Hard Deck keeps your game on your device; the only personal data processed is by Google's advertising service (for players who have not made a purchase) and by the app store when you buy something.
This policy covers the Hard Deck mobile game for Android (package com.app.hard_deck) and iOS. "We" means the developer of Hard Deck. Questions or requests: nkcoderz@gmail.com.
Your progress is saved only on your phone and is never sent to us. It includes:
Scores, coins, ranks, stars, medals, jets and paint schemes
The callsign you choose (a nickname; please do not use your real name)
Settings for music, sound and vibration
Which purchases have been paid out, so a purchase is never applied twice
We have no server and no account system, so we cannot see, read or recover this data.
Players who have not made a purchase can choose to watch a rewarded video ad for a bonus, such as a free relaunch or extra coins. Ads are never shown unless you tap to watch one, and players who have made any purchase are not offered ads.
The ads are served by Google AdMob. When an ad is requested or shown, Google may collect and process:
Device identifiers, such as the Android advertising ID or, on iOS, the advertising identifier if you allow tracking
IP address and the approximate location derived from it
Device and app information, such as model, operating system and app version
Ad interactions, such as views and taps, and diagnostic data
Google uses this to show ads, measure them, prevent fraud and, where you have agreed, personalise ads. Where the law requires it (for example in the EEA and UK), you will be asked for consent before personalised ads are shown. On iOS, the app asks permission before using your advertising identifier.
Read how Google uses this data in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services and the Google Privacy Policy.
Purchases (the Ace Pass, the Starter Pack and coin packs) are processed entirely by Google Play or the Apple App Store. We never receive your name, email, card number or other payment details.
The store tells the app on your device that a purchase succeeded, and the app records it locally to unlock what you bought. Restore purchases asks the store again on a new device. Your purchase history is governed by the Google Play or Apple privacy policy.
Hard Deck has no sign-in, no analytics or tracking of our own, no crash reporting service and no servers. We do not collect your name, email, contacts, photos, precise location or files, and we do not sell or share personal data. The app needs an internet connection only for ads and the store; the game itself plays offline.
Hard Deck is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has used the app's ads in a way that concerns you, email us and we will help you through the steps in the next section.
Delete your game data: uninstall the app, or clear its storage in your phone's settings. This erases everything the game saved; we hold no copy.
Avoid ads entirely: simply don't tap "watch ad"; any purchase also removes ad offers.
Limit ad tracking: on Android, reset or delete your advertising ID in Settings → Privacy → Ads; on iOS, turn off Allow Apps to Request to Track in Settings → Privacy & Security → Tracking.
Data held by Google: manage or delete it at myaccount.google.com and adssettings.google.com.
If you live in a region with privacy rights such as the EEA, UK or California, you may also contact us at nkcoderz@gmail.com; since we store nothing about you, most requests are best directed to Google for ad data.
Your game data stays in the app's private storage on your device. Connections to Google's ad and store services are encrypted by those services.
If this policy changes, we will update it here and change the effective date above; significant changes will also be noted in the app's store listing.
