Privacy Policy

Draft — Last updated: September 5, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how The Cobraverse Company LLC ("Cobraverse," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit cobraverse.net, lasercobras.com, and our related sites and services (the "Services"), including our mobile game Laser Cobras! Assault and our Etsy shop. Purchases made through Etsy are additionally governed by Etsy's own privacy policy, which applies to the marketplace itself — see Section 3. By using the Services, you agree to this Policy and to our Terms of Use.

1. Who we are

The Cobraverse Company LLC is a small media studio based in Colorado, United States, that produces video games, videos, and merchandise. You can contact us any time through our contact form.

2. Information we collect

Information you give us

When you submit our contact form, we collect the name, email address, and message you provide so we can respond to you. We only use this information to reply to your inquiry.

Merchandise orders

We do not sell merchandise directly. All orders are placed through our Etsy shop, which collects your order, shipping, and payment details under its own privacy policy. As the seller, Etsy makes available to us your name, shipping address, the items you ordered, and any messages you send us through Etsy, which we view inside our Etsy seller account.

Our Etsy shop is connected directly to Printify, our print-on-demand partner. When you place an order, Etsy sends your name, shipping address, and item details straight to Printify so it can produce and ship your item — that transfer happens between those two services, and we neither handle nor forward the information ourselves. We use what we can see only to answer questions about your order and to keep the financial records tax rules require. We never receive or store your payment card details.

Information collected automatically on our websites

We use GoatCounter, a privacy-friendly analytics tool, to understand general site usage (such as page views, referring sites, browser type, and approximate country). GoatCounter does not use tracking cookies and does not collect personally identifying information. See the GoatCounter privacy statement.

Game progress stored on your device

Laser Cobras! Assault stores your progress — high scores, upgrades, coins, unlocked cosmetic items, player profiles, and settings — locally on your device. If you have iCloud enabled, this same progress is mirrored to your own iCloud account so it can be backed up or carried to another device. That information stays on your device and within your personal Apple account. We do not operate servers that receive gameplay data, and we cannot see this information. The game has no account registration and never asks for your name, email address, phone number, or location.

Game Center leaderboards (optional)

The game offers optional online leaderboards through Apple Game Center. Signing in is controlled entirely by your device and Apple ID — the game is fully playable without it and we never require it. When you are signed in, the game submits your numeric score to Apple's leaderboard service. Your Game Center nickname and score may then be displayed to other players inside Apple's own Game Center interface. We do not receive your name, email address, or Apple ID, we do not store Game Center information, and we do not combine it with anything else. Game Center is operated by Apple under the Apple Privacy Policy.

In-app purchases

Cosmetic items in the game are sold as one-time in-app purchases processed entirely by Apple. Apple handles payment and tells the app which items you own. We never receive or store your payment details, card number, or billing address.

Advertising in our mobile game

Laser Cobras! Assault offers optional, opt-in rewarded video ads served through Google AdMob. You choose to watch one in exchange for an in-game bonus, and you are never required to watch an ad to play or to progress. We serve only non-personalized ("non-targeted") ads, to every player, regardless of age or location. In plain terms:

• What "non-targeted" means. Ads are chosen from the context of the moment — that you are playing our game, your device type and language, and an approximate (country- or city-level) location derived from your IP address. They are not chosen from a profile of you, your interests, or what you do in other apps or on other websites.
• What we never do. We never ask for iOS tracking permission — because we do not track, there is nothing to ask for — so iOS gives the ad software no advertising identifier (IDFA). We do not let our advertising provider build an interest profile of you, and we do not share anything for behavioral advertising.
• Ad content. We cap the ads Google may show in the game at its "teen" (T) content rating. That blocks all mature-rated ad content — such as alcohol, gambling, sexual content, and weapons — while allowing content Google rates for teen and older audiences, which can include scary imagery, fight sports, general health, and social networks. Ads are made by third-party advertisers, not by us; if you ever see one you think is inappropriate, please tell us and we will report it to Google.
• What Google still processes. To deliver, measure, and secure ads, Google and its advertising partners process limited technical information from your device: your IP address, device model and operating system, the app's identifier, language, the coarse location derived from your IP address, and basic ad-interaction data (for example, whether an ad played to completion). Google uses limited device-level signals only to support the game's operation — serving contextual ads, capping how often the same ad repeats, aggregate ad reporting, and detecting fraud and abuse — and not to contact you or build a profile of you. We do not receive this information ourselves.
• If you tap an ad. If you tap an ad and install the advertised app, Apple's privacy-preserving SKAdNetwork may tell the advertiser that an install came from an ad shown in our game, without identifying you to them or to us.

