Northdown (“the game”, “we”, “us”) is a puzzle game for iPhone, iPad and Android, published by Revelar Solutions Private Limited. This policy explains what the game stores, what it sends, and what it never collects. The short version: every player gets an anonymous player ID and a display name so progress can be backed up and shown on the leaderboard; signing in with Apple or Google is optional and only used to keep your progress across phones; we collect anonymous play statistics to improve the game; ads come from Google AdMob and purchases go through Apple and Google. We never ask for your phone number, contacts, photos or location.

1. Your player ID and display name

The first time you open the game it creates an anonymous player ID for you through Google Firebase Authentication. It contains no name, email or phone number. The game also gives you a random display name (for example “Lucky Otter 42”), which you can change at any time by tapping your name on the home screen. Your display name is shown to other players on the leaderboard, so please don't use your real full name or anything you would not want others to see.

2. Optional sign-in with Apple or Google

You can choose to sign in with Apple or Google from your profile. This links your player ID to that account so your progress can be restored on a new phone or after reinstalling. We receive a sign-in token and, where the provider shares it, your email address (Apple lets you hide it with “Hide My Email”). We do not receive your password. Signing in is never required to play.

3. Cloud save and the leaderboard

Your progress (levels solved, best moves, scores, stars, coins, daily-puzzle streak, chosen character) and your display name are backed up to Google Cloud Firestore under your player ID, so they are not lost if you change phones. Your display name, total stars, best daily streak and platform (iOS or Android) appear on the in-game leaderboard, which every player can see. Purchases are never restored from our cloud save; they are restored through Apple or Google.

Settings such as sound, vibration and accessibility options stay on your device only.

4. Play statistics

To find levels that are too hard and fix problems, the game sends anonymous play events (for example: a level started or won, moves used, a hint used, an ad shown, a screen opened) together with the app version, device model, operating system, approximate country and time of day to Google Analytics for Firebase, linked to your anonymous player ID. Analytics is never used to personalise ads. You can switch it off at any time with Play statistics in Settings; the game plays exactly the same. See Firebase privacy information.

5. Advertising

The game shows advertisements served by Google AdMob (Google LLC). Google may use your device's advertising identifier and information about your device and the ads you see to serve and measure ads, as described in Google's privacy policy and how Google uses information from apps that use its services.

On iOS, the game asks for your permission before any tracking identifier is used, through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. If you decline, ads are still shown, but they are not personalised. On Android, you can reset or delete your advertising ID and opt out of ad personalisation in the device's Google settings.

Some ads are optional: you choose to watch them in exchange for coins, a hint, a skipped level or a saved streak. The game never shows an ad in exchange for nothing while you are solving a level. Purchasing Remove ads stops the advertisements between levels permanently on that store account; the optional ones remain available because they are your choice.

6. In-app purchases

Coins, Remove ads and the Everything pack are sold through Apple In-App Purchase (on iOS) and Google Play Billing (on Android). Payment is handled entirely by Apple or Google under their terms and privacy policies. We never receive your card details, billing address, or any account information; we receive only a receipt saying which product was bought, which the game uses to grant it. Restore purchases in the shop asks Apple or Google for your past purchases so they can be granted again on a new device.

7. Game Center and Google Play Games

If you are signed in to Apple Game Center or Google Play Games on your device, the game may submit your daily-puzzle score and total stars to leaderboards run by Apple or Google under their own privacy policies. The game does not receive your Game Center or Play Games profile information. You can sign out of these services in your device settings at any time.

8. Notifications

If you allow notifications, the game schedules reminders on your device (for example, that today's puzzle is ready). The game also registers your device with Firebase Cloud Messaging so we can occasionally send a message to all players or to players in a country or on one platform (for example, news about a new level pack or a new game). These messages do not contain personal information. You can turn notifications off at any time in your device's settings.

9. Children

Northdown is a general-audience game. It is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has signed in or chosen a display name that identifies them, contact us and we will delete that data.

10. Deleting your data and your rights

If you signed in, you can delete your account at any time from your profile in the game (Delete account). This permanently deletes your cloud save, your leaderboard entry and the account itself. Progress on your phone stays until you delete the game or use Reset progress.

If you never signed in, contact us with your display name and we will delete your cloud save and leaderboard entry. You can also ask us for a copy of the data we hold about you. For data held by Google (advertising, analytics) or Apple and Google (purchases, sign-in, leaderboards), please use their own privacy controls.

11. Where your data is kept and for how long

Cloud save, leaderboard and sign-in data are stored by Google Firebase in the United States and kept until you delete your account or ask us to delete it. Analytics data is kept by Google Analytics for up to 14 months. Everything the game sends travels over encrypted connections (TLS), and the database only lets each player read and change their own save.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by an updated effective date on this page, and the game's store listing always links to the current version.
