This policy is provided for product launch readiness and is not legal advice. Final privacy language should be reviewed and approved by licensed counsel.

1) Summary

Layout Duels uses Firebase and Stripe to run the game, authenticate users, and manage subscriptions. We collect only what we need to operate the Arena, keep it fair, and support players.

2) Data we collect

  • Account data: email and authentication provider (Google).
  • Arena identity: a server-generated Arena Name (displayName).
  • Gameplay data: match IDs, moves, timers, and results (to run matches and prevent abuse).
  • Entitlements: tier, trial state, and subscription fields (server-authoritative).
  • Billing data: subscription status and Stripe customer/subscription IDs (payment method details are handled by Stripe, not stored by us).
  • Technical/log data: basic logs (e.g., IP/user agent) may be processed for security, fraud prevention, and reliability.

3) How we use data

  • To authenticate you and keep your account secure.
  • To run real-time matches and enforce rules server-side.
  • To prevent cheating, trial abuse, and fraud.
  • To provide subscriptions, receipts, and account support.
  • To improve performance, stability, and debugging.

4) Ads, cookies, and analytics

Commoner users may see ads. Ads and analytics may use cookies or similar technologies depending on your browser and settings. See Cookies / Ads / Analytics Notice.

5) Sharing and public visibility

Public leaderboards and share cards are designed to show Arena-safe information (Arena Name, tier badge, and stats), not personal info like email.

6) Data retention

We retain data as needed to operate the service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and prevent abuse. When you request account deletion, we delete or anonymize personal data where feasible while protecting match integrity.

7) Your choices

  • Analytics consent: you may be able to opt out in Settings where applicable.
  • Ad personalization: can be managed through your browser and Google ad controls (when available).
  • Account deletion: available via Settings/Support flows.

8) Children and age gate

Layout Duels is not directed to children under 13. Users must be 13+ to use the service.
