Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 13, 2026

Cosmic Ventures LLC ("Cosmic Ventures," "we," "us," or "our") develops apps and games, including Orbit Hopper, Cosmic Cascade, Cosmic Survivors, and Clippin, along with other apps and games we release over time (together, the "Apps"). This Privacy Policy explains what information the Apps collect, how it's used, and the choices you have. It applies to all current and future Apps we publish unless a specific app links to a separate policy. Clippin is a desktop app with different data practices than our mobile games — see its in-app documentation for specifics; the mobile-specific sections below (Google Play Games Services, AdMob, etc.) don't apply to it.

Information we collect

Depending on the App and how you use it, we and our third-party service providers may collect:

Device and advertising identifiers — such as your Android Advertising ID, device model, OS version, and language settings.
Gameplay and app data — progress, scores, settings, and in-app achievements, which may be stored locally on your device or synced to a cloud save if you sign in.
Account identifiers — if you choose to sign in with Google Play Games Services (or a similar service), we receive a player ID and public profile info to support leaderboards, achievements, and cloud saves.
Purchase data — if an App offers in-app purchases, the app store processes payment and shares limited transaction details (e.g., product purchased, order ID) with us. We do not receive or store your full payment card details.
Diagnostic and performance data — crash logs, error reports, and performance metrics used to fix bugs and improve stability.
App interaction data — general usage analytics such as screens viewed, session length, and feature usage.
Communications — if you email support, we receive your email address and the contents of your message.

We do not knowingly collect precise real-time location, contacts, photos, or other sensitive device data unless a specific App feature requires it and requests your permission at the time.

How information is used

Information may be used to:

Provide and operate core app functionality, including saves, progress, and settings.
Maintain leaderboards, achievements, and other social or competitive features.
Process in-app purchases and unlock the content you've paid for.
Display and measure advertising, including personalized ads where permitted.
Diagnose crashes, fix bugs, and monitor app stability and performance.
Understand aggregate usage trends to guide future updates and new Apps.
Respond to support requests and communicate important app updates.

Advertising & analytics

Some Apps display ads through Google AdMob and may use analytics tools such as Google Analytics for Firebase and Firebase Crashlytics. These services can collect device and advertising identifiers, app interaction data, and diagnostic data to serve ads, measure ad performance, and help us understand how the App is used. Ads may be personalized based on your advertising identifier and app activity, subject to your device settings.

You can limit ad personalization or reset your advertising identifier at any time in your device settings (on Android: Settings → Privacy → Ads → Delete advertising ID or Opt out of Ads Personalization). Opting out doesn't stop ads from appearing, but it limits how they're targeted.

In-app purchases

Purchases made within an App are processed by the app store (such as Google Play or the Apple App Store), not by us directly. Those platforms handle your payment information under their own privacy policies. We receive only the transaction details needed to grant you the purchased content and to provide support if there's an issue with an order.

Third-party services

Our Apps may use third-party services including Google Play Games Services, Google AdMob, Google Analytics for Firebase, Firebase Crashlytics, and Google Play Billing. These providers process information under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review:

Google Privacy Policy (covers Play Games Services, AdMob, Firebase, and Play Billing)

If a future App integrates an additional third-party service that materially changes how your information is handled, we'll update this policy accordingly.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

Service providers named above, who process data on our behalf to provide advertising, analytics, cloud saves, and payment processing.
Legal authorities, if required to comply with a law, regulation, legal process, or valid government request.
A successor entity, if Cosmic Ventures is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets — your information would remain subject to a policy providing at least the same level of protection.

Data retention

We retain information for as long as needed to provide the Apps' functionality (such as saved progress and leaderboards), comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Diagnostic and analytics data is generally retained by our service providers for a limited period before being deleted or aggregated. You can request deletion of data tied to your account at any time — see "Your rights & choices" below.

Data security

We rely on the security practices of the platforms and service providers listed above (Google Play, AdMob, Firebase) and follow reasonable practices to protect information we handle directly, such as support emails. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security.

Children's privacy

Our Apps are intended for a general audience and are not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children. Where an App is listed under Google Play's Families Policy or a similar program, we limit or disable data collection and personalized advertising for that App consistent with those program requirements. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

Your rights & choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing (for example, under the GDPR in the EU/UK or the CCPA/CPRA in California). To exercise any of these rights, email us at the address below — we'll respond within a reasonable time and may need to verify your request.

You also have direct controls available on your device:

Ad personalization: limit or opt out via your device's ad settings.
Advertising ID: reset or delete it in your device settings.
Account data: request deletion of your cloud-saved progress or player profile by emailing us with the App name and your Play Games player ID.
App permissions: manage any device permissions (e.g., notifications) from your device's app settings.

International data transfers

We and our service providers may process and store information in the United States and other countries. If you access our Apps from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in a country with different data protection laws than your own, in each case with appropriate safeguards where required by law.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our Apps, legal requirements, or third-party services. We'll update the "Last updated" date above when we do, and material changes will be reflected here before they take effect. Continued use of an App after an update means you accept the revised policy.
