This Privacy Policy explains how the developer of Horror Mods for Minecraft PE (“we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and protects information in connection with the mobile application Horror Mods for Minecraft PE (the “App”). By downloading, installing, accessing, or using the App, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and agree to the practices described in it. If you do not agree, do not use the App.
1. About the App
The App is an independent catalog that helps users discover and install horror-themed community mods, add-ons, maps, and texture packs for Minecraft: Pocket Edition / Bedrock Edition. The mods are third-party, user-generated, or community content. We do not require you to create an account to use the App.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Information you provide
The App does not require registration and does not ask you for your name, email address, phone number, or precise location. If you contact us (for example, by email), we receive the information you choose to send us.
2.2 Information collected automatically (analytics)
To operate and improve the App and to understand which content is popular, we and our service providers automatically collect limited, non-account analytics, which may include:
- a randomly generated device/installation identifier created on your device (not your name and not a government or hardware identifier), used to de-duplicate analytics events;
- an approximate country/region indicator;
- in-app interaction events — for example, content impressions, downloads/installs, category selections, and search terms you type within the App;
- basic technical data such as app version, device type, operating-system version, and timestamps.
2.3 Advertising data
The App displays advertising provided by Google AdMob (see Section 4). Advertising partners may collect and process your device’s advertising identifier (e.g., Google Advertising ID), IP address, general location derived from IP, device and network information, and information about your interaction with ads. This processing is governed by the partners’ own privacy policies.
2.4 Information stored only on your device
Some data is stored locally on your device and is not transmitted to us, including your saved favorites, in-app settings, and any “Remove Ads” entitlement flag. You can clear this data by clearing the App’s storage or uninstalling the App.
3. How We Use Information
- to provide, operate, maintain, and secure the App and its features;
- to display and deliver advertising and to support the App at no charge;
- to measure usage and analytics and to improve content, performance, and user experience;
- to detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, security incidents, and technical issues;
- to comply with applicable law and enforce our Terms of Service.
4. Advertising & Google AdMob
We use Google AdMob to display advertisements, which may include banner, interstitial, app-open, rewarded, and in-feed formats. Google and its partners may use cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to serve, personalize, and measure ads. Depending on your settings and region, ads may be personalized or non-personalized.
- How Google uses information from apps that use its services: policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
- Google Privacy Policy: policies.google.com/privacy.
- Where required (e.g., in the EEA, UK, and Switzerland), we present a Google-certified consent message (UMP) so you can consent to or decline personalized advertising.
- You can opt out of ad personalization or reset your advertising identifier in your device settings (Android: Settings → Google → Ads).
5. How We Share & Disclose Information
We do not sell your personal information for money. We may share information with:
- Service providers that operate the App on our behalf — including advertising (Google AdMob), analytics, cloud hosting, and database providers — who process data under our instructions;
- Legal & safety recipients — where we believe in good faith that disclosure is required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or is necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of us, our users, or the public;
- Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, in which case information may be transferred as a business asset.
6. Legal Bases for Processing (EEA/UK)
Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, we rely on the following legal bases: your consent (for personalized advertising and where otherwise required); our legitimate interests in operating, securing, measuring, and improving the App (balanced against your rights); and compliance with legal obligations. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior processing.
7. Data Retention
We retain analytics and advertising-related data for only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this Policy or as required by law, after which it is deleted or aggregated/anonymized. Locally stored data remains on your device until you clear it or uninstall the App.
8. Children’s Privacy
The App contains horror-themed content and is not directed to children. It is intended for users who are at least 13 years old (or the minimum age of digital consent in your country, if higher). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the applicable age). We configure advertising as not directed to children and request a content rating appropriate for a general/teen audience. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us at zalak.upgrade@gmail.com and we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
9. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live (including the EEA, UK, and California, USA), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal information, to data portability, and to opt out of personalized advertising or the “sale”/“sharing” of personal information as those terms are defined by applicable law (e.g., the CCPA/CPRA). We do not sell personal information for money, and we honor opt-out preference signals where required.
Because the App uses a randomly generated identifier and does not maintain user accounts, we may be unable to associate collected data with you specifically and may ask for additional information to verify a request. To exercise any right, contact us at zalak.upgrade@gmail.com. You will not be discriminated against for exercising your rights.
10. Security
We use commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot and do not guarantee absolute security. You use the App and transmit data at your own risk.
11. International Data Transfers
We and our service providers may process and store information in countries other than your own, which may have different data-protection laws. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers.
12. Third-Party Content, Mods & Links
The App catalogs third-party and community-created mods, add-ons, and files, and may link to third-party websites and services that we do not own or control. We are not responsible for the content, safety, legality, privacy practices, or availability of any third-party content, file, or service. Your use of third-party content is at your own risk and subject to the third party’s own terms and policies, including the Minecraft End User License Agreement and Usage Guidelines.
13. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability
The App and all content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that any content or mod is accurate, safe, compatible, or lawful.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will the developer of Horror Mods for Minecraft PE be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, devices, profits, goodwill, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the App, any third-party content or mods, or this Privacy Policy, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the App will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you paid us, if any, in the twelve (12) months before the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) USD $10.00. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you; in such cases our liability is limited to the smallest extent permitted by law.
14. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above and post the new version at this URL. Material changes may be indicated by additional notice within the App. Your continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.
