Privacy Policy – Caveman vs Aliens
Overview
Caveman vs Aliens (the "Game") is operated by Oren Shatil ("we", "us", or "the developer"). This Privacy Policy explains what information the Game processes and how.
The Game is designed for children aged 9 to 12. Playing the Game does not require creating an account or providing your name or email address.
Microphone & Voice Commands
The Game uses your device's microphone for two optional features: voice commands (such as the spoken commands BANANA and BOOM) and a loudness bonus round in which the player's voice or shout controls the bonus. The Game asks for microphone permission only when the player chooses one of these features.
- Speech recognition is performed on the device, using a speech recognition model bundled with the Game.
- The Game's own code does not send raw microphone recordings or full recognized speech transcripts to an external server.
- The Game does not intentionally store microphone recordings or recognized speech transcripts.
- In the loudness bonus round, the Game measures how loud the microphone input is, on the device, in real time. This audio is not recorded to a file and is not sent anywhere by the Game's own code.
- The microphone is used only for the voice-command feature and the loudness bonus round. If microphone permission has already been granted, the Game may briefly open the microphone when it starts, only to prepare the device's audio system; nothing from this is recognized, stored or sent.
Advertising
Caveman vs Aliens uses Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads) to show two kinds of advertisements:
- Rewarded ads, shown only when a player chooses to watch one in exchange for an in-game bonus.
- Interstitial ads, full-screen ads that the Game may show automatically on the home screen after some Game Overs (about every second one), when an ad is available.
The Game's ad configuration is set for:
- Child-directed treatment
- Users under the age of consent
- A maximum ad content rating of G
To provide advertising and related services, Google Mobile Ads may process data such as:
- IP address
- App and ad interactions
- Diagnostic information
- Device or app-related identifiers supported by the applicable Google advertising configuration
Google's handling of this information is governed by Google's own privacy and advertising policies. See the Third-Party Service section below for a link to Google's privacy information.
Analytics & Diagnostics
The Game does not currently transmit custom gameplay analytics events. Firebase Analytics, Google Analytics, and Firebase Crashlytics are not integrated into the Game. The Game's own code does not initialize or call any Unity Analytics or Unity Diagnostics service, and the Game's project settings have crash and diagnostics reporting turned off.
Local Data
The Game stores limited gameplay and settings information locally on your device, for example:
- High score
- Audio settings
- Session and gameplay counters (including a counter used to decide when an interstitial ad may be shown)
- Voice-command inventory
This information is used only for gameplay and preferences on your own device. No player account is required, and the developer does not receive or store this information on any server.
Third-Party Service
Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads) is used for rewarded and interstitial advertising. You can review Google's applicable privacy information here:

Data Retention
The developer does not maintain a player-account database. Local gameplay data may remain on your device until app data is cleared or the Game is uninstalled. Information processed directly by Google, as described above, is subject to Google's own applicable retention practices.
Parents & Guardians
Parents or guardians may contact the developer regarding privacy questions or applicable requests concerning their child, using the contact details below.
Security
We take reasonable measures to help protect information associated with the Game. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page, and the "Last updated" date at the top of this page will be revised accordingly.
