GetArrows is a single-player puzzle game made by Kuldeep Humbal. The game itself runs on your device and keeps your progress there. It is free, and it is paid for by advertising from Google AdMob. This policy explains what that means in practice.
1. What is collected, and by whom
We collect nothing ourselves. GetArrows has no account system, no analytics and no crash reporting of ours, the game engine's optional hardware-statistics report is switched off in every build, and we run no server. We never receive your progress, your name or your contacts.
The advertising is provided by Google AdMob, and to show ads, measure them and prevent fraud, Google's Mobile Ads SDK in the app collects and sends to Google: your device's advertising ID and app set ID; your IP address, from which an approximate location is worked out; information about your device and the app (model, operating system, language, app version); how you interact with the ads you are shown (views, taps, videos watched); and diagnostic data such as ad load times and crashes in the ad code. It is encrypted in transit. Google uses it as described in its own policy, at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites. We see only totals in the AdMob console, such as how many ads were shown, never data about you.
2. Your choices about ads
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom or Switzerland, the game asks for your consent before any ad is requested, using Google's consent form, and you can change your answer at any time in Settings, Privacy choices. Without consent to personalised ads you may still see ads, which are then not based on your activity. Anywhere, you can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of ad personalisation, in Android Settings, Google, Ads (or Privacy, Ads).
3. What stays on your device
The game saves the following in Android's standard app preferences, on your phone only: the level you have reached, your win and day streaks, your daily-challenge history, and your settings (sounds, vibration, light mode). None of it is linked to you as a person and none of it is sent anywhere. Google's consent form stores your ad-consent choice on the device too.
4. Removing your data
Uninstalling GetArrows deletes everything it has stored. You can also clear it without uninstalling: Android Settings, Apps, GetArrows, Storage, Clear data. Because we hold no copy of any of it, there is nothing further to request from us. For data Google holds in connection with ads, use the controls in section 2 or Google's own tools at myaccount.google.com. You are welcome to write to humbalkuldeep54@gmail.com with any question.
5. Permissions
GetArrows asks for no runtime permissions: nothing in it puts a permission prompt in front of you. It does not use the camera, microphone, precise location, contacts or your files. The package declares internet access and network state, which the ads need; the advertising ID permission, which lets the ads SDK read the advertising ID described in section 1; Android's ad-services permissions (advertising ID, ad attribution and ad topics), which Google's ads SDK declares for Android's Privacy Sandbox; keeping the screen awake and running a short foreground task, which the ads SDK uses while a video plays; and the vibration permission, which tells us nothing and makes the Vibrations switch in Settings work. Android grants all of these without asking.
6. Third parties and Google Play
Google AdMob and Google's User Messaging Platform (the consent form) are the only third-party services in GetArrows, as described in sections 1 and 2. AdMob may fill an ad through Google's advertising partners; which ones is shown in the consent form where the law requires it. GetArrows also uses Google Play's in-app update feature: when you open the game it asks the Play Store app on your device whether a newer version has been published, and offers to install it if there is one. That exchange is between your device and Google Play, and we receive nothing back from it. The Poppins typeface (SIL Open Font License) and the Phosphor icon set (MIT License) are files inside the app, not services, and they collect nothing.
7. Children
GetArrows is intended for players aged 13 and over and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13. Ads in the game are limited to content suitable for a general audience with parental guidance.
8. Security
The only copy of your game data is the one on your device, protected by your phone's own security. There is no server copy of ours to breach. Data sent to Google for ads is encrypted in transit.
9. Changes
If a future version changes what leaves your device - a leaderboard, cloud save, analytics or another ad network - this policy will be rewritten to describe exactly what is collected and why before that version is released. The date at the top tells you when this text last changed.
