Privacy Policy

Last Updated: January 1, 2024

At Reaction Master: Brain Games ("we", "our", or "us"), we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our mobile application.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Game Statistics

We collect the following game-related data:

• Game Performance: Your scores, reaction times, completion rates, and accuracy metrics
• Game Progress: Which games you've played, rounds completed, and achievements unlocked
• Leaderboard Data: Your rankings and scores for leaderboard purposes (displayed with your chosen nickname)

1.2 User-Generated Content

• Nickname: If you choose to set a nickname, it is stored to display on leaderboards. This is optional and can be changed or removed at any time.

1.3 What We Do NOT Collect

We explicitly do NOT collect:

• Personal identification information (name, email, phone number)
• Location data
• Device identifiers beyond what's necessary for app functionality
• Contact lists or address books
• Photos, videos, or other media files
• Browsing history or search queries
• Payment information (app is free)

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected game statistics solely for:

• Displaying your performance and progress within the app
• Maintaining leaderboards and rankings
• Providing personalized game recommendations
• Improving app functionality and user experience
• Analyzing aggregate usage patterns (anonymized)

3. Data Storage and Security

3.1 Local Storage

Game statistics and preferences are stored locally on your device. This data remains on your device and is not transmitted to our servers unless you choose to sync with leaderboards.

3.2 Cloud Storage

When you participate in leaderboards, your game statistics (scores, reaction times) and optional nickname are stored securely using Firebase Realtime Database. This data is:

• Stored using industry-standard security measures
• Accessible only through authenticated connections
• Associated with an anonymous user ID (not your personal information)

3.3 Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your game statistics against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do NOT:

• Sell your data to third parties
• Share your game statistics with advertisers
• Use your data for marketing purposes
• Disclose your information except as described in this policy

We may share aggregate, anonymized statistics (e.g., "average reaction time across all users") for:

• App improvement and analytics
• Research purposes (fully anonymized)

5. Third-Party Services

5.1 Firebase

We use Google Firebase for leaderboard functionality and data synchronization. Firebase's privacy practices are governed by Google's Privacy Policy. Firebase processes data in accordance with their terms of service.

5.2 Anonymous Authentication

We use Firebase Anonymous Authentication to create unique user IDs. This does not require any personal information and cannot be used to identify you personally.

6. Your Rights and Choices

6.1 Access and Control

You have the right to:

• View Your Data: Access your game statistics through the app's statistics section
• Delete Your Data: Clear all game statistics from your device at any time
• Remove from Leaderboards: Your leaderboard entries can be removed by clearing app data
• Change Nickname: Update or remove your nickname at any time through app settings

6.2 Data Deletion

To delete all your data, you can:

• Clear app data through your device settings
• Uninstall the app (this removes local data)
• Contact us to request removal of leaderboard entries (see contact information below)

7. Children's Privacy

Our app is suitable for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 (or the applicable age in your jurisdiction). Since we only collect game statistics and not personal information, this policy applies to all users regardless of age.

8. International Data Transfers

Your game statistics may be stored and processed in servers located outside your country of residence. By using our app, you consent to the transfer of your data to these servers. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by:

• Posting the new Privacy Policy in the app

You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes are effective when posted.
