Privacy Policy

Effective date:

This Privacy Policy explains how STONECAST VENTURES LLC (“we”, “us” or “our”) handles personal information when you use TradeBlitz: Crypto Simulator (the “App”).

This Policy applies to the App and related support interactions. Sections 15 and 16 contain additional information for people in Brazil and California, respectively. If a location-specific provision differs from a general provision, the location-specific provision controls for the relevant processing.

1. Who controls your information

STONECAST VENTURES LLC, a limited liability company registered in the USA, having its address at 9165 Otis ave Suite 238 Indianapolis IN 46216, USA is the controller or business responsible for the App. Contact [email protected] for privacy questions and requests.

2. What the App does not ask you to provide

We do not ask for a bank account, payment card, cryptocurrency wallet, private key, seed phrase, government ID or identity-verification document to operate the virtual simulation. Do not send such information in a support message. Any virtual trades, balances and rewards remain within the App and do not represent real financial transactions.

3. Information we collect

  • Account and registration information: If you create an account, we collect the email address, username or display name, and authentication information needed to register, sign in and recover access. Depending on the sign-in method, this may include a password hash or an identifier received from a third-party sign-in provider. We assign an account ID, record account creation and login events, and link your virtual balance, simulated trades, rewards and settings to your account so that we can maintain and restore your progress.
  • Device and network information: IP address, device model, operating system and version, App version, language, connection information, approximate country or region, installation or app-set identifiers, and an advertising identifier when available and permitted.
  • App and simulation activity: launches, screens viewed, session and interaction events, virtual trades, virtual holdings, balance changes, passive-asset activity, wheel or random-feature events, and settings needed to run or understand the simulation.
  • Advertising and attribution activity: ad requests, impressions, clicks, rewarded-ad completion or failure, virtual reward delivery, campaign source, and anti-fraud signals. Advertising partners may receive device and interaction information according to their role and your choices.
  • Diagnostics and security information: crash reports, error logs, performance data, suspected abuse, location-restriction checks and technical records needed to investigate problems.
  • Information you provide: your email address, message and any details you choose to send when contacting support or exercising a privacy right. We may use an installation or other technical identifier to locate records related to a request.

We do not request precise location for the core simulator. Approximate location may be inferred from IP address, device settings or app-store region to localise content and apply feature restrictions.

4. Cookies, SDKs and similar technologies

The App primarily uses software development kits (SDKs), local storage, app and device identifiers, and similar technologies rather than conventional website cookies. If the App displays content in an embedded browser, that content may also use cookies. These technologies may store or access information on your device and send information to us or our service providers.

We use them for the following purposes:

  • Essential functions: to keep you signed in if you have an account, maintain your virtual balance and progress, protect the App, and remember your privacy choices.
  • Preferences: to remember settings such as language and display preferences.
  • Analytics and diagnostics: to understand how the App is used, measure performance and investigate errors.
  • Advertising and attribution: to display and measure ads, attribute installations, prevent ad fraud, and verify the completion of rewarded ads. Advertising may be personalised where permitted and enabled.

Where required by law, we ask for your consent before using non-essential technologies. You can change your choice through in-app privacy settings and manage certain identifiers and tracking permissions in your device settings. Declining optional technologies does not prevent use of the core simulator, although some optional features or ad formats may be unavailable. You may still see non-personalised ads.

6. Advertising

An optional rewarded ad can grant a virtual benefit when its completion is verified; the benefit is not money or cryptocurrency. Ad partners may use identifiers and ad interactions to select, display, measure and protect ads. Depending on your choices and local law, ads may be personalised, contextual or limited. The core simulator does not require you to choose rewarded ads. A device privacy setting may affect ad personalisation, but does not necessarily stop all ads or processing needed for security and reward verification.

We do not use virtual trade data to place real financial transactions. Advertising partners may receive simulation-related events only to the extent configured and necessary for the disclosed advertising or measurement purposes.

7. Providers and disclosures

We may disclose relevant information to hosting and infrastructure providers, analytics and crash-reporting services, attribution providers, advertising mediation and ad networks, support tools, professional advisers, authorities when legally required, and a successor in a corporate transaction. A provider may act on our instructions or, where its service and contract require, determine some advertising purposes independently. Its own privacy notice may then apply.

8. Advertising disclosure and United States privacy terms

We do not sell users’ personal information for a cash payment. Depending on the configuration of personalised advertising, disclosure of identifiers and ad activity to advertising partners may nevertheless be treated as a “sale”, “sharing” or targeted advertising under some U.S. laws. Where those laws apply, we provide the relevant opt-out choice. Section 16 explains the California position and request methods. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of anyone under 18 because the App is intended only for adults.

9. How long we keep information

We keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to security, legal and dispute-related needs.

When a period ends, we delete, anonymise or de-identify information unless the law permits or requires longer retention. Deleting the App from a device may erase local progress but may not immediately erase records already sent to us or providers; use the privacy contact for a deletion request.

10. International processing and transfers

We and our providers may process information outside the country where you use the App. Where a transfer requires a legal mechanism, we use an applicable adequacy decision, contractual safeguards, or another lawful mechanism as appropriate to the actual route. Contact us for information about safeguards available to you.

11. Security

We use organisational and technical measures appropriate to the information and risks, such as access controls, secure transport and provider oversight. No electronic service is completely secure. Please contact us if you suspect that information associated with your installation has been exposed or misused.

12. Age restrictions

The App is intended only for people aged 18 or older, subject to a higher local age requirement if applicable. We do not knowingly collect information from children for this App. If you believe a child has used it, contact us so we can investigate and take appropriate steps.

