FlipDeck (“the app”, “we”, “us”) is a memory card game published by SpinTech.
This policy explains what information the app handles and why. We built FlipDeck
to be safe for families, and we keep the data we use to the minimum needed to
run the game.
Information we handle
Account identifier. When you play, the app signs you in
with Firebase Authentication — anonymously by default (no personal details),
or with Google Sign-In if you choose. Anonymous sign-in creates only a random
account ID.
Name and email (Google Sign-In only). If you choose to
sign in with Google, we receive your Google display name and email address to
identify your account and sync your data across devices. Guests do not provide
these.
Display name. A display name (your Google name, or an
auto-generated “Guest” name you can edit) is shown so other players in the same
online game can see who is playing.
Gameplay data. Game results, scores, matched pairs, moves,
room membership and progress/stats are stored to run multiplayer games and to
show your Memory Score and progress. Solo progress is also stored locally on
your device.
Diagnostics. We use Firebase Crashlytics to collect crash
reports and basic diagnostic information so we can fix problems.
Device information for ads. The app shows ads via Google
AdMob. From version 1.2 the app does not access your device’s
advertising ID — that permission is removed (earlier versions allowed AdMob to
read it, for non-personalized ads only). To deliver ads, limit how often you
see them and prevent fraud, AdMob may still collect limited device information
(such as device type, IP address and app-instance identifiers). It is never
used for personalized ads.
The app requests only the INTERNET permission. It does not access
your location, contacts, camera, microphone, photos, or files.
Ads and children
FlipDeck is designed to be family-friendly. All ad requests are configured for
child-directed treatment and under the age of
consent, capped at a maximum content rating of “G”, and
are non-personalized — we do not allow behavioural ad targeting
based on your activity. We do not knowingly collect personal information from
children beyond what is described here, and we do not use children’s data for
personalized advertising.
How information is used
To run the game, including online multiplayer rooms.
To save and display your scores, progress and streaks.
To show non-personalized ads that keep the app free.
To diagnose crashes and improve stability.
Sharing
We do not sell your data. Data is processed by our service providers — Google
Firebase (authentication, database, crash reporting) and Google AdMob (ads) —
acting on our behalf. Your display name is visible to other players in the same
online game. We may disclose information if required by law.
Data retention and deletion
You can delete your account and its stored data at any time from
Me & settings → Delete account inside the app
(step by step: Delete your account). You may also contact us
at the email below to request deletion. Local on-device data is removed when you
uninstall the app.
Security
All data transmitted between the app and our services is encrypted in transit
using industry-standard TLS/HTTPS.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be
reflected by updating the effective date above.
