Privacy Policy
Effective date: October 12, 2026
1. Information We Collect
Depending on the features you use, the following information may be processed:
- Account information: When you sign in with Google to use the global leaderboard, we process information associated with your authenticated account, such as your account identifier and email address.
- Game data: Scores, game records, and information required to validate results and operate the global leaderboard.
- Advertising information: When advertisements are displayed, Google AdMob and its advertising partners may process information such as advertising identifiers, IP address, device information, approximate location inferred from IP address, diagnostic information, and ad interactions, subject to the services used and your device and privacy settings.
- Technical and security information: Our backend and infrastructure providers may process request information, diagnostic data, and technical logs needed to operate, secure, and troubleshoot the service.
You can play the local game without signing in. Google sign-in is required for features that use the global leaderboard.
2. How We Use Information
Information may be used to:
- Authenticate users and maintain account sessions.
- Save and validate scores and game records.
- Display and maintain global leaderboard results.
- Display advertisements and measure ad performance.
- Help detect invalid activity, abuse, and technical problems.
- Maintain, secure, and improve the app and its services.
- Respond to support inquiries and account deletion requests.
3. Google Sign-In and Authentication
The app uses Google sign-in for account authentication through Supabase Authentication. Information made available through the authentication process is used to identify your account and provide account-based features.
Google sign-in is subject to Google's privacy practices and the permissions and information involved in the sign-in process.
4. Advertising and Google AdMob
The app uses Google AdMob to display advertisements. Google and its advertising partners may collect or receive information from the app or device to serve ads, limit repeated ads, detect invalid traffic, measure advertising performance, and help prevent fraud.
Depending on your location, consent choices, device settings, and the ad configuration, advertisements may be personalized or non-personalized. Personalized advertising may use information to select ads based on inferred interests or other available signals. Non-personalized advertising may still use information for purposes such as frequency capping, reporting, and fraud prevention.
Where required, the app will request consent and provide applicable privacy choices before using advertising features that require them. Available controls depend on your location and the applicable consent and advertising configuration.
You can learn more about how Google uses information from apps that use its services at:
- Google Privacy Policy
- How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services
- Google AdMob Help Center
5. Service Providers
The app relies on third-party providers to deliver its features:
- Google: Sign-in services and advertising through AdMob.
- Supabase: Authentication and associated account data.
- Cloudflare: Backend request processing and hosting infrastructure used by the app's API.
These providers may process information according to their own privacy policies and terms. Depending on their infrastructure, information may be processed in countries other than your own.
6. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. Information may be processed by our service providers as necessary to operate authentication, backend, leaderboard, and advertising features. Information may also be disclosed when required by law or when reasonably necessary to protect the service, its users, or our rights.
Scores and other information presented through the global leaderboard may be visible to other users. Avoid including private information in any publicly displayed game content.
7. Data Retention
We retain account information, game records, and scores for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, operate the leaderboard, maintain security, and meet applicable obligations. Technical logs and information handled by third-party providers may have separate retention periods.
8. Account and Data Deletion
You can request account deletion using the account deletion feature in the app or by following the instructions on our Account Deletion page.
When your account is successfully deleted, we delete the associated account profile, scores, and game records stored for the service. Some information may remain temporarily in backups or be retained where required by law or necessary for legitimate security purposes.
Deleting your game account does not necessarily delete information independently held by third-party providers under their own policies. To manage information held by Google or other providers, you may need to use their respective privacy controls or contact them directly.
9. Children's Privacy
The app is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children in violation of applicable laws. If you believe a child has provided personal information inappropriately, contact us so we can review the concern.
10. Security
We use reasonable measures intended to protect information handled by our service. However, no electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
11. Your Choices and Rights
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to request access to, correction of, or deletion of certain personal information. You may also have choices concerning advertising personalization and consent.
You can use available device settings, advertising privacy controls, and consent options presented in the app to manage certain preferences. Account deletion instructions are available on our Account Deletion page.
12. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy when the app, its features, applicable requirements, or data practices change. Updates will be published on this page with a revised effective date.
