1. Information We Collect

Finger Shooter is designed to collect as little personal information as possible.

The app may use or process the following data:

a. Camera Permission

Finger Shooter uses your device camera only for real-time finger tracking gameplay.

The camera is used to detect your hand or finger movement so you can play the camera-based shooting mode.

Important:

- Camera video is processed locally on your device.

- Camera video is not uploaded to our servers.

- Camera video is not stored.

- Camera video is not recorded.

- Camera video is not shared with anyone.

If you use multiplayer mode, Finger Shooter may sync limited gameplay data using Firebase, including:

- Room code

- Player temporary ID

- Score

- Hit count

- Ready status

- Replay status

- Match result

- Connection status

This data is used only to make multiplayer gameplay work.

c. Anonymous Player ID

Finger Shooter may use Firebase Anonymous Authentication to create a temporary player ID for multiplayer mode.

This does not require your name, email address, phone number, or password.

d. Device or App Data

Firebase may process basic technical data required to provide multiplayer functionality, such as app instance identifiers and connection information.

2. How We Use Information

We use the collected or processed data only for the following purposes:

- To provide camera-based gameplay

- To show match results

- To allow replay with the same friend

- To improve app stability and gameplay experience

- To prevent misuse of multiplayer rooms

We do not sell your personal data.

3. Camera Usage

Finger Shooter requests camera permission because the game includes a camera mode where your finger acts as the shooter.

The camera is used only while you are actively playing camera mode.

We do not:

- Store camera footage

- Upload camera footage

- Share camera footage

- Use camera footage for advertising

- Use camera footage for identification

You can deny camera permission, but camera mode may not work. Other game modes may still be available depending on the app version.

4. Multiplayer Mode

Finger Shooter includes multiplayer features where players can create or join rooms using a room code.

In multiplayer mode, we may store temporary gameplay information in Firebase Realtime Database, such as:

- Room code

- Player score

- Hit count

- Ready status

- Match status

- Winner result

- Replay status

This data is used only to run multiplayer matches.

Multiplayer rooms may be temporary and may be deleted after the match ends or after a period of inactivity.

5. Third-Party Services

Finger Shooter may use the following third-party services:

Firebase by Google

Firebase may be used for:

- Anonymous Authentication

- Realtime Database

- Multiplayer score syncing

- Room code management

- Connection status

Firebase processes data according to Google’s privacy and security practices.

We may also disclose information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or government request.

7. Data Storage and Retention

Finger Shooter stores only limited gameplay data needed for multiplayer.

Multiplayer room data may be temporary and can be deleted after:

- A player leaves the room

- A match ends

- A room expires

- The room becomes inactive

Camera data is not stored.

8. Children’s Privacy

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided personal data through the app, please contact us so we can delete it.

9. Security

We use reasonable security measures to protect gameplay data handled through Firebase.

10. Your Choices

You can control app permissions from your device settings.

You may:

- Allow or deny camera permission

- Clear app data from your device settings

- Avoid using multiplayer mode if you do not want gameplay data synced online

11. Data Deletion

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
