Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 23, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Got Next: Basketball ("we," "our," or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use the Got Next: Basketball game and related services (the "App"). By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information as described here.

2. Information we collect

• Account information: email (if you provide one for support or recovery), username, and a securely hashed password, when you create an optional cloud-save account.
• Game save data: your career progress, stats, team choices, and achievements — stored on your device and, if you opt in, synced to our servers.
• Purchase history: records of in-app purchases processed through the App Store, Google Play, or the web store. We receive a receipt, not your full card details.
• Device identifier: an anonymous ID used to tie local save data to you before you make an account.
• Usage data: aggregated, anonymized data about feature use and session length, used to improve the game.

3. How we use your information

• To provide and maintain the App and its cloud-save features.
• To process and verify in-app purchases.
• To improve gameplay, fix bugs, and build new features.
• To respond to support requests and send important notices.
• To enforce our Terms and protect against fraud or abuse.

4. Third-party services

We use a small number of third parties for purchases, advertising, and analytics: RevenueCat (validates in-app purchases), Google AdMob and Google AdSense (serve ads in the apps and on the web), and Google Analytics (aggregated, anonymized usage). We do not sell your personal information. We share data only as needed to run the App or as required by law.

5. Advertising

Got Next: Basketball is free and supported by advertising. In the game we show full-screen ads at natural breaks in play and optional rewarded ads you choose to watch for an in-game reward. On the web we also show display ads: one on each article page of this website, and, on very wide desktop screens, in the empty margins beside the game — never over the game itself.

Ads are delivered by Google — through Google AdMob in the iOS and Android apps and Google AdSense on the web. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet. Google may also use your device's advertising identifier, IP address, approximate location, and ad-interaction data to serve and measure ads.

Cookies and local storage: besides the advertising cookies above, the game uses Google Analytics cookies to count visits and see which features are used. The game stores your saves and settings in your browser's local storage so you can play without an account; clearing your browser data removes them unless you've signed in to sync.

Your choices: you can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings (or My Ad Center), and opt out of other vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at aboutads.info. On iOS you're asked before any tracking used for personalized ads (changeable in Settings › Privacy & Security › Tracking); on Android you can reset your advertising ID in Settings › Google › Ads. In the EEA, UK, and Switzerland we present a consent choice before personalized ads — decline and you'll still see ads, just non-personalized. The Legend Pass removes all ads in the game.

6. Data storage and security

Your data is stored on servers in the United States. We use industry-standard measures including encrypted transmission (HTTPS) and hashed passwords. No method of transmission is ever 100% secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security.

7. Children's privacy

The App is not intended for children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect their information. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us data, contact us and we'll delete it.

8. Your rights and data deletion

You can access the information we hold about you, request corrections, and request deletion of your account and data. Email harnoord14@gmail.com and we'll process your request within 30 days.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. We'll post the new version and update the date above; continued use after changes means you accept them.
