We do not require you to create an account or sign in, and we do not collect your real name, email, phone number, contacts, photos, microphone, camera, or precise location.
The Game collects the following, only as needed to provide its features:
| Data | When | Where it goes | Public? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Display name you choose for the leaderboard | When you submit a score | Our backend (Supabase) | Yes — shown on the public leaderboard |
| Score, level reached, timestamp | When you submit a score | Supabase | Yes (leaderboard) |
| Bug report text + the display name you entered | When you send a bug report | Supabase | No |
| Pseudonymous player ID, session ID, app version, platform/OS, device model, gameplay events | During normal play (analytics) | Supabase | No |
| Ad interaction events (e.g. “watch ad” taps), with player/session ID, platform, app version | When you interact with ads | Supabase | No |
| Advertising ID and standard ad data (only if/when ads are enabled) | When ads are served | Google AdMob | No |
| Purchase records for in-app gem packs | When you make a purchase | Google Play Billing | No |
| Game settings and progress (gems, unlocks, options) | During play | Stored only on your device | No |
We do not knowingly collect more than the above.
3. How we use the information
- Operate the global leaderboard and show rankings.
- Review bug reports you choose to send, to fix problems.
- Understand gameplay and balance the Game through aggregate analytics.
- Process in-app purchases and, where enabled, show ads to support development.
- Maintain security and prevent abuse/spam of the leaderboard.
We do not sell your personal information.
4. Third-party services
The Game relies on these processors, each with its own privacy policy:
- Supabase (database/backend hosting for leaderboard, bug reports, analytics) — https://supabase.com/privacy
- Google AdMob (advertising, only if/when ads are enabled) — https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://support.google.com/admob/answer/6128543
- Google Play Billing (in-app purchases) — https://policies.google.com/privacy
When ads are enabled, users in the EEA/UK are shown Google’s consent (UMP) prompt and the Advertising ID is used in accordance with your choice.
5. Data retention
- Leaderboard entries and bug reports are retained until you request deletion or we remove them.
- Analytics events are retained only as long as needed to improve the Game.
- On-device save data remains until you delete it or uninstall the Game.
6. Your choices and data deletion
You can request that we delete the data associated with you (leaderboard entries, bug reports, and analytics tied to your player/session ID) by emailing [email protected] with the display name and/or player ID shown in the Game. We will process verified requests within 30 days.
You can remove all on-device data at any time by clearing the app’s storage or uninstalling the Game.
7. Data security
All network traffic between the Game and our backend and ad/billing providers uses encrypted HTTPS/TLS connections. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.
8. Children’s privacy
Astral Defense is not directed to children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the Game evolves. Material changes will be reflected by updating the “Last updated” date above and, where appropriate, an in-app notice.
