Point the Ways ("the App") is a geography game. Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains what data the App collects, how it is used, and your choices regarding that data.
All data collected by the App is anonymous and is not linked to your personal identity.
The App requests access to your device location to determine your starting position during gameplay. Location data is used solely within the App for game mechanics and is not stored on any external server. If you deny location access, the App uses a default location and remains fully playable.
The App collects anonymous gameplay data such as scores, rounds played, difficulty settings, and challenge progress. This data is stored locally on your device and is used to track your in-game progress.
The App uses Firebase Analytics, a service provided by Google, to collect anonymous usage data. This helps us understand how the App is used and improve the experience. Data collected includes:
No personally identifiable information is collected through Firebase Analytics. All analytics data is anonymous and aggregated. For more information, see Firebase Privacy.
The App displays ads to free users through Google AdMob. The App is configured as child-directed under COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act). This means:
Premium subscribers do not see any ads. For more information, see Google Privacy Policy.
The App integrates with Apple Game Center for leaderboards and achievements. Your Game Center display name and scores may be visible to other Game Center users. This data is managed by Apple. No additional personal data is collected by the App through Game Center. For more information, see Apple Privacy Policy.
The App offers optional premium subscriptions through the Apple App Store. All payment processing is handled by Apple. The App does not collect or store any payment information. Only your subscription status (active or inactive) is stored locally on your device.
We do not sell, trade, or share your personal data with third parties. Anonymous analytics data is processed by Firebase (Google) as described above. Ad serving is handled by Google AdMob with child-directed restrictions in place.
All game progress and settings are stored locally on your device. No user accounts are created, and no personal data is transmitted to external servers operated by us.
The App is designed to be safe for users of all ages. We comply with COPPA and do not knowingly collect personal information from children. All advertising is configured for child-directed treatment, ensuring only age-appropriate content is displayed.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated date.
