Transformers: Tactical Arena

07/07/2021

Hello, We're Red Games Co, LLC. We make family-friendly mobile games and experiences that kids love to play, parents can endorse, and families can play together.

Here, we tell you how we use game data in the Transformers: Tactical Arena app (the App) to help create the best possible gaming experience, and how we keep that data safe. Please make sure you read everything here carefully, and if you happen to be a youngster (under 18 years old), ask an adult to help explain anything you don't understand.

 

 

Data Collection and Use

Data Use

Certain non-personal data (as described below) is collected and used in the App to allow players to create and save their scores and game progress. This data is stored locally on a players device and in a player’s iCloud Key Value Store. In addition, anonymous analytics data (also described below) such as a player’s currency, story progression, and session length are collected to help us improve gameplay and refine the app experience.

 

iCloud Key Value Store

iCloud Key-Value storage is a safe and secure cloud-based service provided by Apple that allows an app to save data to a user’s private iCloud Account storage and access that data from multiple devices that may be logged into the same iCloud account. Apple controls the security of all iCloud data transmissions and encrypts data prior to transit and is stored in an encrypted format.

 

User Data

The following game data is saved to a players iCloud Key Value Store once the user has given permission for data collection:

  • Collected Data Permission (bool): Has the user given permission for data collection

  • First Time Player (bool): Has this player experienced the First Time User content

  • Current Squad (string): Which cards have been selected for gameplay

  • Player Ranking: Array of score entries

    • Arena (string): The game that this entry applies to

    • Victory Points (int): Representation of the player’s rank

Realtime Game Inputs

Gameplay inputs are transmitted as messages real time during gameplay: 

  • TBD

 

Device Data

The following device data is saved to a players local device:

  • Mute Music (bool): Should music play

  • Mute Sound Effects (bool): Should sound effects play

  • Mute Voice Over (bool): Should VO play

     

Third Parties

The App does not share data with any third party service provider that can be used for that third party’s own purposes. The App does share certain game data (as outlined above) with a service provider (Exit Games) who is contracted to only use this data to deliver multiplayer gameplay, and this data is used only for the purposes of matching players together and for tracking a player's progress within a play session. 

 

Data Retention

  • User Data: Stored in the user’s iCloud and retained at the user’s discretion.

  • Player Data and Real Time Game Inputs:  These are stored for the duration of a match the user is in and not retained past their lifespan.

  • Device Data: Is saved locally on the user’s device.
