxygarage.game), as distributed through Google Play;
• the website jimmyjax.com;
• any contact you have with us by email.

3. Data we collect ourselves

We collect no personal data ourselves through the game. Galaxy Garage:

• does not ask for an account, name, email address or phone number;
• does not send game data to servers run by Jimmy Jax (we don’t have any);
• contains no analytics or tracking software of our own;
• does not ask for access to your location, contacts, camera, microphone or files;
• contains no in-app purchases.

Your progress (credits, ships, parts, pilots, ranks, badges) and your settings (sound, language, text size, notifications) are stored only locally on your device. We cannot see this data.

4. Ads through Google AdMob

Galaxy Garage is free. To keep developing it, we show ads through Google AdMob, a service of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) and Google LLC. We only use rewarded video ads: you only see an ad when you tap to watch one, for example to get extra energy, to double your daily gift or to double your prize money. The game shows no banners and no unrequested ads.

What data Google processes

The Google Mobile Ads SDK in the game may collect the following data and send it to Google:

• Device identifiers: the Android advertising ID (and, on supported devices, Privacy Sandbox on Android signals such as Topics and Attribution);
• IP address, from which Google may derive an approximate location (such as country or city);
• device and app information, such as device model, operating system, language, screen size and app version;
• ad interactions, such as which ad was shown and whether you watched or tapped it;
• diagnostic data, such as crash logs and SDK performance.

Purposes

• serving and measuring ads and granting the in-game reward;
• preventing fraud, abuse and security issues;
• if you have consented: personalising ads based on your interests.

Legal basis

In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland we ask for your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) for personalised ads and for storing or accessing information on your device. If you do not consent, Google may still show non-personalised or limited ads, which are based on context (such as the app and your approximate location) and are used for measurement and fraud prevention on the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR): offering the game for free and preventing abuse.

Ad content

We have set AdMob to a maximum ad content rating suitable for a broad audience (PG). Ads for mature content are filtered out as far as possible.

• My Ad Center (manage personalised ads in your Google Account)

5. Consent and your privacy choice

In the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, the game shows a Google consent screen on first launch (User Messaging Platform, registered with the IAB Transparency & Consent Framework). There you choose whether Google and its advertising partners may use your data for personalised ads.

You can change or withdraw your choice at any time in the game via Settings → Privacy → Ad privacy settings. Withdrawing does not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal.

You can also, in Android itself:

• reset or delete your advertising ID: Settings → Privacy → Ads (the exact name differs per device);
• manage or turn off Privacy Sandbox features: Settings → Privacy → Ad privacy.

6. Notifications

The game can send local notifications, for example when your energy is full again or your daily gift is ready. These notifications are scheduled on your device itself; no data is sent to us or to third parties for this. The game asks for permission once. You can turn notifications off in the game via Settings → Vibration and notifications or in Android’s app settings.

7. Backup through Google Play Games (optional)

In the Play Store version, the game can back up your progress through Google Play Games Services. This only happens if you choose to do so in Settings → Back-up (Google Play Games) and sign in with Google Play Games. Your save game is then stored in the storage of your own Google Account (“Saved Games”). We do not receive your email address and have no access to your Google Account. Google uses your Play Games profile (such as your gamer name) to sign you in; the Google Privacy Policy applies to this. You can manage or delete your saved game data in the Google Play Games app settings or in your Google Account.

8. Google Play

When you download Galaxy Garage, Google Play processes data about your download and installation under the Google Privacy Policy. If you have chosen in Android to share usage and diagnostics data, we can see anonymised and aggregated statistics in the Google Play Console, such as install numbers and crash reports (without name or contact details). We use these only to improve the game.

9. App permissions

10. This website and email

Website

Jimmyjax.com sets no cookies, uses no analytics or trackers, and loads no fonts, scripts or videos from third parties. As with any website, our hosting provider records technical data in server logs, such as your IP address, the time, the page requested and your browser type. This is needed to run and secure the site (legitimate interest). These logs are used only for security and troubleshooting and are deleted automatically after a short period.

Email

If you email us, we use your email address and the content of your message only to answer your question and help you. We keep this correspondence no longer than necessary and at most 12 months after your question has been resolved, unless the law requires us to keep it longer.

11. Transfers outside the EEA

Google may process data in countries outside the European Economic Area, including the United States. Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and also uses the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. See Google Business Data Responsibility for more information.

12. Retention

• Game data on your device: until you restart the game from scratch or uninstall it.
• Ad data: Google keeps this under its own retention periods, see How Google retains data.
• Backup in Google Play Games: until you delete it yourself.
• Email: at most 12 months after resolution.
• Website server logs: briefly, for security only.

13. Children

Galaxy Garage is suitable for a broad audience, but it is not specifically directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you are under 16, ask a parent or guardian to look along when the game asks for consent for ads. If you are a parent and believe your child has shared data with us anyway (for example by email), please contact us and we will delete it.

14. Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and objection, and the right to withdraw consent. Because we do not collect data through the game ourselves, we have no game data about you to provide; your game data is on your own device. For data processed by Google, use your Google Account and the settings in section 5.

To exercise a right or ask a question, email info@jimmyjax.com. We respond within one month. If you disagree with how we handle your data, you can lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) or the supervisory authority in your country.

15. Deleting your data

Galaxy Garage has no account, so there is no account to delete. This is how you delete your data:

• Erase progress: Settings → Progress → Reset progress in the game, or uninstall the app (Android then deletes all local game data).
• Backup in Google Play Games: delete the saved game data in the Google Play Games app or in your Google Account.
• Advertising ID: reset or delete it in Android settings.
• Email: ask us at info@jimmyjax.com to delete your correspondence.

See also Delete your data on the support page.

16. Security

This website is only available over an encrypted connection (HTTPS). Data sent by the Google Mobile Ads SDK is encrypted in transit. Because we store no personal data from the game ourselves, it cannot leak from us either.

17. Changes

We update this privacy policy when the game or the law changes, for example when we add a new service. The date at the top shows when it was last changed. We will also announce important changes in the game.
