Privacy Policy

About this policy

JW SITECARE LLC publishes Upanga: The Soul Blade under the studio name PhaZe Logic Studios. This policy covers the Android game, its website and player support. For privacy questions, contact upangadev@zohomail.com.

Publisher address: 7901 4TH St N Ste 300, Saint Petersburg, FL 33702-4399, United States.

Game progress and settings

You do not need a separate Upanga account to play. Campaign progress, settings and local access records are stored on your device. The game does not upload campaign saves to a developer-operated server. Starting a New Game resets campaign progress; it does not cancel a Google Play purchase.

Google Play purchases and billing information

The opening Crypt region is included in the free download. Google Play processes the optional permanent full-game unlock. The game uses Google Play Billing to display the price, open checkout, check or restore ownership and acknowledge completed purchases.

For these functions, the game processes purchase responses, including purchase status and a purchase token. Its local entitlement cache stores the product identifier and ownership state, rather than your payment-card details or purchase token. Google separately handles your Play account, payment method and transaction records. We can access transaction information made available to the publisher through Google Play Console to manage purchases and support.

Google Play Billing and its supporting components also handle technical information for billing operation and reliability. This can include billing results and diagnostic messages, app and Android versions, device/build information, language and country settings, time zone, network/mobile-operator metadata and a library-generated identifier. These components include diagnostic transport to Google. The game does not send this information to a developer-operated analytics server. Google processes information under its own policies. See Google's Privacy Policy.

Advertising and analytics

Upanga contains no advertising. We have not added a separate advertising or gameplay-analytics service to the Android game. Google Play Billing and its supporting libraries are used for the purchase feature described above. We do not sell personal information.

Support messages and retention

If you email upangadev@zohomail.com, we receive your email address and the information or attachments you choose to send. The in-game bug-report button opens an email draft for you to review and send; it does not automatically send a report. We use support information to answer requests, investigate problems and manage related purchase inquiries. Please do not send payment-card details, passwords or sensitive information unnecessary for your request.

We retain support correspondence only as long as needed to handle the request and related operational, security or legal obligations. You may ask us to delete information you sent directly to support. We will review the request, verify it as reasonably needed and delete information we no longer need to retain. We will explain any applicable retention exception.

Website and external services

The website is configured for GitHub Pages hosting. GitHub documents that it logs visitor IP addresses for security purposes. Website pages also use Google Fonts and script libraries from jsDelivr, so your browser may contact those providers to load the resources. These providers receive information needed to deliver the requested resources and process requests under their own policies.

Following a social-media or other external link takes you to a separate service with its own privacy practices. Provider policies: GitHub, Google and jsDelivr.

Your choices and deletion

You can remove local game data through Android Settings by clearing Upanga's app storage or uninstalling the game. Clearing storage removes local progress, settings and access records. Starting a New Game or resetting a save is separate from clearing all app storage. See our Data Deletion page for steps.

Clearing local data does not cancel, refund or delete a purchase recorded by Google Play. Restore Purchase checks ownership using the Play account available to the game. Google manages its own account and transaction records through its account and privacy controls. Contact support for information you sent directly to us; we cannot delete Google's independent records on your behalf.

Intended audience

Upanga is intended for players aged 13 and older. We do not intentionally request personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has sent personal information directly to our support address, contact us so we can review and address it.

Security and changes

We use reasonable measures appropriate to the information we handle. No storage or transmission method can be guaranteed completely secure. We will update this policy when our practices change and identify the revision date on this page.
