Privacy Policy for Dino Drop Master: Egg Merge

Effective date: November 3, 2026
Last updated: November 3, 2026

This policy describes the Dino Drop Master: Egg Merge Android game (also shown as Dino Drop Master on your device), developed by AppMaven ("we", "us"). The package name is com.appmaven.dinodropmaster. It covers version 4.0 of the game and later versions until this page is updated.

At a glance

Your game progress, current run and settings are saved on your device. There is no account, no sign-in and no AppMaven game server.
The game shows ads through Google AdMob. Google processes device identifiers, approximate location from your IP address, app interactions and diagnostics to deliver and measure ads.
Where required (for example in the EEA, UK and Switzerland), Google's consent form lets you choose how ads use your data. You can change that choice later in Settings → Ad privacy.
Optional purchases are processed by Google Play. We never see your payment card or billing address.
We do not sell your personal information for money. We do not use a separate analytics or crash-reporting service.

1. Who is responsible

AppMaven is the developer of the game and is responsible for the information described in this policy that the game itself handles. Google acts under its own policies for the advertising and purchase services described below. Contact details are at the end of this page.

2. Information saved on your device

The game saves the following in its private app storage on your device so you can keep playing:

Game progress: dinosaurs in your nursery, unlocked species and collection marks, best scores, Spark charges and your Spark reserve.
Your current run, so you can pause and continue it later.
Settings: music and sound effect volume, vibration and Reduce Motion.
Purchase status: which products you own and a one-way fingerprint (hash) of each purchase token, used so the same purchase is never applied twice.

This information stays on your device. We do not transmit it to an AppMaven server. Practice rounds are not saved.

If you update from an earlier version of Dino Drop Master on the same device, the game may read that version's saved settings and purchased items on your device so you keep what you had. This also happens only on your device.

The game turns off Android's cloud backup for its data, so your progress is not copied to the backup in your Google account. Depending on your Android version, a direct device-to-device transfer that you start may still copy app data to a new phone. AppMaven does not receive any copy.

3. Advertising and consent

The game uses Google AdMob (Google Mobile Ads SDK) to show two kinds of ads: optional rewarded videos that you choose to watch (for example to continue a run once or to get an extra Spark), and full-screen interstitial ads that may appear between runs. Google's SDK collects and shares the following categories for advertising, analytics, and fraud prevention, security and compliance:

Approximate location: your IP address may be used to estimate your general area. The game does not request GPS or precise location.
App interactions: events such as app launches, ad views and ad taps.
Diagnostics: information about the performance of the app and the advertising SDK.
Device or other identifiers: the advertising ID, app set ID and other identifiers described by Google.

Google states that this data is encrypted in transit. See Google's Mobile Ads SDK data disclosure and how Google uses information from apps that use its services.

The game uses Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) to ask for and manage your advertising privacy choices where required, including the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland. The game requests ads only when UMP reports that it may do so. Declining personalized ads does not necessarily stop all ads; non-personalized ads may still be shown.

Where the consent form applies to you, open Settings → Ad privacy in the game to review or change your choice. You can also reset or delete your advertising ID in your Android settings (the exact menu name depends on your device). These controls affect future processing; they do not by themselves erase data Google already holds. Manage Google ad settings at My Ad Center.

The Remove Ads purchase turns off the ads between runs. Optional reward videos stay available if you choose to watch them. Buying Remove Ads does not delete past advertising data.

4. Google Play purchases

Optional in-app purchases (Remove Ads, a 5 Spark pack and a Starter Pack) are processed by Google Play Billing. Google handles payment and billing information under its own policies. The game receives product and transaction information, including the purchase status and a purchase token, to deliver what you bought, confirm the transaction with Google Play and restore one-time purchases. We do not receive your payment card number or billing address.

Purchase records are kept by Google Play. Clearing the game's data is not a refund and does not erase your Google Play purchase history. Refunds follow Google Play's refund policies.

5. Permissions

The game and the Google components it includes use these Android permissions:

INTERNET and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: to load ads, show the consent form and connect to Google Play Billing.
com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID: lets Google's advertising SDK read the advertising ID.
com.android.vending.BILLING: in-app purchases through Google Play.
VIBRATE: short vibration feedback, which you can turn off in Settings.
WAKE_LOCK, FOREGROUND_SERVICE and READ_BASIC_PHONE_STATE: added by Google's included components for their own operation.

The game does not request access to your camera, microphone, photos or files, contacts, or precise location.

6. How information is used and shared

To run the game and keep your progress, settings and purchases on your device.
To show and measure ads, and to protect against ad fraud (Google).
To process and restore purchases (Google Play).
To answer your emails if you contact us.

We do not sell your personal information for money. However, the use of the advertising ID for personalized ads may count as "sharing" under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA. You can opt out by deleting or resetting your advertising ID in Android settings or by using the Ad privacy options in the game where available.

7. Support emails

If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include. We use it only to answer and handle your request. Please do not send payment details.

8. Retention and deletion

Information	Retention and controls
Progress, current run, settings and purchase status on your device	Kept until you uninstall the game or clear its storage in Android settings (Settings → Apps → Dino Drop Master → Storage → Clear storage). Uninstalling removes them from the device.
Advertising data	Held by Google under its policies. Advertising ID and consent controls affect future processing.
Purchase records	Kept by Google Play. One-time purchases (Remove Ads, Starter Pack) can be restored from Google Play after a reinstall; Sparks you already used are not restored.
Support emails	Kept as long as needed to handle your request and meet legal obligations. Ask us to delete them at any time.

There is no Dino Drop Master account, so there is no account to delete. We cannot delete records held by Google on your behalf; use Google's privacy controls for those. For emails you sent us, contact us below.

9. Your rights and legal bases

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete or receive a copy of your personal data, to restrict or object to processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that happened before. You may also complain to your local data protection authority. California residents have the right to know, to delete, and not to be discriminated against for using these rights.

Where the GDPR or similar laws apply, consent is the basis for personalized advertising, performance of a contract is the basis for delivering purchases and answering support requests, and legitimate interests or legal obligations are the basis for security, fraud prevention and record-keeping. To use your rights for information we hold, email us.

10. International processing

Google may process information outside your country. Google's policies describe the locations and safeguards, such as Standard Contractual Clauses, that apply to its services.

11. Children's privacy

Dino Drop Master: Egg Merge is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

12. Security

Android keeps the game's private storage separate from other apps. Google encrypts advertising data in transit. No storage or transmission method is completely secure, but we keep the information the game handles to the minimum needed to play.

13. Provider resources

14. Changes to this policy

We will update this page when these practices change, for example if a new version adds a service, and revise the date above.
