Privacy Policy

1. Who we are

Arrow Path GO is an arrow puzzle game developed by MAR-Team. We are responsible for the processing described below. Questions or requests? Email smartapps.ev@gmail.com.

2. Data that stays on your device

Most of your game data never leaves your device. The app stores locally:

• which levels you unlocked and solved, with stars, best score and best time per level;
• your lives and saved bonus lives, your daily streak, your streak freeze and milestones reached;
• how many hints you have left;
• your settings (language, theme, sound, music, haptics).

This data is not sent to us and disappears when you uninstall the app.

3. The online leaderboard

So you can compare your score with other players, the app uses Google Firebase (Authentication, Cloud Firestore, Cloud Functions and App Check).

Anonymous account. On first use the app signs in anonymously, which gives you a random user ID. No email address, password or social login is involved, and that ID does not identify you to us as a person.

Display name. The app generates a neutral name automatically (for example “Player4821”). You can change it in settings to a name of 3 to 20 characters. Please note: the name you choose is visible to every other player on the leaderboard, so avoid a name that personally identifies you.

What is stored per completed level:

Anti-abuse. To prevent cheating, scores are validated on the server and there is a limit on how many submissions a player can make. Firebase App Check (Play Integrity on Android, App Attest on iOS) verifies that a request genuinely comes from the official app.

Google processes this data as our processor; storage and processing may also take place outside the European Union. See the Firebase privacy and security policy.

If you have no internet connection, the app stores your result on your device temporarily and sends it once you are back online.

4. Advertising

Arrow Path GO shows ads through Google AdMob: banners, interstitials, rewarded ads (for example for an extra hint, an extra life or extra time) and app-open ads. Google may process data such as an advertising identifier, coarse location (based on your IP address), device information and your interactions with ads.

On iOS the app asks on first launch, through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt, whether you allow tracking. If you decline you will still see ads, but less tailored to you. On Android you can turn off ad personalisation in your Google account settings.

More information: how Google uses data and the Google Privacy Policy.

5. How long we keep data

You control your local data: it disappears as soon as you uninstall the app. Your leaderboard results remain for as long as the leaderboard exists, or until you ask us to remove them (see section 7).

6. Children

The app is not specifically directed at children and we do not knowingly collect data from children. Because a self-chosen display name is visible to other players, we advise young players not to use their real name.

7. Your rights

You have the right to access, correct or delete your data. For local data you can do this yourself by uninstalling the app. For leaderboard data, email smartapps.ev@gmail.com and include your display name so we can find the right entry. Because the account is anonymous, we cannot act on a request without it.

If you disagree with how we handle your data, you can lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority in your country.

8. Changes

We update this policy when the app changes. The date at the top shows the most recent change.
