Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how ShooterX ("the Game," "we," "us," or "our") handles information when you use our mobile game. ShooterX is primarily an offline arcade shooter, but it also offers optional online features such as a global leaderboard and Google/Firebase sign-in. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring you have a safe and enjoyable gaming experience.
Data Collection
Offline Gameplay:
For most features, ShooterX does not collect, transmit, or process any personal data or gameplay information from your device. All game progress, preferences, high scores, and unlocks are stored locally on your device.
Online Features (Leaderboard & Google/Firebase Sign-In):
If you choose to use the online leaderboard or sign in with Google/Firebase, the following data may be collected and transmitted:
- Google Account Information: Your Google account ID, display name, and profile picture (if you sign in).
- Gameplay Data: Your high scores, leaderboard rank, and achievements.
- Device Identifiers: Anonymous device or app instance IDs for leaderboard and sync purposes.
This data is used solely to provide online features such as global leaderboards, score synchronization, and account management. Data is transmitted securely to and stored by Google/Firebase services.
Local Data Storage
All offline game data (progress, preferences, high scores, unlocks, in-game currency, and store purchases) is stored exclusively on your local device using standard storage mechanisms (e.g., SharedPreferences on Android, UserDefaults on iOS). This data is not accessible by us or any third parties unless you use online features.
Internet & Network Usage
- Offline Play: ShooterX can be played entirely offline. No internet connection is required for core gameplay, saving progress, or accessing most features.
- Online Features: Accessing the online leaderboard or signing in with Google/Firebase requires an internet connection and will transmit relevant data as described above.
- No Third-Party Ads: The game does not include third-party advertisements or in-app purchases that require network access.
Sharing of Information
- With Google/Firebase: If you use online features, your data is shared with Google/Firebase for authentication and leaderboard functionality. We do not sell or share your data with any other third parties.
- No Data Sale: We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to anyone.
Children's Privacy
ShooterX is suitable for all ages and does not target children for data collection. For users under 13, we recommend using the game in offline mode. If a child signs in with Google/Firebase, their data will be handled according to Google's privacy policies and COPPA compliance. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 without parental consent.
Your Control Over Data
- Offline Data: You can delete all local game data by uninstalling the ShooterX app from your device. You can also reset your progress from within the game's settings.
- Online Data: If you wish to remove your leaderboard data or disconnect your Google/Firebase account, you can do so from the game's settings or by contacting us via the support channel on the app store listing.
Third-Party Services
ShooterX uses Google Play Games Services and Firebase for authentication and leaderboard functionality. Please review Google's Privacy Policy for more information on how your data is handled by these services.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected in future versions of ShooterX and announced through the app store listing or within the game. Please review this policy periodically for updates.
