3. Sources and Third‑Party Services
The data described above may be processed using third‑party services, in particular:
- Google Play Games Services – for authentication, achievements, rankings, and cloud saves.
- Google Firebase (e.g. Analytics, Firestore, Performance Monitoring) – for analytics, crash reporting, telemetry, and data storage relating to the Game.
These services process data in accordance with their own privacy policies. We do not sell your data to third parties.
4. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)
We process personal data on the following legal bases under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):
4.1. Performance of a Contract – Article 6(1)(b) GDPR
Necessary for using the Game and its core features, such as:
- Authentication and saving your progress
- Displaying rankings and achievements
- Synchronizing data across devices (e.g. cloud saves)
Without this data, we cannot provide you with key Game functionality.
4.2. Consent – Article 6(1)(a) GDPR
Certain analytics and telemetry features (for example, advanced performance metrics and usage analytics via Firebase) are based on your explicit consent.
- In the Game, you are asked to accept or decline data collection on a dedicated consent screen.
- You may withdraw your consent at any time in the Game settings under “Privacy settings” or an equivalent option.
- When consent is withdrawn, we stop collecting analytics data going forward.
4.3. Legitimate Interests – Article 6(1)(f) GDPR
In a limited scope, we may rely on our legitimate interest in:
- Ensuring the security and integrity of the Game and backend services
- Preventing fraud, abuse, and technical misuse
- Performing basic, strictly necessary diagnostics
In such cases, we always balance our interests against your rights and freedoms.
5. How Long We Store Your Data
We store data only as long as it is needed for the purposes described above:
- During the period in which you use the Game and maintain an active account / profile.
- For a limited time after you stop using the Game (typically no longer than 12 months) for:
- diagnostics and analytics,
- handling complaints and technical support,
- maintaining security and integrity of our services.
After this period, data is deleted, anonymized, or aggregated where possible.
Retention periods may differ where we are legally obliged to store certain data for longer (e.g. accounting, legal obligations).
6. User Rights (GDPR)
As a data subject, you have the following rights under the GDPR:
- Right of access – to know what personal data we process about you.
- Right to rectification – to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”) – to request deletion of your data, where applicable.
- Right to restriction of processing – to request that we limit processing under certain conditions.
- Right to object – to object to processing based on our legitimate interests.
- Right to withdraw consent – to withdraw your consent to analytics and telemetry at any time.
- Right to data portability – to receive your data in a commonly used format, where technically feasible.
You can exercise some of these rights directly in the Game (e.g. via privacy settings or account deletion option, if available).
For other requests, please contact us at [email protected] and clearly describe your request.
If you believe that your rights have been violated, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
7. Security Measures
We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including:
- Use of encryption where appropriate
- Access control and strict limitation of access to personal data
- Use of established cloud and authentication providers (Google Play Games, Firebase)
- Monitoring for unusual or abusive activity
Despite these measures, no system can be guaranteed 100% secure. We continuously work to improve security and minimize risks.
In case of a data breach that poses a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you and the competent authority in accordance with GDPR requirements (typically within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach).
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time to reflect:
- changes in the Game or its features,
- changes in the services we use (e.g. new analytics tools),
- changes in applicable laws or regulatory guidance.
If we make material changes, we will inform you in‑Game (for example, via a notification or updated consent screen) and ask for your consent again where required.
