CyberGun Privacy Policy
CyberGun ("the game", "we", "us") is a physics arcade shooter for Android and iOS made by an independent developer. This policy explains what information the game collects, why, who it is shared with, and the choices you have. It applies to the CyberGun app and to the web preview at eyadroid.com/cybergun. The web preview sends no analytics or crash reports and shows no ads.
- There are no accounts. We never ask for your name, email, phone number, contacts, photos, camera, microphone or location.
- Your progress, settings and saved replays stay on your device.
- The game sends anonymous gameplay statistics and crash reports to Google Firebase. You can turn this off in Settings → USAGE DATA.
- The game shows ads from Google AdMob. Where the law requires it, you are asked for consent first.
- We do not sell your personal information.
1. Information stored only on your device
The game saves the following in its own app storage on your phone. It is never uploaded to us:
- Level progress, stars, unlocked guns and per-level attempt counts.
- Settings (sound, music, vibration, screen shake, language, usage data).
- Replays you save, including any name you type for them.
- Whether you own REMOVE ADS.
Settings → CLEAR DATA erases your progress and replays. Uninstalling the game erases everything it stored.
Sharing replay videos
When you choose to share a replay, the game creates a video file on your device and hands it to your phone's share sheet. Where it goes next is up to you and the app you pick. We never receive the video.
2. Gameplay analytics (Google Analytics for Firebase)
To learn which levels and guns are fun, too hard or confusing, the game sends anonymous gameplay events to Google Analytics for Firebase. Examples:
- Level started or finished, the outcome, stars, duration, shots and the gun used.
- Screens opened and buttons tapped.
- Replays saved, watched or shared (counts only, never the replay itself or its name).
- Ads offered, watched or declined, and REMOVE ADS purchase results.
- Settings changes, app version, device model, operating system, language and approximate country (derived by Google, not from your device's location).
These events are tied to a random app-instance identifier created by Firebase, not to your name or account. Analytics in CyberGun does not read your advertising ID (Android Advertising ID or iOS IDFA) or the Android ID, does not collect the iOS identifier for vendors, does not use Google Signals, and is not used for ad personalization. Typed text and replay content are never sent.
Analytics data is kept by Google for up to 14 months and then deleted.
3. Crash reports (Firebase Crashlytics)
If the game crashes or hits an error, a crash report is sent to Firebase Crashlytics so we can fix it. A report contains the technical stack trace, the error type, the app version, device model and operating system, and a random installation identifier. It contains no personal content. Crashlytics follows the same USAGE DATA switch as analytics; turning it off also deletes reports that have not been sent yet. Crash reports are kept for about 90 days.
4. Remote configuration (Firebase Remote Config)
The game downloads settings from Firebase Remote Config (for example, how often ads appear) so they can be tuned without an update. To do this, Firebase uses a random installation identifier and your device's IP address for the request. No gameplay data is sent with it.
5. Your choice: the USAGE DATA switch
- Outside the regions below, usage data is on by default.
- In the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, usage data is off by default and nothing is sent unless you turn it on. The game decides this from your device's language and region setting, not from your location.
- You can change it at any time in Settings → USAGE DATA. When it is off, no analytics events or crash reports leave your device.
6. Advertising (Google AdMob)
CyberGun is free and shows ads from Google AdMob: optional rewarded ads you choose to watch (for example to revive or try a locked gun) and occasional full-screen ads between levels.
- What AdMob collects: Google may collect your device's advertising ID, IP address, device and app information, and how you interact with ads, to show ads, limit how often they repeat, measure them, prevent fraud and, if you allow it, personalize them.
- Consent: in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland (and in US states where required), Google's consent form asks you before ads are requested. You can change your choice later in Settings → AD PRIVACY when that option is shown.
- iOS: the game asks for permission to track through Apple's App Tracking Transparency prompt. If you decline, ads are not personalized using your IDFA. The game plays the same either way.
- Android: you can reset or delete your advertising ID in your device's Google settings.
- Analytics and ads are kept separate: gameplay analytics are never joined to your advertising ID.
Google's use of this data is described at How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.
7. In-app purchase (REMOVE ADS)
REMOVE ADS is a one-time purchase handled entirely by Google Play or the Apple App Store. We never see or store your payment details. The store tells the game on your device whether you own the purchase; we do not run a purchase server. Purchase events (with price and currency) are recorded in Firebase analytics when usage data is on. Settings → RESTORE PURCHASES gets the purchase back on a new device.
8. Service providers
| Provider | Purpose | Policy |
|---|---|---|
| Google Firebase (Analytics, Crashlytics, Remote Config) | Gameplay statistics, crash reports, remote settings | firebase.google.com/support/privacy |
| Google AdMob | Ads and ad consent | policies.google.com/privacy |
| Google Play / Apple App Store | Download, purchases | Google · Apple |
Data handled by Google may be processed on servers outside your country, including in the United States, under Google's standard contractual safeguards.
9. Legal bases (EEA, UK and Switzerland)
- Analytics and crash reports: your consent, given through the USAGE DATA switch.
- Ads: your consent through Google's consent form, or, for non-personalized ads, our legitimate interest in funding a free game.
- Remote configuration and purchases: necessary to provide the game and the purchase you asked for.
10. Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under the GDPR, UK GDPR or California's CCPA/CPRA), you may have the right to access, correct, delete or port your data, to object to or restrict its use, to withdraw consent, and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information for targeted advertising. To use them:
- Turn off USAGE DATA to stop analytics and crash reports.
- Use AD PRIVACY, the iOS tracking setting, or your Android ad ID settings to limit ads.
- Use CLEAR DATA or uninstall the game to erase on-device data.
- Email us for anything else. Because we hold no name, email or account, we may need details from you (such as the date you installed and your device model) to locate data, and in some cases we may not be able to link analytics data to you at all.
We do not sell personal information for money. Where personalized ads count as "sharing" under US state law, declining personalized ads in the consent form or AD PRIVACY opts you out. You may also complain to your local data protection authority.
11. Children
CyberGun is not directed at children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country) and is not part of Google Play's Families program or Apple's Kids category. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has used the game and data was collected, contact us and we will help delete it.
12. Security
Data sent to Firebase and AdMob travels over encrypted connections (HTTPS). Data on your device is protected by your device's own app sandbox.
13. Changes to this policy
If we change this policy, we will update the date at the top and post the new version at this address. Significant changes will also be noted in the game's store listing.
