Revised: 10/23/26

Your information privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, protect, and disclose information and data when you use the Monster Walk: Step Adventure mobile application ("App") and other related services offered by Talofa Corporation ("Talofa", "Company", "we", "our", "us"). This includes information collected through integrations with third-party services such as Google Fit, Health Connect, or Apple Health, as applicable.

This Privacy Policy also explains your choices for managing your information preferences, including opting out of certain uses of your Personal Information. By using the App or Services, you agree to the collection and use of your information as described in this Privacy Policy.

1. Personal Information We Collect

We collect the following categories of "Personal Information":

  • Contact Information: Email address.
  • Other Identifying Information: Device ID, authentication data.
  • Purchase Information: which in-game items you bought and when, and the store's transaction id. Payments are handled by Apple or Google; we never receive your card or payment details.
  • Identifiers: a player id, device identifiers (including, with your permission on iOS, the advertising identifier), and a push-notification token.
  • Approximate location: our advertising partners may infer a coarse region from your IP address. Monster Walk does not request or use your device location.
  • Health Data / Step Counts: Number of steps you take, accessed via health APIs (Google Fit, Health Connect, or Apple Health).
  • Internet or Other Electronic Activity: App usage history, interactions, and preferences.

2. How We Use Personal Information

  • Gameplay and App Functionality: Step count data powers movement, challenges, and exploration in-game.
  • Transactional Purposes: Manage purchases, send account and billing updates.
  • Analytics and Improvements: Assess user behavior and improve features.
  • Security and Compliance: Prevent fraud, ensure legal compliance, and protect users.

3. Sources of Personal Information

  • Directly from you: When you provide data via forms, sign-up, or support.
  • Via permissions and APIs: Step data is collected with your permission from health services.
  • Automatically: Through usage logs, crash data, and device behavior.

4. Sharing of Personal Information

  • Service Providers: For backend hosting, analytics, and support tools.
  • Affiliates: Entities owned or controlled by Talofa.
  • Legal and Compliance: When required to cooperate with law enforcement or government requests.
  • Corporate Transactions: In connection with mergers, acquisitions, or sales.
  • Analytics, attribution and crash reporting: Google Firebase (Analytics, Crashlytics), Unity Gaming Services Analytics, ByteBrew receive gameplay events and identifiers to measure and improve the game and our marketing; GeekLab AudienceLab receives only install, session, onboarding, purchase and rewarded-ad events to measure our marketing.
  • Advertising: when you choose to watch a rewarded ad, Unity LevelPlay (ironSource) and Unity Ads receive device identifiers and ad interaction data. On iOS, identifiers are only used for tracking if you allow it in the App Tracking Transparency prompt.

Step counts and other health data are never shared with advertising or attribution partners.

We do not share your Health Data with third parties for advertising or unrelated purposes.

5. Health Data & Permissions Disclosure

We access Health Data (step count) from Google Fit, Health Connect, or Apple Health only with your explicit consent. This data is:

  • Used for gameplay features such as progression, movement, and earning rewards.
  • Sent to our analytics providers Google Firebase Analytics, ByteBrew and Unity Gaming Services Analytics as aggregate step counts (the steps counted in each update, your daily and lifetime totals, and the steps and minutes of walks saved as workouts) with the gameplay analytics, so we can understand how players use the App and improve it.
  • Never sold, and never shared with advertising or attribution partners.
  • Stored securely and retained only as needed for functionality.
  • Not used for advertising or marketing.

You can revoke access anytime through your device’s settings.

6. Online Tracking and Analytics

We use Google Firebase Analytics, Unity Analytics, ByteBrew and GeekLab AudienceLab to understand how players use the App, and Firebase Crashlytics to fix crashes. On iOS you can refuse tracking in the App Tracking Transparency prompt or in Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking; on Android you can reset or delete your advertising ID in Settings › Google › Ads.

7. Managing Your Preferences

You can opt out of marketing emails by following the link in those emails. However, you may still receive non-marketing communications such as system notifications, legal updates, and billing alerts.

8. Children’s Privacy

The App is not intended for users under age 13. If we learn that we have collected personal data from a child under 13, we will delete it promptly and take steps to prevent it from happening again.

9. Data Storage & Transfers

Your data is stored on servers in the United States. By using the App, you consent to this storage and understand that U.S. laws may differ from those in your country.
