Tile Dash

Last updated: March 19, 2026

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Tile Dash ("the App", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our mobile application. By using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information as described in this policy.

Information We Collect

1. Anonymous Authentication

When you first open the App, we create an anonymous account using Firebase Authentication. This generates a unique user identifier (UID) that is not linked to your real identity, email address, phone number, or any other personal information. No sign-up or login is required.

2. Display Name

If you participate in the leaderboard, a randomly generated display name (e.g., "Neon Fox #4821") is assigned to you. You may choose to change this display name. Display names are stored in Google Firebase Firestore and are visible to other users on the leaderboard.

3. Leaderboard Data

When you submit a score to the leaderboard, the following data is stored in Firebase Firestore:

• Your anonymous user ID
• Your display name
• Your highest score per game mode
• A timestamp of when the score was submitted

Only your personal best score per game mode is retained. This data is visible to other users via the in-app leaderboard.

4. Analytics Data

We use Firebase Analytics to collect anonymous usage data to help us improve the App. This includes:

• Game events (game starts, game overs, level completions)
• In-game economy events (item purchases using in-game currency, ad views)
• General app usage patterns (screen views, session duration)

This data is aggregated and anonymous. It is not linked to your real-world identity.

5. Crash Reports

We use Firebase Crashlytics to collect anonymous crash reports when the App encounters an error. These reports include technical information about your device and the state of the App at the time of the crash. This data is used solely to identify and fix bugs.

6. Advertising

The App displays ads provided by Google AdMob. Google AdMob may collect and use data as described in Google's Privacy Policy. This may include:

• Device identifiers (e.g., advertising ID)
• IP address
• General location data (not precise location)
• App usage data relevant to ad serving

You may be shown personalized or non-personalized ads depending on your device settings and consent choices. You can manage your ad preferences through your device's settings under "Google" > "Ads".

7. Local Data

The App stores preferences and game progress locally on your device using SharedPreferences. This includes:

• High scores and in-game currency
• Unlocked items (music tracks, trails)
• Settings (sound, music, vibration preferences)
• Tutorial completion state

This data never leaves your device unless you submit a score to the leaderboard.

How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information to:

• Provide and maintain the leaderboard functionality
• Display advertisements to support the free App
• Analyze anonymous usage patterns to improve the App
• Diagnose and fix crashes and technical issues

Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. Data is shared only with the following third-party services that are essential to the App's functionality:

These services are governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

Data Retention

• Leaderboard data is retained indefinitely unless you request its deletion.
• Analytics and crash data is retained according to Firebase's default retention policies (typically 14 months for analytics, 90 days for crash data).
• Local data persists on your device until you uninstall the App or clear its data.

Children's Privacy

The App does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. The App uses anonymous authentication only and does not require any personal information to use. If you believe a child has provided personal information through the App, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Request deletion of your leaderboard data by contacting us at the email below
• Reset your anonymous account by clearing the App's data or reinstalling the App
• Opt out of personalized advertising through your Android device settings under "Google" > "Ads"

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the data associated with the App. All communication with Firebase services is encrypted in transit. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected by an updated "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
