Privacy Policy

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how TapOut Arrows ("we", "our", or "the game") handles data when you install, play, or interact with our mobile application or our website. We believe in minimal data collection and maximum player respect: our game is designed to be played offline without requiring personal account registration or harvesting private identity details.

2. Information Stored Locally on Your Device

Most data created while playing TapOut Arrows is stored directly on your device using secure local storage. This includes:

• Campaign level progress, cleared boards, and star ratings
• In-game virtual currency (coins) and reward chest inventory
• Unlocked theme packs, arrow finishes, and avatar selections
• Preferences such as sound effects volume, haptic feedback, and notification toggles

This local data remains on your device and is removed if you uninstall the application, unless backed up to your Google account or platform cloud save.

3. Online Matches & Multiplayer (Arena Mode)

When you enter the 1v1 Online Arena mode, the game connects to secure server infrastructure (Google Firebase / Cloud Functions) to match you with another player, synchronize turn state, and verify match completion. The information transmitted during online play includes:

• An anonymous player identifier generated for match session routing
• Display name or avatar choice selected in-game
• Match performance metrics (moves taken, completion timestamp, trophies awarded)

4. In-App Purchases (Google Play Billing)

If you purchase coin packs, themes, or ad-removal passes, the transaction is processed entirely by Google Play In-App Billing. We never receive or store your credit card numbers, bank information, or billing address. Google sends our server a cryptographic purchase token to verify and deliver your digital items.

5. Analytics and Crash Reporting

To monitor game stability, prevent crashes, and fix puzzle glitches, we may collect anonymous technical telemetry through standard platform developer tools (such as Google Play Console and Firebase Crashlytics). This includes device model, operating system version, puzzle crash call stacks, and session performance statistics. None of this data is linked to your personal identity.

6. Advertising Services

TapOut Arrows may display optional rewarded video ads or non-intrusive banner ads provided by certified ad networks (such as Google AdMob). These networks may use an anonymous advertising identifier provided by your device operating system to serve ads and prevent fraudulent clicks, in compliance with Google Play Developer policies. You can reset or limit ad personalization at any time in your Android system settings.

7. Children's Privacy

TapOut Arrows is a general-audience puzzle arcade game suitable for all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal identifiable information from children under the age of 13.

8. Data Retention and Deletion

Because we do not maintain personal user accounts, clearing your application storage or uninstalling the app deletes your local gameplay data immediately. If you have questions regarding any server-side matchmaking logs or purchase receipts, contact us at our support channel.
