Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Depending on how you interact with Brawlnest, we may collect the following categories of information.

Information You Provide

When you contact us, request support, submit feedback, or sign up for update emails, we may receive information such as:

• Name
• Email address
• Support requests
• Feedback
• Communications you send to us
• Any other information you voluntarily provide

We ask users not to submit sensitive personal information unless it is specifically necessary for the requested service.

Update Email Sign-Up

If you enter your email address in the "Notify me" form on brawlnest.net, we use it only to tell you when a new version of Brawlnest is available. We do not add it to a newsletter, and we do not sell or share it for advertising. You can ask us to remove it at any time by emailing support@desoline.com.

Website and Technical Information

When you visit brawlnest.net, certain technical information may be collected automatically by us or our service providers, including:

• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Device type and device information
• Referring website or source
• Pages visited
• Date and time of visits
• Website interactions
• Download interactions
• Advertising attribution information
• Cookie and similar technology identifiers, where applicable

We use this information for website operation, security, analytics, troubleshooting, performance measurement, advertising attribution, and improvement of our services.

Game Usage Data

Brawlnest is owned and operated by Desoline.

Brawlnest sends usage data only if you allow it. The game asks on first run, and you can change your choice at any time in the game's Settings. If you do not allow it, the game sends no usage data.

With your permission, Brawlnest sends:

• A random installation identifier created on your device
• Start, heartbeat, and exit events, with session duration
• The game version, build variant, and operating system
• The screens you visit
• Play events: stages started and finished (win, loss, or quit), attempt number, stage length, the affinities on your team, creatures bought, and finishing the run

This information is used to understand how the game is played, balance its difficulty, monitor stability and performance, troubleshoot technical issues, and improve Brawlnest.

The information collected does not include your name, email address, contacts, location, advertising identifier, screen contents, anything you type, or your saved game.

Saved Games

Your progress, creatures, team, and settings are stored only in the game's private storage on your device. They are not sent to Desoline. Uninstalling Brawlnest or clearing its app data deletes them, together with the installation identifier and your Massive choice.

Downloads

Brawlnest for Android is downloaded directly from brawlnest.net, not from Google Play or another app store. The file is served from downloads.brawlnest.net, which is hosted on Cloudflare R2. When you download the app, Cloudflare processes the technical information needed to deliver the file, such as your IP address, browser information, and the time of the request, and may keep it in short-lived server logs for security and troubleshooting. Pressing the download button may also be recorded as a website interaction, as described below.

App Permissions

Brawlnest asks for internet access, which it uses to send game usage data if you allow it. The optional Massive service described below also uses internet access, network-state access, a wake lock, and permission to run a background service; it runs only if you accept it. The game does not request access to your contacts, location, camera, microphone, photos, or files.

2. How We Use Information

Desoline may use information collected through Brawlnest to:

• Provide, operate, and maintain Brawlnest
• Provide technical and customer support
• Respond to questions and feedback
• Tell you about new versions of Brawlnest, if you asked us to
• Understand website and game usage
• Measure downloads and conversions
• Measure advertising campaign effectiveness
• Perform advertising attribution
• Analyze website traffic and performance
• Improve Brawlnest and develop new functionality
• Detect fraud, abuse, security incidents, and technical problems
• Maintain the security and integrity of our systems
• Comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements
• Establish, exercise, or defend legal claims
• Protect Desoline, Brawlnest, our users, and third parties

We do not intentionally use sensitive personal data for advertising personalization.

3. Legal Bases for Processing

Where laws such as the European Economic Area or United Kingdom data protection laws require a legal basis, Desoline processes personal data based on one or more of the following:

• Consent: where you have consented to game usage data, update emails, analytics, advertising cookies, or another specific processing activity.
• Contractual necessity: where processing is necessary to provide a service or functionality you have requested.
• Legitimate interests: where processing is necessary for legitimate business purposes such as maintaining and improving Brawlnest, understanding service usage, preventing fraud, securing our systems, and measuring service performance, provided those interests are not overridden by your applicable privacy rights.
• Legal obligations: where processing is necessary to comply with laws, regulations, legal proceedings, or enforceable governmental requests.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw your consent as described below.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

brawlnest.net may use cookies and similar technologies, including tags, pixels, and local storage, to:

• Operate the website
• Remember your cookie choice
• Maintain security
• Understand website usage
• Measure performance
• Analyze traffic
• Measure downloads and conversions
• Determine how visitors reached Brawlnest
• Measure advertising effectiveness

Non-essential cookies and tracking technologies are activated only after you accept them in the consent banner. Until then, Google tags run in a restricted mode without cookies or advertising identifiers.

