Pocket Arcade Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Pocket Arcade ("we", "our", or "us") handles information when you use the Pocket Arcade mobile application (the "App").
1. Information We Collect
We do not ask you to create an account or directly submit personal profile information to use the App. However, the App uses third-party services that may collect certain device, usage, advertising, diagnostic, and purchase-related information.
2. Services Used by the App
The App currently uses the following third-party services:
- Google AdMob for in-app advertising
- Firebase Analytics for usage analytics
- Firebase Crashlytics for crash and error reporting
- Google Play Billing for one-time purchases such as ad removal
3. How Information May Be Used
Information collected through these services may be used to:
- show and manage ads, including limiting or disabling ads after purchase
- measure app usage, game launches, gameplay flow, and general engagement
- diagnose crashes, bugs, and performance issues
- verify purchase ownership and restore non-consumable purchases
- improve gameplay, stability, and user experience
4. Advertising
The App may display ads through Google AdMob. AdMob may collect data such as device identifiers, approximate location, app interaction data, and advertising information in accordance with Google's policies.
5. Analytics and Crash Reporting
The App uses Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics. These services may collect app usage events, device information, technical diagnostics, and crash logs so that we can understand usage patterns and fix problems.
6. In-App Purchases
The App may offer a one-time purchase to remove ads. Purchase processing is handled by Google Play Billing. We do not receive or store your payment card details. We may store the purchase entitlement status locally on your device and may query Google Play to restore ownership of purchased items.
7. Data Sharing
We do not sell your personal information. Data may be processed by the third-party services listed above as necessary to provide advertising, analytics, crash reporting, and billing functionality.
8. Data Retention
Local app settings, such as language preference, sound settings, and ad removal entitlement state, may be stored on your device. Data handled by third-party providers is retained according to their own policies.
9. Children's Privacy
The App is not intentionally directed to children under the age required by applicable law without appropriate parental or platform protections. If you believe a child has provided information inappropriately through a third-party service used by the App, please contact us and we will review the issue.
