Developer: Owais Studios. App: Hollow Manor (Android, package com.owaisstudios.hollowmanor). Effective date: 27 September 2026 (version 1.0.0 and later).
In short:
Hollow Manor is a match-3 puzzle and home-restoration game with a mild mystery story, made by Owais Studios, a small independent developer. This policy explains what happens to information when you play the game.
We do not collect any personal information ourselves. The game does not ask for your name, email address, phone number, precise location, contacts, photos, or any other personal data, and it does not send your game data to us. The only data that leaves your device is the data the Google Mobile Ads SDK (AdMob) needs to show ads, described in section 5, and the optional Android backup described in section 3.
To remember your progress, the game saves a small file on your device: levels completed and stars, manor stars and the rooms and styles you restored, story scenes you have seen, coins, lives, boosters, daily gift progress, tutorial steps you have seen, when an ad was last shown (so ads are not shown too often) and settings such as music, sound, vibration, graphics quality and "Gentle scares". We cannot see this file or access it. You can delete it at any time by clearing the app's storage or by uninstalling the game.
Android backup: if backup is turned on in your phone's settings, Android may copy this save file to your own Google account backup so that your progress comes back on a new phone. This is a feature of Android and your Google account; Owais Studios cannot access these backups. You can turn backup off in your phone's settings.
The Google Mobile Ads SDK may add a few technical permissions of its own (for example to keep background work running briefly); they are not used by the game for anything else.
The game uses Google AdMob, an advertising service of Google LLC / Google Ireland Limited, to show ads:
To deliver, measure and (with your consent where required) personalise ads, and to prevent fraud, the Google Mobile Ads SDK automatically collects and sends to Google: device identifiers such as the Android Advertising ID (or an app-set ID), your IP address (used to estimate a coarse location), device and app information (model, operating system, language, app version), and information about the ads you see and tap, plus crash and performance diagnostics of the SDK. This data is sent encrypted. Google acts as an independent controller of this data under its own policies. Owais Studios does not receive this data except as aggregated, anonymous reports (for example the number of ads shown and earnings).

Consent (EEA, UK, Switzerland): when you start the game, Google's consent form (Google User Messaging Platform, a certified consent management platform under the IAB TCF) is shown where the law requires it. You can agree or refuse personalised ads. If you refuse, or if no choice could be recorded, only non-personalised or limited ads are shown. To change your choice later you can reset your Advertising ID in your phone's settings, or clear the game's storage so the form appears again.
US state privacy laws: Owais Studios does not sell personal information for money. Where applicable, Google's restricted data processing and your device's advertising settings let you limit personalised ads.
Hollow Manor is intended for players aged 13 and over and is not directed at children under 13. It contains mild suspense and spooky moments (no gore). Ad requests are marked as not child-directed and ads are limited to content suitable for teens (maximum ad content rating "T"). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 is using the game, please contact us.
Your save file stays on your device (and in your own Android backup, if you use it) and is protected by the normal security of your Android device. Data collected by Google AdMob is transmitted encrypted and kept by Google according to its own retention policies. You can delete the game's local data by clearing the app's storage or uninstalling the game, and you can reset your Advertising ID in your phone's settings.
If a future version of the game handles data in a different way (for example purchases or real online features), we will update this policy before that version is released and change the effective date above. The newest version of this policy will always be available at this address.
