Arrows Clear
Privacy Policy
This policy explains what information the Android game Arrows Clear: Logic Puzzle (the "app") collects, how it is used and the choices you have. The app is developed by Nithin ("we", "us"). If you have any questions, email nithindileep6282@gmail.com.
The short version
- You can play without an account. Guest progress stays on your phone.
- If you sign in with Google, we store your name, email, profile photo and game progress so it can be synced and shown on the leaderboard.
- No ads, no in-app purchases, no advertising trackers and no analytics SDKs.
- We never sell your information.
- You can delete your account and data yourself at any time.
1. Information we collect
When you play as a guest
Your progress (completed levels, stars, scores), your player name and your settings (sound, vibration, theme and board skin) are saved only on your device. We do not receive them.
The app downloads level data and checks Google Play for updates. These requests don't include your name or any account details. Like any internet service, the servers that answer them (run by Google) process technical information such as your IP address in order to deliver the content.
When you sign in with Google
Signing in is optional. If you choose to sign in, we collect and store the following in our database (Google Cloud Firestore):
| Information | Where it comes from | Why we use it |
|---|---|---|
| Name and profile photo | Your Google account (you can change the name in the app) | To show your player name and picture in the game and on the leaderboard |
| Email address | Your Google account | To identify your account and respond to support or deletion requests |
| User ID | Created by Firebase Authentication | To link your progress to your account |
| Game progress: completed levels, stars, level scores, total score | Your play | To save and restore your progress on any device, and for the leaderboard |
| App version, account creation time and last active time | The app | To keep the service working and fix problems |
When a signed-in player clears a level for the first time, we also add one to that level's overall completion count. This count isn't linked to you.
What we don't collect
The app does not access your location, contacts, camera, microphone, photos or files. It only requests internet access, network status and vibration (for haptic feedback). The app contains no ads, no in-app purchases and no third-party analytics or advertising SDKs.
2. The leaderboard is public
If you are signed in, your display name, profile photo, total score and number of levels completed appear on the global leaderboard, which every player of the app can see. You can change your display name at any time from your profile in the app.
3. How we use your information
- To run your account and sync your progress across devices.
- To show the leaderboard.
- To keep the app working, fix bugs and deliver new levels and updates.
- To reply when you contact us.
We do not sell your information, share it with advertisers or use it for profiling.
4. Services we rely on
We use the following Google services to run the app. They process data on our behalf under their own privacy terms:
- Google Sign-In and Firebase Authentication: sign-in and account IDs.
- Google Cloud Firestore: storage for player profiles, the leaderboard and level data.
- Google Play: app distribution and in-app updates.
See the Google Privacy Policy and Privacy and Security in Firebase. Your data may be stored and processed on Google servers outside your country.
5. How long we keep it
We keep your account information for as long as your account exists. Signing out removes your progress from that device but keeps the copy in your account so you can restore it later. When you delete your account on our data deletion page, your profile, progress and leaderboard entry are removed immediately. Requests sent by email are completed within 30 days.
6. Deleting your data
You can delete your account and all associated data at any time on our data deletion page: sign in with the Google account you use in the game, review what's stored and delete it. If you can't sign in, email nithindileep6282@gmail.com from that Google account instead. Guest progress lives only on your device and is removed when you uninstall the app or clear its data.
7. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete your personal information, and to object to or limit how we use it. To make a request, email us. We'll respond within 30 days and won't treat you differently for using these rights.
8. Security
All data is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS). Access to stored data is limited by security rules: only you (and the developer, for support and maintenance) can read your profile, and only you can change it. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to protect your information.
9. Children
The app is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child under 13 has signed in and shared personal information with us, contact us and we will delete it.
10. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we'll update this page and the effective date above. For significant changes, we'll also let you know in the app or on our Google Play listing.
