NineShift Privacy Policy

Last updated: 23 September 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how NineShift, operated by the developer using the public developer name NineShift Games, handles information when you use the NineShift mobile game and related online services.

1. Information we may process

Depending on the features you use, NineShift may process:

• Account information, such as an email address, authentication status, display name/nickname and account identifiers.
• Profile and game information, such as language, country/region selection, cosmetics, progression, coins, XP, ratings, statistics, achievements, friends and multiplayer-related data.
• Game activity, such as match history, moves, results, timing information, matchmaking and reconnect information.
• Purchase and entitlement information, such as which in-app products or ad-removal entitlement you own. Payment card or bank details are handled by Google Play and are not provided to NineShift.
• Advertising and device information processed by Google Mobile Ads/AdMob, which may include advertising identifiers, IP address, device information, approximate location derived from network information, ad interactions and consent choices, subject to your choices and applicable law.
• Support or privacy-request information that you voluntarily provide when contacting the developer.

2. How information is used

Information is used to provide and secure NineShift, maintain accounts and profiles, save progress, run multiplayer and matchmaking, calculate ratings and statistics, provide cosmetics and rewards, process entitlements, prevent abuse, diagnose technical issues, respond to requests, and show or measure advertising where permitted.

3. Advertising and consent

NineShift uses Google AdMob / Google Mobile Ads for advertising. In regions where consent is required, NineShift uses Google's User Messaging Platform (UMP) or another Google-certified consent mechanism to ask for and store advertising choices before requesting ads where required. Rewarded ads are voluntary. Interstitial ads may be shown at natural transition points and are not intended to interrupt active gameplay.

4. In-app purchases

Purchases made on Android are processed by Google Play. Google handles payment credentials and payment processing. NineShift receives only the information needed to verify the purchase and grant the corresponding in-game product or entitlement.

5. Service providers

NineShift relies on third-party service providers that may process information on the developer's behalf or under their own terms, including:

• Supabase for authentication, database, backend functions and online game services.
• Google for Google Play distribution, Play Billing, AdMob/Google Mobile Ads and consent management.

These providers may process information in countries other than your own and apply their own security and privacy practices.

6. Sharing of information

NineShift does not sell personal information. Information may be shared with service providers where necessary to operate the app, comply with legal obligations, protect users and the service, or complete transactions and advertising functions requested or permitted by the user.

7. Data security

Reasonable technical and organizational measures are used to protect information, including encrypted network connections where supported, authenticated access to account services and access controls on backend systems. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

8. Data retention and deletion

Account and gameplay data are retained for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, maintain legitimate records, prevent abuse, resolve disputes and comply with legal obligations. Some transaction or security records may be retained longer where required.

You may request access to or deletion of personal information associated with your NineShift account. Privacy and deletion requests can be sent to the developer using the developer contact details shown on the NineShift Google Play listing and developer profile. Where an in-app account-deletion option is available, it may also be used.

9. Your choices and rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict or object to certain processing, or withdraw consent. Advertising consent choices can be reviewed through the privacy controls made available in the app where applicable. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal.

10. Children and younger users

NineShift is designed as a general-audience game. Where local law requires parental or guardian involvement for a younger user's data processing or purchases, the relevant consent and platform requirements apply.

11. Changes to this policy

This policy may be updated when NineShift features, service providers or legal requirements change. The date at the top of this page indicates the latest revision.

12. Privacy contact

NineShift Games is the public developer name for NineShift. Privacy inquiries can be submitted using the developer contact information displayed on NineShift's Google Play listing and developer profile.
