Who we are
Cosmic Slide is a puzzle game made by Brawlpixel (brawlpixel.web.app). This policy explains what happens to data when you play. We have no servers of our own: the game never sends anything to us directly, only to the Google services described below, and only for the purposes described here.
What stays on your phone
Your progress (levels, stars, coins, the daily streak, shop items) and your settings are saved on your phone. Uninstalling the game deletes them from the phone, and Reset progress in Settings deletes your progress.
Google Play Games
If you sign in to Google Play Games, the game uses it for cloud save, achievements and leaderboards. Cloud save keeps your progress and your game settings (sound, music, haptics and the accessibility options, but not your privacy choices) in your Google account through Play Games, so it can come back on another phone; if you play on more than one phone, their progress is combined, so nothing earned on either is lost. Achievements and leaderboards record what you have earned: the levels and galaxies you clear, your stars, your perfect levels and your longest daily streak. Depending on your Play Games settings, other players may see your Play Games name, picture, achievements and scores. Google stores all of this; we cannot read your saved game. Reset progress also clears the cloud copy, but Play Games does not let games take back achievements. You can sign in or out under Settings, Google Play Games, and delete the game's data in the Play Games app.
Analytics
To learn how the game is played, such as which levels are hard and where players stop, the game can send usage events to Google Analytics for Firebase, but only if you allow it: the game asks when you first open it, and you can change your answer under Settings, Gameplay analytics. The events are the screens you open; the levels you start, finish or leave, with swipes, stars, hints and undos; coins earned and spent; and whether rewarded ads played. With them Google receives an identifier for this install of the game, your phone's model and Android version, the game's version, and an approximate location from your IP address. The game does not send your name, your Google account or your advertising ID. In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, the identifier is also used only if you agree in the ad consent form (Settings, Ad privacy choices); without it, events are counted without being linked to you. Google keeps this data for up to 14 months.
Crash reports
If you allow crash reports (the game asks when you first open it, and you can change your answer under Settings, Crash reports), the game sends a report to Firebase Crashlytics when it crashes or hits an error: what went wrong in the game's code, the screen you were on, your phone's model, Android version, free memory and storage, the game's version, and an identifier for this install. Reports do not include your name, your Google account or your advertising ID. Crashes from before you answer stay on the phone: they are sent if you allow crash reports and deleted if you don't. Google keeps crash reports for 90 days.
Ads
The game is free and shows ads from Google AdMob: ads you choose to watch for a reward, and an occasional ad between levels. To show and measure ads, Google may collect your device's advertising ID, IP address, approximate location, and how you interact with ads. In the European Economic Area, the UK and Switzerland, the game asks for your consent first, and you can change your choice at any time under Settings, Ad privacy choices. Google's use of this data is described at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Purchases
You can buy Remove ads in the shop, which turns off the ads between levels. Payment is handled entirely by Google Play under your Google account; we never see your payment details. The game only asks Google Play whether your account owns Remove ads, and keeps that answer on your phone. Refunds go through Google Play.
Your choices
In the game's Settings you can turn gameplay analytics and crash reports on or off at any time, change your ad consent (Ad privacy choices, where it applies), and sign in to or out of Google Play Games. In your phone's settings (Settings, Google, Ads) you can reset your advertising ID or opt out of personalized ads.
Keeping and deleting data
Analytics data is kept for up to 14 months and crash reports for 90 days; your Play Games data stays in your Google account until you delete it. Because the game does not know who you are, we cannot look up data by your name or email address. Turning analytics or crash reports off stops collection at once, and uninstalling the game removes this install's identifier from your phone. Google's own handling of data is described at policies.google.com/privacy.
Children
The game is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect data from them.
