1. Information We Collect
We do not ask you to create an account or submit a personal profile in order to play. We do not collect your name, address, phone number, or payment card details. The App uses the third-party services listed below, which may collect device, usage, advertising, and purchase-related information.
If you choose to link a Google account for cloud save, we also process the identifiers described in section 4. Linking is optional and the App is fully playable without it.
2. Services Used by the App
| Service | Purpose | Typical data |
|---|---|---|
| Google AdMob | Rewarded video ads you choose to watch (to continue a level, double a reward, get an extra life, free coins in the shop, or a doubled daily gift), and occasional full-screen (interstitial) ads between levels | Advertising identifier, device and app interaction data, approximate location |
| Google Analytics for Firebase | Usage analytics: launches, level progression, feature use, coin flow, ad and purchase flow, performance samples | App instance identifier, device model and OS, in-app events, country |
| Google Play Billing | In-app purchases (coin packs, booster pack, starter pack, VIP pack, ad removal) | Purchase token and order identifier, product identifier |
| Firebase Authentication and Cloud Firestore |
Cloud backup of your game save, so progress survives reinstall or a new device; and feedback you choose to send from the App | Anonymous or linked account identifier, your game save data; feedback text with the details listed in section 4 |
| Firebase Crashlytics | Crash reports, so we can find and fix crashes | Crash stack trace, device model and OS, app version, app instance identifier |
| Google User Messaging Platform | Asks for advertising consent where the law requires it (for example the EEA and the UK) | Your consent choices, device identifiers |
| Google Sign-In | Optional: links your cloud save to your Google account | Google account identifier, email address and sign-in token |
| Google Play In-App Review | Occasionally shows Google Play’s rating card after you have played for a while | Handled by Google Play; the App does not receive your rating or review |
The App does not contain a social feed or chat, and does not request contacts, photos, microphone, camera, or location permissions. On Android 13 and later it asks for the notification permission (see section 5).
3. How Information May Be Used
- to show ads, including a rewarded ad when you choose to watch one, and to grant the matching in-game reward
- to measure app usage, progression, difficulty, and general engagement so we can improve the game
- to diagnose and fix crashes and performance problems
- to verify and restore in-app purchases
- to back up and restore your game save
- to read feedback you choose to send from the App’s settings and improve the game
- to detect abuse of purchases, such as tampered or forged receipts
4. Cloud Save and Google Sign-In
Your save file is stored on your device. The App can additionally upload a backup copy to Cloud Firestore so that your progress can be restored after a reinstall or on a new device. Access is restricted so that an account can read and write only its own save.
Cloud save first uses an anonymous Firebase account, which is not tied to your identity. If you sign in with Google, the save is linked to your Google account identifier so it can be restored on another device. We receive an account identifier, your email address (shown in the App so you can see which account is linked) and a sign-in token from Google. We do not receive your Google password. You can sign out at any time in Settings → Account & Backup → Sign Out; your progress stays on the device.
Feedback
If you send feedback from Settings → Send Feedback, the text you write is stored in Cloud Firestore together with the app version, your language, your current level, coin balance and number of wins, whether you bought ad removal, whether a Google account is linked, your device model and OS version, and your account identifier, so we can read it and fix problems in later updates. Do not include personal information you do not want us to have. Feedback can only be written by the App and is not readable by other players.
5. Notifications
The App can show local reminders (for example when your lives are full, a daily gift is ready, or a weekly event is about to end). They are scheduled on your device; no notification data is sent to us or to a push server. You can turn them off in Settings → Notifications or in your device settings.
6. Advertising
The App shows ads through Google AdMob: rewarded video ads when you choose to watch one, and occasional full-screen ads between levels (none once you buy ad removal). AdMob may collect device identifiers, approximate location, and app interaction data in accordance with Google’s policies. Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA and the UK), the App asks for your consent through Google’s User Messaging Platform before any ad is requested, and you can change your choice later in Settings → Privacy Options. You can also reset or limit your advertising identifier in your device settings.
7. In-App Purchases
The App offers in-app purchases of coin packs, a booster pack, a one-time starter pack, a VIP pack and ad removal. Payment is processed by Google Play Billing. We never receive or store your payment card details. We store the resulting entitlement on your device (and in your cloud save backup) and verify the purchase receipt to prevent fraudulent purchases. Permanent items can be restored with Settings → Restore Purchases.
8. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. Data is processed by the third-party services listed in section 2 only as necessary to provide advertising, analytics, crash reporting, billing, reviews, and cloud save.
9. Data Retention and Deletion
You can delete your account and its cloud save at any time in the App: Settings → Account & Backup → Delete Account & Cloud Data. This works for both the anonymous account and a linked Google account. It removes the cloud save from Cloud Firestore and deletes the Firebase account. Progress stored on your device stays until you delete the App.
Local settings and your save file remain on your device until you delete the App. A cloud save backup is kept until you delete it in the App or ask us to delete it. To request deletion of your cloud save or feedback, email purplusnow@gmail.com from the address linked to your account, or from any address together with enough detail to identify the save. Data held by third-party providers is retained according to their own policies.
10. Children’s Privacy
The App is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information through the App, contact us and we will review and delete it.
11. Your Choices
- You can play without signing in, and without watching any rewarded ad.
- You can turn notifications off in Settings or in your device settings.
- You can reset or limit your advertising identifier in your device settings.
- You can remove the App from your device at any time.
- You can delete your cloud save as described in section 9.
