Skyward Stack Privacy Policy
Effective date: 8 October 2026
Online version: https://sites.google.com/view/skywardstackprivacypolicy
This policy explains what information the game Skyward Stack ("the game") handles, why, and what choices you have. The game is published by THE LOCKEY ESCAPE ROOM LTD ("we", "us").
Summary
• The local game shows no ads, has no in-app purchases and requires no account.
• Your progress and settings are stored only on your device.
• The Android app uses Google Firebase Analytics and Google Ads measurement to collect app usage statistics and measure our own campaigns.
• The web version of the game sends no data at all.
Information stored on your device
The game saves your level progress, stars, best scores and settings (sound, vibration and reduced motion) in the app's local storage on your device. Uninstalling the app or clearing its data deletes it.
Information collected (Android app only)
The Android app sends the following technical and gameplay usage information to Google Analytics for Firebase. Google may also use it to measure the results of our own Google Ads campaigns:
• Which levels you start, finish or fail, stars and scores, game milestones (for example your first completed level, the number of completed levels, and whether you come back the next day), screens you open, session length, app version, device model, operating system version, language, and approximate country (derived from your IP address, which is not stored).
• A random app instance ID and your device's advertising ID, so that Google can tell whether you installed or played the game after seeing one of our ads. Records are not linked to your name or email.
Technical and regional information (Android app only)
To operate the Android service, we process technical and regional information, including your IP address and country information associated with your device's mobile service. We use this information to provide and maintain the service, manage regional availability, and help detect, prevent and address misuse, fraud or technical issues.
This operational processing is separate from optional gameplay analytics. It does not involve reading your phone number, SIM serial number, subscriber identifier or precise location.
Technical service providers may process connection information on our behalf to support these functions. We keep short-lived lookup caches and limited diagnostic records for service operation and troubleshooting.
What we do not collect
• Your name, email address, phone number or contacts.
• Precise location, photos, files, microphone or camera data.
• Advertising placements in the local game: the local game shows no ads and does not personalise ads.
• Payment-card information. The local game has no purchases. Third-party services may have their own payment features and privacy notices.
Why we use this information
We use usage statistics to understand which levels are too hard or too easy and to improve the game, and to measure how well our ads for the game work (for example, how many installs and completed levels come from an ad campaign), so we can spend on the campaigns that work. We do not sell this information. Advertising personalisation is disabled for local gameplay. Features provided by third-party services may involve separate advertising measurement and personalisation.
Your privacy choices
For optional local-game statistics, you can select Allow or No thanks and change your choice in Settings → Share usage statistics. Depending on your device and Google settings, you can reset or delete your advertising ID and manage Google privacy controls. These controls do not remove records already held by service providers. You can contact us using the details below with privacy requests.
Service measurement
Where third-party services are available through the app, technical identifiers and interaction data may be processed to measure service use and advertising results. This may include Firebase installation and session identifiers, app version, service address, timestamps and, where a purchase occurs, a transaction reference, amount and currency. Our measurement service uses a random reference to associate related events. Google and the Keitaro measurement service may receive the relevant identifiers and event information.
In the current Android version, measurement for these services is enabled automatically and is not governed by the local-game statistics setting. This information is separate from optional local gameplay analytics. Third-party providers process their own information under their privacy notices.
Service providers and international transfers
Firebase and Google Ads are provided by Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited, who process the data on our behalf. Advertising agencies that run our campaigns may see aggregated campaign reports (for example numbers of installs), not data about you personally. Google may process data on servers outside your country, including in the United States, under safeguards such as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and Standard Contractual Clauses. Google's privacy information: https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy
How long data is kept
• Analytics data linked to an app instance ID or advertising ID is kept for 2 months, then only aggregated reports remain.
• Data on your device is kept until you reset progress in Settings, clear the app's data or uninstall the app.
• Service measurement references are configured to expire 30 days after creation. Technical logs follow the server’s rotation and deletion procedures. Providers may have separate retention periods; contact us to request deletion of records under our control.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete data, or to object to or restrict certain processing. You can reset or delete your advertising ID in your device settings. To ask us about data linked to your device, email us at bidogocizej746@gmail.com. You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
Children
The game's content is suitable for all ages, but the game is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has shared data through the app, contact us and we will delete it.
Security
We apply reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect information against unauthorised access, loss or misuse. Information sent to Firebase and our service is encrypted in transit using HTTPS. No transmission or storage method can guarantee absolute security.
Third-party services and websites
The Service may provide access to websites or services operated by other organisations. Their operators have separate privacy notices and terms, including for any payment features. Please read those notices before providing information or using their services. We do not control how those operators process information.
Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update the effective date above and publish the new version on this page and in the game.
