This Privacy Policy explains how Ghostpen ("we," "our," or "us") 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 in accordance with this policy.

When you create an account to use the online features of the App, we collect the following personal information:

  • Name: First and Last name (to personalize your profile).
  • Email Address: Used for account authentication and recovery.
  • Date of Birth: Used to determine age-appropriate settings or compliance.
  • Password: Encrypted and handled securely via our authentication provider.

B. Automatically Collected Data

When you play the game, we automatically collect certain data to improve the game experience:

  • Game Progress: Level history, current level, high scores, remaining lives, and energy cell counts.

  • Device Information: We may collect limited device identifiers required for analytics and bug reporting.

C. Local Storage

For "Guest" or "Offline" players, game progress is stored locally on your device using Local Storage. If you delete the app, this data may be lost.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected data for the following purposes:

  • Account Management: To create and manage your user account.
  • Cloud Sync: To save your game progress (Levels, Scores) to the cloud so you can resume on different devices or after reinstalling.
  • Analytics: To analyze game difficulty (e.g., tracking where players lose lives most often) and improve gameplay balance.
  • Leaderboards: To display your high scores on your profile.

3. Third-Party Services

We use third-party services that may collect information used to identify you. The specific providers used by this App are:

  • Google Firebase (Authentication): Used to manage user logins securely.
