Privacy Policy
This game is published by Qaymaq Games, MChJ ("we", "our", or "us"), Uzbekistan. This document explains what data is processed when you play our game, by whom, and for what purposes.
In short: the game has no user accounts, no backend servers of ours, and no tracking analytics. All of your game progress is stored strictly on your own device. The only external party is Google AdMob, and it is engaged only at the moment you choose to watch a rewarded video ad yourself.

2. Data We Collect
None. We do not ask you to register, we build no player profiles, and we transmit no personal gameplay data to servers of our own — the game operates entirely without a server backend.
The game saves your progress in the application's local sandbox storage on your device: waves cleared, high score, gold, meat rations, village building levels, unlocked companions, volume, vibration, and language settings, and whether today's daily reward was claimed. These records are never transmitted, are inaccessible to us, and are permanently wiped when you uninstall the app or clear its data in Android settings.
Any reminders the game displays (such as meat rations refilled) are scheduled and composed locally on your device. There are no server-sent push notifications.
3. In-Game Advertising (Google AdMob)
The game contains opt-in rewarded ads only: a short video that plays solely when you tap to watch it in order to claim an in-game reward — a revive, a card reroll, or bonus rations. No advertising is ever shown to you unprompted or unexpectedly.
Advertising delivery is handled by Google AdMob (Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC). As an independent data controller, Google may process:
- the device's Android Advertising ID (GAID) — a resettable identifier not tied to your personal identity;
- your IP address and approximate coarse location derived from it (country, region);
- device details: hardware model, Android OS version, system language, network connection type;
- ad interaction telemetry: ad request, impression, view completion, click, or load failure.
This data is utilized to deliver ads, measure campaign efficacy, and combat fraudulent activity. For full details and retention policies, consult Google's documentation: Google Privacy Policy and Google Ads Data Processing Terms.
We receive neither your advertising ID nor any personal details about you from Google — we receive only aggregated, anonymized statistics regarding impression counts and revenue.
Consent and Personalisation (UMP)
If you reside in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, the game displays Google's consent dialog (User Messaging Platform / UMP) upon first launch and strictly honours your privacy choice. You can modify your preferences at any time: inside the game, navigate to Settings → Ads & Data.
Regardless of your geographic location, you can manage or reset ad personalisation directly via Android: Settings → Google → Ads, where you may reset or delete your Advertising ID. Deleting it does not eliminate ads; it simply prevents them from being tailored to your personal interests.
4. Age of Players & Child Privacy (COPPA & GDPR-K)
The game is intended for general audiences aged 16 and older and is not targeted at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us immediately at support@qaymaqgames.com, and we will promptly investigate and purge any such records.
All ad creatives are strictly capped at Google's "Teen" maximum content rating — mature or adult-oriented advertising is never permitted in this game.

None of these permissions grant the game access to your contacts, photos, storage files, precise GPS location, camera, or microphone — no such invasive permissions are requested.
6. Your Rights and Data Deletion (Data Deletion Request)
Because we do not collect or store personal data on any server, all gameplay progression resides strictly on your local device. You can permanently erase all game data at any time by uninstalling the application or clearing its storage in Android settings (Settings → Apps → The Knight and the Hamster → Storage → Clear data).
Formal Data Deletion Request:
If you wish to submit a formal inquiry or request verification regarding associated identifiers (such as GAID), please email our support team at support@qaymaqgames.com with the subject line Data Deletion Request. Please include your device Advertising ID if applicable. All requests are acknowledged, processed, and resolved within 30 calendar days.
For data collected independently by Google AdMob, requests for access, rectification, or erasure should be directed to Google in accordance with its privacy policy.
If you are located in the EEA, the UK, or Switzerland, you are entitled to all statutory rights under the GDPR and UK GDPR, including the right to withdraw consent to personalised advertising at any time (see Section 3).
