Privacy Policy

Layout Duels uses Firebase and Paddle 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.

• 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 Paddle customer/subscription IDs. Payment details are collected and processed by Paddle, our merchant of record, and are never stored by us. See Paddle’s Privacy Policy.
• Technical/log data: basic logs (e.g., IP/user agent) may be processed for security, fraud prevention, and reliability.

• 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.

Free-tier (Commoner) users may see banner ads served by Google AdSense on menu and lobby screens. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user’s prior visits to this website or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• You can also opt out of many third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info.

We also use Google Analytics to understand how the game is used and keep it stable. For more detail on cookies, ads, and analytics, see the Cookies / Ads / Analytics Notice.

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

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.

• Analytics consent: you may be able to opt out in Settings where applicable.
• Ad personalization: can be managed through your browser, Google Ads Settings, and www.aboutads.info (links above).
• Account deletion: available via Settings/Support flows.

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