Privacy Policy

Abtrivix ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and share information when you play our mobile games and applications (collectively, the "Services").

By playing our games, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

1. Information We Collect

A. Local Storage & Account Data

Our games operate on a server-less, local-first architecture. We do not require or collect personal accounts, emails, phone numbers, or passwords.

• Local Profiles & Progress: Any nickname, game stats, high scores, coin balances, streaks, or game board states are stored locally on your device using secure local storage (SharedPreferences).
• No Server Account Creation: This offline progress and local profile data is never collected on our servers, sold, or shared with third parties for user tracking.

B. Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Local Multiplayer

For games featuring local offline multiplayer (e.g., VS Player / Party Mode):

• Local Discovery: The app utilizes Wi-Fi multicast and local TCP sockets to discover and connect with other devices on the same local network.
• No Internet Relays: Gameplay data is communicated directly between devices over your local network without transmitting to external servers.

C. Online Multiplayer (Real-Time Gameplay & Matchmaking)

For games that feature real-time online multiplayer match modes:

• Anonymous Session Authentication: We use anonymous authentication (such as Firebase Anonymous Authentication) that assigns a randomly generated, anonymous session User ID (UID) to your device session. We do not collect or require email addresses, passwords, phone numbers, or social media logins to play online multiplayer.
• Display Name Visibility: The only user-customizable information transmitted and visible to opponents during an online match is your chosen local display nickname. This nickname is stored locally on your device and temporarily shared within the match room during live gameplay. Users are solely responsible for the content of their chosen nickname.
• Ephemeral Match Data: Live turn coordinates, board states, move validation, and match outcomes are coordinated in real-time using secure cloud infrastructure (such as Firebase Realtime Database). Online match data is ephemeral and transient — match rooms and temporary state data are automatically deleted upon match conclusion or player disconnection.
• Safe In-Game Interactions & Opponent Muting: To protect user privacy and cultivate a safe, friendly environment, in-game communication during online matches is limited to preset "Good Sport" emojis and quick-phrases. Open text chat and voice chat are disabled. Additionally, players can mute the opponent at any time during a match to silence spamming emojis and reactions for a distraction-free experience.

D. Advertising & Third-Party Services

To support our free games and provide essential features, we integrate trusted third-party SDKs provided by Google:

• Google AdMob: AdMob may collect and process device identifiers (such as the Android Advertising ID / AAID) and IP addresses to serve personalized or non-personalized advertisements, track ad performance, and prevent fraud. You can opt out of personalized ads at any time via your device's Google settings.
• Google Play Billing: Handles in-app purchases (such as "Remove Ads" or cosmetic packs). All payment transactions are processed securely by Google Play; we never receive or store your financial or credit card information.
• Third-Party Privacy Policies: For more information on how Google services process your data, please review the Google Privacy & Terms and Firebase Privacy Policy.

2. Device Permissions We Request

To provide gameplay features, our apps may request the following permissions:

• Internet Access (INTERNET, ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE): Required for serving advertisements, processing in-app purchases, and synchronizing online multiplayer matches.
• Local Network Access (CHANGE_WIFI_MULTICAST_STATE, ACCESS_WIFI_STATE, ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION): Required solely for peer-to-peer device discovery in local Wi-Fi multiplayer modes on supported Android versions.
• Notifications (POST_NOTIFICATIONS): Optional permission used to schedule local gameplay reminders (e.g., daily puzzle reset).

3. Data Retention & Security

• Local Storage: Your offline game progress, unlocked skins, and settings remain on your device and can be cleared at any time through your device's app settings.
• Ephemeral Online Data: Transient multiplayer match records stored in the cloud database are purged immediately after game termination.
• Encryption in Transit: All communications between the app and backend services use industry-standard HTTPS and WebSocket Secure (WSS) TLS encryption.

4. Children's Privacy

Our games are designed for general audiences. We do not knowingly collect personal identification information from children. If Google AdMob serves ads in our apps, it complies with COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) requirements by serving context-appropriate ads where necessary. Our online multiplayer does not feature open chat, voice chat, profile pictures, or location sharing.

5. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any updates.
