Driptionary — Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to the Driptionary mobile application (the "Application", package identifier com.buildinghex.driptionary) created by Cyber Surge ("Service Provider") as a Free service. This service is intended for use "AS IS".

1. Summary

2. Information the Application Collects

The Service Provider runs no server for this Application and therefore receives no data directly from it. The only data that leaves your device is handled by Google Play Games Services, described in Section 3, and the one-time font download described in Section 5.

3. Google Play Games Services

The Application uses Google Play Games Services (PGS) to provide achievements and leaderboards. Signing in is optional; the game is fully playable without it, and it never blocks gameplay.

If you sign in to Play Games, Google collects and processes, on our behalf:

• Your Google Play Games identifier (a player ID associated with your Google account), so the service can recognize you across sessions.
• Your gameplay achievement data — which achievements you have unlocked and your progress toward them.
• Your leaderboard scores — game statistics such as total stars earned, longest survival time, and best run scores, where the in-game leaderboard feature is enabled.

This data is transmitted to and stored by Google, not by the Service Provider, and is governed by Google's Privacy Policy. The Application does not use Play Games "Saved Games" (cloud save); your progress is not uploaded to Google's servers. You can review or delete the Play Games data associated with your account, or avoid it entirely by not signing in, through your Google Account settings.

4. Data Stored on Your Device

So that your progress survives closing the app, the Application saves the following to your device's own private app storage:

• Level progress and the star rating earned on each level.
• Your in-game coin balance and which upgrades you have purchased.
• Your best score in each endless mode, and how long that run lasted.
• A cached copy of the display fonts (see Section 5).

This information stays on your device and is not uploaded to any server. It contains nothing personal — only game state. It is removed entirely when you uninstall the Application, and can be cleared at any time by clearing the app's storage in your device settings.

5. Internet Usage and Third-Party Services

The core game is playable offline. The Application connects to the internet only for the following:

• Google Play Games Services. When you sign in, to record achievements and (where enabled) submit leaderboard scores, as described in Section 3.
• Fonts (Google Fonts). On first launch the Application downloads its display typefaces from Google's font service (fonts.googleapis.com / fonts.gstatic.com) and caches them for later launches. As with any web request, Google receives your device's IP address and standard request metadata as an unavoidable part of delivering the file. If the download fails, the game falls back to a system font and continues to work normally.
• External links. Redirection to this Privacy Policy, or to other web pages, only when you explicitly tap such a link.

Beyond Play Games Services and the font request above, the Application integrates no analytics SDK and no advertising SDK, and no other third-party service that collects telemetry in the background.

6. Platform Data Collection

The platforms used to distribute the Application (Google Play Store and Apple App Store) may collect diagnostic data, crash reports, and anonymized usage statistics as per their respective privacy policies. This happens at the operating-system level and is outside the Application's control.

7. Global Privacy Compliance

Modern regulations require transparency regarding user rights. We uphold these rights globally:

• Right to Access: Game state stays on your device. Any Play Games data is visible in your Google Account.
• Right to Deletion: Uninstalling, or clearing app storage, removes all on-device data. Play Games achievement and leaderboard data can be reset or deleted through your Google Account.
• Right to Correction: No personal data is held by the Service Provider to correct.
• Right to Restrict Processing: On-device data is processed only locally; you may decline Play Games sign-in to avoid that processing entirely.
• Right to Portability: The Service Provider holds no account or server-side data to port.

8. Children's Privacy

The Service Provider does not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13. The game contains no advertising, no in-app purchases, and no social or chat features. Google Play Games Services requires a Google account and is subject to Google's own age and family policies; if you are under the age required in your country to hold a Google account, please do not sign in to Play Games.

9. Data Security

Your on-device saved progress lives in the Application's private storage area, protected by your device's operating-system sandboxing. Data exchanged with Google Play Games Services is transmitted over encrypted connections and secured by Google.

10. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by updating this document and the hosted version online. If the Application ever gains cloud save, analytics, or advertising, this policy will be revised before that feature ships.
