Parents Guide

You probably have questions about keeping you, or your children safe while connected to our games through your mobile device. Things like age limits, in-app purchases, and privacy are all very valid concerns, and we’re here to make sure that you get the support you need.

To make sure you can enjoy Smile Panda Roger games in a safe and controlled environment, we stick to a clear set of principles that’ve served our gamers and us well:
We respect our gamers, and we put all our might into making the most fun games for them to enjoy. We’ll never sacrifice game quality for any other short-term considerations.
We want you to be in total control of your experience with Smile Panda Roger games. That means that before you or your child download our games, you should be given upfront information about the game’s content. This means that it should be totally clear when you’re about to make any purchases within a game.

If you or your child ever has any problems with our games, you should be able to quickly find out how to fix it. As well as providing guides like this, that means helping you to contact the right company for your issue, whether it’s to do with payments (which will usually be Google or Apple, who process purchases and refunds) or the game itself (which will usually be us).

Read on as we try to cover what might be your most likely questions. If we’ve missed anything, email us at hwjmyz@gmail.com. In your email, be sure to include any specific details that might be useful, like what happened and when, possible transaction ID receipts, relevant screenshots, etc.

WHAT ARE THE AGE LIMITS AND GENERAL POLICIES FOR Smile Panda Roger’S GAMES?
This gmae are made for, and offered to people who are at least 13 years of age. You can get more details on our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy pages.
Please note: You can find published age recommendations on both Google Play and Apple’s App Store on iTunes. However, these age or maturity classifications refer only to the content in our games (similar to movie ratings G, PG or PG-13 in the U.S., but related to gameplay, animations, etc.). For more on how these categories are defined, visit these support websites for Apple and Google.

HOW CAN I MANAGE OR TURN OFF IN-APP PURCHASES?
This game are free to download. Please note however that our games also offer entirely optional “in-app purchases”. These purchases are never required to play the game, but can be used to enhance some elements of gameplay. In-app purchases vary in price and range from $0.99 to $99.99 (without taxes) in U.S. app stores, for example.
In-app purchases are paid for with real money, and are always clearly labeled as such. They’re accessible “in game”, meaning that the options to make a purchase are found within the game itself.
Important: You can easily manage the ability to make in-app purchases, adjust password protection settings, or disable in-app purchases entirely through your mobile device’s general settings. The way to do this depends on whether you’re using an Apple iOS device, like an iPhone or an iPad, or a Google Android device. Either way, the instructions you need are here:
Apple iOS device in-app settings / Google Android device in-app settings

WHO PROCESSES IN-APP PURCHASES?
Here at Smile Panda Roger, we don’t process payments for in-app purchases, or have access to any of your credit card information. That’s because the payment transactions themselves are completed through Apple’s App Store or Google Play (depending on your device) via your personal email address associated with that account. Receipts for these transactions are emailed to you by Apple or Google after each purchase (though please note that any post-purchase processes are controlled by Apple or Google and are subject to change by them).

I’VE SEEN ANOTHER SITE THAT OFFERS ME IN-GAME PRODUCTS FOR Smile Panda Roger GAMES. CAN I BUY FROM THEM?
Beware of any third party sites that promise you enhancements for our games (like “free gem” websites, etc). These sites may collect your personal information, money, or both, and often never deliver the promised in-game products. If you want to make an in-app purchase, the safest way is simply to make the purchase through the game itself on your mobile device. Selling, redeeming or trading virtual in-game currency is otherwise not allowed by our Terms of Service.

MY CHILD ACCIDENTALLY MADE AN IN-APP PURCHASE. CAN I GET A REFUND?
As with most downloadable software products, items bought in our games (in-app purchases) are non-refundable. In rare cases, exceptions can be applied.

If the purchase was made on an Apple (iOS) device:
For purchases made on an iOS device, Smile Panda Roger is not able to handle refunds directly. Please visit Apple support and select the "Contact iTunes store support" link, then "Purchases, billing and redemption" and choose the option that fits you best.

If the purchase was made on a Google (Android) device:
Please send an email to hwjmyz@gmail.com. In your message please state the name of the game the purchase was made in and add the receipt of the purchase. The transaction ID (looks similar to this - GPA.1234-1234-1234-12345) at the bottom of the document must be visible. Receipts for transactions have been emailed to you by Google after each purchase.

I’VE RECEIVED A BILL FOR A PURCHASE I DIDN’T MAKE. WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I SUSPECT FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY?
If you or your child have never played one of our games, but suspect that there’s been fraudulent transaction activity on your account, then you should immediately contact Apple (for iOS devices) or Google (for Android devices), who control the transaction process.
For Apple (iOS) devices:
Visit Apple support and select the "Contact iTunes store support" link, then "Purchases, billing and redemption" and choose the option that fits you best.
For Google (Android) devices:
Visit Google support and perform a search, or use the ‘Contact us’ button on the page (English language site only) to reach a Google customer support representative by email or by phone.
If you’ve already contacted Apple or Google about suspected fraudulent activity and they’ve sent you to us, please contact us at hwjmyz@gmail.com. Be sure to include specific details like what happened and when, transaction ID receipts, relevant screenshots, etc.
Also, be sure to read through our Fraud Issues section for more about information about suspected fraudulent activity.

WHAT’S Smile Panda Roger’S POLICY ON PRIVACY?
Your privacy is always on the top of our minds. Here at Smile Panda Roger, we don’t have access to any of your credit card information. That’s because the payment transactions themselves are completed through Apple’s App Store or Google Play (depending on your device) via your personal email address associated with that account. We’ll also always ask for your consent when it comes to sending direct marketing messages to your mobile device.
We won’t sell or disclose your personal data to third parties for their own commercial purposes. We’ll also always ask for your consent when it comes to sending direct marketing messages to your mobile device.

HOW DOES CHAT WORK IN Smile Panda Roger GAMES?
Many of our players enjoy interacting with one another through group chat in our games, and we work hard to maintain a safe and secure environment for this. We don't have a private chat facility in any of our games, and we display regular warnings against sharing personal information. We have also built, and constantly update, a 'blacklist' of offensive words and phrases that can be quickly found and removed from all areas of our games.
If there are any issues, our games contain prominent tools for players to report any offensive, insulting or inappropriate behaviour to us. We've also made it possible for users to mute chat from any other player whose messages they do not want to see.
If you prefer to report any concerns by email, you can also reach us at hwjmyz@gmail.com. In your email, please be sure to include as many specific details as possible, to help us quickly understand and identify the issue.

Thanks for your help in making our games as safe and as fun as possible!
