🔒 Privacy Policy

Welcome to Royal Smash 3D ("the Game"), published by Varnams ("we", "our", or "us"). We respect your privacy and have engineered Royal Smash 3D with a strict local-first, privacy-by-design architecture. This Privacy Policy explains how information is handled when you play the Game on web browsers, Progressive Web Apps (PWA), or mobile devices.

1. Information We Do NOT Collect

• No Photo Uploads: When you select a custom photo or type a custom message in "Stress Buster / Boss Mode", all image cropping, 3D face mesh rendering, and text display occur 100% locally inside your device's memory. Your photos are never transmitted to Varnams or any external server.
• No Sensitive Financial Credentials: We never see, collect, or store your UPI PIN, credit/debit card numbers, net-banking credentials, or bank account passwords.
• No Mandatory Personal Registration: You can play the Game without creating an account or providing your real name, phone number, or home address.

2. On-Device Storage & Optional Account Sync

To save your game progress seamlessly, Royal Smash 3D uses your browser or device's standard local storage (localStorage):

• Local Game State: Level progression, star ratings, My Kingdom castle restoration progress, unlocked 3D blasters, projectile stock, audio/vibration preferences, and virtual coin balances (Silver & Gold Coins).
• Support Backup Key (VARNAM-XXXX-YY): The Game automatically generates a pseudonymous alphanumeric Backup Key on your device so you can restore your unlocked purchases or request support without sharing sensitive personal data.
• Optional Email Link & Digital Receipts: If you optionally enter your email address to link your cloud backup or to send yourself an email confirmation of a Digital Receipt, that email address is stored locally on your device and used solely for purchase verification and account recovery with Varnams Support.

3. Payment Processing (Direct UPI & Official App Stores)

When you purchase optional in-game virtual currency packs or passes in the Royal Vault:

• Direct UPI Payments (Web & Mobile): UPI payments are initiated directly through your own UPI-enabled banking application (such as Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, or BHIM) via standard UPI deep links or QR codes. The transaction is processed entirely by your bank and the NPCI UPI network. You may optionally enter your 12-digit UPI Reference / UTR number in-game to generate an instant Varnams Digital Receipt (VNM-...).
• Google Play In-App Billing / Apple StoreKit: When playing via an official app store build, in-app purchases are processed directly by Google Play or Apple under their respective privacy and security policies.

4. Third-Party Services & Optional Rewarded Ads

The Game may offer optional rewarded breaks (for example, watching a short promotional clip to receive extra shots or refill Royal Hearts). If third-party ad networks (such as Google AdSense or Google AdMob) are active on our web or mobile build, they may use standard cookies or mobile advertising identifiers in accordance with Google's Advertising Privacy Policy. You can reset or limit ad tracking at any time in your device settings.

5. Device Permissions (Camera / Photo Picker & Haptics)

• Photo Selection: Selecting a custom target image uses your operating system's native file/photo picker. The Game only reads the single image file you explicitly choose.
• Haptic Vibration: On supported mobile devices, the Game uses the standard browser Vibration API (navigator.vibrate) for cannon recoil and explosion feedback. You can switch vibration ON or OFF at any time from the top HUD or Main Menu.

6. Children's Privacy & General Audience

Royal Smash 3D is a general-audience arcade puzzle game. Because the Game operates locally without mandatory registration, we do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If a parent or guardian believes that their child has sent personal information to our support email, please contact us at support@varnams.in and we will promptly delete the correspondence.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect technical improvements or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