You can accept or reject non-essential technologies in the consent banner, and change your choice at any time using the "Cookie settings" link in the website footer. You may also control cookies through your browser settings.

Disabling cookies or tracking technologies may affect our ability to measure website and advertising performance.

The Brawlnest game itself does not use cookies.

5. Google Analytics and Google Ads

Brawlnest may use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the website.

Depending on configuration, consent, and applicable law, Google may process information such as:

• Browser information
• Device information
• IP address
• Website interactions
• Pages visited
• Referral information
• Approximate geographic information
• Other analytics information

Desoline uses analytics information to understand website usage and improve Brawlnest.

Where required by applicable law, analytics cookies or identifiers will be subject to appropriate consent controls.

Google processes information according to its own applicable privacy terms and policies. Learn how Google uses information from sites that use its services: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. You can change your choice at any time via "Cookie settings" in the website footer, or opt out of Google Analytics with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

We also use Google Ads conversion tracking to measure which ads lead to downloads of Brawlnest. You can manage ad personalization at Google Ads Settings.

6. Microsoft Advertising and Universal Event Tracking (UET)

Where Microsoft Advertising Universal Event Tracking ("UET") or other Microsoft Advertising technology is implemented on brawlnest.net, Microsoft may collect or receive personal data and technical information from visitors to our website.

Depending on the configuration and user consent, this may include information such as:

• IP address
• Device and browser information
• Website activity
• Pages visited
• Referral information
• Advertising interactions
• Conversion events
• Cookie or advertising identifiers
• Other technical information associated with advertising measurement

Desoline may use Microsoft Advertising and UET to understand how users arrive at Brawlnest, measure advertising campaign performance, attribute conversions to advertising campaigns, and improve the effectiveness of our advertising.

Data collected through Microsoft Advertising technologies may be transmitted to and processed by Microsoft in accordance with the Microsoft Privacy Statement: https://privacy.microsoft.com/privacystatement. You can manage Microsoft personalized advertising at https://account.microsoft.com/privacy/ad-settings.

UET is loaded only after you accept non-essential cookies in the consent banner.

Desoline does not intentionally send information such as names, email addresses, telephone numbers, mailing addresses, passwords, or other directly identifying information to Microsoft through UET.

7. Advertising and Marketing Data

Brawlnest does not show advertisements inside the game. Desoline may use advertising and measurement services to promote Brawlnest and understand the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

These services may process technical and usage information to:

• Determine whether a user arrived through an advertisement
• Measure advertisement clicks
• Measure downloads or other conversion events
• Attribute conversions to advertising campaigns
• Measure campaign performance
• Prevent advertising fraud
• Produce aggregated advertising reports

Where applicable, individual user tracking and information sharing with advertising or measurement providers may occur for these purposes, only after your consent where the law requires it.

Desoline does not sell personal information for money.

If any activity is legally defined as a "sale," "sharing," or targeted advertising under applicable privacy law, we will provide the notices and choices required by that law.

8. Optional Bandwidth Sharing (Massive)

Brawlnest for Android offers an optional service provided by Massive (joinmassive.com), which helps keep Brawlnest free. The game offers it once, on first run, in a dedicated dialog with Accept and Decline buttons. If you accept, you receive a one-time bonus of in-game coins. If you decline, Massive does not run and Brawlnest works the same, apart from that bonus.

If you accept, Massive uses a small portion of your device's free resources, its internet bandwidth, and its IP address to download publicly available web data on behalf of Massive's business customers. Massive runs as a background service on your phone, without a notification, and may continue operating after you leave the game, subject to Android's limits on background work. It starts again each time you open Brawlnest while your choice is Accept.

You can switch Massive off at any time in Brawlnest's Settings, under Privacy. Switching it off stops the service immediately. Uninstalling Brawlnest also removes Massive, because it is part of the app. Switching Massive off does not take back coins already received, and switching it on again does not pay the bonus a second time.

Massive acts as an independent controller for the network traffic it routes and any information it processes, including your IP address, under its own terms and privacy policy: joinmassive.com/terms, joinmassive.com/privacy and joinmassive.com/faq.

Brawlnest itself records only your Massive choice (accepted or declined, and whether you later switched it off) and whether the bonus was paid, stored locally on your device. Desoline does not receive the content of traffic routed through Massive.

9. Sharing of Information

Desoline may share information with service providers that perform functions on our behalf, including providers of:

• Website hosting and cloud infrastructure (Google Cloud) and download hosting and content delivery (Cloudflare)
• Game usage data collection (Desoline's own service, hosted on Google Cloud)
• Analytics and advertising measurement (Google; Microsoft, where UET is used)
• Email delivery for update emails and support
• Optional bandwidth sharing (Massive, an independent controller, only if you accept it in the game)
• Security and technical infrastructure

These providers may process information only as permitted by applicable law and their contractual arrangements with Desoline.

Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to:

• Comply with applicable law
• Respond to lawful governmental requests
• Comply with legal proceedings
• Investigate fraud or security incidents
• Protect the rights, property, or safety of Desoline, users, or others
• Enforce our agreements

In the event of a merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, sale of assets, or similar corporate transaction, information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to applicable law.

10. Your Privacy Choices

• Game usage data: turn it on or off at any time in the game's Settings.
• Massive bandwidth sharing: decline it on first run, or switch it off at any time in the game's Settings.
• Website cookies: accept or reject them in the consent banner, and change your choice with the "Cookie settings" link in the website footer.
• Update emails: email support@desoline.com to remove your address.
• Device controls: you can uninstall Brawlnest or clear its app data at any time in your phone's settings.

Where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing that lawfully occurred before consent was withdrawn.

Where applicable law provides an opt-out right relating to targeted advertising, sale, or sharing of personal information, Desoline will honor applicable valid opt-out requests and recognized consumer-control signals, such as Global Privacy Control, where legally required.

11. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights concerning your personal information, including the right to:

• Request access to personal data we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of personal information
• Request restriction of certain processing
• Object to certain processing
• Withdraw consent
• Request portability of certain information
• Opt out of certain advertising, sale, or sharing activities where applicable
• Lodge a complaint with an applicable data-protection authority (in the UK, the Information Commissioner's Office)

Privacy rights vary by jurisdiction and may be subject to exceptions under applicable law.

To exercise an applicable privacy right, contact: support@desoline.com

Game usage data is tied only to a random installation identifier, not to your name or email, so we may not be able to find the records that relate to you. Turning off usage data in Settings stops all further collection, and uninstalling the game removes the identifier from your device.

We may need to verify a request before fulfilling it.

12. Data Retention

Desoline retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, including:

• Providing Brawlnest
• Maintaining operational and security records
• Measuring service performance
• Providing support
• Resolving disputes
• Enforcing agreements
• Meeting legal, accounting, or regulatory requirements

Update email addresses are kept until you ask us to remove yours, or until we stop sending update emails for Brawlnest.

Retention periods vary depending on the category of information, purpose of processing, applicable legal requirements, and whether the information is needed to establish or defend legal claims.

When information is no longer reasonably necessary, we may delete or anonymize it, subject to applicable legal requirements.

13. International Data Transfers

Desoline and its service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you live.

These countries may have privacy and data protection laws different from those in your jurisdiction.

Where applicable law requires safeguards for international transfers, Desoline takes appropriate measures designed to provide an appropriate level of protection for transferred personal data.

Third-party providers, including Google and Microsoft, may process information in accordance with their own international data-transfer mechanisms and privacy policies.

14. Data Security

Desoline uses reasonable administrative, organizational, and technical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, misuse, destruction, or loss.

Game usage data and information submitted on brawlnest.net are transmitted using HTTPS.

No internet transmission, storage system, or security system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

15. Children's Privacy

Brawlnest is intended for players aged 13 and older. It has no accounts, no chat, no in-app purchases, and no in-game advertising, and it sends game usage data only with permission.

Brawlnest is not intended to collect personal information from children in violation of applicable law.

We do not knowingly use Brawlnest to create advertising audiences or remarketing profiles specifically targeting individuals under 18.

If Desoline learns that personal information relating to a child has been collected in circumstances requiring parental consent or otherwise contrary to applicable law, we will take appropriate steps to delete or otherwise handle that information as required by law.

Parents or guardians who believe a child has provided personal information improperly may contact us at support@desoline.com.

16. Sensitive Personal Data

Desoline does not intentionally collect sensitive personal data through Brawlnest for advertising personalization or audience profiling.

Users should not submit sensitive personal information through support or feedback channels unless necessary.

17. Third-Party Websites and Services

Brawlnest may contain links to third-party websites or services.

Third-party services operate under their own privacy policies and terms. Desoline is not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of independent third-party services.

We encourage users to review the privacy policies of third-party services they use.

18. Changes to This Privacy Policy

Desoline may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to Brawlnest, our data practices, legal requirements, or third-party services.

When we update this Privacy Policy, we will update the "Last updated" date.

Where required by applicable law, we will provide additional notice or request consent for material changes.

19. Data Controller and Contact Information

Brawlnest is owned and operated by Desoline Inc. ("Desoline"), which is the controller of the personal data described in this Privacy Policy. Providing personal data to us is voluntary: you can play Brawlnest without providing any.
