Privacy Policy

Last updated: [DD Month YYYY]

Before you publish this page: replace every highlighted placeholder below with your real details, and delete this box. The document describes what the app as built actually does — but it is a template, not legal advice. If you operate in the EU/UK, or you target children, have a lawyer review it.

This policy explains what information the Survive 100 Days mobile game (“the Game”, “we”, “us”) collects, why, and what you can do about it.

The Game is published by [Your name or company], contactable at [your@email.com]. It is distributed through Google Play.

1. The short version

We do not ask for your name, email address, phone number or location.
You do not need an account. Your game progress is stored on your device.
Advertising and crash-reporting services we use do collect device-level identifiers.
If you post a score to the leaderboard, the nickname you type is stored on our server.

2. What is collected, and by whom

2.1 Stored only on your device

Your game profile — days survived, inventory, structures you built, quests, achievements, settings and daily-reward streak — is written to your device's private app storage. We cannot read it, and it is deleted when you uninstall the Game.

2.2 Collected by Google AdMob (advertising)

The Game shows rewarded video ads only, and only when you choose to watch one — for example, to revive after dying or to double a daily reward. There are no banner ads and no ads that interrupt play.

To serve those ads, Google AdMob collects your device's advertising identifier, IP address, device model, operating system version and coarse ad-interaction data. This happens inside Google's SDK; the data goes to Google, not to us.

Google's handling of it is described in the Google Privacy & Terms and the AdMob policies.

2.3 Collected by Google Firebase (analytics and crash reports)

Service	What it collects	Why
Firebase Analytics	Anonymous app-instance ID, device model, OS version, country, and gameplay events such as which day you reached and when a run ended	To see where the difficulty curve loses players, so we can rebalance it
Firebase Crashlytics	Crash stack traces, device state at the time of the crash, and the in-game day you were on	To find and fix crashes

These reports are not linked to your name and we do not attempt to identify you from them. See Firebase privacy and security.

2.4 Collected by us (leaderboard only)

The leaderboard is optional. Nothing is sent to our server unless you submit a score. If you do, we store:

a random identifier generated on your device — not linked to you, your Google account, or your device's advertising ID;
the nickname you typed;
your highest day reached, and your enemy and boss kill counts.

Your IP address is processed transiently to apply rate limits and is not stored alongside your entry.

Please note: the nickname you enter is shown publicly to every other player. Do not use your real name or anything that identifies you.

2.5 Remote configuration

On launch the Game requests a small configuration file from our server so we can adjust game balance without shipping an update. This request carries no personal data — only your IP address, as any web request does. It is not logged against you.

3. What we never collect

Your name, email address, phone number or postal address
Precise or approximate location
Contacts, photos, files, microphone or camera data
Payment information — the Game does not currently sell anything. If in-app purchases are added later, Google Play processes payment and we never see your card details.

4. Permissions the app requests

Permission	Why
`INTERNET`	Ads, crash reports, remote config, leaderboard
`ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE`	To detect whether you are online before attempting a request
`AD_ID`	Required by Google Play for apps that use the advertising ID
`VIBRATE`	Haptic feedback on hits. You can turn this off in Settings.

5. Children

The Game is intended for players aged [13] and over. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children below that age. If you believe a child has provided us with information, contact us at [your@email.com] and we will delete it.

Publisher note — delete before publishing: the age you state here must match the target audience you declare in the Play Console. If you target children, Google Play's Families policy applies, AdMob must be configured for child-directed treatment, and this section needs rewriting for COPPA. Do not simply leave “13” here without checking.

6. How long data is kept

Leaderboard entries: kept until you ask us to remove them.
Analytics and crash data: kept according to Google's retention settings, which we set to [14 months].
On-device data: removed when you uninstall the Game, or immediately if you use Settings → Delete Save Data inside the Game.

7. Your choices and rights

Reset your ad identifier or opt out of personalised ads: Android Settings → Privacy → Ads.
Delete your local data: use Settings → Delete Save Data in the Game, or uninstall it.
Delete your leaderboard entry: email [your@email.com]. The Game can show you your player identifier in Settings; include it so we can find the right row.
Skip the leaderboard entirely: simply do not submit a score.

Depending on where you live, you may also have rights to access, correct, port or object to the processing of your data — for example under the GDPR (EU/UK) or the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (India). Write to [your@email.com] and we will respond within [30] days.

8. Where data is processed

Our server is hosted by Hostinger in [region — e.g. India / Lithuania]. Google's services process data in the regions described in their own policies, which may be outside your country.

9. Security

Traffic between the Game and our server is encrypted with HTTPS. Leaderboard submissions are signed to deter tampering. No system is perfectly secure, but the data we hold is limited by design: a nickname, a random id and three numbers.

10. Changes to this policy

If this policy changes materially we will update the date at the top and, where the change is significant, note it in the app's release notes. Continuing to play after a change means you accept the updated policy.
