Privacy Policy for Lavalord

Effective date: 2026-06-07 · Last updated: 2026-06-07

Lavalord is a real-time multiplayer game. We've tried to collect as little as possible: there is no account system, no login, and no sign-up. This policy explains the data the Game does touch, why, and your choices.

Who we are

Lavalord is developed and published by littlepac. For any privacy question or request, contact us at support.lavalord@gmail.com.

Summary

• No account, no email, no real name required to play.
• We use Unity Gaming Services to connect players for online matches. This necessarily processes your device's IP address (to route the match) and an anonymous, randomly-generated player ID.
• We show ads between matches via Google AdMob, which may process an advertising identifier and device information. On supported devices you are asked for consent first.
• A display name you choose (or an auto-generated default like player-1a2b) is shown to the other players in your match.
• We do not sell your personal data.

Information we process

1. Multiplayer networking data (Unity Gaming Services).

To play online, the Game uses Unity Gaming Services (UGS) — specifically Relay, Lobby, and Anonymous Authentication. When you host or join an online match:

• Your device's IP address is processed by the Relay service to route game traffic between players. Matches run peer-to-peer with one player acting as host.
• An anonymous authentication ID (a random identifier, not tied to your real identity) is issued so the services can recognise your session.
• A short lobby/room code and the per-match lobby state (who is connected, chosen colours, ready status) are exchanged between players.

This data is processed by Unity Technologies as a service provider. See Unity's privacy policy: https://unity.com/legal/privacy-policy

2. Display name.

You may set a display name (default: an auto-generated name such as player-1a2b). It is stored locally on your device and transmitted to the other players in your match so they can see who's who. Choose a name you're comfortable sharing with other players. It is not used to identify you outside a match.

3. Advertising data (Google AdMob).

The Game shows a full-screen ad between matches. Ads are served by Google AdMob, which may collect and process a device advertising identifier, IP-derived coarse location, and device/diagnostic information to deliver and measure ads.

• In regions that require it (e.g. the EEA/UK), you are shown a consent message (via Google's User Messaging Platform) before personalized ads are used; you may decline, in which case ads are non-personalized.
• On iOS, you may be asked via Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt whether to allow tracking; if you decline, ads are non-personalized.
• You can reset or limit your advertising identifier in your device settings.

See Google's policies: https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://support.google.com/admob/answer/6128543 (how Google uses data).

4. Purchases (if/when offered).

If in-app purchases are offered (e.g. "remove ads"), the transaction is handled by the Apple App Store or Google Play billing system. We receive confirmation of what was purchased so we can unlock it, but we do not receive or store your payment-card details — those stay with Apple/Google.

5. Local device storage.

Game preferences (your display name, settings, and a locally-generated random seed used only to create your default name) are stored on your device and are not transmitted to us, except where noted above (your display name is shared with other players in a match).

What we do NOT collect

• We do not collect your real name, email address, phone number, or precise GPS location.
• We do not require or operate a login/account system.
• We do not sell your personal data.

Children

Lavalord is a combat game (cartoon/fantasy knockback) and is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your region). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will address it.

Your choices and rights

• Ads consent: where shown, you can decline personalized ads via the consent prompt; on iOS, via the App Tracking Transparency prompt.
• Advertising ID: reset or limit it in your device's privacy settings.
• Local data: uninstalling the Game removes locally-stored preferences from your device.
• Depending on your region (e.g. GDPR in the EEA/UK, CCPA/CPRA in California), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data processed about you, and to object to certain processing. To make a request, contact us at support.lavalord@gmail.com. Requests that concern data held by Unity or Google as service providers may be directed to them under their policies above.

Data retention

We retain only what is necessary for the purposes above. Networking data (IP/relay routing) is processed transiently to run matches; anonymous service identifiers persist only as long as the services require. Locally-stored preferences remain on your device until you delete them or uninstall the Game.

International transfers

Unity and Google may process data on servers located in various countries. Their respective policies (linked above) describe the safeguards they apply.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the Game evolves (for example, when a new feature changes what data is processed). We will update the "Effective date" above and, for material changes, take reasonable steps to notify players.
