Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 10/14/2026‍ ‍

Elmwood Nexus LLC ("we", "us", "our") operates mobile games, including PLAYCALLER: Roguelike Football (each, "the Game", and together, "the Games"). This Privacy Policy applies to all of our mobile games and explains what information is collected when you use the Games, how it is used, and the choices you have.

1. Information We Collect

Display Name. The optional leaderboard name you choose. It is visible to other players. Names are checked for prohibited content (profanity, contact information, links) before being accepted.

Player Identifier. A random identifier is created automatically for your game installation so scores and gameplay records can be associated with it. This identifier is pseudonymous, meaning it can connect your activity across runs without requiring your real identity. No email, phone number, real name, or personal login is required to play.

Game Statistics. Gameplay data such as scores, streaks, difficulty level, selected modifiers, and related gameplay statistics are stored for leaderboards and your in-game profile. Your chosen jersey number and colors are stored so that your leaderboard entry displays correctly.

Gameplay Telemetry. In PLAYCALLER, we collect run checkpoints and gameplay information, including formations, drawn routes, selected cards, player attributes, defensive assignments, pass and kick inputs, scoring events, and play outcomes. We also record save and resume events, interruptions, and information used to check run consistency.

For runs that reach 25 touchdowns, we may upload run checkpoints and detailed game-state recordings, including information recorded earlier in the run. Detailed recordings from runs ending below 25 touchdowns are not uploaded. Leaderboard score submissions are independent of this threshold.

Device and Advertising Information. Our advertising partner may collect device identifiers (such as the iOS Advertising Identifier / IDFA and the Android Advertising ID), IP address, approximate location, and usage data in order to serve and measure ads.

Optional Private Feedback. When you submit feedback, we collect your message, player identifier, app version, platform, and submission time to investigate issues and improve the game. Feedback is private and is not used for advertising. We store a keyed network-address hash rather than your raw IP address to prevent abuse. Feedback is deleted from the active database after 90 days.

Anonymous Share Usage. We collect anonymous counts of Share usage, including opening the share menu, completion or destination selection reported by the operating system, cancellations, exports, and failures. We do not collect recipients, destination app names, shared image contents, or player identifiers for these counts. Daily aggregates are retained for up to one year; random event IDs used to prevent duplicate counting are deleted after three calendar days. Network information is processed transiently for rate limiting.

We do not require your real name, email address, phone number, or contact list to play. If you contact us for support, we collect the information you voluntarily provide, including your email address and message. Player reports include the relevant player identifiers and report reason. Please do not include personal or contact information in optional feedback.

3. Advertising

The Games display ads served by Google AdMob (Google LLC). Google may collect and process device identifiers, IP address, approximate location, and usage data to serve personalized or non-personalized ads and to measure ad performance. Learn more about how Google uses this data:

Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

How Google uses information from apps that use its services: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

Consent. We use Google's User Messaging Platform to obtain the consent or preferences required in your region before serving personalized ads:

European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland (GDPR): you will be asked to consent before any personalized ads or ad-related data processing occur. You may decline; the Games remain fully playable.

United States (e.g., California / CCPA-CPRA and similar state laws): you are provided with the applicable opt-out choices regarding the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for targeted advertising.

Apple App Tracking Transparency (iOS): on iOS, the Game requests your permission before any tracking that uses the Advertising Identifier. You may decline without affecting gameplay.

Non-personalized ads may still involve data processing. Advertising and tracking choices do not automatically disable the gameplay data processing described in this policy.

4. Data Storage, Processors, and Retention

Leaderboard entries and submitted game statistics are stored on secure cloud infrastructure operated by Cloudflare, Inc. (https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/). Advertising data is processed by Google as described above. Settings, collection records, career statistics, saved runs, and pending submissions are stored locally on your device. Some associated information, including gameplay statistics and saved-run checkpoints, is also transmitted to our servers. Detailed gameplay recordings and internal integrity flags are not displayed on public leaderboards.

We retain leaderboard and gameplay information for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the Games, provide player records, diagnose problems, investigate abuse, and meet legal obligations. Detailed gameplay recordings may be removed as storage is managed. Records associated with ongoing runs or integrity investigations may be retained longer. Deletion requests are subject to applicable legal requirements and exceptions.

5. Your Choices and Rights

You may choose not to set a display name. Your scores then will not be submitted to public leaderboards, but other gameplay telemetry may still be collected and uploaded.

You may decline personalized-ads consent (EEA/UK) or opt out (US), and you may decline ad tracking on iOS when prompted.

Uninstalling the Game generally removes local data, subject to platform backup and restoration behavior. It does not automatically delete information already stored on our servers. To request deletion of server-held information, contact hello@elmwoodnexus.com.

To request access to or deletion of data associated with your player identifier or display name, contact us at hello@elmwoodnexus.com. Depending on your location, you may have additional rights under the GDPR (access, correction, erasure, restriction, objection, and withdrawal of consent) or U.S. state privacy laws.

6. Children's Privacy

The Games are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

7. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected in the Effective Date above.
