Welcome to Skywyrm ("the App"). By downloading or using the App, you agree to this combined Terms of Service & Privacy Policy ("Agreement"). If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the App.

4. Privacy Policy
Your privacy is important to us. This section describes what data the App collects, why, and how it is handled.
4.1 Data We Collect
The App collects the following minimal data for leaderboard and cloud save functionality:
- Display name -- either the default name "WYRM RIDER" or, with your consent on iOS, your Game Center name. On Android, your Play Games name is used by default.
- Game scores -- your best score in normal and hard mode
- Platform identifier -- indicates whether you play on Android or iOS
- Anonymous identifier -- a Firebase Anonymous Authentication token (not linked to any personal information)
- Cloud save data -- best scores, selected character, and background preference (synced to allow device recovery)
This data is submitted to our Firebase Firestore database only when a game ends and only in production builds.
4.2 Data We Do NOT Collect
- No real names, email addresses, or personal information
- No location data
- No gameplay analytics or behavioral tracking by us
- No contacts, photos, or device files
4.3 Third-Party Services
The App uses the following third-party services:
- Google Firebase (Anonymous Authentication & Firestore) -- for leaderboard and cloud save functionality. Firebase may collect basic device information as described in Firebase's privacy documentation.
- Google AdMob -- for displaying banner advertisements. Google may collect device identifiers and usage data for ad personalization. See Google's Privacy Policy. You can manage ad personalization in your device settings.
- Apple Game Center (iOS) / Google Play Games (Android) -- for achievements and platform leaderboards. These services are governed by their respective platform privacy policies.
4.4 Data Storage
- Local data (game saves, scores, preferences) is stored on your device using platform-standard storage (SharedPreferences on Android, NSUserDefaults on iOS)
- Leaderboard and cloud save data (display name, scores, preferences) is stored in Google Firebase Firestore