For details, see how Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

3. Third-party service providers

We rely on a small number of service providers to operate the Services:

• Web3Forms — processes and delivers contact-form submissions to our email. See the Web3Forms Privacy Policy.
• Etsy — our merchandise is sold through our Etsy shop (etsy.com/shop/TheCobraverseCompany). If you visit our shop or make a purchase, Etsy independently collects and processes your information (including order and payment details) under its own privacy policy, over which we have no control. See the Etsy Privacy Policy.
• Printify — print-on-demand fulfillment. Receives your name, shipping address, and item details directly from Etsy through our connected shop, in order to produce and ship your merchandise — never your payment details. See the Printify Privacy Policy.
• GitHub Pages — hosts our websites and may process standard server logs (such as IP addresses) to deliver the site.
• YouTube — some pages embed videos; YouTube may set cookies and collect data under Google's policies.
• Google AdMob — serves the optional rewarded ads in Laser Cobras! Assault, configured for non-personalized delivery with ad content capped at a teen rating (Section 2). See the Google Privacy Policy and Google's ad technology overview.
• Apple — operates the App Store, in-app purchases, Game Center leaderboards, and iCloud backup of your game progress. See the Apple Privacy Policy.

4. Cookies and advertising identifiers

Our websites do not use advertising or tracking cookies. Some third-party features above (for example, embedded YouTube videos, or Etsy if you visit our shop) may set their own cookies when you interact with them, governed by their respective policies.

Laser Cobras! Assault does not use your device's advertising identifier (IDFA) and does not ask for tracking permission, because it does not track you across other companies' apps or websites. Google AdMob is configured to serve only non-personalized ads. You can additionally turn off "Allow Apps to Request to Track" for all apps at any time in your device's Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.

Laser Cobras! Assault is not offered on App Store storefronts in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, and it does not include the ad-consent tools those regions' rules require. If you are located in one of those regions while playing — for example, while traveling — rewarded ads may simply be unavailable; the game remains fully playable without them. Our websites are accessible worldwide and set no advertising or tracking cookies, so they need no cookie-consent banner.

5. How we use information

• To respond to your messages and provide customer support.
• To fulfill and deliver merchandise orders.
• To operate, maintain, secure, and improve the Services.
• To comply with legal obligations and prevent misuse or abuse.

6. How we share information

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We share information only with the service providers listed above as needed to operate the Services, or when required by law. Our advertising provider (Google AdMob) independently processes limited device and usage information through our mobile game to serve and measure non-personalized ads, as described in Sections 2 and 4.

7. Data retention

• Contact-form messages — kept as long as needed to respond to you and maintain our records, then deleted when no longer required.
• Merchandise order information — your name, shipping address, and order details live in Etsy's and Printify's systems and are retained under their own policies. We view them through our Etsy seller account for as long as Etsy keeps them there; we do not keep a separate copy. For our own tax and accounting records we retain Etsy's monthly financial statements, which list order numbers, item titles, and amounts — not buyer names, addresses, or payment details — for at least three years, as tax rules require.
• Website analytics — GoatCounter retains only aggregate, non-identifying usage statistics.
• Ad-serving data — processed and retained by Google under its own policies; we never receive it.
• Game progress — stays on your device and in your own iCloud account for as long as you keep the app installed. Deleting the app removes the local copy; iCloud-stored data can be managed in your device's iCloud settings.
• Game Center scores — retained by Apple under Apple's policies for as long as the leaderboards exist.

