Privacy Policy — Flag Painter: Paint & Quiz
Last updated: November 10, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how Flag Painter: Paint & Quiz ("the App", "we", "us") handles information when you use it. By using the App, you agree to this policy.
The App is developed by Marijan Ikanović ("the Developer").
1. Information We Collect
The App does not require you to create an account, log in, or provide your name, email address or phone number. You can play without giving any personal details.
1.1 Information generated automatically
Auto-generated nickname. The App creates a random nickname (for example "Fox4193"). It is not linked to your real identity and is used only to label your entries on leaderboards, in duels and in the Flag Studio gallery.
Random identifiers. The App generates a random ID stored on your device, and signs you in anonymously with Google Firebase (no name, email or password), so your own leaderboard entries and flag designs can be recognised and updated. These are not your real name or account.
Gameplay data. Your scores, solving times, stars, badges, and which game modes you play are recorded so progress, leaderboards and analytics work.
Your country (optional). If you choose your country when you start the App, it is stored with your progress and may be used for country statistics and leaderboards. You can skip this step.
1.2 Content you create
Flag Studio. If you design a flag and send it for review, we store the design, the name you give it, your nickname, the likes it receives and any reports from other players. Approved flags are shown to other players in the in-app gallery. If you tick the option that your flag may be shared on Instagram, we may show your design, its name and your nickname in posts on the App's Instagram account. Do not use your real name or personal information in flag names.
1.3 Information collected by third-party services
Google Firebase (Analytics, Realtime Database, Authentication, Cloud Messaging). Firebase Analytics collects standard usage and device information (such as app version, device model, country and general event data) to help us understand how the App is used. The Realtime Database stores leaderboard entries, duel data and Flag Studio designs. Firebase Authentication provides the anonymous sign-in described above. Firebase Cloud Messaging delivers notifications if you allow them.
Google AdMob. The App shows ads: full-screen ads between rounds and optional rewarded video ads that give in-game help. AdMob and Google may use advertising identifiers and related information to serve and measure ads.
Unity Ads (Unity Technologies). Some ads are delivered by Unity Ads through Google AdMob mediation. Unity Ads may collect your approximate location, device identifiers (such as the advertising ID), how you interact with ads, purchase history and diagnostic data, to show and measure ads and to prevent fraud.
Consent. In the EEA, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and some US states, the App asks for your consent through Google's consent message before personalised ads are shown. You can change your choice later in the App.
2. How We Use Information
We use the information to:
Run the game (track your progress, scores, times and badges),
Show leaderboards, duels and the Flag Studio gallery,
Send notifications, only if you allow them,
Understand which features and modes are used, so we can improve the App,
Show ads that keep the App free.
We do not sell your information.
3. Data Stored on Your Device
Most of your data — level progress, stars, and settings — is stored only on your device using local storage. Uninstalling the App removes this local data.
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell your data. We only share data with the third-party services that make the App work:
Google Firebase — analytics, leaderboards, Flag Studio, sign-in and notifications
Google AdMob — advertising
Unity Ads — advertising (through AdMob mediation)
These services process data under their own privacy policies:
Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
How Google uses data: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
AdMob / Google Ads: https://support.google.com/admob/answer/6128543
Unity Privacy Policy: https://unity.com/legal/game-player-and-app-user-privacy-policy
5. Where Your Data Is Stored
Leaderboard and Flag Studio data is stored on Google Firebase servers in the europe-west1 (Belgium) region. If you are outside the European Economic Area, your data may be transferred to and processed in the EEA. Advertising partners may process data in other countries under their own policies.
6. Children's Privacy
The App is a general-audience puzzle game and does not knowingly collect personally identifying information from children. The App only uses a random nickname (no name, email, or other identifying information). If you believe a child has provided personal information, for example in a flag name, contact us and we will delete it.
7. Your Rights and Choices
You can:
Change your ad consent choice in the App (where the consent message is shown).
Reset your advertising ID or opt out of personalised ads in your Android settings under "Privacy" or "Ads".
Turn notifications on or off in the App or in your Android settings.
Delete your local data by uninstalling the App.
Request deletion of your leaderboard entries or Flag Studio designs — contact us with your nickname and we will remove them.
Depending on where you live (for example the EU under GDPR, or California under CCPA), you may have additional rights to access or delete your data. To exercise these, contact us below.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted at this URL with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the App after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
