Effective Date: April 28, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how "Word Rush: Last Man Standing" ("the Game") handles your personal information.

 1. Data Collection and Usage

Our game is designed to provide a fun and competitive word-building experience. Here is how we handle your data:

Microphone Data (RECORD_AUDIO): The Game includes a "Voice Mode" feature that allows players to speak their answers. We use the standard Android Speech Recognition API to convert your voice into text. **We do not record, store, or transmit your actual audio data to our servers.** The audio is processed locally on your device or via Google's secure speech services only for the duration of the speech-to-text conversion.

Firebase Realtime Database: For our multiplayer "Party Mode," we use Firebase to synchronize the game state (current word, player lives, and room status) between connected players. We store your chosen nickname temporarily in the room data to identify you to other players in the same match. This data is deleted when the game room is closed.

2. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services which may collect information used to identify you:

Google Play Services: Provides app functionality and security.

Firebase (Google): Provides real-time synchronization for multiplayer matches.

3. Data Safety

We do not sell or share any user data with third-party advertisers. All data used in the Game is dedicated solely to providing the core gameplay experience.

4. Children's Privacy

The Game is intended for a general audience. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.