13. Your rights and choices

Depending on your location and the applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction or portability of your personal information; object to particular processing; withdraw consent; opt out of sale, sharing or targeted advertising; and complain to a data protection authority. Rights have legal conditions and exceptions. Additional rights for people in Brazil and California are described in Sections 15 and 16.

To make a request, write to [email protected]. We may ask for information reasonably needed to verify your request and locate a device or installation record. We will not demand more information than reasonably necessary and will respond within the period required by applicable law.

You may also manage an advertising identifier through your device settings, and use in-app privacy settings if implemented. These settings may affect personalisation and measurement but will not remove all ads or erase information already lawfully processed.

14. Automated processes and external links

Automated systems may select ads, verify a rewarded view, detect abuse, infer a general region or apply feature restrictions. These processes do not execute real trades or determine eligibility for a real financial product. We do not make solely automated decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects for you.

15. Additional information for users in Brazil

This section applies to people in Brazil and describes additional rights and information under the Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais (LGPD).

15.1. Controller and contact

The controller is the company, identified in Section 1.

15.2. Data and purposes

The App may process email, username or display name, authentication information, device and installation identifiers, IP address and approximate region, simulation and virtual reward events, advertising and attribution events, crash information and support messages.

We use these data to provide the App, apply location restrictions, protect it against abuse, diagnose issues, measure use, deliver and verify ads and respond to requests.

We do not need bank details or cryptocurrency wallet credentials for the simulation.

15.3. Legal grounds and choices

Depending on the purpose, our grounds under the LGPD may be performance of the App Terms, compliance with a legal obligation, legitimate interests supported by an assessment, exercise of rights in a proceeding, or your consent where required for advertising, device technologies or another specific purpose. Refusing or withdrawing optional consent may change ad personalisation but does not prevent use of the core simulator. Withdrawal does not affect earlier lawful processing.

15.4. Your LGPD rights

Subject to applicable conditions, you may request confirmation of processing; access; correction; anonymisation, blocking or deletion of unnecessary, excessive or unlawfully processed data; portability; deletion of consent-based data where permitted; information about recipients with whom data were shared; information about refusing consent and its consequences; and withdrawal of consent. You may object to processing that does not comply with the LGPD. If an exclusively automated decision affects your interests, you may request review and information about the criteria used, subject to lawful limits.

15.5. Requests and complaints

Send requests to [email protected]. Do not send financial credentials. We verify requests proportionately and reply as the LGPD requires. If a complaint remains unresolved after contacting us, you may petition the ANPD.

16. Additional information for California residents

This section applies to California residents and explains our practices under the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended (CCPA), to the extent that law applies to STONECAST VENTURES LLC. We use “personal information”, “sell” and “share” in the meanings given by California law.

16.1. Categories collected and sources

For the 12 months before the effective date, or since the App launched if shorter, we collected the following categories:

  • Identifiers: IP address, advertising or installation identifiers, app-set identifiers, account ID, username or display name, email address provided during registration or when contacting us, and an identifier from a third-party sign-in provider if used.
  • Internet or other electronic network activity: App launches, pages and features used, simulated trades and virtual balance events, ad impressions, clicks and rewarded-ad events.
  • Geolocation: approximate country, state or region inferred from an IP address or app-store/device settings; no precise GPS for the core App.
  • Inferences: broad ad interests or preferences generated from activity where personalised advertising is enabled.

Sources include you, your device and operating system, the App, app stores, and analytics, attribution and advertising partners. We do not require real banking details, government ID or cryptocurrency wallet credentials for the simulator. If you voluntarily send sensitive information to support, we use it only to handle the request and protect the service, subject to legal requirements.

16.2. Purposes and disclosures

We use these categories to run and improve the App, record virtual progress, apply location restrictions, diagnose problems, prevent abuse, answer support requests, deliver and verify ads and measure campaigns. We may disclose relevant identifiers, activity and approximate location to hosting, analytics, diagnostics, attribution and support providers under appropriate terms; to advertising mediation services and ad networks; and to authorities or advisers when required or justified.

We do not sell personal information for a cash payment. California law may nevertheless treat certain disclosures for advertising as a sale or sharing, so we treat the relevant disclosures as such for opt-out purposes.

16.3. Your right to opt out of sale or sharing

You may opt out of our sale or sharing of personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising at any time using in-app do not sell or share control. We honour valid opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, when received from a browser or device in a manner we can process. In the mobile App, use the in-app control if your device does not send such a signal. We apply an opt-out to the device or installation and any profile that we can reasonably link to it. We do not require identity verification to submit an opt-out request. You may still see contextual or limited ads.

16.4. Other California rights

Subject to exceptions, you may request to know the categories and specific pieces of personal information collected, their sources, purposes and recipient categories; request deletion; and correct inaccurate information. If we use or disclose sensitive personal information beyond purposes permitted without a separate limitation right, we will provide a means to limit that use. We do not knowingly sell or share personal information of consumers under 16 because the App is intended for people aged 18 or older. We will not discriminate against you for exercising CCPA rights.

16.5. How to make a request

Send a request to [email protected]. An authorised agent may submit a request with proof of authorisation where the law permits. For access, correction and deletion, we may use proportionate steps to verify that a request relates to your device or installation, without collecting more information than necessary. We will explain any lawful refusal and respond within the time required by California law.

17. Changes and contact

We may revise this Policy when our App, providers or practices change. The updated Policy will show a new effective date. We will provide additional notice where required before materially different processing begins.
