Hot Streak: Card Carnival (shown in the game as Hot Streak) is a card-chain carnival game from Dank Investments LLC. This policy covers the game, its optional rewarded ads and in-app purchase, and its TestFlight beta.
Game Data Stays on Your Device
The game does not require a developer account, and it does not send your saved profile to a server operated by us. Your Midway Rank, earned tickets, unlocked charms and layouts, cosmetic choices, milestones, statistics, and settings are stored locally on your device. Builds with Daily Deal or Challenge Nights also keep their progress and results in that local profile.
We cannot see or restore this local progress. Device backups may include app data according to your Apple and device settings; those backups are handled by the platform, not by a cloud-save service in Hot Streak.
Ads, Tracking, and Permissions
If you run out of tickets during a night, players who have not bought the Full Fair can choose to watch a rewarded video ad, served by Google AdMob, for one extra ticket. Ads only play when you tap to watch one; there are no ads between hands. To serve, limit and measure these ads, the Google Mobile Ads SDK may collect information such as your IP address, device and app information, advertising identifiers and how you interact with ads. Google's use of this information is described in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
Where the law requires it, for example in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, the game shows Google's consent message before ads are loaded, and you can change your choice later from Settings using Privacy Choices. On iOS the game may ask for App Tracking Transparency permission; if you decline, the advertising identifier (IDFA) is not used and the ads you see are less personalized. If you own the Full Fair, the ad SDK is never started.
In-App Purchase
The Full Fair is a one-time in-app purchase processed by Apple. We do not receive your payment card or Apple Account details; Apple tells the game whether a purchase or restore succeeded so the game can unlock the Full Fair in your local profile. Restore Purchases asks Apple for purchases made with your Apple Account.
Other Data and Permissions
The game has no developer analytics, third-party crash-reporting SDK, or cloud-sync provider. It does not request access to your contacts, camera, microphone, photos, or location.
Optional Result Sharing
In builds with Daily Deal sharing, choosing to copy a result writes that game's result summary to your device clipboard. The game does not read your existing clipboard contents or automatically post the result anywhere. You choose whether to paste it into another app; that app's privacy terms then apply.
Game Center
If you are signed in to Apple's Game Center, the game reports your Daily Deal and best-night scores to Game Center leaderboards and reports achievements when you complete milestones. Game Center is provided by Apple: your Game Center nickname, scores and achievements are handled under Apple's privacy terms and may be visible to other players according to your Game Center settings. We do not receive your Apple Account details. You can turn off Game Center in your device settings.
TestFlight and Apple Diagnostics
TestFlight is separate from the game's local save system. When you test through TestFlight, Apple collects crash logs and usage information and shares them with us as the app provider. Feedback you send may include screenshots, comments, device details, your name, and your email address. We use beta feedback and diagnostics to investigate bugs and improve the game; we do not use them for advertising or share them with third parties.
See Apple's TestFlight & Privacy notice for the service's data handling and choices. Apple may also provide platform diagnostics according to your device settings and its own privacy terms.
When You Contact Support
If you email hello@dankinvestments.net, we receive your email address and the information you choose to send, such as a description of a bug, your device model, or a screenshot. We use it to answer your request and troubleshoot. Our email providers process messages to deliver and store our correspondence.
Please send only information needed for your request. We retain support messages and beta diagnostics for as long as reasonably needed to investigate issues, respond to you, improve the game, and meet applicable obligations.
Your Choices
You can reset your local game progress from Settings using Reset Progress, then confirm the reset. Sound, music, vibration, and screen-shake settings are kept. Deleting the app and its data also removes the local profile; offloading an app may keep its data. Backups are controlled separately by your device and Apple settings.
Contact us with privacy questions or requests about support correspondence or beta feedback. Because gameplay profiles are not uploaded to us, we cannot retrieve or remotely delete them. Depending on your location, you may have additional rights concerning personal information we hold about your correspondence or feedback.
Children's Privacy
The game does not request dates of birth or personal information during gameplay. If you believe a child has sent personal information in a support message or beta feedback, contact us so we can review and address it.
This Website
Visiting this page is separate from playing the game. Our hosting provider may process ordinary technical information to deliver and secure the site. See the website privacy notice for website-specific information.
Policy Updates and Contact
We will update this policy and its effective date if the game's data practices change, including before adding analytics, accounts, or cloud saves. Contact Dank Investments LLC at hello@dankinvestments.net, or visit Hot Streak Support.
