Privacy Policy for Snowball Siege
Effective Date: 10/29/26
Snowball Siege (“the Game”) is developed and operated by Valor Creations / Valor Federal LLC (“we,” “us”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and protect information when you play the Game as a TikTok Mini Game. By playing the Game, you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
The Game is designed to collect as little information as possible.
- Your saved progress stays on your device. Your Coins and Gems, upgrades, unlocked launchers, cleared levels, daily rewards and settings (such as sound, music and vibration) are saved in the Game’s storage on your phone, provided by TikTok. We do not receive or store this progress on our servers.
- TikTok login stays on your phone. When the Game starts, it asks TikTok to sign you in so that TikTok features such as rewarded ads and TikTok Rewards work. TikTok gives the Game a one-time sign-in code, which stays on your device and is never sent to our servers. We do not receive or store your TikTok OpenID, username, password, name, phone number or email address.
- Anonymous gameplay analytics (see Section 2a).
- No purchases. The Game has no in-app purchases, and we never collect payment information.
Planned change: a future update (planned for version 1.1) may add optional cloud saves, so your progress can follow your TikTok account to another device. That would require linking your progress to your TikTok OpenID. We will update this Privacy Policy, including its Effective Date, before any such feature is released.
We do not collect your real name, email address, phone number, precise location, contacts, photos or device identifiers.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information described above only to:
- run the Game and keep your progress on your device;
- fix problems, balance difficulty and rewards, and improve the Game.
We do not use your information for advertising profiles, marketing or any purpose beyond operating and improving the Game.
2a. Gameplay Analytics
To understand how Snowball Siege is played and to improve it, the Game records anonymous gameplay events. Examples: when a play session starts, which level you play and whether you capture the fort, how long a level takes, which upgrades or launchers you buy with in-game currency, which in-game rewards you claim, which optional rewarded-ad offers are shown, accepted, completed or skipped, loading times, frame rate and error codes. Each batch of events also includes the game version and whether your device runs iOS or Android.
Events wait on your device and are sent in small batches between levels. They are linked only to a random identifier that the Game creates on your device. They do not include your TikTok OpenID, username, name, contact details, photos, precise location or advertising identifiers. We do not store IP addresses with these events, although our hosting provider (Supabase) may briefly process IP addresses in its server logs to run and secure the service.
The Game never sends analytics while you are playing a level or while an ad is open. Events are stored in our Supabase database in the United States (Oregon) and can only be written through a server-side function. We use them only to fix problems, balance the Game and improve it. We do not sell them, share them with advertisers or use them for ad targeting. Individual events are deleted after 90 days; after that we keep only totals and averages, such as daily player counts, that cannot identify anyone.
Because these events are not linked to your identity, we cannot look them up or connect them to you. Clearing the Game’s data or reinstalling resets the random identifier.
3. TikTok’s Role in Data Handling
Snowball Siege runs inside TikTok as a Mini Game, and several functions are handled directly by TikTok’s own systems, not by us:
- Login. Sign-in is handled entirely by TikTok. We never see or store your TikTok password.
- Rewarded video ads. The Game offers optional rewarded video ads (for example, to double a level’s coins, start a level with a bonus, try a launcher, get extra ammo or claim bonus coins or gems). Watching an ad is always your choice, and every level can be beaten without ads. Ad delivery, ad targeting and any data collection connected to serving those ads is handled by TikTok’s advertising system, not by us.
- TikTok Rewards. If you take part in TikTok Rewards missions, TikTok tracks and confirms them. The Game only receives TikTok’s confirmation so it can give you the in-game reward.
TikTok’s own privacy policy governs how TikTok collects and uses data in connection with these functions. You can read it at https://www.tiktok.com/legal/page/row/privacy-policy/en (or the version for your region).
4. How We Protect Your Information
Anonymous analytics are stored in a secured, cloud-hosted database (Supabase) in the United States. The database has no public access: the Game can only add events through a server-side function and cannot read anything back. We take reasonable technical measures to protect information, but no online service can guarantee absolute security.
5. No Sale of Personal Data
We do not sell, rent or trade personal data to third parties. We do not share gameplay data with other players or with any third party, except where required by law or as described in this Policy.
6. Data Retention and Deletion
Your saved progress lives on your device; clearing the Game’s data or removing it from TikTok deletes it. Anonymous analytics events are deleted automatically after 90 days. Because they are not linked to your identity, we cannot find or delete a specific person’s events, but you can contact us with any privacy question at the address below.
7. Children’s Privacy
Snowball Siege is intended for a general audience and is not directed specifically at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children in a manner inconsistent with applicable law. If you have a concern, please contact us using the information below.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the Game, our practices or legal requirements. We will update the “Effective Date” above when changes are made. Continued play of the Game after changes take effect means you accept the revised Policy.