8. Data security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the limited information we hold, and our websites are served over HTTPS. No method of transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Children's privacy and who our game is for

Who Laser Cobras! Assault is for. We designed Laser Cobras! Assault for a general audience of teens and adults — quick arcade sessions for gamers. It is not directed to children under 13, we do not market it to children, and it is not listed in the App Store's Kids category. Under our Terms of Use, you must be at least 13 to use the game, and players under 18 need a parent's or guardian's permission.

We also want to be candid: the game's bright cartoon style, animated cobras, and cosmetic items may appeal to children younger than 13, and the game has no way to verify a player's age. So we built it as if a child might be playing, and the following protections apply to every player — not only to players we know to be children:

• No accounts, no personal information. The game never asks for a name, email address, phone number, photo, or location, and has no sign-up.
• No chat, messaging, or user-generated content. There is no way for players to contact one another through the game.
• Only non-personalized ads, capped at a teen content rating so that no mature-rated advertising is served (Section 2). We never request tracking permission or the advertising identifier, and we do not permit our advertising provider to profile players or target ads by interest.
• Nothing leaves the device except an optional Game Center score submitted to Apple, the technical data the ad software needs to show an ad, and Apple's own processing of purchases.
• Purchases are handled by Apple. Parents can require approval for every purchase with Apple's Ask to Buy, and can restrict in-app purchases and Game Center with Screen Time.

Persistent identifiers and COPPA. The game does not collect personal information from children as defined by the U.S. Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), except to the limited extent that our advertising provider, Google AdMob, processes an IP address and device-level signals — which COPPA treats as "persistent identifiers" — solely to support the game's internal operations: serving contextual (non-personalized) ads, capping how often an ad repeats, aggregate ad measurement, and detecting fraud and abuse. We ensure those identifiers are not used to contact anyone or for behavioral advertising by (1) configuring AdMob to request only non-personalized ads on every ad request, (2) never requesting the device's advertising identifier or tracking permission, so iOS supplies the ad software with no advertising identifier, (3) integrating no other advertising or analytics software in the game, and (4) declaring "no tracking" in the game's Apple privacy manifest and App Store privacy label.

Parents and guardians. If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us — for example, through our contact form — please contact us or email privacy@cobraverse.net. We will delete it promptly, and you may refuse any further collection or use. Progress stored by the game lives only on the device and in the family's iCloud account; you can remove it by deleting the app or by managing iCloud data in Settings.

Teens and U.S. state privacy laws. We do not sell personal information, and we do not use anyone's personal information — including that of consumers under 16 or under 18 — for targeted advertising or profiling, as those terms are defined in the California Consumer Privacy Act, the Colorado Privacy Act, and similar state laws.

10. International users and data transfers

We are based in the United States. The service providers listed in Section 3 may process information in the United States and in other countries. If you access the Services from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in countries whose data-protection laws differ from those of your own. Where required, our providers rely on recognized transfer mechanisms such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

11. Your rights

You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of the personal information you have provided to us — for example, through our contact form or a merchandise order. Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the EU/UK GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA, or the Colorado Privacy Act. We do not sell personal information or use it for targeted advertising as those terms are defined under those laws, and we will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights. If you are in the EEA or the UK, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.

Game progress stored on your device is under your control: deleting the app removes the local copy, and iCloud-stored progress can be managed from your device's iCloud settings.

12. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Policy from time to time. For minor or clarifying changes, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

For material changes — for example, a change to what we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, or how advertising works in our games — we will post a prominent notice on this page and on the cobraverse.net home page for at least 30 days before the change takes effect, and we will not apply the change retroactively to information already collected. Where the law requires your consent for a change, we will ask for it rather than rely on notice alone.

Continued use of the Services after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy. You may request a copy of any prior version through our contact form.
