Privacy Policy

Bengigi Studio Apps, Games, Websites, and Services

1. Introduction

Bengigi Studio ("Bengigi", "we", "our", or "us") creates and operates mobile apps, games, websites, and related services (together, the "Services"). This general Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect information when you use a Bengigi product.

Some Bengigi products have their own privacy policy because they collect different data or provide account, gallery, or community features. If a product-specific policy is available, that product-specific policy controls for that product. For example, Photaf Panorama has a dedicated policy at www.photaf.com/privacy.

2. Information We May Collect

Individual apps may collect only some of the categories below, depending on the features you use, your platform, app version, device settings, region, and whether ads, analytics, accounts, purchases, or online features are enabled.

Category	Examples	Purpose
Device and app information	Device model, operating system, app version, language, country or approximate region, crash logs, diagnostics, performance data.	Run the app, fix bugs, improve compatibility, prevent abuse, and support users.
Gameplay or app usage data	Level progress, scores, achievements, session events, preferences, settings, and feature interactions.	Save progress, balance gameplay, improve features, troubleshoot problems, and understand aggregate usage.
Advertising data	Advertising identifiers, ad impressions, ad clicks, approximate location, device signals, and consent choices handled by advertising networks where ads are shown.	Deliver, measure, limit, personalize, or prevent fraud in ads, depending on your settings and consent choices.
Analytics data	Aggregate visits, screen views, feature usage, referrers, and basic technical data.	Understand how Services are used, improve performance, and prioritize maintenance.
Account or profile data	Name, email address, user ID, profile picture, sign-in token data, or platform account identifiers if an app supports sign-in.	Authenticate users, provide online features, restore progress, support account controls, and respond to privacy requests.
Purchases and entitlement data	Purchase token, product ID, subscription or entitlement status, transaction status, and app store receipt metadata.	Verify purchases, unlock paid features, prevent fraud, and provide support. We do not receive your full payment card details from app stores.
User content	Photos, images, captions, names, messages, uploads, reports, or other content you choose to submit in products that support these features.	Provide sharing, gallery, community, moderation, support, or other requested features.
Optional sensitive permissions	Camera, photos/media, microphone, precise or approximate location, contacts, storage, or motion sensors where a specific app feature needs them.	Provide the feature you choose to use. App permissions can usually be controlled through your device settings.
Support and legal communications	Email address, message content, attachments, screenshots, diagnostic details, copyright or abuse reports.	Respond to requests, investigate issues, provide support, and keep records required for legal or safety reasons.

4. Third-Party Services

Depending on the product and platform, Bengigi Services may use third-party services that process information under their own terms and privacy policies. These may include:

App platforms: Google Play, Apple App Store, Microsoft Store, Game Center, Google Play Games, or related platform services.
Advertising: Google AdMob, Google AdSense, or other ad networks and mediation partners where ads are enabled.
Analytics and diagnostics: Firebase, Google services, Bengigi-hosted analytics, crash reporting, or similar tools.
Infrastructure: hosting, cloud storage, database, email, security, content delivery, and support providers.
Payment and purchases: app stores and payment processors that handle purchases, subscriptions, refunds, and receipts.

Third-party services may collect data directly from your device or browser. Their processing is governed by their own policies. For Google services, see Google Privacy Policy and Google advertising information.

5. Advertising and Choices

Some Bengigi apps and websites are free or ad-supported. Advertising partners may process advertising identifiers, cookies, device information, approximate location, ad interactions, and consent choices to deliver, measure, prevent fraud in, and, where allowed, personalize ads.

You can often limit ad personalization or reset advertising identifiers through your device settings. In regions where consent is required, you may see a consent prompt or privacy settings control provided by the app, platform, or advertising partner.

6. Sharing and Disclosure

We may share information:

With service providers: vendors that help operate hosting, analytics, advertising, payments, authentication, support, security, storage, and email.
With app platforms: to support distribution, purchases, entitlement checks, leaderboards, achievements, reviews, refunds, and platform compliance.
Publicly, when you choose: if a Service lets you publish content, your public content and associated display details may be visible to others.
For legal and safety reasons: to comply with law, respond to legal process, enforce terms, protect rights and safety, investigate fraud or abuse, or handle copyright and moderation issues.
Business transfers: if Bengigi or a Service is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets.

We do not sell personal information for money. If an ad-supported Service uses personalized advertising, advertising partners may process identifiers or usage data in a way that privacy laws may define as "sharing" for cross-context behavioral advertising. You may use available platform, app, consent, or partner controls to opt out where required.

7. Legal Bases for EEA/UK Users

Where GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we process personal data under these legal bases:

Contract: to provide the Service and requested features.
Consent: for optional permissions, personalized ads, certain analytics, or other choices where required.
Legitimate interests: to secure, maintain, debug, improve, market, and protect the Services.
Legal obligation: to comply with legal, tax, accounting, consumer protection, copyright, and safety obligations.

8. Data Retention

Local app data may remain on your device until you delete it, uninstall the app, clear app storage, or use app controls.
Account, progress, purchase entitlement, and user content records are retained while needed to provide the Service, unless you delete them or request deletion where available.
Analytics, diagnostics, logs, and security records are retained for limited periods appropriate to their purpose, unless needed longer for security, legal, fraud, abuse, or support reasons.
Support, DMCA, moderation, purchase, tax, and legal records may be retained as long as needed to document and resolve the matter.
Backups may retain information for a limited period until overwritten or purged through normal backup cycles.

9. Your Choices and Rights

You can control many data uses through app settings, device permissions, app store account settings, advertising ID settings, consent prompts, and uninstalling the app. For account-based Services, use available account pages or contact us to request access, export, correction, deletion, or other privacy actions.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, delete, correct, restrict, object to, or export your personal data, withdraw consent, or appeal a privacy decision. California residents may also have rights to know, delete, correct, opt out of sale or sharing, limit use of sensitive personal information, and receive non-discriminatory treatment for exercising privacy rights.

To make a privacy request, email support@bengigi.com. We may need to verify your identity and may retain information where permitted or required by law.

10. Children's Privacy

Unless a product-specific notice says otherwise, Bengigi Services are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without any required parental consent. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

11. Security

We use reasonable safeguards designed to protect information, including access controls, HTTPS where applicable, platform security features, and operational security practices. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

12. International Processing

We and our service providers may process information in countries other than where you live. Those countries may have different privacy laws. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for international transfers.

13. Product-Specific Policies

Some products have dedicated privacy policies:

14. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date. If changes materially affect your rights or how we use personal information, we will provide additional notice where required.
