We use analytics tools provided by Google to understand how the Service is used and to improve it. Analytics are loaded only after you accept analytics cookies via our cookie consent banner; if you decline or have not yet made a choice, no analytics scripts are loaded. The same consent applies whether you use the Service via the web or via the mobile application.

2.6 Data we do not collect

The mobile application does not access:

  • Precise or approximate device location
  • Camera, microphone, photos or media gallery
  • Contacts, calendar, SMS, or call logs
  • Files on your device outside the application itself
  • Health, fitness or financial data

The mobile application only asks permission to show notifications, and only if you choose to enable them.

3. How we use data

We use data to:

  • Provide access to your account
  • Operate the game
  • Save your progress
  • Personalize your experience (language, settings)
  • Analyze and improve the Service
  • Ensure security and prevent abuse
  • Send service and marketing communications

We do not use personal data for personalized advertising.

4. Legal bases for processing

We process personal data based on the following legal grounds:

  • Performance of contract: to provide you with access to the Service and its features.
  • Legitimate interests: to ensure security, perform analytics, and improve the Service.
  • Consent: for the use of cookies (where required) and for marketing communications.

5. Communications

We may send you:

  • Service messages (important updates, security notices).
  • Marketing messages (with your consent only).

Marketing messages are sent only if the user has opted in. You can opt out at any time via the settings or an unsubscribe link in the email.

6. Sharing data with third parties

We do not sell personal data to third parties.

We may share data with technical vendors/processors, including:

  • Google (for sign-in and analytics)
  • Firebase (for push notifications and infrastructure)

These third-party services may collect and process data according to their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing:
Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Firebase Privacy Policy: https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy

Data sharing is limited to what is necessary for the Service to function.

7. International data transfers

Data may be processed and stored outside the user’s country, including in jurisdictions with different data protection levels. We take reasonable measures to ensure an adequate level of protection during such transfers. Such transfers may involve standard contractual clauses or other safeguards. Where applicable, some of our providers may participate in frameworks like the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

8. Data retention

We keep personal data:

  • While the account is active.
  • Until the user requests deletion.

After an account is deleted, all personal data is irreversibly removed, except where retention is required by law.

9. Account deletion

You can request account deletion by writing to:
[email protected]
We process such requests within 30 days.

Web resource for account deletion (without needing the app installed):

This web page allows the user to initiate account and data deletion and explains which data will be deleted or retained (for legal reasons) and the processing timelines.

Upon deletion:

  • All personal data is deleted or anonymized.
  • Some technical or legally required data may be retained as required by law.

10. User rights

As a user, you have the right to:

  • Access your data
  • Correct your data
  • Delete your data
  • Restrict or object to processing
  • Obtain a copy of your data (data portability)

Providing your email and name via Google sign-in is necessary to create and maintain your account and progress. If you do not provide this data, you may not have access to account-specific features. We do not use automated decision-making or profiling with legal effects.

11. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to ensure the Service works properly. Some cookies are necessary (e.g. for authentication) and cannot be disabled. Other cookies (especially analytics) may only be used with user consent where required by law. You can manage cookies via your browser settings.

If consent is required by law for analytics cookies, we display a cookie consent banner where you can accept or decline non-essential cookies. You can change your choice at any time in your browser settings.

12. Security

We implement reasonable organizational and technical security measures, including:

  • Access controls
  • Session protection
  • Basic authentication mechanisms

However, no system is completely secure. We regularly review and improve our measures.

13. User content and interactions

13.1 Inviting friends

You may invite friends to use the Service by entering their email address. We store the email address you provide and send them a one-time invitation email on your behalf. We do not use invited email addresses for marketing or for any other purpose, and we delete them when the invitation is accepted, expires, or upon request to [email protected].

13.2 Sharing results

You may share your game results. Results you choose to share may be visible to other users or to anyone who has the share link.

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you are under 13, please do not use the Service or provide any personal data.
