This explains what Pickle Mania collects, why, and your choices. Short version: what you need to play, nothing sold.
What we keep, and why
Your sign-in. A random account id from Firebase Authentication (Google), and your email if you link one. To keep your player and progress.
Your player. Player name, chosen player and look, country, control mode and game settings, and whether you allow your look in other people's matches. Stored in Firebase (Google Cloud). To show your player to you and, if you allow it, to others.
Your progress. Level, coins, gems, items, trophies and match history, kept on your phone and on our servers (so they are not lost and to stop cheating).
Purchases. Handled by Apple or Google. We receive the purchase's transaction number to give you what you bought once, never your card details.
Your age. Only whether you are 13 or older, asked once. Players under 13 cannot play.
Crash reports. If the game crashes, Firebase Crashlytics (Google) sends us what went wrong: the phone model, its system version and where in the game it crashed, with your random account id. To fix the crash. No messages, contacts or photos.
Ads
Ads come from Google AdMob: a video you choose to watch for free coins, and now and then an ad between matches. Where the law requires it, the game asks your consent before ads use your data, and you can change it any time in Settings, Ad privacy. Buying "Remove ads" stops the ads between matches. More on the Ad choices page.
Who sees it
Other players see your name, look, country flag and results in matches and lists. Our service providers (Google Firebase and Crashlytics, Google AdMob for ads, and Apple or Google for purchases) process data for us. We don't sell your data.
How long
As long as your account exists. Delete your account in Settings, Account, Delete account (or by email, see delete your account): your sign-in, profile, player name, progress, friends and notification address are removed from our servers.
Children
Pickle Mania is for players 13 and older. The game asks your age once, before you play; if you are under 13 you cannot play, and the answer stays.
Your rights
You can see, correct or delete your data. Email us and we'll help.
