Ghost Hunterz Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 7, 2026

This policy covers Ghost Hunterz by Kaztech Games, version 0.9.9 and later.

Saved game data

Scores, settings, favorite characters, unlocks and spin tokens are saved in the game's private storage on your device. The game has no player account. If you choose to join the optional leaderboard, a small leaderboard profile is stored on our server (see Leaderboard below). We do not receive your saved progress, except the best scores you choose to share on the leaderboard.

Optional rewarded ads

The game shows optional rewarded ads from Google AdMob. You can choose to watch an ad to earn a spin token. Ordinary gameplay does not require watching ads. Ads require an internet connection. Google Mobile Ads may process your IP address, approximate location inferred from it, ad interactions, diagnostic data, and device or app identifiers to deliver and measure ads and help prevent fraud. Google processes this information under its Privacy Policy. Removing the Android advertising ID permission does not prevent all other SDK data processing.

The app requests non-personalized ads and limits requested ad content to Google's G rating. Non-personalized ads still involve data processing. The app removes Android advertising ID and Android ad-services permissions. It does not request camera, microphone, contacts, or precise location access. It uses network permissions for ads and the leaderboard, and vibration for feedback.

Age and privacy choices

Before requesting an ad, the app asks for your age. It saves only whether you are under 18, not your exact age. Players under 18 receive child-directed and under-age-of-consent ad settings. Unknown ages cannot request an ad until this step is completed. You may cancel and continue playing without an ad.

Before an ad, Google's User Messaging Platform may ask for your privacy choices. You can review them at any time from Ad Privacy on the Unlock Wheel. Parents and guardians may contact us about children's privacy. There is no in-game chat.

Leaderboard (optional)

Ghost Hunterz has an optional online leaderboard. Nothing is sent until a player chooses a Ghost Tag and taps Join the Leaderboard.

A Ghost Tag is built from word lists inside the game (for example "Spooky Owl 42"), plus a ghost picture from the game. Players never type a name or any other text. The leaderboard needs no personal information: no names, no typing, and no chat.

When a player joins, the game sends our server at api.kaztech99.com, over a secure (HTTPS) connection:

• a random ID created by the game on that device. It is not the advertising ID or any device or account identifier, and other players never see it;
• the chosen Ghost Tag and ghost picture;
• the player's best score for each map and difficulty, and for the Arcade route.

Other players can see Ghost Tags, ghost pictures, scores and ranks. Our server processes the device's IP address to deliver the service and limit abuse. We do not store IP addresses in leaderboard records or logs. We do not use leaderboard data for advertising, and we do not sell or share it. The leaderboard runs on a server we rent, and our hosting provider stores that server's data.

Leaving the leaderboard: in the game, open Leaderboard → Edit Ghost Tag → Remove Me. This deletes the Ghost Tag and scores from our server right away. Scores stay saved on the device. You can also email games@kaztech99.com. We may remove entries that look like cheating. Leaderboard data is kept until the player removes it, or until we retire the leaderboard. Copies may remain in occasional server backups for up to 30 days before those backups are replaced. Step-by-step instructions are on our Delete Your Data page.

Retention and deletion

Local game data remains until you clear the app's storage or uninstall it. Clearing storage also removes progress and the saved age group. Android backup is enabled: device or account settings may back up and restore this data. Manage those copies with your device or backup provider. To delete leaderboard data, use Remove Me in the game or email us, as described under Leaderboard. Clearing storage or uninstalling does not delete leaderboard data from our server, so use Remove Me first or email us. We do not control Google's ad-data retention; refer to Google's privacy policy and privacy controls for its practices.

Contacting us

Email games@kaztech99.com for privacy questions. We receive your address and message and use them to provide support. Our email provider processes correspondence. We retain it only as needed for support and applicable obligations; you can request deletion at the same address. Children should ask a parent or guardian to contact us.
